N (Neutral) – Neither forward or reverse is engaged.
D (Drive) – Use for normal forward driving.
S (Second) – Use for improved acceleration and
engine braking.

FRONT-PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT
This vehicle is equipped with the Nissan Advanced
Air Bag system. Under some conditions, depending
on pressure detected on the passenger seat and how
the seat belt is used, the front-passenger air bag is
designed to automatically turn OFF. When the frontpassenger air bag is OFF, the front-passenger air bag
status light will illuminate*. For example:
When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the
will
illuminate to indicate that the front-passenger air bag is OFF and will not inflate in
a crash.
When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the

Bag System.
FOLDING DOWN THE REAR SEATS
To fold the seats flat, disconnect and secure the

sub cover (if so equipped).
Fold the seatback forward by either using the pull
strap located on the outside edge of the rear seat or
pulling on the release lever beside the cargo area.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (if so equipped)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this
system does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the
air pressure in the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside
temperature causes lower tire pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Adjust the low tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to
turn the low tire pressure warning light off.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. The light will remain on after the 60
seconds. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME
The light and chime remind you to fasten your seat belts. The light
illuminates whenever the ignition key is turned to the ON or START
position and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is
fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds
unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if the front passenger’s
seat belt is not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is occupied (if so equipped).
For 5 seconds after the ignition switch is in the ON position, the system does not
activate the warning light for the front passenger.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding seat belt usage.
