•If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) (if so
equipped) should be checked to
verif y it is still functioning correctly. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. The
OCS (weight sensor) (if so equipped)
should be checked even if no air bags
deploy as a result of the impact. Fail-
ure to verif y proper OCS (weight sen-
sor) (if so equipped) function may re-
sult in an improper air bag
deployment resulting in injury or
death.

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 light comes on 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, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as pos-
sible. If the vehicle has run out of fuel,
the system will need to be primed.
Turn the key switch to ON for 20–30
seconds and then back OFF. Repeat
3–4 times or until the fuel pressure
builds. Once primed, start the vehicle.
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.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the ve-
hicle can be driven before refueling. The
value is calculated based on recent fuel
economy, the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consump-
tion. Changes in driving patterns or conditions
can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result,
the value displayed may differ from the ac-
tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to
the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value af ter refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and
amount of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the
display may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated
DTE value (city/highway driving, idle
time, remote start time, terrain, sea-
sonal weather, added vehicle weight,
added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).

CAUTION
To avoid damaging the tray under the
seat, cargo in the trays should not ex-
ceed 20 lbs. (9.08kg).
To adjust the divider
O1, pull it straight up
and reposition it to the desired location,
sliding it straight down.
Both sides of the storage bin, under the
rear seat on the driver’s and passenger’s
sides, operate similarly. They can be ac-
cessed simultaneously or independently of
each other.
Further, to create a flat floor space for stor-
age, rather than access the storage bin, lif t
the bench seat as before, then lif t the tab
O2and rotate the bin cover toward the
front of the vehicle. Use the tab as a leg to
support the cover as the new floor space.
Cargo can be secured to the extended
floor with bungee cords. Secure the bun-
gee cords to the loops in the extended
floor.
CAUTION
• To avoid damaging the extended
floor, the weight secured should not
exceed 247 lbs. (112 kg).
• To avoid damaging the bungee hook
loops, do not exceed 35 lbs. (16 kg) of
force to any given loop.
CAUTION
• To avoid damaging the extended
floor, the leg of the extended floor
must be perpendicular to the floor
before any weight is applied.
• To avoid damaging the extended
floor, ensure that the under-seat
storage area is completely stowed
before lowering the rear seat
bottom.

TIE DOWN HOOKS
For your convenience, tie down hooks are
placed at each corner of the truck box.
These may be used to help secure cargo
loaded into the truck box.
• The weight of the cargo load must beevenly distributed over the rear axles.
• All cargo should be securely fastened with ropes or straps to prevent it from
shif ting or sliding within the vehicle.
WARNING
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury. The memory seat system has two fea-
tures:
• Memory storage function
• Entry/exit function

Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
• Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident. •
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight
capacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
Do not load your vehicle be-
yond this capacity. Overload-
ing your vehicle may result in
reduced tire life, unsafe operat-
ing conditions due to prema-
ture tire failure, or unfavorable
handling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious ac-
cident. Loading beyond the
specified capacity may also re-
sult in failure of other vehicle
components.
• Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load
your vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level. •
For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

6. Two- or three-digit number (95):This number is the tire's load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port. You may not find this infor-
mation on all tires because it is
not required by law.
7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than
the tire speed rating.
O2TIN (Tire Identification Number)
for a new tire (example: DOT XX XX
XXX XXXX)
1. DOT: Abbreviation for the “Depart- ment Of Transportation”. The
symbol can be placed above, be-
low or to the lef t or right of the Tire
Identification Number.
2. Two-digit code: Manufacturer's identification mark. 3. Two-digit code: Tire size.
4. Three-digit code: Tire type code
(Optional).
5. Four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
For example, the numbers 3103
means the 31st week of 2003. If
these numbers are missing then
look on the other sidewall of the
tire.
