WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-DA
system could result in serious injury or
death.

•

The I–DA system is only a warning to
inform the driver of a potential lack
of driver attention or drowsiness. It
will not steer the vehicle or prevent
loss of control.

•

The I–DA system does not detect and
provide an alert of the driver’s lack of
attention

fatigue

every

situation.

•

It is the driver’s responsibility to:

–

stay alert,

–

drive safely,

–

keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane,

–

be in control of the vehicle at all
times,

–

avoid driving when tired,

–

avoid distractions (texting, etc.).

The I–DA system helps alert the driver if the
system detects a lack of attention or driv-
ing fatigue.

The system monitors driving style and
steering behavior over a period of time,
and it detects changes from the normal
pattern. If the system detects that driver
attention is decreasing over a period of
time, the system uses audible and visual
warnings to suggest that the driver take a
break.

INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS
(I-DA)

INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS
SYSTEM OPERATION

If the system detects driver fatigue or that
driver attention is decreasing, the mes-
sage “Take a break?” appears in the vehicle
information display and a chime sounds
when the vehicle is driven at speeds above
37 mph (60 km/h).

The system continuously monitors driver
attention and can provide multiple warn-
ings per trip.

The system resets and starts reassessing
driving style and steering behavior when
the ignition switch is cycled from the ON to
the OFF position and back to the ON
position.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE

Starting and driving

5-105

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.

Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake
Pedal Application

• Avoid rapid starts and stops.
• Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible.

• Maintain constant speed while com-

muting and coast whenever possible.

Maintain Constant Speed

• Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.

• Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops.

• Maintaining a steady speed can mini-

mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.

Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds

• Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.

• Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.

• Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.

Drive

Economical

Speeds

and

Distances

• Observing the speed limit and not ex-

ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.

• Maintaining a safe following distance

behind other vehicles reduces unnec-
essary braking.

• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate

changes in speed permits reduced
braking

and

smooth

acceleration

changes.

• Select a gear range suitable to road

conditions.

Use Cruise Control

• Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steady speed.

• Cruise control is particularly effective

in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.

Plan for the Shortest Route

• Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to save time.

Avoid Idling

• Shutting off your engine when safe for

stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.

Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads

• Automated passes permit drivers to

use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.

Winter Warm Up

• Limit idling time to minimize impact to

fuel economy.

• Vehicles typically need no more than

30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.

• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat-

ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.

10.

Keeping your Vehicle Cool

• Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area

the

shade

whenever

possible.

• When entering a hot vehicle, opening

the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

5-106

Starting and driving

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduled

maintenance.

• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-

sure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.

• Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im-

proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

• For vehicles equipped with

, use 4H

or 4L position only when necessary.
4-Wheel

Drive

operation

lowers

fuel

economy.

• Use the recommended viscosity engine

oil. For additional information, see “Engine
oil

and

oil

filter

recommendations”

(P. 10-7).

WARNING

•

For 4WD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result
in serious vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury.

•

Do not attempt to test a 4WD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamom-
eters used by some states for emis-
sions testing) or similar equipment
even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with 4WD
before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment
may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected

vehicle

movement

which could result in serious vehicle
damage or personal injury.

CAUTION

•

Do not drive the vehicle in the 4H or
4LO position on dry hard surface
roads. Driving on dry, hard surfaces in
4H or 4LO may cause unnecessary
noise, tire wear and increased fuel
consumption.
If the 4WD vehicle information dis-
play warning message turns on
when you are driving on dry hard sur-
face roads:

–

In the 4H position, shift the 4WD

shift switch to 2WD.

–

In the 4LO position, stop the ve-

hicle, move the shift lever to the N
(Neutral) position with the brake
pedal depressed, and shift the
4WD shift switch to 2WD.

•

If the vehicle information display
warning message is still on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Starting and driving

*1: Before moving the shift lever from N (Neutral), wait until the 4LO indicator stays on steady. This indicates that the 4WD shift procedure is completed and
the transfer gear is correctly set in the 4LO position. If the vehicle is shifted into gear before the indicator is on steady, the transfer gear may grind, not engage
correctly or stay in the N (Neutral) position.

- If the 4WD vehicle information display warning message illuminates, perform the following procedure to return the transfer case to the correct operating
condition.

1. Turn off the engine by placing the ignition switch in the OFF position.

2. Start the engine.

- Check that the 4WD vehicle information display warning message turns off. If the warning message in the vehicle information display stays on, have the
system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

3. Apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.

4. With the brake pedal depressed, move the 4WD shift switch to the desired mode.

- Be sure to wait until the transfer gear change completes before shifting the shift lever from the N (Neutral) position.

*2: While changing in and out of 4LO, the ignition switch must be in the ON position and the vehicle's engine must be running for a shift to take place and for the
4WD shift and 4LO position indicators to be operable. Otherwise, the shift will not take place and no indicators will be on or flashing.

*3: Make sure the transfer 4LO position indicator turns on when you shift the 4WD shift switch to 4LO. The

indicator light will also turn on when 4LO

is selected. For additional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P. 5-120).

Starting and driving

5-109

The transfer case 4WD shift switch is used
to select either 2WD or 4WD depending on
the driving conditions. There are three
types of drive modes available: 2WD, 4H and
4LO.

The 4WD shift switch electronically controls
the transfer case operation. Rotate the
switch to move between each mode: 2WD,
4H and 4LO.

