FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
●Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine and do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refueling.
● Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
● Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause
the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) to come on.
● Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. ●
Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are fill-
ing it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con- tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
●Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. For additional information, re-
fer to the “Fuel Recommendation” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual. ●
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will ap-
pear if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. It may take a few driving trips
for the message to be displayed. Failure
to tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
after the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning ap-
pears may cause the
Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
● Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light illuminates because
the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing,
tighten or install the cap and continue
to drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving trips.
If the
light does not turn off after a
few driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information, refer to the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and Controls” section
in this manual.
● If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.

driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
● Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from the
air bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-31

CAUTION
For vehicles with automatic drive posi-
tioner: Failure to reset the tilt and tele-
scoping functions of the steering wheel,
after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged, may prevent the steering wheel
position from being adjusted.
For vehicles with automatic drive positioner: Both
the tilt and telescopic steering operation must be
reset after the vehicle’s battery has been dis-
charged in order to prevent the tilt and telescopic
operation from locking in one position. When the
battery has been recharged or replaced, perform
the following:
● For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
2that can be reached.
● For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
1so the steering wheel moves to the most
forward and backward position
3that can
be reached.
Performing these operations resets the range of
the steering wheel’s tilt and telescopic function.
Entry/Exit function
The automatic drive positioner system will make
the steering wheel move up automatically when
the driver’s door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the driver
get into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position when
the driver’s door is closed and the ignition switch
is pushed.

ignition switch placed in the OFF position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position: ● When the ignition switch is turned into ACC
or ON while the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed through the Vehicle Settings in the vehicle
information display by performing the following: ● Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
