A key number is supplied with your key.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), NOT IN THE
VEHICLE. If you lose your keys, see an
authorized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. NISSAN does not
record key numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an authorized
NISSAN dealer or locksmith.
WARNING
I
Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
I
Before opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
I
Do not leave children unattended in
a locked vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
Locking doors with key
To lock the door, turn the key towards the
front of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it to-
wards the rear.
On power door lock equipped models, lock-
ing the driver door simultaneously locks
the passenger's door.

AM-FM RADIO WITH CASSETTE
PLAYER
RADIO OPERATION
To turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to
the ACC or ON position. If you listen to the
radio with the engine not running, turn the
key to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
ON×OFF/VOL control knob
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON
position, then push the ON×OFF/VOL con-
trol knob. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, turn the key to the ACC
position. The mode (radio or cassette)
which was playing immediately before the
system was turned off resumes playing.
When no cassette is loaded, the radio
comes on. Pushing the ON×OFF/VOL con-
trol knob again turns the system off.

is set to the desired level, press the AUDIO
button repeatedly until the radio or cassette
tape display appears.
CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and
carefully insert a cassette tape into the tape
door. The cassette tape automatically pulls
into the player.
The word TAPE and moving digital squares
illuminate on the right side of the display
window. If the radio is already operating it
automatically turns off and the cassette tape
begins to play.
CAUTION
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could cause player
damage.
The cassette tape automatically changes
directions to play the other side when the
first side is complete. At this time, the mov-
ing digital squares illuminate on the left side
of the display window.
Precautions on cassette player op-
erations
ITo maintain good quality sound, NIS-
SAN recommends using cassette tapes
of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
ICassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
dust, moisture and magnetic sources.
IDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
IDo not use cassettes with labels
which are peeling and loose. If used,
the label could jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly
around the hubs. Loose tape may
cause tape jamming and wavering
sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
collect a tape coating residue as thetape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause weak or wavering
sound, and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape. If
the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.Fast forwarding or rewinding the
tape
Push either theorbutton for
the desired direction.
The FF or REW symbol illuminates in the
display.
To stop the FF or REW function, press the
oragain, or thebutton.
