Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The new set speed limit valuej9 will be displayed
in the combination meter display.
Cancelling a speed limit
To cancel a set speed limit, push the CANCEL
switchj3 . The SET indicatorj8 in the combination
meter will be turned off. The set speed valuej9 will
remain displayed.
It is also possible to override the speed limiter by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the
resistance point.
WARNING
The vehicle may accelerate when the speed
limiter cancels.
When additional floor mats are used, be sure
that they are correctly secured and that they
cannot interfere with the accelerator pedal.
Mats not adapted to the vehicle may prevent
proper operation of the speed limiter.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal beyond the re-
sistance point. The speed limiter will be suspended
to allow driving above the set speed. The set speed
value
j9 will flash. The speed limiter will automati-
cally resume when the vehicle speed drops below
the set speed limit.
Resuming a previous set speed
If a set speed limit has been cancelled, the set speed
valuej9 will remain displayed in the combination
meter and the speed will be stored in the speed lim-
iter memory. This speed limit can be reactivated by pressing the
RES (Resume) switch
j1 upwards.
If the current vehicle speed is higher than the previ-
ous set speed, the accelerator pedal will not work
and the set speed value
j9 will flash until the vehicle
speed drops below the set speed limit.
Turning the speed limiter off
The speed limiter system will be turned off when
one of the following operations is performed:
Push the speed limiter main “ON/OFF” switchj4 . The speed limiter symbolj7 , the LIMIT indi-
catorj6 , the SET indicatorj8 , and the set
speed valuej9 will turn off in the combination
meter display.
Push the cruise control main “ON/OFF” switchj5 . The speed limiter information in the combi-
nation meter will be replaced with the cruise con-
trol information. For details see “Cruise control
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.
When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is
turned to the off position.
Turning off the speed limiter will erase the set
speed limit memory.
Speed limiter malfunction
If the speed limiter malfunctions, the set indicatorj8 in the combination meter display will flash.
Turn the speed limiter off by pushing the speed lim-
iter main “ON/OFF” switch
j4 and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING
Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials, such as dry grass, waste paper, or rags.
They may ignite and cause a fire.
Safe parking procedures require that:
– The handbrake is applied.
– The gear lever is placed in an appropriate gear for manual transmission models.
– The selector lever is placed in the P (Park) position for automatic transmission or con-
tinuously variable transmission models.
Failure to follow the above recommenda-
tions could cause the vehicle to move un-
expectedly or roll away and result in an
accident.
Never leave the engine running while the ve-
hicle is unattended.
Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or possi-
bly fatal injuries to people or animals.
Manual transmission models:
Depress the clutch pedal and place the gear
lever in the R (Reverse) position. When parking
on an uphill gradient, place the gear lever in the
1st (Low gear) position.
