FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) af-
ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning message shows in
the vehicle information display when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg-
isters 0 (Empty).
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.
Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
af ter a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
∙ For additional information, refer to “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section. This unit measures terrestrial magnetism
and indicates the heading direction of the
vehicle.
With the ignition placed in the ON position,
press the
button as described in the
charts below to activate various features of
the automatic anti-glare rearview mirror.

1. With the display turned on, press andhold the
button for about 9 sec-
onds. The display will read “C.”
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at a
maximum speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
3. Af ter completing the circles the display should return to normal.
∙ If the compass deviates from the cor- rect indication soon af ter repeated ad-
justment, have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
∙ The compass may not indicate the cor- rect compass point in tunnels or while
driving up or down a steep hill. (The
compass returns to the correct com-
pass point when the vehicle moves to
an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)CAUTION
∙ Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
∙ When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

lowing conditions has occurred:
∙ The shif t lever is moved to any position other than R (Reverse).
∙ The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
∙ The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in
the center position, the mirror surface
will NOT turn downward when the shif t
lever is moved to R (Reverse).
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.
Heated mirrors (if so equipped)
Some outside mirrors can be heated to
defrost, defog, or de-ice for improved vis-
ibility. For additional information, refer to
“Rear window and outside mirror (if so
equipped) defroster switch” in the “Instru-

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling functionoperates only when the engine is
running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedure:1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po- sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices. ∙ Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
∙ Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield-
washer fluid as frequently as possible,
or at least whenever you refuel.
∙ Check that all windows and lights are clean.
∙ Visually inspect tires for their appear- ance and condition. Also check tires for
proper inflation.
∙ Check that all doors are closed.
∙ Position seat and adjust head restraints/headrests.
∙ Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
∙ Fasten seat belts and ask all passen- gers to do likewise.
∙ Check the operation of warning lights when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position. For additional information,
refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights
and audible reminders” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual. 1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shif t lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral). P (Park) is recommended.
The starter is designed not to oper-
ate if the shif t lever is in any of the
driving positions.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON po- sition. Depress the brake pedal and
push the ignition switch to start the
engine.
To start the engine immediately, push
and release the ignition switch while
depressing the brake pedal with the
ignition switch in any position.
∙ If the engine is very hard to start in extremely cold weather or when re-
starting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to the
floor) and while holding, crank the en-
gine. Release the accelerator pedal
when the engine starts.
∙ If the engine is very hard to start be- cause it is flooded, depress the accel-
erator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it. Push the ignition switch
to the ON position to start cranking
the engine. Af ter 5 or 6 seconds, stop
cranking by pushing the ignition
