•The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
•The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
•The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this manual,
child safety information is available from many other
sources, including doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community organisations.
Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best
way to transport your child.
There are two basic types of child restraint system:
•Rear-facing child restraints
•Front-facing child restraints
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than
9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
Front-facing child restraints are available for chil-
dren who outgrow rear-facing child restraints and
are at least 1 year old.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protection. The
vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly.
The shoulder belt may come too close to the
face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their
small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fit-
ting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.
Always use appropriate child restraints.
A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by
using either the ISOFIX child restraint system or
with the vehicle seat belt, see “Child restraints” later
in this section for more information.NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and chil-
dren be restrained in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
This is especially important because your vehicle
has a supplemental restraint system (air bag sys-
tem) for the front passenger. (See “Supplemen-
tal Restraint System (SRS)” later in this section.)
INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed in
a rear-facing child restraint. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and
use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at least
9 kg can be placed in a front-facing child restraint.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for mini-
mum and maximum weight and height recommen-
dations. You should choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-
tem should be seated and restrained by the seat
belts that are provided. If the child’s seating position
has a shoulder belt that fits close to the face or
neck, the use of a booster seat (commercially avail-
able) may help overcome this. The booster seat
should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is

Side and curtain air bags (where fitted):
WARNING
•The front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact supplemental air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a front impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower severity side
collision. Always wear the seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in acci-
dents.
•The seat belts, the front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact supplemental
air bags are most effective when you are sit-
ting well back and upright in the seat. The
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-im-
pact supplemental air bags inflate with great
force. If you and your passengers are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or
out of position in any way, you and your pas-
sengers are at greater risk of injury or death in
an accident.
•Do not allow anyone to place their hands, legs,
or face near the front seat-mounted side-im-
pact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air bags on
the sides of the seatback of the front seats or
near the side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear outer seats to
extend their hands out of the windows or lean
against the doors.
•When sitting in the rear seats, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seats. If the
front seat-mounted side impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-im-
pact supplemental air bags inflate, you may
be seriously injured. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be properly re-
strained.
•Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks.
They may interfere with the front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag in-
flations.
NOTE
For an overview see “Seat belts and supplemen-
tal restraint system” in the “0. Illustrated table of
contents” section.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions.
Working with the seat belt retractor and anchor, it
helps tighten the seat belt the instant the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types of collisions, help-
ing to restrain front seat occupants. See “Pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system” earlier in this section.

WARNING LIGHTS
Also see “Vehicle information display” later in this
section.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance (see “Brake
system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section).
BRAKE warning light (red)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the light remains illuminated for a few seconds.
If the light illuminates at any other time, it may indi-
cate that the brake system is not functioning prop-
erly. If the BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the
vehicle immediately and contact a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
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.
Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.
If the charge warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, it may indicate that
the charging system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
When the charge warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, the charg-
ing system needs repair (see “Drive belts” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section).
If the alternator belt appears to be functioning cor-
rectly but the charge warning light remains illumi-
nated, have the charging system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.

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.
Power steering warning light
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
passenger) warning light
The seat belt warning light reminds you to fasten
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
“Seat belts” in the “1. Safety — Seats, Seat belts
and Supplemental Restraint System” section for
precautions on seat belt usage.

Door lock indicator light
(where fitted)
The door lock indicator light located on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when all the doors are locked
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
•When the doors are locked with the power door
lock switch, the door lock indicator light will illu-
minate for 30 minutes.
•When the doors are locked by pushing the
LOCK button on the Intelligent Key or any re-
quest switch (where fitted), the door lock indica-
tor light will illuminate for 1 minute.
•The door lock indicator light turns off when any
door is unlocked.
For locking or unlocking doors, see “Door locks” in
the “3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments” sec-
tion.
Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) OFF indicator light
(where fitted)
The light comes on when the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates that the ESP system is not
operating.
This light also comes on briefly when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. The light will
turn off after approximately 1 second if the ESP sys-
tem is operational.
When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-tor light (see “SLIP indicator light (where fitted)”
later in this section) come on with the ESP system
turned on, it alerts the driver to the fact that the sys-
tem’s fail-safe mode is operating. This means that
the system may not be functioning properly. Have
the system checked by your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
Front fog light indicator light
The light comes on when the front fog lights are
switched on (see “Fog light switch” later in this sec-
tion).
Glow plug indicator light (Diesel
engines)
This light comes on when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and goes out when the glow plugs have
been pre-heated. When the engine is cold, the glow
plug warm-up time will be longer.
High beam assist indicator light
(where fitted)
The indicator light illuminates when the headlights
come on while the headlight switch is in the AUTO
position with the high beam selected. This indicates
that the high beam assist system is operational. (See
2-36.)
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high beam
is on and goes out when the low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator light
(orange)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the orange Malfunction Indicator light illumi-
nates. This means that the system is operational.
If the orange Malfunction Indicator light comes on
steady or blinks (where fitted) while the engine is
running, it may indicate an engine control system
malfunction.
See “Malfunction warning light (red) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section for details of the red malfunc-
tion warning light (where fitted).
On steady (orange):
An engine malfunction has been detected. Have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
Blinking (orange) (where fitted):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system dam-
age:
•Do not drive at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
•Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