To change into or out of 4LO, the vehicle
MUST be stationary, move the shift lever
to N (Neutral), and depress the brake
pedal. The switch must be pushed and
turned to select 4LO.

WARNING

•

When parking, apply the parking
brake before stopping the engine
and make sure that the 4WD shift in-
dicator is on and the Automatic
Transmission Park (ATP) warning
light goes off. Otherwise, the vehicle
could unexpectedly move even if the
A/T is in the P (Park) position.

•

The 4LO indicator must stop blinking
and remain illuminated or turn off
before shifting the transmission into
gear. If the shift lever is shifted from
the N (Neutral) position to any other
gear when the 4LO indicator is blink-
ing,

the

vehicle

may

move

unexpectedly.

CAUTION

•

Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4LO and 4H while driving.

•

The 4H position provides greater
traction. Avoid excessive speed, as it
will cause increased fuel consump-
tion and higher oil temperatures, and
could damage drivetrain compo-
nents. Speeds over 62 mph (100
km/h) in 4H is not recommended.

•

The 4LO position provides maximum
power and traction. Avoid raising ve-
hicle speed excessively, as the maxi-
mum speed is approximately 31 mph
(50 km/h).

•

When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the 2WD or 4H posi-
tion. Do not move the 4WD shift
switch

when

making

turn

reversing.

•

Do not shift the 4WD shift switch (be-
tween 2WD and 4H) while driving on
steep downhill grades. Use the en-
gine brake and low A/T gears (M1 or
M2) for engine braking.

•

Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
(between 2WD and 4H) with the rear
wheels spinning.

•

Do not drive on dry hard surface
roads in the 4H or 4LO position. Driv-
ing on dry hard surfaces in 4H or 4LO
may cause unnecessary noise and
tire wear. NISSAN recommends driv-
ing in the 2WD position under these
conditions.

•

The 4WD transfer case may not be
shifted between 4H and 4LO at low
ambient

temperatures

and

the

transfer 4LO position indicator may
blink even when the 4WD shift switch
is shifted. After driving for a while
you can change the 4WD transfer
case between 4H and 4LO.

5-110

Starting and driving

When driving on rough roads,
• Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO.
• Drive carefully according to the road sur-

face conditions.

When the vehicle is stuck,
• Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO.
• Place stones or wooden blocks under the

tires to free the vehicle.

• Use the Electronic locking rear differential

(E-Lock) system (if so equipped). For addi-
tional information, see “Electronic locking
rear differential (E-lock) system” (P. 5-113).

• If it is difficult to free the vehicle, rock the

vehicle back and forth between reverse
and drive gears.

• If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, place

stones or wooden blocks under the tires.
Then try the recovery procedures above.
Tire chains may be effective.

CAUTION

•

Do not spin the tires excessively. Tires
will sink deep into the mud, making it
difficult to free the vehicle.

•

Avoid shifting gears with the engine
running at high speeds as this may
cause malfunction.

4WD shift switch operations

• Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the

2WD, 4H or 4LO position, depending on
driving conditions.

•

If the 4WD shift switch is operated
while making a turn, accelerating or
decelerating or if the key switch is
turned off while in the 4H or 4LO, you
may feel a jolt. This is not abnormal.

•

You may hear some noise as the sys-
tem shifts or engages. This is not
abnormal.

CAUTION

•

When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the 2WD or 4H posi-
tion. Do not move the 4WD shift
switch

when

making

turn

reversing.

•

Do not shift the 4WD shift switch
while

driving

steep

downhill

grades. Use the engine brake and low
automatic transmission gears (M1 or
M2) for engine braking.

•

Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
with the rear wheels spinning.

•

Before placing the 4WD shift switch
in the 4H position from 2WD, ensure
the vehicle speed is less than 62 mph
(100 km/h). Failure to do so can dam-
age the 4WD system.

•

Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4LO and 4H while driving.

The E-Lock system can provide additional
traction and should only be used when a
vehicle has become or is becoming stuck.
This system operates by electronically
“locking” the two rear drive wheels to-
gether, allowing them to turn at the same
speed. The system is used when it is not
possible to free a stuck vehicle even when
using the 4LO position (4-Wheel Drive
vehicles).

When added traction is required, activate
the E-Lock system by pushing the switch
on. For additional information, see “Elec-
tronic locking rear differential (E-Lock) sys-
tem switch” (P. 2-60). Once the system fully
engages, the indicator light in the instru-
ment panel will remain on. When the sys-
tem is activated, both rear wheels will en-
gage, providing added traction.

The rear wheels may momentarily slip or
move to engage the system, and the sys-
tem will only engage up to approximately 4
mph (7 km/h). Once the vehicle is free, the
system should be turned off and driving
resumed.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is dis-
abled and the ABS warning light illumi-
nates when the E-Lock system is on.

WARNING

•

Never leave the E-Lock system on
when driving on paved or hard-
surfaced roads. Turning the vehicle
may result in the rear wheels slipping
and result in an accident and per-
sonal injury. After using the E-Lock
system to free the vehicle, turn the
system off.

•

Use the E-Lock system only in an
emergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even when using
4LO. Never use the E-Lock system on
a slippery road surface such as snow
or ice surface. Using the E-Lock sys-
tem when driving in these road con-
ditions

may

cause

unexpected

movement of the vehicle during en-
gine braking, accelerating or turning,
which may result in an accident and
serious personal injury.

•

Observe the above warnings. Other-
wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an ac-
cident and serious personal injury.
