CAUTION
The battery could run down if the
seat heater is operated while the en-
gine is not running.
Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.
Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become over-
heated.
Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin orsimilar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.
When cleaning the seat, never use

similar materials.
If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system ON for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, push the VDC OFF switch. The
