WARNING
●The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat. The side air bag and curtain air
bag inflate with great force. Do not al-
low anyone to place their hand, leg or
face near the side air bag on the side of
the seatback of the front seat or near
the side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear out-
board seats to extend their hand out of
the window or lean against the door.
Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the previous
illustrations.
WARNING
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front seat.
If the side air bag inflates, you may be
seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with side
air bag inflation.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems:● Vehicle security system
● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors
or hood when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection-type system that
activates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al- ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the ignition,
and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. Your NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.
(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the Intelligent Key, door
handle request switch, or mechanical key.
4. Confirm that the
security indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed.
The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the sys-
tem will not arm:
● Any door is unlocked with the mechanical
key, the Intelligent Key or door request
switch.
● Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON
position.
● If the key is turned slowly when locking
the door, the system may not arm. Fur-
thermore, if the key is turned beyond
the vertical position toward the unlock
position to remove the key, the system
may be disarmed when the key is re-
moved. If the indicator light fails to
glow for a period of time, unlock the
door once and lock it again.
● Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood and
locked with the ignition switch placed
in the LOCK position. When placing the
ignition switch in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, the system will be released.
● The lockable bedside storage compart-
ment (if so equipped) is not protected
by the vehicle security system.

To defrost the rear window glass and/or outside
mirrors, start the engine and push the rear
window/outside mirror defroster switch on. The
indicator light on the switch will illuminate. Push
the switch again to turn the defroster off.
The defroster automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 15 minutes.NOTE:
If the rear power window (if so equipped) is
open while the defroster switch is on, the
rear window defroster will automatically
shut off. The heated outside mirrors (if so
equipped) will remain on. The rear window
defroster will automatically turn on when
the rear power window is fully closed if the
switch is on.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or dam-
age the rear window defroster.

●Only certain power outlets are designed
for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do
not use any other power outlet for an
accessory lighter. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for addi-
tional information.
● Do not use with accessories that exceed
a 12 volt, 120W (10A) power draw.
● Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory.
● Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
● Avoid using power outlets when the air
conditioner, headlights, or rear window
defroster (if so equipped) is on. ●
Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned OFF.
● Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug may

Do not use the outlet located in the truck box with
accessories that exceed 120 volt. Do not use
double adapters or more than one electrical ac-
cessory. When the dual wall bed liner is installed
(if so equipped) , the power outlet is still acces-
sible through the access door in the bed liner.
CAUTION
●Operation of the 120 volt system with
the ignition in the ON position and the
engine not running (idle) will drain the
battery charge. This could lead to a
dead battery or no start condition.
● The outlet and plug may be hot during
or immediately after use.
● Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
● Do not use double adaptors or more
than one electrical accessory.
● Avoid using power outlets when the air
conditioner, headlights or rear window
defroster is on.
● Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned OFF. ●
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug may
overheat or the internal temperature
fuse may open.
● When not in use, be sure to close the
cap. Do not allow water or any other
liquid to contact the outlet.
The extended storage switch is used when ship-
ping the vehicle. It is located in the fuse panel
inside the glove box. To reach it, open the glove
box

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
●Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while
it is in motion and before closing the
windows. Use the window lock switch to
prevent unexpected use of the power
windows.
● To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your
vehicle. Additionally, the temperature
inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position, or for a
period of time after the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position. If the driver’s or passenger’s
door is opened during this period of time, the
power to the windows is canceled.
