a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
•Do not put objects heavier than 50 kg (110

applications.
•The smooth surface should be used only when
loading wet objects.
•The load should be distributed evenly and
should not exceed 50 kg (110 lb) on any of the
boards/panels.
•To avoid any damage, the panels/boards
should be placed in the lower positionjB for
heavy loads and securely held with ropes or
straps to prevent any load shift.

each board into the upper position
jA.
1) Remove the larger floorboard as illustrated by
lifting and sliding it into the upper position

The auto-reverse function enables a window to au-
tomatically reverse when something is caught in the
window as it is closing by the automatic function.
When the control unit detects an obstacle, the win-
dow will be lowered immediately.Depending on the environment or driving conditions,
the auto-reverse function may activate if an impact
or load similar to something being caught in the win-
dow occurs.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
Some power window functions (automatic close
function, auto-reverse function) will not operate as
described after the battery cable is disconnected or
the electrical supply is interrupted. Perform the fol-
lowing procedure to initialise the power window
functions.
1. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
2. If the driver’s window is closed, open it com-
pletely by operating the driver’s window switch.
3. Pull up and hold the driver’s window switch to
close the driver’s window. Hold the switch for
approximately 5 seconds after the window has
been fully closed, and then release it.
4. Check if the power window functions operate
properly.
If you open or close the power window continu-
ously, it may cause the power window not to oper-
ate properly. Perform the above procedure.
If the power window functions do not operate prop-
erly after performing the above procedure, repeat
the steps. See a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop, if necessary, for checking the power window
