SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental front air
bag, supplemental side air bag and curtain side-
impact air bag systems are placed in the vehicle
as shown in the illustration.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag and seat belt pretensioner system.
The circuits monitored by the supplemental air
bag warning light are the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU) , crash zone sensor, satellite sensors, front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag
modules, side air bag modules, roof-mountedcurtain side-impact supplemental air bag mod-
ules, seat belt pretensioners and all related wir-
ing.
When the ignition key is in the ON or START
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off. This means the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, side-impact supple-
mental air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag and pretensioner systems
need servicing:
cThe supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bag, side-impact supplemental air bags, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air
bags or pretensioners may not operate properly.
It must be checked and repaired. Take your ve-
hicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer.

ignition key is turned to OFF.
The low fuel warning light (
) comes on
when the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters E (Empty) .The

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and geo-
graphical north is known as variance. In some
areas, this difference can sometimes be great
enough to cause false compass readings. Follow
these instructions to set the variance for your
particular location if this happens:
1. Press and hold the
button for about 5
seconds. The current zone number will ap-
pear in the display. Release the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
button repeatedly to toggle
through the zone numbers until the desired
number appears in the display. Once you
have selected a zone number, the display
will show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
The compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the correct direction is not
shown, follow this procedure.
1. With the display turned on, press and hold
the
switch for about 9 seconds. The
display will read “C.”WIC0355

2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle
in three complete circles at a maximum
speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h) .
3. After completing the circles the display
should return to normal.
cIf the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an authorized
dealer.
cThe compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill. (The compass returns
to the correct compass point when the ve-
hicle moves to an area where the geomag-
netism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
cDo not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the op-
eration of the compass.
cWhen cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it may
cause the liquid cleaner to enter the
mirror housing.
