Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
The seat may move suddenly and could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely
secured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop. When
operating the seatback release always rock
the seatback afterward to check that it is
locked.
When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-
down position. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked with the rear seat-
back securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children from having access to the
vehicle’s keys.FRONT SEATS

For models which incorporate the Stop/Start
System:
Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the

mance. Avoid using any other battery for the
Stop/Start System, as this may cause early
deterioration of the battery or a malfunction
of the Stop/Start System. It is recommended
that a Genuine NISSAN battery is fitted. For
more information, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop
If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/
Start System reactivates.

hicle, NISSAN recommends that you have a service
operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the
service operator carefully read the following precau-
tions.
WARNING
Do not allow any occupants in the vehicle that
is being towed.
Never get under your vehicle after it has been
lifted by a tow truck.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS
When towing:
Make sure that the transmission,
axles, steering system and power train are in
working condition. If any unit is damaged, the
vehicle must be towed using a dolly or be placed
on a flat bed lorry.
Release the handbrake and shift the manual
transmission (MT), automatic transmission (AT)
or continuously variable transmission (CVT) into
the N (Neutral) position before starting to tow
the vehicle.
Always attach safety chains before towing.
