2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert the belt tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.


3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended. At this time, the retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode). It reverts back to emergency locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.


4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the


belt to remove any slack in the belt.

5. Before placing the child in the child re- straint, use force to tilt the child restraint from side to side, and tug it forward to make sure it is securely held in place.


6. Check that the retractor is in the auto- matic locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt webbing out of the retrac- tor, the retractor is in the automatic lock- ing mode.


7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the belt is not locked, repeat steps three through six.


After the child restraint is removed and the seat belt is fully retracted, the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode) is can- celed. Rear facing (Three-point type with retractor, except Crew Cab models)


WARNING


c Never install a rear facing child re- straint in the front seating position of crew cab models. Install a rear facing child restraint in the rear seat only. The force of the inflating air bag could cause serious injury or kill the child in the child restraint.


c If so equipped, keep the passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch turned ON unless a rear-facing child restraint is used in the front seat. If the switch is OFF, the air bag will not inflate in a collision as designed.


c Be sure to turn the passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch OFF when using a rear facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. If it is not OFF, the air bag may inflate in a collision. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag could cause serious injury or kill the child in the child restraint. See ‘‘Passenger supple- mental air bag ON/OFF switch and light’’ earlier in this section.


c If the supplemental air bag warning light located in the instrument panel next to the speedometer comes on when the passenger supplemental air bag OFF indicator light is also illumi- nated, something may be wrong with the air bag system. Do not use a child restraint in the front passenger seat until the system is checked by your NISSAN dealer.


c The passenger three-point seat belt is equipped with an automatic lock- ing mode retractor which must be used when installing a child re- straint.

KEY


DOORS


WPD0036


A key number is supplied with your key. 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 an authorized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by using the key number. 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 locksmith.


3-2 Pre-driving checks and adjustments


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 un- knowingly activate switches or con- trols. Unattended children could become involved in serious acci- dents.

Power (if so equipped) For vehicles equipped with the theft warning system, the power door lock system allows you to lock or unlock all doors simulta- neously. Turning the key to the front of the vehicle locks all doors. Turning the key one time to the rear of the vehicle unlocks that door. From that posi- tion, returning the key to neutral (where the key can only be removed and inserted) and turning it to the rear again within 5 seconds unlocks all doors.


LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK KNOB To lock the door without the key, push the inside lock knob to the lock position, then close the door. When locking the door this way, be certain not to leave the key inside the vehicle.


LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH To lock the doors without a key, push the power door lock switch (driver or passenger side), then close the door. When locking the doors this way, be certain not to leave the key inside the vehicle. If the key is left in the ignition, all doors will unlock automatically.

MULTI-REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM (if so equipped)


It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, and activate the panic alarm by using the remote controller. Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle before locking the doors. The remote controller can operate at a distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. The effective distance depends on the conditions around the vehicle. As many as four remote controllers can be used with one vehicle. For information con- cerning the purchase and use of additional remote controllers, contact an authorized NISSAN dealer.


CAUTION


Listed below are conditions or occur- rences which will damage the remote controller: c Do not allow the remote controller to


become wet.


c Do not drop the remote controller. c Do not strike the remote controller


sharply against another object.


c Do not place the remote controller for an extended period in an area where temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).


HOW TO USE MULTI-REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM Locking doors 1. Close all windows. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Close the hood and all doors. 4. Push the LOCK 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 horn may or may not beep once.

WARNING


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 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 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 system. An in- correct cap can result in a serious malfunction and possible injury.


3-12 Pre-driving checks and adjustments


c Never pour fuel into the throttle body


to attempt to start your vehicle.


CAUTION


c If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.


c Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap properly may cause the mal- function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu- minate. If the lamp illuminates because the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The lamp should turn off after a few driving trips. If the lamp does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
