WARNING
∙ The Mobile Entertainment System isdesigned for rear seat passenger
viewing only.
∙ It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
viewer or screen that is located in the
motor vehicle at any point forward of
the back of the driver’s seat, or that is
visible, directly or indirectly, to the
driver while operating the vehicle.
∙ In the interest of safety, the monitors should never be installed where they
will be visible, directly or indirectly, by
the operator of the motor vehicle.
∙ If your vehicle is equipped with a wire- less rear seat audio system or any
other wireless infrared device, make
sure it is powered off when operating
the Rear Seat Entertainment System.
If both systems are powered on at the
same time, the two systems may ob-
struct each other, possibly creating
undesirable audio interference
through the wireless headphones. ∙ For safety reasons, when changing
video discs it is recommended that
the vehicle is not in motion, and that
you do not allow children to unfasten
safety belts to change discs or make
any adjustments to the system. Sys-
tem adjustments can be accom-
plished using the remote control unit,
while safety belts remain fastened.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to run the vehicle engine whileusing the system. Using this system
without running the engine can result
in a battery drain. To avoid the risk of
battery drain, please remember to
turn off the system when the vehicle
is not in use. Do not touch the inner
pins of the jacks on the front panel.
Electrostatic discharge may cause
permanent damage to the system.
NOTE:
Depending on the USB device, it may or
may not charge when connected to the
USB connection port. Not all devices are
able to charge when connected to the
USB connection port. Each monitor includes a built-in dual chan-
nel infrared transmitter for use with wire-
less headphones. The wireless head-
phones must be used within a line of sight
from the transmitter as infrared transmis-
sion, like visible light, travels only in a
straight line.
When placing the headphones on your
head, make sure to observe the Lef t and
Right orientation. The headphones must
be oriented correctly (facing forward) in or-
der to receive the audio signal. Press the
power button on the headphones, then se-
lect channel “A” to listen to monitor A, or
channel “B” to listen to monitor B. Adjust the
audio level using the volume control on
each headphone.
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone out-
put jack on each monitor which can be
used with any standard stereo headphone
with an in-line volume control (wired head-
phones sold separately).
The system includes a built-in infrared re-
ceiver for use with the included wireless
remote control. For additional information,
refer to “Remote control operation” in this
section.

WARNING
∙ Do not leave children or adults whowould 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.
∙ 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.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
∙ Do not breathe exhaust gases; theycontain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death. ∙ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the ve-
hicle inspected immediately.
∙ Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage.
∙ Do not park the vehicle with the en- gine running for any extended length
of time.
∙ Keep the rear vent windows, lif tgates, doors and trunk lids (if so equipped)
closed while driving, otherwise ex-
haust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must
drive with one of these open, follow
these precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation but-
ton to off and the fan control dial to
high to circulate the air.
∙ If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the lif tgate or the
body, follow the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle. ∙ The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST (if so
equipped)
The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst
are burned at high temperatures to help
reduce pollutants.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING
5-2Starting and driving
RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving
on under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially
at highway speeds.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by
maintaining the correct air pressure and
visually inspecting the tires for wear and
damage. For additional information, refer
to “Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual. If a tire rapidly loses
air pressure or “blows-out” while driving,
maintain control of the vehicle by following
the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The ve-
hicle must be driven as appropriate based
on the conditions of the vehicle, road and
traffic.
WARNING
The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pres-
sure. Losing control of the vehicle may
cause a collision and result in personal
injury.
∙ The vehicle generally moves or pullsin the direction of the flat tire.
∙ Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
∙ Do not rapidly release the accelerator pedal.
∙ Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road and away from
traffic if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu- ally stop the vehicle. 6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers
and contact a roadside emergency
service to change the tire. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing a
flat tire” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream
reduces coordination, delays reaction
time and impairs judgement. Driving af-
ter drinking alcohol increases the likeli-
hood of being involved in an accident in-
juring yourself and others. Additionally, if
you are injured in an accident, alcohol can
increase the severity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under the
influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of
people are injured or killed in alcohol-related
collisions. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxicated,
the fact is that alcohol affects all people dif-
ferently and most people underestimate the
effects of alcohol.
