WARNING LIGHTS
Engine oil pressure warning light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the light flickers or comes on during normal driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine immediately and call a NISSAN dealer or other authorized repair shop. The oil pressure warning light is not de- signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. See “Engine oil” in the “8. Do-it-yourself” section.
Running the engine with the oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immedi- ately. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is something wrong with the charging system. Turn the engine off and check the alternator belt. If the

Do not continue driving if the belt is loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are not closed securely while the ignition key is ON.
Seat belt warning light and buzzer
The light and buzzer remind you to fasten seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the igni- tion key is turned to ON, and will remain illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is fas- tened.

supplemental air bag needs servicing and your
vehicle must be taken to your nearest autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.

come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemen- tal Restraint System may not function properly. For additional details on the Supplemental Air Bag System, see Section 2.
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the supplemen- tal air bag or supplemental side air bag system (if so equipped) will not operate in an accident.
Low washer fluid warning light (if so equipped)
This light comes on when the washer tank fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid as neces- sary. See “Window washer fluid” in the “8. Do-it-yourself” section.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Should you sell your vehicle, be sure to clear
the channels of
the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter. To clear the channels, simulta-
neously hold down the outside two buttons (#1
& #3) until the red indicator light begins to flash
rapidly (approximately 20 seconds). This will
clear all three buttons. Individual buttons can-
not be cleared, but can be reprogrammed at
any time by following the programming proce-
dures described above.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle has been stolen, you should
change the codes of any device that was
programmed into the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter as soon as possible. Consult the
owners manual of each device, or call
the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
reprogram the
need
Integrated
to
HomeLink
Transmitter with your new
transmitter information.

KEYS
DOORS
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 your NISSAN dealer or a lock smith shop.
I 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 unintention- ally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.
I Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
I 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.

The master key can be used for all the locks. Record the key number on the key number plate and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the car. A key number plate is supplied with your key. Keep the plate in a safe place. NISSAN does not record key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, to open the driver’s and front passenger’s windows, to release the trunk lid and to turn on or off the interior light by using the remote controller from outside the car. Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle before locking the doors and leaving it. The remote controller can operate at a dis- tance of approximately 49 ft (15 m) from the vehicle. (The effective distance depends upon 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 your NISSAN dealer.

while the air conditioner is in operation.
I After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3
minutes with the windows open to vent hot
air from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This will allow the air
conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
I The air conditioning system should be
operated for about 10 minutes at least
once a month. This helps prevent dam-

tion.
