Children
Children who are too large for child restraints should
be seated and restrained by the seat belts that are
provided.
The use of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help to avoid the shoulder belt coming across
the face or neck area of a child’s seating position.
The booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,
middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low
on the hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle’s
seat. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the
vehicle is moving.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat
belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doc-
tor for specific recommendations.
SEAT BELT WARNINGS
Driver and front passenger
The seat belt warning lightsj1 , located in the in-
strument panel, will light up if the driver and/or front
passenger seat belts have not been fastened. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section for further
details.
Dependant on the vehicle specification the seat belt
warning lights, located in the instrument control
panel, will either:
•Alert only the driver when his/her seat belt is not
securely fastened.
•Alert the driver and/or front passenger when a
seat belt is not securely fastened.
Rear passengers
The rear passenger seat belt warning (where fitted)j1 is shown in the vehicle information display see
“Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section.
The seat belt warning alerts the driver and/or front
passenger if a (rear) seat belt is not securely fas-
tened. The seat belt warning shows a filled circle
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and an empty circle when the related seat belt has
been securely fastened, or after approximately 35
seconds after engine start, or when acknowledged
by the driver pushing the steering wheel switch
(where fitted).
NOTE
•If there is a change in rear seat belt status
during a journey then the applicable symbol
for any unbuckled seat will show again for a
further 35 seconds.
•The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not illuminate if the seat is unoccupied.
•A chime will sound unless the front passen-
ger seat belt is securely fastened when the
vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h (15 MPH).
The chime will stop after approximately 90
seconds.

1-10Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag system
(where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of the driver and passengers in front and
rear outer seating positions in certain side-impact
collisions. The roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag is designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and front passenger
seat belts and isnot designed to substitutethem.
Seat belts should always be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front door finishers. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seat belts” earlier in this section.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON or
START position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn off
after approximately 7 seconds if the system is
operational. See “Warning/indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” sectionfor further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.Driver and front passenger air bags:
WARNING
•The supplemental front-impact air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
accidents.
•The seat belts and the supplemental front-im-
pact air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
front-impact air bags inflate with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-
ting sideways, or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or death in an
accident. You may also receive serious or fa-
tal injuries from the supplemental front-im-
pact air bag if you are up against it when itinflates. Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
WARNING
•Never install a child restraint system in the
front seat. An inflating supplemental front-im-
pact air bag could seriously injure or kill your
child (see “Air bag warning labels” later in this
section).
•Children may be severely injured or killed
when the air bags inflate if they are not prop-
erly restrained see “Child restraints” earlier in
this section.
•Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them in your lap or arms.

WARNING
•Since your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
a rearward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first.
•Do not fit a rearward facing child seat on the
front passenger seat if the air bag activation/
deactivation system (where fitted) is malfunc-
tioning. Your vehicle must immediately be
taken to a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop in such a situation.
The front passenger air bag status lights
andare located on the instrument panel above the
shift lever.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the front passenger air bag status ON and
OFF lights illuminate and then turn off or remain on
depending on the front passenger air bag status.
•When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the front passenger air bag is ac-
tive, both the front passenger air bag status OFF
light
, and the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) air bag warning lightin the com-
bination meterj1 will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds.
The front passenger air bag status ON light
will illuminate and then turn off after a period of
time when the front passenger air bag switch is
in the ON position.
•When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the front passenger air bag is inac-
tive, both the front passenger air bag status ON
light
, and the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) air bag warning lightin the com-
bination meterj1 will turn on after about 7 sec-
onds.
The front passenger air bag status OFF light
will illuminate and remain on as long as the
front passenger air bag switch is in the OFF
position.
If the front passenger air bag status light operates in
a way other than described above, the front passen-
ger air bag may not function properly. Have the sys-
tem checked, and if necessary repaired, by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop promptly.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature should remain
within the normal range
j2.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the out-
side air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge exceeds the normal range, stop as
soon as it is safely possible. If the engine has
overheated, continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine. See “Engine
overheat” in the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion for immediate action.
WARNING
Allow the engine to cool down before removing
the radiator cap to avoid the danger of being
scalded.
