To open the fuel filler lid, grasp the right
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
tether doesn't get caught between the gas
cap and the fuel filler neck.
CAUTION
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. 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.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
mats. Also observe any labels that are in
the vehicle.

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.

FLOOR MAT POSITIONING PINS
Positioning pins are attached to three of the
floor mats. The cargo mat and front mats do
not have pins. However, the front floor mats
each have a grommet which is placed overthe floor mat positioning brackets located at
the base of the front seats.
Push the positioning pins into the seat
tracks to ensure correct installation, then
straighten the mats as necessary.
The step mat has holes in addition to pins.
When the mats are arranged properly, the
positioning pins of the two mats on either
side of the step mat should fit through the
holes in the step mat and into the seat track.
WARNING
cNo occupant should ride in a vehicle
seat unless it is in a normal riding
arrangement and the seat belts are
properly used.
cWhile driving, never allow anyone to
ride in the cargo area. It is not de-
signed for passengers. They could
be injured in sudden braking or
collision.
cTo prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything in the cargo
area higher than the seatbacks.cFailure to follow proper seating in-
structions in this section could re-
sult in serious personal injury in an
accident or during a sudden stop.

WITH SECOND ROW BENCH
SEAT
The most common seating arrangement for
seven passengers is with the three-
passenger bench seat in seating position
#1. This provides more leg room for the
passengers sitting in the third row.When more cargo area room is necessary,
the three-passenger sliding bench seat can
be moved to seating position #2. This seat-
ing arrangement provides less leg room for
third row passengers, but more cargo area
room.The fold-down tabletop seats in the second
and third rows provide a surface for eating
or playing games on long trips.

If a considerable amount of cargo area
room is needed, the seat cushion of the
three-passenger sliding bench seat can be
flipped up and the seat can be moved up to
storage position #2, just behind the second
row seat.When maximum cargo area is needed and
there are no rear seat passengers, the
second row seat can be removed and the
three-passenger sliding bench seat can be
moved up to storage position #1, just behind
the front seats.The second row bench seat can be folded
down to serve as a tabletop for passengers
sitting in the three-passenger bench seat.
