INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
WARNING
CAUTION
. Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should con- tact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influ- ences before use.
The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pushed. The FAA advises that radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and communication systems. Do not operate the Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make sure the buttons are not operated unintentionally when the unit is stored for a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the door locks (including the lift gate) using the remote controller function or pushing the re- quest switch on the vehicle without taking the key out from a pocket or purse. The operating environment and/or conditions may affect the Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the Intelligent Key system.
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the vehi- cle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio signals. Environmental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent Key system under the following operating conditions. . When operating near a location where strong radio signals are transmitted, such as a TV tower, power station and broad- casting station.
. When in possession of wireless equipment, transceiver,
such as a cellular telephone, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote control
is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal computer.
. When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions before using the Intelligent Key function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately 2 years. the battery is dis- charged, replace it with a new one.
If
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv- ing radio signals, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio signals such as from a TV and personal computer, the battery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a battery, see “INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.

FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or 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-

. Close the sliding door before open-
ing the fuel-filler door.
. 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 filling portable fuel containers:
— 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. Failure to tight- 3-30 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
en the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. If the light illuminates because the fuel- filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The light should turn off after a few driving trips. If the light does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN deal- er.
For additional information, see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will appear if the fuel-filler cap is not properly tightened. Failure to tight- en the fuel-filler cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning ap- pears may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to illuminate.

TILT/TELESCOPIC STEERING
WARNING
. Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an acci- dent.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer to you than is necessary for proper steering operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag inflates with great force. If you are unrest- rained, leaning forward, sitting side- ways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.

AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER (if so equipped)
The automatic drive positioner system has two features: . Entry/exit function . Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION This system is designed so that the driver’s seat will automatically move when the selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to get into and out of the driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward when the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous positions when the ignition switch is pushed to the ACC position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the previous positions if the seat adjusting switch is operated when the seat is at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit function The selector lever must be in the P (Park) position with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
The entry/exit function can be activated or canceled by pressing and holding the SET switch for more than 10 seconds.
Black plate (174,1)
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink twice
when the function is activated. Note that the
indicator lights may illuminate after 5 seconds
while holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to a
stored memory position. Keep the SET switch
pressed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or
off the entry/exit function.
The entry/exit function can also be activated or canceled if the “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit” key is turned to ON or OFF in the “Comfort settings”. (See “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGS (models with center multi-function control panel)” in the “4. Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section.)
