more than 36°F (2°C). This dehumidifies

the air which helps defog the windshield.

The air recirculation mode automatically

turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn

into the passenger compartment to

further improve the defogging perfor-

mance.
The air conditioner is always on in front

defroster or

mode, regardless of

whether the indicator light is on or off.

NOTE:

The air conditioner system should

be operated for approximately 10

minutes at least once a month. This

helps prevent damage to the air

conditioner system due to the lack

of lubrication.

A visible mist may be seen coming

from the ventilators in hot, humid

conditions as the air is cooled ra-

pidly. This does not indicate a mal-

function.

If the engine coolant temperature

becomes too high, the air recircula-

tion mode will be activated and the

indicator light will come on automa-

tically.

If the engine coolant temperature

gauge indicates engine coolant tem-

perature over the normal range, turn

activated, the vehicles equipped with the

automatic air conditioner and heater may

go into automatic heating or cooling

mode depending on the outside and

cabin temperatures. During this period,

the display and the buttons will be

inoperable until the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position. When the

temperature is low, the rear defroster

and the heated steering wheel (if so

equipped) may also be activated auto-

matically with the activation of the re-

mote engine start function. (See “Remote

engine start” (P.3-23).)

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air

conditioner)

When the engine coolant temperature

and outside air temperature are low, the

air flow from the foot outlets may not

operate for a maximum of 150 seconds.

However, this is not a malfunction. After

the coolant temperature warms up, air

flow from the foot outlets will operate

normally.
The sensors

and

, located on the

instrument panel, help maintain a con-

stant temperature. Do not put anything

on or around the sensors.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains

refrigerant under high pressure. To

avoid personal injury, any air condi-

tioner service should be done only by

an experienced technician with the

proper equipment.

The air conditioner system in your vehicle

is charged with a refrigerant designed

with the environment in mind.

This refrigerant will not harm the

earth’s ozone layer.

However, it may

contribute in a small part to global

warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant

are required when servicing your vehicle’s

air conditioner. Using improper refriger-

ants or lubricants will cause severe da-

mage to the air conditioner system. (See

“Air conditioning system refrigerant and

oil recommendations” (P.10-6).)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service

your environmentally friendly air condi-

tioner system.

In-cabin microfilter

The air conditioner system is equipped

with an in-cabin microfilter. To make sure

the air conditioner heats, defogs, and

ventilates efficiently, replace the filter

according to the specified maintenance

intervals listed in the "9. Maintenance and

schedules" section. It is recommended to

visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow

decreases significantly or if windows fog

up easily when operating the heater or air

conditioner.

— The vehicle is covered with a

car cover.

Be sure that antenna is removed

before the vehicle enters an auto-

matic car wash.

Always properly tighten the an-

tenna rod during installation.

Otherwise, the antenna rod may

break during vehicle operation.

A build up of ice on the antenna

can affect radio performance. Re-

move the ice to restore radio

reception.

When removing snow from the

roof, do not apply strong force to

the antenna. That may cause

broken antenna and roof panel

dent.

When using a high pressure car

wash, keep the high pressure

nozzle away from the antenna.

The seal may be deformed or

damaged.

The radio performance may be

affected if cargo carried on the

roof blocks the radio signal. If

possible, do not put cargo near

the antenna.

When installing a car phone or a CB radio

in your vehicle, be sure to observe the

following precautions, otherwise the new

equipment may adversely affect the elec-

tronic control modules and electronic

control system harness.

WARNING

A cellular phone should not be

used for any purpose while driv-

ing so full attention may be given

to vehicle operation. Some juris-

dictions prohibit the use of cellu-

lar phones while driving.

If you must make a call while your

vehicle is in motion, the hands-

free cellular phone operational

mode (if so equipped) is highly

recommended. Exercise extreme

caution at all times so full atten-

tion may be given to vehicle

operation.

If a conversation in a moving

vehicle requires you to take

notes, pull off the road to a safe

location and stop your vehicle

before doing so.

CAUTION

Keep the antenna as far away as

possible from the electronic con-

trol modules.

Keep the antenna wire more than

8 in (20 cm) away from the

electronic control system har-

ness. Do not route the antenna

wire next to any harness.

Adjust the antenna standing-

wave ratio as recommended by

the manufacturer.

Connect the ground wire from the

CB radio chassis to the body.

