WARNING
. 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.
. Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. . Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could un- knowingly activate switches or con- trols. Unattended children could become involved in serious acci- dents.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (if so equipped)
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including the back door), and activate the panic alarm by using the keyfob from outside the vehicle. Before locking the doors, make sure the key is not left in the vehicle. The keyfob can operate at a distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The effective distance depends upon the conditions around the vehicle.) As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one vehicle. For information concerning the pur- chase and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN dealer.
The keyfob will not function: . When the keyfob is not within the opera-
tional range.
. When the doors are open or not closed
securely.
. When the key is in the ignition switch. . When the battery is discharged.

mishandled. Always stop engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in safety valve needed for proper operation of the fuel system and emission control sys- tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunction and possible injury. It could also cause the mal- function indicator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel
into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehi- cle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec- tricity can cause an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death when

— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.
Insert the cap straight into the fuel- filler tube, then tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.

WARNING
The air conditioner cooling function operates only when the engine is running.
. Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. 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.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the interior air to become stale and the windows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the heater and the air conditioner system.
