WARNING:
. Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;
wearing the lap section of the belt across
the abdominal area must be avoided. Ser-
ious injury may occur if a seat belt is not
worn properly.
SSS0134A . Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible around the hips, not the waist. A
lap belt worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an accident.
. Do not allow more than one person to use
the same seat belt. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child being carried
on the occupants lap.
. Never carry more people in the vehicle than
there are seat belts.
SSS0136A . Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts
should not be worn with straps twisted.
Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.
. Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
. Every person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should use a seat belt at all times.
Children should be properly restrained in the

front-impact air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to the
head and chest area of the driver and/or front
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the SSS0131A
front where the vehicle is impacted.
The SRS is designed to supplement the accident
protection provided by the drivers and passengers
seat belts and is not designed to substitute for them.
The SRS can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abra-
sions or other injuries. Air bags do not provide
protection to the lower body. Seat belts should always
be correctly worn and the occupants should always be
seated a suitable distance away from the steering
wheel and instrument panel. (See Seat belts (P.1-

protect the occupants. The force of the air bags

WARNING:
. Once the air bags have been inflated, the air
bag modules will not function and must be
replaced. The air bag modules must be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The inflated
air bag modules cannot be repaired.
. The air bag systems should be inspected by
a NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to
the front end or side portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap
the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Cor-
rect disposal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could cause perso-
nal injury.
The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are designed
to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged, the
SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after
inflation has occurred. The repair and replacement of
the SRS should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat belts
and related parts should be pointed out to the person
performing the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.

If the engine is not running or is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the steering will not

The electric power steering system is designed to


provide power assist while driving to operate the
steering wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or
continuously while parking or driving at a very low
speed, the power assist for the steering wheel will be
reduced. This is to prevent overheating of the electric
power steering system and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is reduced, steering
wheel operation will become heavy. When the
temperature of the electric power steering system
goes down, the power assist level will return to normal.
Avoid repeating such steering wheel operations that
could cause the electric power steering system to
overheat.
You may hear a fricative sound when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is not a
malfunction.

MR18DE ENGINE MODEL
GUID-8AA1E89D-EC13-4353-93BE-07BBEEA5EEC0 WARNING:
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator
cool down.
. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a
high-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution.
The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion
inhibitors, therefore additional cooling system additives
are not necessary.

CAUTION:
. Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the
engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant
or equivalent in its quality with the proper
JVC0468X mixture ratio. Examples of the mixture ratio
of coolant and water are shown in the

WARNING:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air, it
also stops flame if the engine backfires. If the air

backfires, you could be burned. Never drive with
the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious working on
the engine when the air cleaner filter is off.

To remove the filter from the air cleaner, push the tabs

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE


GUID-3147703F-D624-4CFD-A29A-C2C834301667
Periodically check the pressure of the tires, including
the spare. An incorrect tire pressure may adversely
affect tire life and vehicle handling. The tire pressure
should be checked when tires are COLD. Tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked
for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire placard.
(See Vehicle identification (P.9-6) for the location of

Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of the
tire and subsequent internal damage. At high speeds,
this could result in tread separation and even bursting
