2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER seat adjustment

IIf the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child re-
straint and check the various adjustments
to be sure the child restraint is compatible
with your child. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING
IImproper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.
IFollow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child
restraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
IIf the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
IAdjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the child restraint, but as
upright as possible.
IAfter attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again.
IFor a front facing child restraint, if the
seat position where it is installed has
a three-point type lap/shoulder belt,
check to make sure the shoulder belt
does not go in front of the child's face
or neck. If it does, put the shoulder
belt behind the child restraint. If you
must install a front facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see later in
ªChild restraintsº for installation on
front passenger seat.IWhen your child restraint is not in
use, store it in the trunk or keep it
secured with a seat belt to prevent it
from being thrown around in case of
a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.

center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat as

restraint and the size of the child. Always
follow the restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for belt routing.3. Remove all slack in the lap belt for a very
tight fit by pulling forcefully on the lap belt
adjustment.

You can only drive your vehicle using the
master keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in
your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The keys can be used for the door, back door
or glove box locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key
number 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.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.
WARNING
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.

AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATIONThis system is designed so that the driver's
seat will automatically move when the auto-
matic transmission selector lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to get
into and out of the driver's seat more easily.

the driver's seat will slide backward:
IWhen the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
IWhen the driver's door is opened with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
IWhen the key is turned from ON to LOCK
with the driver's door open.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will return to the positions
before being set.
IWhen the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
IWhen the driver's door is closed with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
IWhen the key is turned to ON.Procedure for storing memoryTwo positions can be stored in the automaticdrive positioner memory.Follow these proce-
dures to use the memory system.
1. Set the automatic transmission selector le-
ver to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Adjust the driver's seat and steering column
to the desired positions by manually oper-
ating each adjusting switch. For additional

temsº section and ªSteering wheelº earlier
in this section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to

switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indica-
tor light will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
IIf the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the memory will be canceled. In
such a case, reset the desired positions
using the following procedures.
1. Open and close the driver's door more thantwo times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.

ous procedure.

ver to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Push the memory switch 1 or 2 fully for at
least 1 second.
The driver's seat will move to the memo-
rized position with the indicator light flash-
ing, and then the light will stay on for
approximately 5 seconds.

the driver's door open and then the key in-
serted into the ignition switch within approxi-
mately 1 minute, the driver's seat will move to
the memorized position.System operationThe automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
Iwhen the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h).Iwhen any two or more of the memory
switches are simultaneously pressed while
