fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could
be dangerous.

engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
orABSAnti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate something wrong
with the anti-lock portion of the brake sys-
tem. Have the system checked by your
NISSAN dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function ceases, but the brakes
continue to operate normally.
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, contact your NISSAN dealer for re-
pair.
Overdrive off indicator light
This light comes on during driving when the
overdrive switch is pressed to prevent over-
drive operation.
The O/D OFF indicator light comes on for
two seconds each time the ignition key is
turned ON. This shows the light is function-
ing properly.
If the O/D OFF indicator light blinks for
approximately 8 seconds after coming on
for 2 seconds, have your NISSAN dealer
check the transmission and repair it if nec-
essary.
The automatic transmission is equipped
with an electronic Fail-Safe mode. This sys-
tem allows the vehicle to be driven even in
the event of damage to the electrical cir-
cuits. If this occurs, the gears automatically
engage and lock into 3rd gear.
NOTE: See the ``Fail-safe'' section in the
``Starting and driving'' section before visiting
your NISSAN dealer.

signal lever is activated.

turned on.

beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.

is controlled by the cruise control system. If

tem checked by your NISSAN dealer.

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

Record the key number on the key number
plate and keep it in a safe place (such as
your wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. A key
number plate is supplied with your key. Keep
the plate in a safe place. NISSAN does not
record key numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is necessary only when you
have lost all vehicle keys and do not have
one to duplicate from. If you still have a key,
this key can be duplicated by your NISSAN
dealer or locksmith shop.
Two keys are supplied with your vehicle Ð
one has a plastic head and one is all metal.
Both keys perform the same functions.

CAUTION
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cAlways use the door handle to open
or close the sliding door. Do not
attempt to open or close the door by
merely placing your hand on the
door edge or door slide roller, as this
may cause injury.
cWhen opening the sliding door on a
slope, ensure that it is fully open and
that it does not close by itself.
CHILD SAFETY SLIDING DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locking helps prevent doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
sliding door can be opened only from the
outside.

POWER DOOR LOCK

lock or unlock all doors simultaneously.
cTurning a door key to the front locks all
doors. This function can be operated
from the driver, passenger or sliding

cPushing a front door lock knob in locks all
doors. When locking the doors this way,
be certain not to leave the key inside the
vehicle. All doors automatically unlock
with the key in the ignition.
Selective unlock (If so equipped)
cTurning the door key one time to the rear
of the vehicle unlocks the corresponding
door. From that position, returning the
key to Neutral (where the key can only be
removed and inserted) and turning it to
the rear again within 5 seconds unlocks
all doors. This function can be operated
from the driver, passenger or sliding
door.
