pliance Certification Label (located on the
driver's door pillar). For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to

items from the luggage rack. If you
cannot comfortably lift the items
onto the luggage rack from the
ground, use a ladder or stool.

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

down table-top feature. This offers a variety
of uses for the vehicle when moving or

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.

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.
