Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (front
seats)
WARNING
Always adjust the head restraints properly as
specified in the previous section. Failure to do
so can reduce the effectiveness of the active
head restraint.
Active head restraints are designed to supple-
ment other safety systems. Always wear seat
belts. No system can prevent all injuries in an
accident.
Do not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks. Doing so could impair the active head
restraint’s function.
The head restraint moves forward utilising the force
that the seatback receives from the occupant in a
rear-end collision. The movement of the head re-
straint helps support the occupant’s head by reduc- ing its backward movement and by helping to ab-
sorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash
type injuries.
Active head restraints are effective for collisions at
low to medium speeds in which it is said that whip-
lash injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in certain rear-
end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints
return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as de-
scribed in the previous section.
WARNING
7–seater: Seat belts for 3rd row seats are not
part of the seat belt warning monitoring system.
SEAT BELT WARNINGS
jA Driver and front passenger
The seat belt warning lights, located in the instru-
ment paneljA , will light up if the driver and/or front
passenger seat belts have not been fastened. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section for further
details.
jB Rear passengers
The rear passenger seat belt warning is shown in
the vehicle information displayjB . See “Vehicle in-
formation display” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
The seat belt warning alerts the driver and/or front
passenger if a (rear) seat belt is not securely fas-

SEAT BELTS
1-6Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driver
and front passenger air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Front air bag system:this system can help cushion
the impact force to the face and chest of the driver
and front passenger in certain frontal collisions.
NOTE
For further information about the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation system see “Front pas-
senger air bag deactivation system” later in this
section.
Side air bag system: this system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The side air bag is designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Curtain air bag system: this system can help cush-
ion the impact force to the head of an occupant in
the front and rear outer seating position. Curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
SRS is designed to supplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passenger seat
belts and is not designed to substitute them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and the driver
and front passenger seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and front
door finishers. For additional information, see “Seat
belts” earlier in this section.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or START position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn off
after approximately 7 seconds if the system is
operational. See “Warning/indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section
for further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.
WARNING
Driver and front passenger air bags:
The air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a side impact, rear impact, roll over,
or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the air bags are most ef-
fective when you are sitting back and upright
in the seat. Air bags inflate with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash
and may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates.
WARNING
Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them on your lap or in your
arms. Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
Children may be severely injured or killed if
not properly restrained when the supplemen-
tal front air bags or supplemental side air bags
inflate. Preteens and children should be prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat if possible.

Instruments and controls2-3

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
If the 4WD warning light blinks in the follow-
ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:
– Blinks rapidly (about twice a second)Pull off the road at a safe place and idle
the engine. The driving mode will change
to 2WD to prevent the 4WD system from
malfunctioning. The vehicle can be driven
again as soon as the warning light turns
off.
– Blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds) Change the driving mode to 2WD and re-
duce the vehicle speed as soon as safely
possible.
If the warning light is still on after performing the
above operation, have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Water in fuel filter warning light
(where fitted)
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
do-it-yourself” section. CAUTION
Failure to drain the water from the fuel filter can
cause serious damage to the engine. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
possible.

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
workshop check and repair the transmission.

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

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
Detailed Information key will then recommend
going to a NISSAN dealer for the system to be
checked.

Washer operation
Pull the lever toward youj5 to operate the washer.
For every fifth operation of the wiper and washer,
the headlight washing system (where fitted) will be
activated to clean the headlights. The headlight
washing system is only activated while the headlight
switchisinthe

cleaner (where fitted)” later in this section.
Wiper drip wipe system (where fitted):
The wiper will also operate once about 3 seconds
after the washer and wiper are operated. This op-
eration is to wipe washer fluid that has dripped on
the windscreen.
Rain sensor (where fitted)
The rain sensor is activated when the AUTO posi-
tionj1 of the wiper switch is selected.
The wiper will start to operate automatically at a suit-
able speed when rain is detected on the windscreen.
The sensitivity of the rain sensing system can be
adjusted by rotating the ring of the wiper switch for-
ward
jA – less sensitive, or backwardjB – more
sensitive.
NOTE
The rain sensor is only intended for use during
rain or precipitation. During other weather condi-
tions no harm will come to the rain sensor sys-
tem if left active (wiper switch set to AUTO), al-
though occasional unexpected activation of the
wipers may occur.
