turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF.
The ON/OFF switch should ONLY
be used
to turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF when the following government criteria
exists:
cInfants (less than 1 year old) in rear
facing child restraints MUST
be placed
in the front passenger seat.
cChildren ages 1-12 years MUST
be
placed in the front passenger seat.
c
The passenger has a medical condition
which, according to a physician, causes
the air bag to pose a special risk and
makes the potential harm from the air-
bag greater than the potential harm
from turning off the air bag.
Seat belts and child restraints should al-
ways be properly used. See ªPrecautions
on seat belt usageº and ªChild restraintsº
later in this section for details.
To turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF, insert the ignition key in the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch and
turn the switch clockwise to the OFF position.
Then remove the key. When the ignition is
turned to the ON or START position thepassenger air bag OFF indicator light will
illuminate to indicate the air bag is OFF. To
turn the passenger supplemental air bag ON,
insert the ignition key in the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch and
turn the switch counter clockwise to the ON
position. Then remove the key. When the
ignition is turned to the ON or START posi-
tion the passenger air bag OFF indicator light
will illuminate for 7 seconds to indicate the
system is working properly and then go out to
indicate that the passenger supplemental air
bag is ON.
1. Do not operate the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch when the
ignition is ON.
2. Fully turn the passenger supplemental
air bag ON/OFF switch to either the ON
or OFF position.
3. Always remove the ignition key after us-
ing the passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch.
4. The passenger air bag OFF indicator
light should illuminate for 7 seconds after
the ignition is turned to the ON or START
position. If not, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized NISSAN dealer.Items 2 and 3 above are intended to prevent
improper use of the ignition key.
When the switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the passenger supplemental air bag is
enabled and could inflate in a frontal colli-
sion. When the switch is turned to the OFF
position, the passenger supplemental air
bag is disabled and will not inflate in a
frontal collision. The passenger supplemen-
tal air bag OFF indicator light on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch is
turned to the OFF position. The driver's side
supplemental air bag always remains en-
abled and is not affected by the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch.
The passenger supplemental air bag light,
displaying OFF in the center of the instru-
ment panel, monitors the position of the
passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF
switch. When the ignition key is in the ON or
START position, the light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off if the air
bag ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, or
stays on if the passenger supplemental air
bag ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental air
bag system are placed in the vehicle as
shown in the illustration.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits of the supplemental air
bag and pre-tensioner seat belt systems.
The circuits monitored by the supplemental
air bag warning light are the diagnosis sen-
sor unit, the supplemental air bag modules,
pre-tensioner seat belts and all related wir-
ing.

The trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips. Before each trip reset the
trip odometer.Push the reset knob to change the display
as follows:

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the APPROXIMATE
fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to empty (E) after
the ignition key is turned OFF.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers E (Empty).
The
indicates that the fuel filler lid islocated on the passenger side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
cIf the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) may come on. Refuel as soon
as possible. After a few driving trips,
the
lamp should turn off. If the
lamp remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see the
(Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)(
later in this section.This unit has the following functions:
cMeasures terrestrial magnetism and in-
dicate heading direction of vehicle
cIndicates outside air temperature

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DIS-
PLAY
Push the MODE switch when the ignition
key is in the ACC or ON position. The
outside temperature will be displayed in ÉF.
cPush the MODE switch to change from
ÉF to ÉC.cWhen the outside temperature is be-
tween 130ÉF (55ÉC) and 158ÉF (70ÉC),
the display shows 130ÉF (55ÉC).
cWhen the outside temperature is
lower than -40ÉF (-40ÉC) or higher
than 158ÉF (70ÉC), the display shows
only___
though it is operating. This
is not a malfunction.
cThe outside temperature sensor is
located in front of the radiator. The
sensor may be affected by road or
engine heat, wind direction and other
driving conditions. The display may
differ from the actual outside tem-
perature or the temperature dis-
played on various signs or bill-
boards.
cTemperature display will not update
unless the vehicle is moving faster
than 12 mph (20 km/h), or the ignition
switch has been OFF for 4 hours.
COMPASS DISPLAY
Push the MODE switch when the ignition
key is in the ACC or ON position. The
direction will be displayed.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes
be great enough to cause false compass
readings. Follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location if
this happens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record your
zone number.
2. Push the MODE switch in for five sec-
onds until the current zone entry number
is displayed.
3. Press the MODE switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the MODE switch and the
display will show compass direction within a
few seconds.

cIf a magnet is located near the com-
pass or the vehicle is driven where the
terrestrial magnetism is disturbed, the
compass display may not indicate the
correct direction.
cIn places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is disturbed, the correction of the
direction starts automatically.
Correction functions of the compass
display
The compass display is equipped with au-
tomatic correction function. If the direction is
not shown correctly, carry out the manual
correction procedure set out below.
Manual correction procedure
1. Push the MODE switch for about 10
seconds. The ``CAL'' symbol will illumi-
nate.
2. Drive the vehicle slowly in an open and
safe area. The initial correction is com-
plete while turning in one or two turns.
In places where the earth's magnetism is
disturbed, the initial correction procedure
may start automatically.
