can be dangerous. The shoulder belt
will not be against your body. In an
accident, you could be thrown into it
and receive neck or other serious
injuries. You could also slide under
the lap belt and receive serious
internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection
when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-18) .

Folding:
Push and hold the front side of the switch
*1located on the passenger side of the cargo
room. The corresponding seatback (R: right
side, L: left side) will be folded down auto-
matically.
Push and hold the rear side of the switch
*2. The seatback will be returned automatically. The
seatback will rise up while holding the switch.
NOTE:
Operating the power folding seats can
discharge the vehicle battery if the engine
is not running.
CAUTION
When operating the rear power seat-
back return, make sure that the vehicle
is stopped and the transmission is in
the P (Park) position.
WARNING
.
Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when
it is in the fold-down position. Use
of these areas by passengers with-
out proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or
sudden stop.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM) .Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
SIC4372
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge needle points
within the zone
*1shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. See “If your vehicle overheats”
(P.6-14) for immediate action required.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0” (Empty) .
The low fuel warning
appears on the vehicle
information display when the fuel tank is getting
low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the gauge reaches “0”. There
will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches “0”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips,
the
light should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-18) .
SIC4375
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication
system oil pressure while the engine is running.
When the engine speed is high, the engine oil
pressure is also high. When it is low, the gauge
indicates the low (L) oil pressure.
The engine oil pressure is normal when the
gauge needle points within the zone
*1shown
in the illustration.
CAUTION
. This gauge is not designed to in-
dicate low engine oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level. (See
“Engine oil” (P.8-6) .)
. If the gauge needle does not move
with the proper amount of engine
oil, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Continued
vehicle operation in such a condi-
tion could cause serious damage to
the engine.
SIC4376
VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the volt meter indicates the battery
voltage. When the engine is running, it indicates
the generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volt drop below
the normal range. If the needle is not in the
normal range (10.5 to 15.5 volt) while the
engine is running, it may indicate that the
charging system is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
METER/RING ILLUMINATION AND
NEEDLE SWEEP
The ring illumination surrounding meters and
gauges illuminates when the driver’s door is
closed after getting into the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator
needles will sweep in the speedometer and
tachometer and the ring illumination will be
brightened gradually. This function can be
turned off. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-27) .)

With all doors closed, apply the parking brake,
fasten the seat belts and place the ignition
switch in the ON position without starting the
engine. The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on:
,or,,,,,
The following lights (if so equipped) will come
on briefly and then go off:

If any light does not come on or operates in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunction. It
is recommended you have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) .)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-136) .)
Automatic Transmission (AT) check
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If the
light comes on at any other time, it may indicate
the transmission is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic Trans-
mission (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the
light illuminates while driving, reduce the vehicle
speed as soon as safely possible until the light
turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
AT oil temperature warning light is on
may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT) park
warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) parking function is not engaged. If the
transfer control is not secured in any driving
position while the AT shift lever is in the “P”
(Park) position, the transmission will disengage
and the wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
