LUGGAGE RACK (if so equipped)The cross-bars can be adjusted forward and
backward. Place your luggage between the
bars (A), adjust the bars (A), and secure the
luggage with rope to the bars (A). There are
also adjustable loops on the side bars for the
rope attachment.
Always evenly distribute the luggage on the
luggage rack.Do not load more than 100 lb
(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 ComplianceCertification Label (located on the driver's door
pillar). For more information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to ª10. Technical and cus-
tomer informationº.
Use care when placing or removing
items from the luggage rack. If you can-
not comfortably lift the items onto the

The key can only be inserted fully in the
ignition key cylinder. For the door, back door
and glove box key cylinders, it is normal for the
key not to go into the key cylinder all the way.
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 num-
bers so it is very important to keep track of
your key number plate. A key number is only
necessary when you have lost all 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 a lock smith shop.
IAlways 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.
IBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
IDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEYTo lock the door, turn the key towards the front
of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it towards the
rear.
