Welcome To The World Of NISSAN
Your new Nissan istheresultofour dedication to
produce the finest in safe, reliable and economical transportation. Your vehicle is the product of
a successful worldwide company that manufactures cars and trucks in over 20 countries and
distributes them in 150 nations.
Nissan vehicles are designed and manufactured
by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. which was founded in
Tokyo, Japan in 1933, and Nissan affiliates
worldwide, collectively growing to become the
fourth largest automaker in the world. In addition
to cars and trucks, Nissan also makes textile
machinery, forklift trucks, marine engines, boats
and other products.
Nissan has made a substantial and growing
investment in North America, starting with the
opening of Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. in
1960, continuing with the production of some
cars and trucks at one of the world’s most
modern manufacturing facilities in Smyrna, Tennessee, vehicle styling at Nissan Design International in San Diego, California, and engineering
at Nissan Research and Development in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. and its dealers
employ about 50,000 Americans.
Nissan is also a substantial contributor to the
Canadian economy. Nissan Canada Inc. and its
200 dealers and suppliers employ approximately
4,000 people. These include company employees and the staffs of Nissan dealers all across
Canada. In addition, many Canadians work for
companies that supply Nissan and Nissan dealers with materials and services ranging from the
operation of port facilities and transportation services, to the supply of lubricants, parts and
accessories.

including 10% post-consumer fibers.
Nissan pioneered the use of electronics and
computers in automobiles, and has led the industry in improving both performance and fuel efficiency through new engine designs and the use
of synthetic materials to reduce vehicle weight.
The company has also developed ways to build
quality into its vehicles at each stage of the
production process, both through extensive use
of automation and — most importantly —
through an awareness that people are the central element in quality control.
From the time the parts arrived from our suppliers until you took delivery of your new Nissan,
dozens of checks were made to ensure that only
the best job was being done in producing and
delivering your vehicle. Nissan also takes great
care to ensure that when you take your Nissan to
your dealer for maintenance, the service technician will perform his work according to the quality
standards that have been established by the
factory.
Safety has also been built into your Nissan. As
you know, seat belts are an integral part of the
safety systems that will help protect you and your
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or an
accident. We urge you to use the belts every time
you drive the vehicle.
The Nissan story of growth and achievement
reflects our major goal: to provide you, our
customer, with a vehicle that is built with quality
and craftsmanship — a product that we can be
proud to build and you can be proud to own.

AUTOLAMP SWITCH
Daytime light system
(for Canada)
Even if the headlight control dial is off, the
headlight high beams come on after starting
the engine. The headlights are a little dimmer than they are with the light switch in the
position.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime lights do not
illuminate. The daytime light system illuminates once the parking brake is released.
Thereafter, the daytime lights do not turn off
when using the parking brake at stop signals, etc.
WARNING
When the daytime light system is active, tail lights on your vehicle will not
be on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.
AIC0041
The autolamp system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automatically. The autolamp system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
turn off the headlights when it is light, and
keep the headlights on for up to three
minutes after you turn the key to OFF.
To set the autolamp system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
OFF position. If the headlight switch is in
the ON position, the autolamp system is
canceled.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
1-13
3. Use the autolamp switch to activate the
autolamp feature. It is to the left of the
steering wheel.
4. Turn the switch to the right. A slight
detent in the switch indicates it has been
turned past the OFF position. After the
switch is turned past the detent, the
autolamp automatically turns the lamps
on and off.
Shut-off delay
The length of time the autolamps stay on
after the ignition is turned to OFF depends
on how far the switch is turned to the right.
If the switch is turned all the way to the right,
the headlights stay on about three minutes
after the ignition is turned to OFF. If the
switch is turned only a little way to the right,
the headlights may stay on for less than a
minute.
To turn the autolamp system OFF, turn the
switch all the way to the left until the detent
is felt.
Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the photo sensor located in the top
right side of the instrument panel. The
photo sensor controls the autolamp; if it
is covered, the photo sensor reacts as if
it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate.
