NOTE
The front passenger seat belt warning will not
light up if the seat is unoccupied.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or
the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you
are wearing your seat belt and it is properly ad-
justed. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of
your passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position is equipped with an air
bag.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following warnings when
using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase
the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
•Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
•Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
•Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
•It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
•Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
•Each seat belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
•Every occupant in this vehicle should wear a
seat belt at all times.
•Your vehicle has seating positions and seat
belts for five (5) occupants; two (2) in the front
seats and three (3) in the rear. Never carry
more people in the vehicle than there are seat
belts.
•All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-sion should be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
•Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has been ac-
tivated, it cannot be re-used. It must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
ONLY.
•If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, all doors are closed and seat belts
is/are fastened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt under your arm. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•Position the lap belt as low as possible
AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The outside temperature function provides a displayjC of the outside temperature (ºC) when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The display of positive temperatures is unsigned
(blank), negative temperatures are prefixed with a
minus sign.
Low temperature warning
Above 4°C the display remains steady.
The display will flash to indicate a low outside air
temperature, and the possibility of icy or slippery
road conditions:
•When the outside temperature drops between
–3°C and 3°C.
•When starting the vehicle below –3°C.
The temperature display will not flash:
•After approximately 20 seconds, when starting
the vehicle and the outside temperature is below
–3°C.
•When the outside temperature rises from below
–3°C into the range between –3°C and 3°C.
•While driving, when the outside temperature
drops below –3°C.CAUTION
Even if the display is not flashing, there is no
guarantee that the road is free of hazards caused
by inclement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INFORMATION
(where fitted)
When the ignition is turned to the ON position, dis-
tance to oil change informationand oil level sta-
tus are displayed on the LCD displayjE in the fol-
lowing order:
– Distance to oil change (with a wrench symbol
)
– Oil level status (“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo”)
Only for models with HR16DE or K9K engine.
For details, see “HR16DE or K9K engine oil level
status” later in this section.
After the oil level status (where fitted), the LCD dis-
play switches to the last twin trip odometer/trip com-
2-4Instruments and controls

puter (where fitted) mode that was displayed before
the ignition switch was turned to the Acc, “OFF” or
LOCK position.
HR16DE or K9K engine oil level status
The Oil level status provides specific information
regarding the engine oil level.
If the oil level is sufficient, “Oil Good” is displayed
for approximately 10 seconds. If the oil level is low,
“Oil Lo” blinks for approximately 30 seconds in or-
der to draw your attention on necessary action.
G.Oil level 5 (Max)
H.Oil level 1 (Min)
A short press on the TRIP button/Steering wheel
switch during the “Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” mode
displays an approximate oil level indication between
jG /Max orjH /Min.
In the case of a low engine oil level, see “Engine oil”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
for the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set-up
It is possible to adjust the interval distance to oil
change by pressing the Clock setting/Oil change
schedule setting switch
j2 for 3 seconds while the
wrench symboland the distance to oil change
are displayed. The symbol and distance display will
start flashing and the display shows the current in-
terval. Press the switch
j2 again to increase the
interval distance. Each step increases the interval
distance by 1,000 km (500 miles). The interval dis-
tance can be set up to 63,000 km (31,500 miles)
after which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display returns to oil
level status mode and the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode and will directly dis-
play the oil level status (“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” –
HR16DE or K9K engine equipped models only). In
order to return to the distance to oil change informa-
tion and wrench symbol display mode, press the
Clock setting/Oil change schedule setting switch
j2 for approximately 3 seconds after the ignition
switch has been turned to the ON position, and
adjust the distance to oil change schedule as previ-
ously described.
See the Warranty Information & Maintenance Book-
let for the appropriate interval distance to oil change.CAUTION
•The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating with an insufficient oil level can dam-
age the engine and such damage is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
•NISSAN recommends checking the oil level
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
DIGITAL CLOCKjA
The clock function at the top of the LCD displayj2
provides a clock display when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
12/24 hour setting
Briefly pressing the Clock setting/Oil change sched-
ule setting* switchj2 will toggle between the 12
