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! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter, pre-
scription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your
ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alco-
hol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

WARNING

Never remove or turn the key to the

LOCK position while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will lock (for models with a
steering lock mechanism). This may
cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle and could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.

Never place the ignition switch in the

LOCK position while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will lock (for models with a
steering lock mechanism). This may
cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle and could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (CVT) (if so
equipped)

The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch cannot be turned to the LOCK position
until the shift selector is moved to the P (Park)
position.

● When moving the ignition switch to the

LOCK position, make sure the shift selector
is in the P (Park) position.

● When removing the key from the ignition

switch, make sure the shift selector is in the
P (Park) position.
