CARGO COVER (if so equipped)
WARNING
∙ Do not place objects on the cargocover while the vehicle is parked or in
motion, no matter how small. The ob-
ject on the cargo cover could cause an
injury in an accident or sudden stop,
and/or the cargo cover can become
damaged.
∙ Do not leave the cargo cover in the vehicle with it disengaged from the
holder.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury. ∙ Properly secure cargo and do not al-
low it to contact the top tether strap
when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Cargo that is not properly se-
cured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. If the
cargo cover contacts the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo cover
from the vehicle or secure it on the
cargo floor below its attachment lo-
cation. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.
The cargo cover keeps the luggage com-
partment contents hidden from the out-
side.

To remove the cargo cover:
1Remove the straps from the rear
hatch.
2Remove the edge of the cargo cover
privacy cloth from the rear seatback.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails. Cross bars must be installed be-
fore applying load/cargo/luggage to the
roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN acces-
sory cross bars are available through a
NISSAN dealer. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for additional informa-
tion.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capac-
ity. Be careful that your vehicle does not ex-
ceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. cer-
tification label (located on the driver’s door
pillar). For additional information regarding
GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading
information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
∙ Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.
∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has the potential to affect the vehicle sta-
bility and handling during sudden or
unusual handling maneuvers.
∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly distributed.

∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rackcross bars load capacity.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
∙ Make sure that all passengers havetheir 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

vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature 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 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:∙ Will operate most radio frequency de- vices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
∙ Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse, does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
∙ During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming. ∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. Do
not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion when programming HomeLink®. It is
also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink® for quicker programming
and accurate transmission of the radio
frequency.
