SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position,
it is not possible to properly fit the front seat
lap belts and fasten them, an extender is
available which is compatible with the in-
stalled seat belts. The extender adds ap-
proximately 8 inches (200 mm) of length
and may be used for either the driver or front
passenger seating position. See an autho-

AUTOLAMP SWITCH
(if so equipped)
The autolamp system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolamp system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
turn off the headlights when it is light, and
keep the headlights on for up to three
minutes after you turn the key to OFF.
To set the autolamp system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
AUTO1 or AUTO2 position.2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. The autolamp system automatically turns
the headlights on and off.
Shut-off delay
The length of time the headlights stay on
after the ignition is turned to OFF depends
on whether the switch is in the AUTO1 or
AUTO2 position. If the switch is in the
AUTO1 position, then the headlights stay on
for less than 1 minute after the ignition is
turned OFF. If the switch is in the AUTO2
position, the headlights stay on approxi-
mately 3 minutes after the ignition is turned
OFF.
To turn the autolamp system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition.Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the photo sensor located in the top left
side of the instrument panel. The photo
sensor controls the autolamp; if it is
covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it
is dark out and the headlights will illumi-
nate.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
Cassette player
cTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use
cassette tapes of 60 minutes or
shorter in length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use.
Store cassettes in their protective
cases and away from direct sunlight,
heat, dust, moisture or magnetic
sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cas-
sette to become deformed. The use of
deformed cassettes may cause the
cassette to jam in the player.
cDo not use cassettes that have peel-
ing or loose labels. If used, the label
could jam in the player.
cIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette
hubs and rewind the tape firmly.Loose tape may cause jamming and
wavering sound quality.
cOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the
tape passes over the head. This resi-
due accumulation can cause a weak
or wavering sound and should be
removed periodically with a head
cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be dis-
assembled for cleaning.
Compact Disc (CD) Player
cOnly use high quality 4.7 inches (12
cm) round discs that have the ``COM-
PACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO'' logo on
the disc or packaging.

WARNING
Do not leave children, impaired adults,
or pets alone in your vehicle. They
could accidently injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal injuries
to people or animals.
EXHAUST GAS
(Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
cIf you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
cDo not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.c
Do not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.
cKeep the rear door and rear window
closed while driving, otherwise ex-
haust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door or rear win-
dow open, follow these procedures:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the air flow control dial to the
position and turn the fan
control dial to 4 (high) to circulate
the air.
cIf electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the back door or
body, follow the trailer manufactur-
er's recommendation to prevent car-
bon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
cThe exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.
d.
You have had an accident involv-
ing damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are
burned at high temperatures to help reduce
pollutants.
WARNING
cThe exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
cDo not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly
causing vehicle sway. When being
passed by larger vehicles, be prepared
for possible changes in crosswinds that
could affect vehicle handling. If swaying
does occur, firmly grip the steering
wheel, steer straight ahead, and immedi-
ately (but gradually) reduce vehicle
speed. This combination helps to stabi-
lize the vehicle. Never increase speed.
cBe careful when passing other vehicles.
Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than normal
passing. Remember the length of the
trailer must also pass the other vehicle
before you can safely change lanes.
cTo maintain engine braking efficiency
and electrical charging performance, do
not use overdrive.
cAvoid holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
When towing a trailer, change fluid in the
transmission more frequently. For addi-
tional information see the ``Mainte-
nance'' section earlier in this manual.Department of Transportation (DOT) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
Treadwear
Treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on tire wear rate when tested under
controlled conditions on specified govern-
ment test courses. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1-1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. However,
relative tire performance depends on actual
driving conditions, and may vary signifi-
cantly, due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B and C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire's ability to stop on wet pave-ment as measured under controlled condi-
tions, on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to your ve-
hicle tires is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not in-
clude acceleration, cornering, hydro-
planing, or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature A, B and C
Temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C. They represent a tire's resistance to
heat build-up, and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high temperature can
cause tire material to degenerate, reducing
tire life. Excessive temperatures can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grade C corresponds to
a performance level which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades A
and B represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on laboratory test wheels than the
minimum required by law.
