FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-
reset overload protection circuit. If the
motor stops during operation, wait 30
seconds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch
for a long period of time when the
engine is off. This will discharge the
battery.

Forward and backward (if so equipped):
Moving the switch
forward or back-
ward will slide the seat forward or back-
ward to the desired position.
Reclining (if so equipped):
Move the recline switch
backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment
of the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help
obtain proper seat belt fit. (See “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) The
seatback may also be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission is in the P
(Park) position or N (Neutral) position with
the parking brake fully applied.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-3

When the engine oil temperature is
high, the engine protection mode,
which helps reduce the chance of en-
gine damage, could activate and auto-
matically decrease engine power.
Voltmeter
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the volt meterindicates
the battery voltage. When the engine is
running, it indicates the generator vol-
tage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the needle is
not in the normal range (11 to 15 volts)
while the engine is running, it may
indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Clock
If necessary, adjust the clockon the
vehicle information display. (See “Clock”
(P.2-28).)
If the power supply is disconnected, the
clock will not indicate the correct time.
Readjust the time.

When the soft top is operating, if any of
the above conditions are discontinued or
any of the following conditions are met,
the top will stop operating.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle moves at a speed of
3 MPH (5 km/h) or more.