Starting and driving

WARNING

Do not leave children or adults

who would normally require the

support of others alone in your

vehicle. Pets should not be left

alone either. They could acciden-

tally injure themselves or others

through inadvertent operation of

the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny

days, temperatures in a closed

vehicle could quickly become

high enough to cause severe or

possibly fatal injuries to people or

animals.

Properly secure all cargo with

ropes or straps to help prevent it

from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

backs. In a sudden stop or colli-

sion, unsecured cargo could

cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gas; it

contains colorless and odorless

carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-

oxide is dangerous. It can cause

unconsciousness or death.

If you suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering the vehicle, drive

with all windows fully open, and

have the vehicle inspected imme-

diately.

Do not run the engine in closed

spaces such as a garage.

Do not park the vehicle with the

engine running for an extended

period of time.

Keep the liftgate closed while

driving, otherwise exhaust gas

could be drawn into the passen-

ger compartment. If you must

drive with the liftgate open, fol-

low these precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation

mode off and set the fan

speed control to the highest

level to circulate the air.

If a special body or other equip-

ment is added for recreational or

other usage, follow the manufac-

turer’s recommendation to pre-

vent carbon monoxide entry into

the vehicle. (Some recreational

vehicle appliances such as stoves,

refrigerators, heaters, etc. may

also generate carbon monoxide.)

The exhaust system and body

should be inspected by a quali-

fied mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while

being serviced.

— You suspect that exhaust

fumes are entering into the

passenger compartment.

— You notice a change in the

sound of the exhaust system.

— You have had an accident

involving damage to the ex-

haust system, underbody, or

rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission

control device installed in the exhaust

system. Exhaust gases in the three-way

catalyst are burned at high temperatures

to help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

The exhaust gas and the exhaust

system are very hot. Keep people,

animals and flammable materials

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING

AND DRIVING

away from the exhaust system

components.

Do not stop or park the vehicle

over flammable materials such as

dry grass, wastepaper or rags.

They may ignite and cause a fire.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded gasoline. De-

posits from leaded gasoline will

seriously reduce the three-way

catalyst’s ability to help reduce

exhaust pollutants.

Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-

functions in the ignition, fuel in-

jection, or electrical systems can

cause overrich fuel flow into the

three-way catalyst, causing it to

overheat. Do not keep driving if

the engine misfires, or if notice-

able loss of performance or other

unusual operating conditions are

detected. Have the vehicle in-

spected. It is recommended you

visit a NISSAN dealer for this

service.

Avoid driving with an extremely

low fuel level. Running out of fuel

could cause the engine to misfire,

damaging the three-way catalyst.

Do not race the engine while

warming it up.

Do not push or tow your vehicle

to start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-

TEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked monthly when cold

and inflated to the inflation pressure

recommended by the vehicle manufac-

turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-

tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has

tires of a different size than the size

indicated on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label, you should deter-

mine the proper tire inflation pressure for

those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle

has been equipped with a Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS) that illumi-

nates a low tire pressure telltale when

one or more of your tires is significantly

under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low

tire pressure telltale illuminates, you

should stop and check your tires as soon

as possible, and inflate them to the

proper pressure. Driving on a significantly

under-inflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-

ciency and tire tread life, and may affect

the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-

ity.
Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if

under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the TPMS low

tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating prop-

erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pressure tell-

tale. When the system detects a malfunc-

t i o n , t h e t e l l t a l e w i l l f l a s h f o r

approximately one minute and then re-

main continuously illuminated. This se-

quence will continue upon subsequent

vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-

tion exists. When the malfunction indica-

tor is illuminated, the system may not be

able to detect or signal low tire pressure

as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including

the installation of replacement or alter-

nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-

erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires

Starting and driving

5-5

5-6

Starting and driving

or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that

the replacement or alternate tires and

wheels allow the TPMS to continue to

function properly.

Additional information

Since the spare tire (if so equipped) is

not equipped with the TPMS, the TPMS

does not monitor the tire pressure of

the spare tire.

The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above 16

MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may

not detect a sudden drop in tire

pressure (for example a flat tire while

driving).

The low tire pressure warning light

does not automatically turn off when

the tire pressure is adjusted. After the

tire is inflated to the recommended

pressure, the vehicle must be driven at

speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to

activate the TPMS and turn off the low

tire pressure warning light. Use a tire

pressure gauge to check the tire

pressure.

