2002 NISSAN QUEST warning light

9. Fasten the two halves of the chest clip
and confirm that the chest clip indicator is
green. Adjust the chest clip (slightly lower
than the child's shoulders) so it comfort-
ably holds the shoulder harness in positi-
ton on the child's shoulders.
WARNING
cShoulder harness tongues and chest
clips are equipped with visual indica-
tors to confirm proper and secure
latching. For the safety of the child
and occupants of the vehicle, all indi-cators must show green before oper-
ating the vehicle.
cIf the shoulder harness is unfas-
tened or not fastened properly, the
child could be seriously injured.
10. Grasp the right shoulder harness above
the chest clip and pull until the harness
fully extends and a click is heard. At this
time, the harness retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). With the child sitting properly
(straight up and back) in the integratedchild safety seat, allow the right shoul-
der harness to retract over the right
shoulder and securely restrain the child.
A clicking sound is heard as the har-
ness retracts, indicating that the retrac-
tor is in the automatic locking mode. Be
sure the left shoulder harness is also
properly positioned over the child's left
shoulder.
11. Check that the shoulder harness is in
the automatic locking mode by trying to
pull the shoulder harness out of the
retractor. If you cannot pull any of the
shoulder harness webbing out of the
retractor, the shoulder harness is in the
automatic locking mode. If the shoulder
harness is not locked, repeat step 10. If,
after repeated attempts, the integrated
child safety seat shoulder harness can-
not be placed in the automatic locking
mode, do not use the integrated child
safety seat and have it inspected by an
authorized NISSAN dealer.
To cancel the automatic locking mode, un-
buckle the chest clip and both shoulder
harness tongues. Allow the shoulder har-
nesses to retract completely. The automatic
locking mode is now canceled and the

mains on, see an authorized NISSAN
dealer immediately.

The light and chime remind you to fasten
your seat belts. If the driver's seat belt is
NOT securely fastened when the ignition
key is turned to ON or START, the chime
sounds for approximately 6 seconds and
the light illuminates.Refer to ``Seat belts'' in the ``Seats, re-
straints and supplemental air bag systems''
section of this manual for precautions on
seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag

When the ignition key is in the ON or START
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns off. This means the Air Bag Supple-
mental Restraint System is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental air bag and pre-tensioner
seat belt systems need servicing and your

NISSAN dealer:
cThe supplemental air bag warning light

light is on, it could mean that the
supplemental air bag will not operate in
an accident.

applied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following:
1.
Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. See ``Brake fluid'' in the
``Maintenance and do-it-yourself'' section
of this manual.

ing properly if the warning light is
on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could
be dangerous.
cPressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.cIf the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake-
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock brake warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.

anti-lock function turns off, but the brakes
continue to operate normally.
If the light comes on while you are driv-
ing, contact an authorized NISSAN
dealer for repair.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in
the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon
as it is convenient, preferably before the fuel
gauge reaches E (Empty).There will be a
small reserve of fuel in the tank when the
fuel gauge needle reaches E (Empty).
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Overdrive off indicator light
This light comes on during driving when the
overdrive switch is pressed to prevent over-
drive operation (4th gear).
The O/D OFF indicator light comes on for
two seconds each time the ignition key is
turned ON. This shows the light is function-
ing properly.
If the O/D OFF indicator light blinks for
approximately 8 seconds after coming on for
2 seconds, have an authorized NISSAN
dealer check the transmission and repair it if
necessary.
The automatic transmission is equipped
with an electronic Fail-Safe mode. This sys-
tem allows the vehicle to be driven even in
the event of damage to the electrical cir-
cuits. If this occurs, the transmission may
default to third gear in drive range.
NOTE: See ``Fail-safe'' in the ``Starting and
driving'' section of this manual before visit-
ing an authorized NISSAN dealer.

the warning sound is heard.
The vehicle security system provides audio
and visual alarm signals if parts of the
vehicle are disturbed.
