Type B (if so equipped):The low fuel
warning light illuminates 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 possible.
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, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
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
consumption.
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 (less than 2.7 gallons or 10 liters) or the igni-
tion 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.).

•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
location. 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
outside. To remove the cargo cover:
1Remove the straps from the rear hatch.
2Remove the cargo cover from the hold-
ers on the rear pillar.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
WARNING
• Always install the crossbars 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.
• Roof rack cross bars should be evenly
distributed.
• Do not exceed maximum roof rack
crossbars load capacity and always
distribute the load uniformly.
LIC3349LIC4202
Instruments and controls2-67

•Heavy loading of the crossbars has
the potential to affect the vehicle
stability and handling during sudden
or unusual handling maneuvers.
• 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.
• Drive extra carefully when the vehicle
is loaded at or near the cargo carry-
ing capacity, especially if the signifi-
cant portion of that load is carried on
the crossbars.
CAUTION
• Use care when placing or removing
items from the roof rack. If you can-
not comfortably lif t the items onto
the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or a stool. Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails
OA. CrossbarsOBmust be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/
luggage to the roof of the vehicle.
Genuine NISSAN accessory crossbars may
be available through a NISSAN dealer. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 110 lbs. (50 kg.), however do not ex-
ceed the crossbars load capacity.
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).
For additional information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to:
• F.M.V.S.S. or C.M.V.S.S. certification label (lo- cated on the driver’s door pillar).Installing Crossbars (if so
equipped)
WARNING
• It is recommended that you have the
roof rack crossbars installed by a
NISSAN dealer.
•
Protect the painted area on the vehicle
roof under the crossbars by placing a
piece of cloth under the cross bars to
prevent scratch damage.
• Make sure the moonroof (if so
equipped) is in the closed position
during the installation process.

affect radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore radio reception.
• When removing snow from the roof,
do not apply strong force to the an-
tenna. That might break the antenna
and dent the roof panel.
• When using a high pressure car wash,
keep the high pressure nozzle away
from the antenna. The seal may be
deformed or damaged.
• The radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof
blocks the radio signal. If possible, do
not put cargo near the antenna.

WARNING
• Do not leave children or adults who
would 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 slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
• To avoid raising the center of gravity
excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity of the roof rack (if so
equipped) and evenly distribute the
load.EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness 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 trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation 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 involv- ing damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
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.
