To turn on the map lights, press the
switches. To turn them off, press the
switches again.
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could
result in a discharged battery.The interior lights, the cargo light, the glove
box light, the stepwell lights near the sliding
doors and on the front doors, and the foot-
well lights near the driver's and front pas-
senger's feet illuminate when the front or
sliding doors are opened. Once the doors
are closed, these lights gradually dim to off
within 30 seconds or turn off immediately
when the key is turned to the ON position.
Battery saver
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and
the interior lights remain illuminated, they
eventually turn off automatically to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. If the
interior lights are left in the ON position, with
all doors closed, they will automatically turn
off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights
that illuminate when the front or sliding
doors are opened turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate
when the back door is opened turn off after
approximately 60 minutes. Vanity mirror
lights are not part of the battery saver
system.
If the personal reading lights are left on after
the key is removed from the ignition, they
will automatically turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes.The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
cThe Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver will operate garage doors,
gates, home/office lighting systems and
security systems by storing and transmit-
ting the programming information of your
current hand-held transmitters.
c
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver is built-in and powered by
your vehicle's battery and charging sys-
tem. No separate batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse the

WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. You could be burned or se-
riously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
c
Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap one-half turn, and wait for any
``hissing'' sound to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possibly
causing personal injury. Then re-
move the cap.
cDo not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, result-
ing in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
cUse only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. Anincorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.
cNever pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
cIf fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
cTighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
lamp illuminates
because 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 thelamp
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see the
``Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)''
in the ``Instrument and controls''
section earlier in this manual.

WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done

Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the engine coolant temperature gauge
exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.
