SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHTThe supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
supplemental side air bag and curtain side-
impact and rollover air bag systems, and pre-
tensioner seat belt systems. The circuits moni-
tored by the supplemental air bag warning light
are the diagnosis sensor unit, satellite sensors,
crash zone sensors, rollover sensors, front air
bag modules, side air bag modules, curtain
side-impact/rollover air bag modules, and pre-
tensioner seat belts and all related wiring.After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds
if the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental side air
bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag
systems, and pre-tensioner seat belt systems
need servicing:
The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bags, supplemental side air bags, curtain
side-impact/rollover air bags and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt may not operate properly. It
must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle
to a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warninglight is on, it could mean that the
supplemental front air bag, supplemen-
tal side air bag, curtain side-impact/
rollover air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt systems will not op-
erate in an accident. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
Repair and replacement procedureThe supplemental front air bags, supplemental
side air bags, curtain side-impact/rollover air
bags and pre-tensioner seat belt are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after inflation
has occurred. Repair and replacement of these
systems should be done only by a NISSAN
dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side air
bags, curtain side-impact/rollover air bags, re-
lated parts and pre-tensioner seat belt should be
pointed out to the person conducting the main-
tenance. The ignition switch should always be in
the LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGEThe gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range
A
when the gauge needle points
within the zone shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature will vary with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If the gauge is
over the normal range, stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible. If the engine
is overheated, continued operation of
the vehicle may seriously damage the
engine. See “If your vehicle overheats”
in the “In case of emergency” section
for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGEThe gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in
the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hill.
The gauge needle is designed to move to the E
(Empty) position when the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position.

are properly inflated, have the TPMS
system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, tire pressure will
not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash. Contact your
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible
for tire replacement and/or system
resetting.
Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
CAUTION
The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the 4 wheels correctly.
