FUEL-FILLER CAPThe fuel-filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the
cap counterclockwise

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until ratchet-
ing clicks are heard.
Put the fuel-filler cap on the cap holder

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable andhighly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refu-
eling.

Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap a third of a turn, and wait for any
“hissing sound” to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possibly
causing personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and
possibly a fire.

Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the
malfunc-
tion indicator lamp to come on.

Do 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
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION

If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.

Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
lamp illuminates
because 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 doesnot turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.

For additional information, see the
“Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion.

The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:

Entry/exit function

Memory storageENTRY/EXIT FUNCTIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and outside mirror will automatically move when
the selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the
driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward:
The driver’s seat will slide backward when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch
(knob) in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous
position:

When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch after closing the driver’s door, or when
the driver’s door is closed after inserting the
key into the ignition switch.

When the ignition switch is pushed with the
driver’s door closed. (Intelligent Key
equipped model)

When the key or ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.The entry/exit feature can be canceled. See “4.
Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio
systems” section of this manual.
The entry/exit function can be activated or can-
celled by pressing and holding the SET switch
for more than 10 seconds while the ignition key
is in the LOCK position. The indicator light will
blink once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when the
function is activated. If the battery cable is
disconnected, or if the fuse opens, the entry/exit
function will be cancelled. In such a case, after
connecting the battery or replacing with a new
fuse, open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key or ignition switch
in the LOCK position to activate the entry/exit
function.
MEMORY STORAGETwo positions for the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake
and Accelerator) and outside mirrors can be
stored in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Set the selector lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake and
Accelerator) and outside mirrors to the de-
sired positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional information,
see “Seats” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system”
