restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is

retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode) . It reverts to emer-
gency locking mode when the seat belt is
fully retracted.4. Allow the seat belt to retract slightly. Pull up
on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in
the belt.
If necessary to ensure the child restraint is
secure, pull the shoulder belt through the
seat belt tongue beyond the stitching in the

After the seat belt is fully retracted and the child
restraint is removed from the seat, the stitching
on the shoulder belt can be pulled back through
the seat belt tongue. The stitching locates the
seat belt tongue near the top of the seat back for
easy access for passengers.

Rear-facing (Three-point type with
retractor, except Crew Cab models)
WARNING
cNever install a rear facing child restraint
in the front seating position of Crew
Cab models. Install a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat only. The force
of the inflating air bag could cause se-
rious injury or kill the child in the child
restraint.
cIf so equipped, keep the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch
turned ON unless a rear-facing child
restraint is used in the front seat. If the
switch is OFF, the air bag will not inflate
in a collision as designed.cBe sure to turn the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch OFF
when using a rear facing child restraint
in the front passenger seat. If it is not
OFF, the air bag may inflate in a colli-
sion. The force of the rapidly inflating
air bag could cause serious injury or kill
the child in the child restraint. See
“Passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch and light” earlier in this
section.
cIf the supplemental air bag warning
light located in the instrument panel
next to the speedometer comes on
when the passenger supplemental air
bag OFF indicator light is also illumi-
nated, something may be wrong with
the supplemental air bag system. Do
not use a child restraint in the front
passenger seat until the system is
checked by your NISSAN dealer.
cThe passenger three-point seat belt is
equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.

2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
brake system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
cYour brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it
to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
cPressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.

MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.

dealer immediately.
CAUTION

turned to the OFF position, the passenger
supplemental air bag is disabled and will not
inflate in a frontal collision. The passenger
supplemental air bag OFF indicator light on the
instrument panel illuminates when the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch is turned to
the OFF position. The driver’s side supplemental
air bag always remains enabled and is not af-
fected by the passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch. The key for the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch should not
be left in the switch. Remove the key after turning
the switch in the desired position. Do not leave a
key in the switch. See “Passenger supplemental
air bag ON/OFF switch and light” in the “Seats,
restraints and supplemental air bag systems”
section for details.

seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition key is turned to the ON or START position
and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt
is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds
for about 7 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt
is securely fastened.
Refer to “Seat belts” in the “Safety—Seats, seat
belts and supplemental air bags” section for pre-
cautions on seat belt usage.

restraint system (air bag system) and/or the pre-
tensioner seat belts may not function properly.
For additional details see “Supplemental restraint
system” in the “Seats, restraints and supplemen-
tal air bag systems” section of this manual.

is on, it could mean that the supplemental
front air bag or pre-tensioner seat belt
systems will not operate in an accident.

1. Two master keys (black) with chrome
NISSAN brand symbol on one side
2. Key number plate
A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
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 a 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 1 to duplicate from.
If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated
by a NISSAN dealer or locksmith.
WARNING
cAlways 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 open-
ing the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.