The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”

warning appears in the vehicle infor-

mation display when the low tire

pressure warning light is illuminated

and low tire pressure is detected. The

“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning

turns off when the low tire pressure

warning light turns off.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”

warning does not appear if the low

tire pressure warning light illuminates

to indicate a TPMS malfunction.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending

on the heat caused by the vehicle’s

operation and the outside tempera-

ture. Do not reduce the tire pressure

after driving because the tire pressure

rises after driving. Low outside tem-

perature can lower the temperature

of the air inside the tire which can

cause a lower tire inflation pressure.

This may cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate. If the

warning light illuminates in low ambi-

ent temperature, check the tire pres-

sure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tire

pressure warning light” (P.2-14) and “Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-

3).

WARNING

If the low tire pressure warning

light illuminates while driving,

avoid sudden steering maneu-

vers or abrupt braking, reduce

vehicle speed, pull off the road

to a safe location and stop the

vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-

ing with under-inflated tires may

permanently damage the tires

and increase the likelihood of tire

failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in ser-

ious personal injury. Check the

tire pressure for all four tires.

Adjust the tire pressure to the

recommended COLD tire pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading

Information label to turn the low

tire pressure warning light OFF. If

you have a flat tire, replace it with

a spare tire (if so equipped) or

repair it using the emergency tire

p u n c t u r e r e p a i r k i t ( i f s o

equipped) as soon as possible.

(See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for chan-

ging a flat tire.)

Since the spare tire (if so

equipped) is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is

mounted or a wheel is replaced,

the TPMS will not function and

the low tire pressure warning

light will flash for approximately

1 minute. The light will remain on

after 1 minute. Have your tires

replaced and/or TPMS system

reset as soon as possible. It is

recommended you visit a NISSAN

dealer for these services.

Replacing tires with those not

originally specified by NISSAN

could affect the proper operation

of the TPMS.

Do not inject any tire liquid or

aerosol tire sealant into the tires,

as this may cause a malfunction

of the tire pressure sensors

(models without emergency tire

puncture repair kit).

NISSAN recommends using only

Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire

Sealant provided with your vehi-

cle. Other tire sealants may da-

mage the valve stem seal which

can cause the tire to lose air

pressure. Visit a NISSAN dealer

as soon as possible after using

tire repair sealant (models with

emergency tire puncture repair

kit).

CAUTION

The TPMS may not function prop-

e r l y w h e n t h e w h e e l s a r e

equipped with tire chains or the

wheels are buried in snow.

Do not place metalized film or

any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on

the windows. This may cause

poor reception of the signals

from the tire pressure sensors,

and the TPMS will not function

properly.

Some devices and transmitters may tem-

porarily interfere with the operation of

the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate. Some exam-

ples are:

Facilities or electric devices using

similar radio frequencies are near the

vehicle.

If a transmitter set to similar frequen-

cies is being used in or near the

vehicle.

If a computer (or similar equipment) or

a DC/AC converter is being used in or

near the vehicle.

Low tire pressure warning light may

illuminate in the following cases.

If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel

and tire without TPMS.

If the TPMS has been replaced and the

ID has not been registered.

If the wheel is not originally specified

by NISSAN.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert

When adding air to an under-inflated tire,

the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides

visual and audible signals outside the

vehicle to help you inflate the tires to

the recommended COLD tire pressure.

Vehicle set-up:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level

place.

2. Apply the parking brake and place the

shift lever in the P (Park) position (CVT

model) or N (Neutral) position (MT

model).

3. Place the ignition switch in the ON

position. Do not start the engine.

Operation:

1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard in-

dicators will start flashing.

3. When the designated pressure is

reached, the horn beeps once and

the hazard indicators stop flashing.

4. Perform the above steps for each tire.

If the tire is over-inflated more than

approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn

beeps and the hazard indicators flash

3 times. To correct the pressure, push

the core of the valve stem on the tire

briefly to release pressure. When the

pressure reaches the designated

pressure, the horn beeps once.

If the hazard indicator does not flash

within approximately 15 seconds after

starting to inflate the tire, it indicates

that the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert

is not operating.

