warning light
When the ignition key is in the ON or START
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and

function properly. For additional details, see
``Supplemental restraint system'' in the ``Pre-
driving checks and adjustments'' section.

ervoir fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid
as necessary. See the ``Do-it-yourself op-
erations'' section.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
The light comes on when the parking brake
is applied, and also warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake not
applied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. See ``Brake fluid'' in
the ``Do-it-yourself operations'' section.

when you leave the vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, it makes a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion whether
or not the brake pedal is depressed. Have
the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the warning sound is heard.
Malfunction indicator lamp
(emission system)
If this light comes on or blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate a po-
tential emission control problem. Al-
though the vehicle is still driveable, see
your NISSAN dealer for service as soon
as possible. Continued operation with-
out having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system which may
affect your warranty coverage.The theft warning system provides audio
and visual alarm signals if parts of the
vehicle are disturbed.

WARNING
cWhile the vehicle is in motion, pas-
sengers should always be seated in
a forward facing direction in a seat
which is properly secured and ad-
justed. Seat belts should always be
used. Sitting without a seat belt in a
seat that is not properly secured in
one of the locations shown in this
chapter, or in a place without a seat
and seat belt can result in personal
injury in a sudden stop or collision.
cDo not place hard items such as
coffee mugs or drinking glasses on
the tabletop seats when the vehicle
is moving. Any item can become a
projectile inside a vehicle involved in
a collision. To help prevent personal
injury, never leave loose items on
the fold-down tabletop seats when
the vehicle is moving.
cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
cBe sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt prop-
erly.

are most effective when the passenger
sits well back and straight up in the
seat. If the seat is reclined, the risk of
sliding under the lap belt and being
injured is increased.
