The theft warning system provides visual and audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are disturbed. How to activate the theft warning system 1. Close all windows. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors. 4. Push the button on the multi-remote controller. All doors lock. The hazard lights flash twice and the horn beeps once to indicate all doors are locked.


The system can be activated even if the windows are open. 5. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light comes on. The SECURITY light glows for about 30 seconds and then begins to flash once every three seconds. The system is now activated. If, during this 30-second time period, the door is unlocked by the key or the multi-remote controller, or the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the system will not activate.


c If the key is turned slowly when lock- ing the door, the system may not acti- vate. Furthermore, if the key is turned excessively to the unlock position, the system may be deactivated when the key is removed. If the indicator light fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door once and lock it again.


c Even when the driver and/or passen- gers are in the vehicle, the system will activate with all doors, hood and trunk lid locked and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON to turn the system off.


Theft warning system operation The theft warning system emits the follow- ing alarm: c The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently. In addition, the starter mo- tor does not operate.


c The alarm automatically turns off after 2
to 3 minutes. However, the alarm reacti- vates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking a door or trunk lid with the key, or by pressing the button on the multi-remote controller. The alarm is activated by: c opening the door or trunk lid without using the key (even if the door is un- locked by releasing the door inside lock switch) or opening the trunk lid by oper- ating the opener lever.

DOOR LOCKS


APD1025


The master key can be used for all of the locks. A key number plate is supplied with your key. Record the key number and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. NISSAN does not record key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by an authorized NISSAN dealer or a locksmith shop.

WARNING


c Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from unintentionally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.


c Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. c Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow- ingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

WARNING


CAUTION


c Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain con- ditions. You could be burned or se- riously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.


c Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap one-half turn, and wait for any ‘‘hissing’’ sound to stop to prevent fuel from spraying out and possible personal injury. Then remove the cap. c Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refuel- ing may cause fuel overflow, result- ing in fuel spray and possibly fire.


c If fuel


is spilled on the car body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.


c Tighten until the cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel cap properly may cause the malfunction indica- tor light (MIL) to illuminate. If this occurs, securely close the fuel filler cap. After driving for a while, the light should remain off. If the light remains on, have the vehicle in- spected by an authorized NISSAN dealer. For additional information, see the ‘‘Malfunction indicator light (MIL)’’ in the ‘‘Instruments and controls’’ sec- tion.


Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder while refueling.


APD1006


c Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in safety valve needed for proper op- eration of the fuel system and emis- sion control system. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunc- tion and possible injury.

compartment to improve the defogging per- formance. Operating tips c Keep the windows and sun roof closed while the air conditioner is in operation. c After parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to vent hot air from the passenger compart- ment. Then, close the windows. This allows the air conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.


c The air conditioner system should be operated for approximately ten min- utes at least once a month. This helps prevent damage to the system due to lack of lubrication.


c If the engine coolant temperature gauge exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air conditioner off. See ‘‘If your vehicle over- heats’’ in the ‘‘In case of emergency’’ section of this owner’s manual for addi- tional information.

Servicing air conditioner The air conditioner system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de- signed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equipment and lubricant is required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe damage to your air conditioner system. See ‘‘Air conditioner system refrigerant and lubricant recommen- dations’’ in the ‘‘Technical and consumer information’’ section of this manual. Your NISSAN dealer is able to service your environmentally ‘‘friendly’’ air conditioning system.


WARNING


The air conditioner system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air condi- tioner service should be done only by an experienced technician with proper equipment.

ing digital squares illuminate on the left side of the display window. Precautions on cassette player op- eration c To maintain good quality sound, NIS- SAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.


c Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture and magnetic sources. c Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of de- formed cassettes may cause the cas- sette to jam in the player.


c Do not use cassettes with labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.


c If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jamming and wavering sound quality.


c Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may collect a tape coating residue as the tape is played. This residue accumu- lation can cause weak or wavering sound, and should be removed peri- odically with a head cleaning tape. If the residue is not removed periodi- cally, the player may need to be dis- assembled for cleaning.
