VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) OFF SWITCH


HEATED SEATS (if so equipped)


WARNING


Do not use or allow occupants to use the seat heater if you or the occupants cannot monitor elevated seat tempera- tures or have an inability to feel pain in body parts that contact the seat. Use of the seat heater by such people could result in serious injury.


SIC4130

WARNING


Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so could affect proper operation of the supplemental front air bag system. Tampering with the supplemental front air bag system may result in serious personal injury.


The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driving conditions.


If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC system reduces the engine output to reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.


To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF switch. The


indicator will illuminate.


Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the engine to turn on the system. (See “VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)


CAUTION


The battery could run down if the seat heater is operated while the engine is not running.


. Do not use the seat heater for extended periods or when no one is using the seat.


. Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may become overheated.


. Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object. This may result in damage to the heater.

KEYS


A key number plate is supplied with your keys. Record the key number and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If you lose your keys, see a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by using the key number. NISSAN does not record any 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 a NISSAN dealer.

duplicate your existing key. As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle. You should bring all the registered keys that you have to a NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase the memory of all key codes previously registered into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registration process, these components will only recognize keys coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration. Any key that is not given to your dealer at the time of registration will no longer be able to start your vehicle.

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.

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.
