luggage rack. Do not load more than 100
pounds (45 kg). Be careful that your vehicle
does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR
and GAWR are located on the Safety Com-
pliance Certification Label (located on the
driver's door pillar). For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to
``Technical and Consumer Information''.

hand edge of the lid and pull.
The fuel filler cap is a screw-on ratcheting
type. Tighten the cap clockwise until ratch-
eting clicks are heard. Ensure the plastic

WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. You could be burned or se-
riously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
cFuel may be under pressure. Turn
the cap one-half turn, and wait for
any ``hissing'' sound to stop to pre-
vent fuel from spraying out and pos-
sible personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
cUse only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler
cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper op-
eration of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect
cap can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury.
CAUTION
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Many different arrangements for passenger
seating or cargo hauling are available as
you will see in the following illustrations. The
second row seats may be removed and the
third row seat may be moved forward to the
second row seating position. The second
and third row seats have an optional fold-
down table-top feature. This offers a variety
of uses for the vehicle when moving or
stopped.
The illustrations shown reflect the different
seating positions available.
Before you begin to arrange the seats in
your vehicle, read all of the cautions and
warnings in this chapter, including the
following section on the removable floor

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 ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will
not be against your body. In an acci-
dent, you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
cFor the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back in the seat and adjust the
seat belt properly.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
properly.
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.
