2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all thewindows, move the heater or air conditioner
temperature control to maximum hot and fan
control to high speed.
3. If engine overheating is caused by climbing a long hill on a hot day, run the engine at a
fast idle (approximately 1,500 rpm) until the
temperature gauge indication returns to
normal.
4. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen for steam or coolant escaping from the radiator
before opening the hood. (If steam or
coolant is escaping, turn off the engine.)
Do not open the hood further until no steam
or coolant can be seen.
5. Open the engine hood.

This means the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner systems need servicing:
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on approximately 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner systems may
not operate properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
NISSAN dealer.

sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure
to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly
for the most effective protection by the seat belt
and supplemental air bag.
The occupant classification sensor is designed
to operate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child
restraints. Failing to properly secure child
restrains and to use the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This can
also result in the passenger air bag inflating in a
crash instead of being OFF. (See “Child
restraints” (P.1-18) for proper use and installa-
tion.)
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
passenger air bag is designed not to inflate in a
crash. However, heavy objects placed on the
seat could result in air bag inflation, because of
the object being detected by the occupant
classification sensor. Other conditions could
also result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can
monitor when the front passenger air bag is
automatically turned OFF with the seat occu-pied. The light will not illuminate when the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
(indicating that the air bag is OFF) , it could be
that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting
on the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the passenger air bag status light may or may
not be illuminated, depending on the size of the
child and the type of child restraint being used. If
the passenger air bag status light is not
illuminated (indicating that the air bag might
inflate in a crash), it could be that the child
restraint or seat belt is not being used properly.
Make sure that the child restraint is installed
properly, the seat belt is used properly and the
occupant is positioned properly. If the passen-
ger air bag status light is still not illuminated, try
a different child restraint.
If the passenger air bag status light will not
illuminate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, the system may be sensing
an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF). Your NISSAN dealer can check that the
system is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, do not transporta child in this vehicle.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
passenger air bag status light will take a few
seconds to register a change in the passenger
seat status. However, if the seat becomes
unoccupied, the air bag status light will remain
off.

bag system, the supplemental air bag warning

— Do not pull or drop the cable.
— Do not hit or press the USB portor USB device with hands, feet,
or objects.
— Do not store objects with sharp edges in the storage area where
the cable is stored.
— Do not leave the USB device and attached devices in the vehicle
compartment. When not in use
for extended periods of time,
store the cable and USB device
in a clean, dust free environment
at room temperature and with-
out direct sun exposure.
— Do not use the cable for any other purposes than its intended
use in the vehicle.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB device.
USB devices should be purchased separately
as necessary.
This system cannot be used to format USB
devices. To format a USB device, use a personal
computer.
In some states/area, the USB device for the
front seats plays only sound without images for regulatory reasons, even when the vehicle is
parked.
This system supports various USB memory
devices, USB hard drives and iPod players.
Some USB devices may not be supported by
this system.
.
Partitioned USB devices may not be played
correctly.
. Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not displayed
properly on display. Using English language
characters with a USB device is recom-
mended.
General notes for USB use:
. The USB device may not function when the
passenger compartment temperature is ex-
tremely high. Lower the temperature before
use.
. During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to humidity. If this
occurs, remove the USB device and dehu-
midify or ventilate the USB player comple-
tely.
. Do not connect a USB device if a connector,
cable or USB port is wet. Allow the
connector, cable, and USB port to dry
completely before connecting the USB
device. (Wait for 24 hours or more until it
is dry.) If the connector and USB port are exposed to fluids other than water, evapora-
tive residue may cause a short circuit
between the connector pins and USB port.
In this case, replace the cable and USB port.
Otherwise damage to the USB device and a
loss of function may occur.
. If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination such as
liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the connectors) , do
not use the cable. Replace the cable with a
new one.
. Do not put a USB device in a location where
static electricity occurs, electrical noise is
generated or hot air from the air conditioner
blows directly on it. Doing so may cause the
data stored on the USB device to be
corrupted.
Notes for iPod use:
iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in
the U.S. and other countries.
. Improperly plugging in the iPod may cause a
checkmark to be displayed on and off
(flickering) . Always make sure that the iPod
is connected properly.
. An iPod nano (1st Generation) may remain
in fast forward or rewind mode if it is
connected during a seek operation. In this
case, please manually reset the iPod.