The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill

Tire Alert under the following condi-

tions:
— If there is interference from an

external device or transmitter

— The air pressure from the inflation

device such as those using a power

socket is not sufficient to inflate the

tire

— If an electrical equipment is being

used in or near the vehicle

— There is a malfunction in the TPMS

system

— There is a malfunction in the horn

or hazard indicators

If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert

does not operate due to TPMS inter-

ference, move the vehicle about 3 ft

(1m) backward or forward and try

again.

If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert is not

working, use a tire pressure gauge.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-

OVER

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a

safe and prudent manner may result

in loss of control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times.

Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-

sive speed, high speed cornering, or

sudden steering maneuvers, because

these driving practices could cause you

to lose control of your vehicle.

As with

any vehicle, a loss of control could

result in a collision with other vehicles

or objects, or cause the vehicle to roll-

over, particularly if the loss of control

causes the vehicle to slide sideways.

attentive at all times, and avoid driving

when tired. Never drive when under the

influence of alcohol or drugs (including

prescription or over-the-counter drugs

which may cause drowsiness). Always

wear your seat belt as outlined in “Seat

belts” (P.1-12) of this manual, and also

instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers.

In a rollover

crash, an unbelted or improperly belted

person is significantly more likely to be

injured or killed than a person properly

wearing a seat belt.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Utility vehicles have a significantly high-

er rollover rate than other types of

vehicles.

They have higher ground clearance than

passenger cars to make them capable of

performing in a variety of on-pavement

and off-road applications. This gives them

a higher center of gravity than ordinary

cars. An advantage of higher ground

clearance is a better view of the road,

allowing you to anticipate problems.

However, they are not designed for cor-

nering at the same speeds as conven-

tional passenger cars any more than low-

slung sports cars are designed to perform

satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If

at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt

maneuvers, particularly at high speeds. As

with other vehicles of this type, failure to

operate this vehicle correctly may result

in loss of control or vehicle rollover. Seat

belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,

an unbelted or improperly belted person

is significantly more likely to be injured or

killed than a person properly wearing a

seat belt.

Be sure to read “Driving safety precau-

tions” (P.5-10).

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

If the right side or left side wheels leave

the road surface, maintain control of the

vehicle by following the procedure below.

Please note that this procedure is only a

general guide. The vehicle must be driven

as appropriate based on the conditions of

the vehicle, road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold

a straight course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow

the vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the

vehicle speed is reduced. Do not

attempt to drive the vehicle back onto

the road surface until vehicle speed is

reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn

the steering wheel until both tires

return to the road surface. When all

tires are on the road surface, steer the

vehicle to stay in the appropriate

driving lane.

If you decide that it is not safe to

return the vehicle to the road sur-

face based on vehicle, road or

traffic conditions, gradually slow

the vehicle to a stop in a safe place

off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can

occur if the tire is punctured or is

damaged due to hitting a curb or pothole.

Rapid air pressure loss can also be caused

by driving on under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the

handling and stability of the vehicle,

especially at highway speeds.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by

maintaining the correct air pressure and

visually inspect the tires for wear and

damage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-29) of

this manual.
If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or

“blows-out” while driving, maintain con-

trol of the vehicle by following the proce-

dure below. Please note that this

procedure is only a general guide. The

vehicle must be driven as appropriate

based on the conditions of the vehicle,

road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase

the chance of losing control of the

vehicle if there is a sudden loss of tire

air pressure. Losing control of the

vehicle may cause a collision and

result in personal injury.

The vehicle generally moves or

pulls in the direction of the flat

tire.

Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

Do not rapidly release the accel-

erator pedal.

Do not rapidly turn the steering

wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold

a straight course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow

the vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe

location off the road and away from

traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gra-

dually stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers

and either contact a roadside emer-

gency service to change the tire or see

“Changing a flat tire (models with

spare tire)” (P.6-4) of this Owner’s

Manual.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND

DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of

alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the

bloodstream reduces 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, alco-

hol 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. 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 underestimate 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 oper-

ate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol,

drugs, or some other physical condition.

DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your vehicle is designed for both normal

and off-road use. However, avoid driving

in deep water or mud as your vehicle is

mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a

conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD)

models are less capable than All-Wheel

Drive (AWD) models for rough road driving

and extrication when stuck in deep snow,

mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:

WARNING

Drive carefully when off the road

and avoid dangerous areas. Every

person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should be seated with

their seat belt fastened. This will
