Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL)
If this indicator lamp comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator lamp may also
come on steady if the fuel filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least three gallons of fuel in
the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
lamp
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on
in one of two ways:
cMalfunction indicator lamp on steady - An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel filler cap. If
the fuel filler cap is loose or missing,tighten or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
lamp should
turn off after a few driving trips. If the
lamp does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized NISSAN dealer. You do
not need to have your vehicle towed to
the dealer.
cMalfunction indicator lamp blinking - An
engine misfire has been detected which
may damage the emission control sys-
tem. To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
a) do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
b)
avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.c) avoid steep uphill grades.
d) if possible, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator lamp may stop
blinking and come on steady. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your ve-
hicle towed to the dealer.

could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime

opened while the key is left in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.

vated. Refer to the ``Autolamp Switch'' in-
structions later in this section.

the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the warning sound is heard.

pounds (45 kg). Be careful that your vehicle
does not exceed the Gross Vehicle 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''.
The front and rear cross-bars can be adjustedforward and backward. Place your luggage
between the bars, adjust the bars, and secure
the luggage with rope to the bars. Always
check the tightness of the adjusting knobs.
There are also adjustable loops on the side
bars for the rope attachment.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing
items from the luggage rack. If you
cannot comfortably lift the items onto
the luggage rack from the ground, use
a ladder or stool.

A key number plate is supplied with your
key. Record the key number and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN
THE CAR. 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. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an authorized
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.
WARNING
c
Always 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 unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
CAUTION
cAlways use the door handle to open
or close a sliding door. Do not at-
tempt to open or close the doors by
merely placing your hand on the
door edge or door slide roller, as this
may cause injury.
