WARNING

•

Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves 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 slid-
ing or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

•

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It

can

cause

uncon-

sciousness or death.

•

If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the ve-
hicle inspected immediately.

•

Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.

•

Do not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.

•

Keep the rear vent windows, lift-
gates, doors and trunk lids (if so
equipped) closed while driving, oth-
erwise

exhaust

gases

could

drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with one of
these open, follow these precau-
tions:

1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the

air recirculation but-

ton to off and the fan control dial
to high to circulate the air.

•

If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the liftgate or the
body, follow the manufacturer's rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.

•

The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

c. You notice a change in the sound

of the exhaust system.

d. You have had an accident involv-

ing damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.

NOTE:

If the vehicle engine experiences exces-
sive fuel consumption or produces ex-
cessive smoke it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.

THREE-WAY CATALYST (if so
equipped)

The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst
are burned at high temperatures to help
reduce pollutants.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-4

Starting and driving

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

•

The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals

flammable

materials

away

from

the

exhaust

system

components.

•

Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They may
ignite and cause a fire.

CAUTION

•

Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously
reduce the three-way catalyst's abil-
ity to help reduce exhaust pollutants.

•

Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, 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 no-
ticeable loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended that
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, damag-
ing the three-way catalyst.

•

Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.

•

Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation 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 determine 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 illuminates
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 all 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 efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation 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 properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator 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, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

Starting and driving

5-5

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires 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:

• When using a wheel without the TPMS

such as the spare tire, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.

• The TPMS will activate only when the ve-

hicle 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 your tires are
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 information dis-
play 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 opera-
tion and the outside temperature. Do not
reduce the tire pressure after driving be-
cause the tire pressure rises after driving.
Low outside temperature 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, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.

• The Tire and Loading Information label is

located in the driver's door opening.

For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P. 2-20) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P. 6-3).

WARNING

•

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the

electric

medical

equipment

manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.

•

If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving 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 serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to
the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure 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
as soon as possible. (For additional
information, see “Flat tire” (P. 6-3) for
changing a flat tire.)

5-6

Starting and driving

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•

When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be in-
dicated, 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 that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect 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 pres-
sure sensors.

CAUTION

Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception of
the signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, 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 examples are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar

radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies

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.

The 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

WARNING

After rotating the tires, do not use the
Easy-Fill Tire Alert to adjust the tire
pressure. Instead use a gauge to adjust
the tires to the correct pressure in ac-
cordance with Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label.

When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert provides
visual and audible signals outside the ve-
hicle to help you inflate the tires to the rec-
ommended 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.

3. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi-

tion. Do not start the engine.

Operation

1. Add air to the tire.

2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica-

tors will start flashing.

3. When

the

designated

pressure

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
three 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 Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not
operating.

• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill

Tire

Alert

under

the

following

conditions:

– If there is interference from an exter-

nal device or transmitter.

– The air pressure from the inflation

device is not sufficient to inflate the
tire.

– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or

hazard indicators.

– The identification code of the tire

pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.

– The battery of the tire pressure sen-

sor is low.

• If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not oper-

ate due to TPMS interference, move
the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m) backward
or forward and try again.

If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a
tire pressure gauge.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Utility

vehicles

have

significantly

higher 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 ve-
hicles. An advantage of higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road, allow-
ing you to anticipate problems. However,
they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-Wheel
Drive vehicles any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satis-
factorily under off-road conditions. If at all

5-8

Starting and driving

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

possible, avoid sharp turns 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.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

For additional information, see “Driving
safety precautions” (P. 5-10).

AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER

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 excessive
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, 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.

Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the in-
fluence of alcohol or drugs (including pre-
scription or over-the-counter drugs which
may cause drowsiness). Always wear your
seat belt as outlined in “Safety – Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system”
(P. 1-2), 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 person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

While driving, the right side or left side
wheels may unintentionally leave the road
surface. If this occurs, maintain control of
the vehicle by following the procedure be-
low. 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 ac-

celerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

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

vehicle to follow the road while vehicle
speed is reduced. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle back onto the road sur-
face 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 surface 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 han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially
at highway speeds.

Starting and driving

5-9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-
taining the correct air pressure and visually
inspecting the tires for wear and damage.
For additional information, see “Wheels and
tires” (P. 8-34). If a tire rapidly loses air pres-
sure or “blows-out” while driving, maintain
control 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 condi-
tions 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 accelerator
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 ac-

celerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo-

cation off the road and away from traffic
if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-

ally stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire. For additional infor-
mation, see “Changing a flat tire” (P. 6-3).

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream 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 ac-
cident, alcohol can increase the sever-
ity of the injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related collisions. Although the lo-
cal 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

alcohol.

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

DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your NISSAN is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving in
deep water or mud as your NISSAN is
mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.

Remember that 2-Wheel Drive models are
less capable than 4-Wheel Drive (4WD)
models for rough road driving and extrica-
tion when stuck in deep snow or 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 keep you and your
passengers in position when driving
over rough terrain.

•

Do not drive across steep slopes. In-
stead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-road
vehicles can tip over sideways much
more easily than they can forward or
backward.

•

Many hills are too steep for any ve-
hicle. If you drive up them, you may
stall. If you drive down them, you may
not be able to control your speed. If
you drive across them, you may roll
over.

•

Do not shift gears while driving on
downhill grades as this could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.

•

Stay alert when driving to the top of a
hill. At the top there could be a drop-
off or other hazard that could cause
an accident.

•

If your engine stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around. Your
vehicle could tip or roll over. Always
back straight down in R (Reverse)
gear and apply brakes to control your
speed.

•

Heavy braking going down a hill
could cause your brakes to overheat
and fade, resulting in loss of control
and an accident. Apply brakes lightly
and use a low gear to control your
speed.

•

Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough ter-
rain. Properly secure all cargo so it
will not be thrown forward and cause
injury to you or your passengers.

•

Secure heavy loads in the cargo area
as far forward and as low as possible.
Do not equip the vehicle with tires
larger than specified in this manual.
This could cause your vehicle to roll
over.

•

Do not grip the inside or spokes of
the steering wheel when driving off-
road. The steering wheel could move
suddenly and injure your hands. In-
stead drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.

•

Before operating the vehicle, ensure
that the driver and all passengers
have their seat belts fastened.

•

Lower your speed when encounter-
ing strong crosswinds. With a higher
center of gravity, your NISSAN is more
affected by strong side winds. Slower
speeds ensure better vehicle control.

•

Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires, even
with 4WD engaged.

•

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.
