WARNING:
. Never leavechildren oradults whowould
normally requirethesupport ofothers alone
in the vehicle. Petsshould notbeleft alone
either. Theycould unknowingly activate
switches orcontrols andinadvertently be-
come involved inaserious accident and
injure themselves. Onhot, sunny days,
temperatures inaclosed vehicle could
quickly become highenough tocause se-
vere orpossibly fatalinjuries topeople or
animals.
. Donot use therecirculation modeforlong
periods asitmay cause theinterior airto
become staleandthewindows tofog up.
. Donot adjust theheating andaircondition-
ing controls whiledriving sothat fullatten-
tion may begiven tovehicle operation.
The heater andairconditioner operatewhenthe
engine isrunning. Theairblower willoperate evenif
the engine isturned offand theignition switchisin the
ªONº position.
NO TE:
. Odors frominside andoutside thevehicle
can build upinthe airconditioner unit.Odor
can enter thepassenger compartment
through thevents.
. When parking, setthe heater andaircondi-
tioner controls toturn offairrecirculation to
allow freshairinto thepassenger compart-
ment. Thisshould helpreduce odorsinside
the vehicle.

. Ifthe engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high,thecruise control system will
cancel automatically .
. Ifthe CRUISE indicator lightblinks, turnthecruise

procedures.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
GUID-738 F3BB0-3C2E-4 375-95D7-54DD457F2 984
The cruise control allowsdriving atspeeds above40
km/h (25MPH) without keeping yourfootonthe
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control willautomatically becanceled ifthe
vehicle slowsdownmorethanapproximately 13km/h
(8 MPH) below thesetspeed.
Moving theshift lever tothe ªNº (Neutral) position
(Continuously Variable Transmission model)ordepres-
sing theclutch pedal(Manual Transmission model)will
cancel thecruise control andtheCRUISE indicator
light willturn off.
T urning oncruise control

Push thecruise control MAINswitch. TheCRUISE
indicator lightilluminates.
Setting cruising speed
GUID-A62E 93CF-7746-4F51-9653-7 4B5844CB6C7
1. Accelerate tothe desired speed.
2. Push theSET/COAST switchandrelease it.
3. Take your footoffthe accelerator pedal.
The vehicle willmaintain thesetspeed.
Passing anothervehicle:

the proper useoftowing equipment.
OPERA TINGPRECAUTIONS
GUID-665723 55-FE0D-46B5-83A5-7 64AA319902 2
. Avoid towing atrailer during thebreak -inperiod.
. Before driving, makesurethatthelighting system
of the trailer works properly .
. Observe thelegal maximum speedsfortrailer
operation.
. Avoid abrupt starts,accelerations andstops.
. Avoid sharpturnsandlane changes.
. Always driveyourvehicle atamoderate speed.
. Follow thetrailer manufacturer's instructions.
. Choose propercoupling devices(trailerhitch,
safety chain,roofcarrier, etc.)foryour vehicle and
trailer. Thesedevices areavailable fromaNISSAN
dealer whereyoucan also obtain moredetailed
information abouttrailertowing.
. Never allowthetotal trailer load(trailer weight plus
its cargo weight) toexceed themaximum setfor
the vehicle andthecoupling device.Seea
NISSAN dealerformore information.
. Thetrailer mustbeloaded sothat heavy goods are
placed overtheaxle. Themaximum allowable
vertical loadonthe trailer hitchmust notbe
exceeded. .
Have yourvehicle serviced moreoftenthanatthe
intervals specified inaseparate maintenance
booklet.
. Trailer towing requires morefuelthan under
normal circumstances becauseofaconsiderable
increase intraction powerandresistance.
While towing atrailer, checktheengine coolant
temperature indicatortoprevent thevehicle
from overheating.
