DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re-
duces coordination, delays reaction time
and impairs judgement. Driving after
drinking alcohol increases the likelihood
of being involved in an accident injuring
yourself and others. Additionally, if you
are injured in an accident, alcohol can
increase the severity of the injury.

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

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

WARNING

Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The engine will stop when
the ignition switch is pushed 3 consecu-
tive times in quick succession or the igni-
tion switch is pushed and held for more
than 2 seconds.) If the engine stops while
the vehicle is being driven, this could lead
to a crash and serious injury.

When the ignition switch is pushed without de-
pressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch po-
sition will illuminate as follows:

Push the ignition switch center:

● once to change to ACC.
● two times to change to ON.
● three times to return to OFF.

The ignition switch will automatically return to the
LOCK position when any door is either opened or
closed with the switch in the OFF position.
