Bluetooth®is a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system offers a hands-free facility for your
mobile telephone to enhance driving comfort.
In order to use your mobile phone with the Blue-

vated on the registered mobile phone (via Blue-
tooth
®) when it comes into range.
A notification message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming
call is being received, as well as when a call is initi-
ated.
When a call is active, the audio system, microphone
(located in the ceiling in front of the rear view mir-
ror), and steering wheel switches enable hands-free
communication.
If the audio system is in use at the time, the radio,
CD, or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay
muted until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
®system may be not be able to con-
nect with your mobile phone for the following rea-
sons:
•The mobile phone is too far away from the ve-
hicle.
•The Bluetooth®mode on your mobile phone has
not been activated.
•Your mobile phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth®system of the audio unit.
•The mobile phone does not support Bluetooth®
technology (BT Core v2.0).
NOTE
•For models with NISSAN Connect (Audio with
Navigation system) see the separately pro-
vided Owner’s Manual.
•For details, see your mobile phone’s Owner’s
Manual.
•For assistance with your mobile phone inte-
gration, please visit your local NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•To prevent luggage or packages from sliding
forward during braking, do not stack anything
in the cargo area higher than the seatbacks.
•Secure all cargo with ropes or straps to pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting.
•Failure to follow proper seating instructions
see “Seats” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion, could result in serious personal injury in
an accident or sudden stop.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colourless and odourless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas and can
cause unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open and have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
•Do not run the engine in closed spaces, such
as a garage, for any longer than is absolutely
necessary.
•Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for any extended length of time.
•Keep the back door closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must drive in
this way for some reason, take the following
steps:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Manual air conditioner equipped models:
Move the air intake lever to the
posi-
tion.
Automatic air conditioner equipped mod-
els: Switch on the outside air mode.
3) Set the fan speed control to the maximum
position to circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to a trailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
•When a vehicle has been stopped in an open
area with its engine running for any significant
length of time, turn the fan on to force outside
air into the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop whenever:
– the vehicle is raised for service.
– you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
– you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
– you have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3

WARNING
•Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
•Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The diesel particulate filter reduces the amount of
materials that affect the environment by collecting
the particulate matter included in exhaust gases.
Particulate matter that has accumulated in the filter
is automatically burned and converted into harmless
substances while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The filter becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
If the diesel particulate filter warning light comes on,
it indicates that particulate matter has accumulated
in the filter to the specified limit. Particulate matter
collected in the filter cannot be burned under low
speed driving conditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a
high speed (more than approximately 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the filter warning light goes out. Always
conform to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the filter warning light will go
out.
WARNING
•If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the diesel particulate filter warn-
ing light illuminated, the fail-safe will limit en-
gine revolutions and/or torque. In this case,
the engine oil must be replaced and the pro-
cess of burning accumulated particulate mat-
ter must be carried out by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
•Use engine oil for diesel particulate filter
equipped models. For details, see “Capaci-
ties and recommended fuel/lubricants” in the
“9. Technical information” section.Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-
sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you
should be the one who knows best how to drive in
the given circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is
cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-
ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after
starting the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
Loads, their distribution and the attachment of equip-
ment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers, etc.)
will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle
considerably. Driving style and speed must be ad-
justed accordingly.
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
•Avoid starting off, accelerating and stopping sud-
denly.
•Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
•Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in
front.
•When water covers the road surface in puddles,
small streams, etc, REDUCE SPEED to prevent
aquaplaning which will cause skidding and loss
of control. Worn tyres increase this risk.
DRIVING UNDER WINTER
CONDITIONS
•Drive safely.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(where fitted)CARE WHEN DRIVING

•Avoid starting off, accelerating or stopping sud-
denly.
•Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
•Avoid sudden steering actions.
