CAUTION
∙ The battery could run down if the seatheater is operated while the engine is
not running.
∙ Do not use the seat heater for ex- tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
∙ Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise,
the seat may become overheated.
∙ Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in dam-
age to the heater.
∙ Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.
∙ When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials.
∙ If any malfunctions are found or the heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. The front seats are warmed by built-in
heaters.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as desired. The indicator light in the
switch will illuminate.
The heater is controlled by a thermo-
stat, automatically turning the heater
on and off. The indicator light will re-
main on as long as the switch is on.
3. When the seat is warmed or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to push the
switch to turn it off.
The vehicle should be driven with the 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 de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will come
on.
