not activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
See “SEAT BELTS” in the “1. Safety — Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint system”
section for precautions on seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning light
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
will illuminate. The supplemental air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
supplemental front air bag and supplemental
side air bag, curtain side-impact air bag systems
and/or pretensioner seat belt are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain and rollover air bag
and pretensioner systems need servicing and
your vehicle must be taken to your nearest
NISSAN dealer.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
.The supplemental air bag warning light does
not illuminate at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental
Restraint Systems and/or the pretensioners maynot function properly.
For additional information, see “SUPPLEMEN-
TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM” in the “1. Safety —
Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system” section.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain and roll-
over air bag and/or pretensioner sys-
tems will not operate in an accident. To
help avoid injury to yourself or others,
have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.INDICATOR LIGHTS
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) LOCK
indicator light (AWD models)
This light illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1

This light illuminates while the vehicle speed is
controlled by the cruise control system. If the
light blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate the cruise control system is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL.If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
light on the meter panel will then blink to
warn the driver.
.If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will cancel automatically.
.If the SET indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
.The SET indicator light may blink when the
cruise control main switch is turned ON
while pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE,
SET/COAST or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the following procedures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when
driving under the following conditions:
.when it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed
.in heavy traffic or in traffic that
varies in speed
.on winding or hilly roads.on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
.in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.CRUISE CONTROL

4. MAIN (ON·OFF) switchCRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONSThe cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 89 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the MAIN
switch on. The CRUISE indicator light will
illuminate.
To set cruising speed,accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET/COASTswitch and release it. (The SET indicator light in
the instrument panel will illuminate.) Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
.To pass another vehicle,depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously
set speed.
.The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this happens,
drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed,use one of the
following methods:
a) Push the CANCEL switch. The SET indica-
tor light will turn off.
b) Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator light
will turn off.
c) Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the CRUISE
and SET indicator lights will turn off.
.If you depress the brake pedal while pushing
the RESUME/ACCELERATE or SET/
COAST switch and reset at the cruising
speed, the cruise control will disengage.
Turn the MAIN switch off once and then turn
it on again.
.The cruise control will automatically cancel if
the vehicle slows more than 8 MPH (12km/h) below the set speed.
.If you move the selector lever to the N
(Neutral) position, the cruise control will be
canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
.Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/COAST switch.
.Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELERATE
switch. When the vehicle attains the desired
speed, release the switch.
.Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
.Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/COAST switch and release it.
.Push and hold the SET/COAST switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
.Push, then quickly release the SET/COAST
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) .5-20

will lose even more traction.
.Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pave-
ment.
.Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.
.Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) .
These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a
patch of ice is seen ahead, brake
before reaching it. Try not to brake
while on the ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.
.Do not use cruise control on slip-
pery roads.
.Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe and
from around your vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)Engine block heatersare available through
NISSAN dealers to assist in cold temperature
starting. The engine block heater should be
used when the outside temperature is 208F
(78C) or lower.
To use the engine block heater1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the engine
block heater cord.
3. Plug the engine block heater cord into a
grounded 3-wire, 3-pronged extension cord.
4. Plug the extension cord into a Ground Fault
Interrupt (GFI) protected, grounded 110-
volt AC (VAC) outlet.
5. The engine block heater must be plugged in
for at least 2 - 4 hours, depending on
outside temperatures, to properly warm the
engine coolant. Use an appropriate timer to
turn the engine block heater on.
6. Before starting the engine, unplug and
properly store the cord to keep it away from
moving parts.
WARNING
.Do not use your engine block heater
with an ungrounded electrical sys-
tem or a 2-pronged adapter. You can
be seriously injured by an electrical
shock if you use an ungrounded
connection.
.Disconnect and properly store the
engine block heater cord beforestarting the engine. Damage to the
cord could result in an electrical
shock and can cause serious injury.
.Use a heavy-duty 3-wire, 3-pronged
extension cord rated for at least
10A. Plug the extension cord into a
Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) pro-
tected, grounded 110-VAC outlet.
Failure to use the proper extension
cord or a grounded outlet can result
in a fire or electrical shock and
cause serious personal injury.
