seat Belt Warning light and chi Me
 The light and chime remind you to fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the ignition key is turned to the ON or START position and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds for approximately 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.
 The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if the front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is occupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is in the ON position, the system does not activate the warning light for the front passenger.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding seat belt usage.
tire pressure Monitoring syste M (tpMs)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature causes lower tire pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will remain on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Front -passenger air Bag status light
This vehicle is equipped with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag system. Under some conditions, depending on the type of occupant or object detected in the front passenger seat by the occupant classification sensor, the front-passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF. When the front-passenger air bag is OFF, the front-passenger air bag status light will illuminate*. For example:
 When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is occupied by a small adult, child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the OFF or 2 will illuminate to indicate that the front-passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
 When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the conditions outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the OFF or 2 will not illuminate to indicate that the front-passenger air bag is operational.
*When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is unoccupied, the passenger air bag status light will not illuminate even though the front-passenger air bag is OFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System.
