Installation on front passenger’s seat
WARNING
•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
•Never install a child restraint with a top tether
strap on the front seat.
•NISSAN recommends that a child restraint be
installed on the rear seat. However, if you
must install a child restraint on the front pas-
senger’s seat, move the passenger’s seat to
the rearmost position.
•Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used on the front passenger’s seat
when the front passenger’s air bag has not
been deactivated.
Front-facing:
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
the proper use of your child restraint. Follow these
steps to install a front-facing child restraint on the
front passenger’s seat using a 3-point type seat belt
without automatic locking mode:
1. Turn off the front passenger air bag using the
front passenger air bag switch. (See “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” later in this sec-
tion.) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
and make sure that the front air bag status light
illuminates.

if it is held securely in place.
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driv-
er’s and passenger’s supplemental front impact air
bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags,
and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest area of the driver and/or front
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on
the front where the vehicle is impacted.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
(where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest and pelvis areas of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions. The front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag is
designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.

Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
light warns of a low brake fluid level. If this warning
light illuminates, the Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light and the brake system warning
light (yellow) also illuminate. If the light illuminates
while the ignition switch is in the ON position with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and
perform the following steps:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is
low, add fluid and have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Brake and clutch fluid” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warn-
ing system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge the brake system to
be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
•If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked at a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
For further parking brake operation information see
“Parking brake switch” in the “8. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments” section.

WARNING
•If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the steer-
ing will not work. Steering will be harder to
operate.
•When the power steering warning light illumi-
nates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering. You will still
have control of the vehicle but the steering
will be harder to operate. Have the power
steering system checked by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the power steering warning light illuminates.
After starting the engine, the power steering warn-
ing light turns off. This indicates that the electric
power steering system is operational.
If the power steering warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, it may indicate the power
steering system is not functioning properly and mayneed servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. See “Electric power steering system” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
Seat belt (driver and front

your seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START posi-
tion and remains illuminated until the driver’s and/or
front passenger’s seat belt is fastened. At the same
time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds unless
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt is
securely fastened see “Seat belt reminder chime”
later in this section. The seat belt warning light may
also illuminate if the front passenger’s seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is oc-
cupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, the system does not acti-
vate the warning light for the front passenger. See
