assistance with purchasing an extender if an
extender is required.
WARNING
.Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with the
NISSAN seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCEGUID-2CF601B2-9F89-42D3-8CB2-6AE797300E6C.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry. .
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat
belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
. Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt
assembly should be replaced.

WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child's neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously injured
or killed if the seat belt retracts and
becomes tight. This can occur even if
the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat
belt to release the child. For the center

Exterior light indicatorGUID-DF342439-0FE3-4496-9A16-C533B45E0A28This indicator illuminates when the headlight
switch is turned to the AUTO (if so equipped) ,
orposition and the front side marker
lights, the front parking lights, instrument panel
lights, tail lights, rear side marker lights, license
plate lights or headlights are on. The indicator
turns off when these lights are turned off.
Front passenger air bag status lightGUID-367FC65F-F709-47F5-B2C8-55C6BB057E93The front passenger air bag status light ()
will be lit and the passenger front air bag will be
OFF depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light opera-
tion, see ªNISSAN advanced air bag system
(front seats)º (P.1-55) of this manual.
High beam indicator lightGUID-615CDEB6-E7A5-47B7-A115-94D5A95A46BCThis light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)GUID-1C68E634-2F16-4A6B-85E1-536C36C54FC0If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control and/or
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See ªReadiness for inspec-
tion/maintenance (I/M) testº (P.9-26).)
Operation:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady Ð An
emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears on the vehicle information display. If
the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. You
do not need to have your vehicle towed to
the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking Ð An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h) .
2) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.

time comes for changing the engine oil. You can
set or reset the distance for changing the engine
oil. (See ªTrip computerº (P.2-24) .)
2. Oil filter replacement indicatorGUID-8EC15863-1C70-4332-BAFA-4C2E8EE6FBFCThis indicator appears when the customer set

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. See
ªChanging wheels and tiresº (P.8-38) .
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road con-
ditions affect tire wear and when tires
should be replaced. Setting the tirereplacement indicator for a certain
driving distance does not mean your
tires will last that long. Use the tire
replacement indicator as a guide only

Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
