WARNING
Supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag:

The supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact air bag ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a fron-
tal impact, rear impact, rollover or
lower severity side collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help reduce
the risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.
The seat belts, the supplemental side
air bag and curtain side-impact air
bag are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of
the front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in
the front seat or rear outboard seatsto extend their hand out of the win-
dow or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the previous illus-
trations.

When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the supplemental side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly
restrained.

CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less
than 20 lb(9 kg) should be placed in rear facing
child restraints. Front facing child restraints are
available for children who outgrow rear facing
child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not
fit them properly. The shoulder belt may
come too close to the face or neck. The
lap belt may not fit over their small hip
bones. In an accident, an improperly
fitting seat belt could cause serious or
fatal injury. Always use appropriate
child restraints.All US states and provinces of Canada require
the use of approved child restraints for infants
and small children. (See “Child restraints” later in
this section.)
In addition, there are many types of child re-
straints available for larger children which should
be used for maximum protection.
NISSAN recommends that all preteens and
children be restrained in the rear seat if
possible. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (air bag system) for the front passen-
ger (see “Supplemental Restraint System”
earlier in this section for precautions).
Infants and small childrenNISSAN recommends that infants and small
children be placed in child restraints that comply
with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You
should choose a child restraint that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.AM RADIO RECEPTIONAM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electricalpower lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTIONWhen the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio
may not work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio
ON for satellite radio to receive all of the neces-
sary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO
SAT” is displayed when the SAT button is
pressed, unless optional satellite receiver and
antenna were factory installed (late availability
only/retrofit unavailable), and an XM
or
SIRIUS
TM
satellite radio service subscription is
active.
Satellite radio performance may be effected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
radio antenna.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player
To maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.

Cassette tapes should be removed fromthe player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture and magnetic sources.

Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.

Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label
could jam in the player.

If 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 jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.

Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and
should be removed periodically with a
head cleaning tape. If the residue is not
removed periodically, the player may
need to be disassembled for cleaning.
