HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with
the head restraint removed. This can be dan-
gerous.
Head restraints should be adjusted properly
as they may provide significant protection
against injury in an accident. Check the height
after someone else uses the seat.
If the head restraints are removed for any rea-
son, they should be securely stored to pre-
vent them from causing injury to passengers
or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident.
7–seater: The head restraints of the 3rd row
should always be put into the highest position
when the seat is occupied.
Adjustment
1. Pull up the head restraint to raise to the proper position.
2. Push in the lock knob as illustrated to lower the head restraint to the proper position.
Adjust the head restraint so that the centre is level
with your ears.

ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:

If the warning light remains on or flashes irregularly
while the engine is running, there may be water in
the fuel filter. Should this happen, try to drain the
water from the fuel filter, see “Fuel filter (Diesel en-
gine models)” in the “8. Maintenance and

This light indicates both the “Automatic transmis-
sion oil temperature warning” and the “Fail-safe op-
eration”.

sion oil temperature is too high. If the light comes on
while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as soon as
safely possible until the light turns off.
Fail-safe operation:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the light
comes on for 2 seconds. If the light blinks, it may
indicate the automatic transmission is not function-
ing properly. Have your NISSAN dealer or qualified

transmission check warning light is on may dam-
age the automatic transmission.
Continuously Variable

your system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NOTE
A CVT ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM WARN-
ING display (centre console — where fitted) will
come on when a malfunction may have occurred
to the transmission control system. The selected

Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates that the ESP system is not
