WARNING

•

Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on the rear seat when it
is in the fold-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury or death in an accident or
sudden stop.

•

Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

•

When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.

•

Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked in
the trunk where they could be seri-
ously injured. Keep the car locked,
with the rear seatback and trunk lid
securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys.

WARNING

•

Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the 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 system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the

Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.

•

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.

•

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
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.

function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. 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. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

WARNING

•

Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of

your

vehicle

and

cause

an

accident.

•

Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways 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. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

feature, see “Memory seat” (P. 3-31).

The memory seat system has three
features:
• Memory storage function (Key-link)
• Memory storage function (Switch)
• Entry/exit function

Key-link, when enabled, automatically re-
tains the driver’s last seat, automatic steer-
ing wheel, and outside mirror positions for
that specific key when the ignition is posi-
tioned from ON to OFF.

Each memory switch button (1 or 2) on the
driver’s door can also store one additional
position which is independent of the key-
linked position.

MEMORY STORAGE FUNCTION
(key-link)

Use the following process to setup key-link:

1. Unlock the vehicle with the desired Intel-

ligent Key while the ignition is OFF.

2. Place the ignition in the ON position.

3. Within the “Settings” menu of the vehicle

information display, select “Key-Linked
Settings” and press the OK button on the
steering switch.

4. While in the menu, press the OK button

on the steering switch to turn the sys-
tem ON/OFF.

Once step 4 is completed, every time the
ignition is switched from ON to OFF, the
memory positions of the driver’s seat, au-
tomatic steering wheel and the outside
mirrors are linked to the Intelligent Key.

Follow the same procedure if you want
to link the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Intelligent Key.

NOTE:

If new memory positions are set prior to
turning the ignition from ON to OFF, the
previously linked memory positions for
the respective key will be overwritten by
new positions.

Recalling Intelligent Key memory
positions

If the “Key-Linked Settings” are enabled in
the vehicle information display for that par-
ticular key, every time you enter the vehicle
the driver’s seat, automatic steering wheel,
and outside mirrors will automatically
move to the driver’s last position of the
respective Intelligent Key.

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION

This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to
easily get in and out of the driver’s seat.

The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up:
• When the driver's door is opened and the

ignition switch is in the OFF position.

• When the ignition switch is turned from

ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.

The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous position:
• When the ignition switch is turned to ACC

or ON while the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position.

The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Vehicle Settings” in
the vehicle information display by perform-
ing the following:
• Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
• Switch the Exit Steering Up from ON to

OFF.

SYSTEM OPERATION

The memory seat system will not work or
will stop operating under the following
conditions:
• When the vehicle speed is above 4 mph (7

km/h).

• When any of the memory switches are

pushed

while

the

memory

seat

is

operating.

• When the switch for the driver’s seat and

steering column is pushed while the
memory seat is operating.

• When the seat has already been moved

to the memorized position.
