Nissan Pathfinder (2018 year). Instruction - part 10

TOW mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driv-
ing the vehicle in the TOW mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not
cause

any

damage.

However,

fuel

economy

may

reduced,

and

the

transmission/engine driving characteris-
tics may feel unusual.

Push the TOW mode switch to activate
TOW mode. The indicator light on the in-
strument panel illuminates when TOW
mode is selected. Push the TOW mode
switch again to turn TOW mode OFF.

TOW mode is automatically canceled when the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.

The E-call (SOS) switch is used in combina-
tion with a NissanConnect

scription) reach a response specialist that
will provide assistance based on the situa-
tion described by the vehicle’s occupant.

LUGGAGE HOOKS

When securing items using luggage hooks
located on the side finisher do not apply a
load over more than 6.5 lbs. (29 N) to a
single hook.

The luggage hooks that are located on the
floor should have loads less than 110 lbs.
(490 N) to a single hook.

The luggage hooks can be used to secure
cargo with ropes or other types of straps.

WARNING

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.

∙ Use suitable ropes and hooks to se-

cure cargo.

∙ Never allow anyone to ride in the lug-

gage area. It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area inside of a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.

∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area

of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.

∙ The child restraint top tether strap

may be damaged by contact with
items in the cargo area. Secure any
items in the cargo area. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.

∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a

seat and using a seat belt properly.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)

Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails. Cross bars must be installed be-
fore applying load/cargo/luggage to the
roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN acces-
sory cross bars are available through a
NISSAN dealer. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for additional informa-
tion.

The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 165 lbs. (74 kg), however do not ex-
ceed the accessory cross bars load capac-
ity.

Instruments and controls

Be careful that your vehicle does not ex-
ceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. cer-
tification label (located on the driver’s door
pillar). For additional information regarding
GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading
information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.

WARNING

∙ Always install the cross bars onto the

roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.

∙ Drive extra carefully when the vehicle

is loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.

∙ Heavy loading of the cross bars has

the potential to affect the vehicle sta-
bility and handling during sudden or
unusual handling maneuvers.

∙ Roof rack cross bars should be evenly

distributed.

∙ Do not exceed maximum roof rack

cross bars load capacity.

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shifting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.

POWER WINDOWS

WARNING

∙ Make sure that all passengers have

their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before closing
the windows. Use the window lock
switch to prevent unexpected use of
the power windows.

∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

The power windows operate when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position, or
for a period of time after the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position. If the driver’s
or passenger’s door is opened during this
period of time, the power to the windows is
canceled.
