cDo not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are fill-
ing it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
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 illumi-
nate. If the
lamp illuminates be-
cause 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 the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.

3. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and
outside mirrors to the desired positions by
manually operating each adjusting switch.
For additional information, see “Seats” in the
“Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemen-
tal air bags” section and “Steering wheel”
and “Outside mirrors” earlier in this section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to
any positions other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds,
push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at
least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the se-
lected positions are stored in the selected
memory (1 or 2) .
If memory is stored in the same memory switch,
the previous memory will be deleted.
Linking a keyfob to a stored memory
position
A keyfob can be linked to a stored memory posi-
tion with the following procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memory posi-
tion.2. While the indicator light for the memory
switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, press the
button on the keyfob.
The indicator light will blink. After the indica-
tor light goes off, the keyfob is linked to that
memory setting.
With the key removed from the ignition switch,
press the
button on the keyfob. The driv-
er’s seat and outside mirrors will move to the
memorized position.
Confirming memory storage
cTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
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 sec-
onds.
cIf 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 than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.

ver to the P (Park) position.

3. Push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at
least 1 second.
The driver’s seat, steering column and out-
side mirrors will move to the memorized po-
sition with the indicator light flashing, and
then the light will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (for
automatic transmission model)
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the automatic 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.
(This feature is not available on manual transmis-
sion model.)
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up:
cWhen the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
cWhen the driver’s door is opened with the
