reduces coordination, delays reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving af- ter drinking alcohol increases the likeli- hood of being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others. Addition- ally, if you are injured in an accident, alcohol can increase the severity of the injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. You must not drive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are injured or killed in alcohol related accidents. Although the local laws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all people differently and most people underesti- mate the effects of alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over the counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

IGNITION SWITCH

SSD0392

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The ignition lock is designed so the key cannot be turned to the LOCK position and removed until the selector lever is moved to the P (Park) position.

When removing the key from the ignition switch, make sure the selector lever is in the P (Park) position.

If the selector lever is not returned to the P (Park) position, the key cannot be moved to the LOCK position.

When the key cannot be turned to the LOCK position, proceed as follows to remove the key:

1.Move the selector lever into the P (Park) position.

2.Turn the ignition key slightly toward the ON direction.

3.Turn the key to the LOCK position.

4.Remove the key.

If the key is removed from the ignition switch, the selector lever cannot be moved from P (Park) position. The selector lever can be moved if the ignition switch is in the ON position and the foot brake pedal is depressed.

There is an OFF position ￿1 in between the LOCK and ACC positions. The OFF position is indicated by a “1” on the key cylinder. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the steer- ing wheel is not locked.

In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it must be turned about 1/6 of a turn counterclock- wise from the straight up position.

To lock the steering wheel, turn the key to the LOCK position. Remove the key. To unlock the steering wheel, insert the key and turn it gently while rotating the steer- ing wheel slightly right and left.
