●If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
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 pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion 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, re-
fer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, 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.
Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting. ●
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.
CAUTION
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 temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate.
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. FCC Notice

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 ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping
distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear
a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the
ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The
brake system then operates normally but without
anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above3-6mph(5
- 10 km/h). The speed varies according to road
conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap-
plies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action
is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from
the actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating properly.
However, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care is re-
quired while driving.The VDC system uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain
driving conditions, the VDC system helps to per-
form the following functions:
● Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.
● Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function) .
● Controls brake pressure at individual wheels
and engine output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the following condi-
tions:
– understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased steer-
ing input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions)
The VDC system can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of
vehicle control in all driving situations.

Locating the emergency tire repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture repair kit
located under the passenger seat. The repair kit
consists of the following items:
1. Tire sealant bottle
2. Air compressor
3. Speed restriction sticker NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod may
not be equipped as standard. These parts
may be dealer options. Contact a NISSAN
dealer about obtaining these parts. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Changing a
flat tire” in the “In case of emergencies”
section of this manual.
Before using the emergency tire repair
kit
The emergency tire repair kit is not appropriate
for the following situations. It will be necessary to
contact a professional towing service in the fol-
lowing situations:
● The emergency repair kit’s shelf life has ex-
pired.
● Cuts or punctures exceed approximately
0.2 in (4 mm) .
● The tire sidewall is damaged.
● The tire is extremely low on air.
● The tire has come off of the inside or outside
of the wheel.
● The wheel is damaged.
● The tire is punctured more than once.
Performing emergency repairs
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when
using the tire repair compound.
●Swallowing the compound is danger-
ous. Immediately drink as much water
as possible and seek prompt medical
assistance.
● Rinse well with lots of water if com-
pound comes into contact with skin or
eyes. If irritation persists seek prompt
medical attention.
● Keep the repair compound out of reach
of children.
● The emergency repair compound may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Have the tire
pressure sensor replaced as soon as
possible.
6-6In case of emergency

If the tire pressure does not increase to26 psi
(180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire may be
seriously damaged and the tire cannot be re-
paired with this tire repair kit. Under this
circumstance, contact a professional towing ser-
vice for assistance.
9. When the tire pressure is at the specified pressure, turn the air compressor off. If the
tire cannot be inflated to the specified pres-
sure, the air compressor can be turned of at
the minumum 26 psi (180 kPa) . Remove the
power plug from the outlet and quickly re-
move the hose from the tire valve. Attach the
protective cap and valve cap. Properly stow
the emergency tire repair kit in the cargo
area.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 mph
(80 km/h).
11. After driving, make sure that the air com- pressor switch is in the OFF position, then
screw the hose into the tire valve. Check the
pressure with the pressure gauge. Tempo-
rary repair is complete if the tire pressure
does not drop.
Make sure that the tire pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the tire placard
before driving.CAUTION
If tire pressure falls below 18 psi (130 kPa)
and remains low, even after repeating
steps 5-11, the tire is not repairable using
the tire emergency repair kit. Stop driving
the vehicle and contact a professional
towing service.
● It is recommended to replace the repaired
tire with a new tire.
● Although the wheel can be reused by remov-
ing the repair compound, the tire valve must
be replaced.
● The remaining repair compound is not us-
able and must be replaced.
● When attempting to repair the punctured tire
at a later time the puncture may not be
detectable. It is important to carefully moni-
tor the tire pressure of the repaired tire. If the
tire should continually lose air pressure you
will need to have the tire replaced.
After tire repair
See a NISSAN dealer for tire repair or replace-
ment as soon as possible.
WARNING
● After using Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, do not
drive the vehicle at speeds faster than
80 km/h (50 mph) .
● Immediately after using Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture,
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer to
inspect, and repair or replace the tire.
The Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle without
a permanent tire repair can lead to a
crash.
● If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, a NISSAN
dealer will also need to replace the
TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or
replacing the tire.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the vinyl surfaces
with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Gently dab or tap soiled cloth areas with a moist,
soft cloth. Before using any fabric protector, read
the manufacturer’s recommendations. Some fab-
ric protectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Immediately clean spills on water repellent sur-
faces by wiping with soft, dry cloth.
Use a cloth dampened only with water to clean
the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners on the seat. This can dam-
age the seat or occupant classification
sensor (weight sensor) . This can also af-
fect the operation of the air bag system
and result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
●Never use benzine, thinner or any simi-
lar material.
● Never use fabric protectors unless rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
● Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may dam-
age the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener,
take the following precautions:
● Hanging-type air fresheners can cause per-
manent discoloration when they contact ve-
hicle interior surfaces. Place the air fresh-
ener in a location that allows it to hang free
and not contact an interior surface.
● Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the vents. These products can cause imme-
diate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions before using the air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that
may result in a collision, injury or death.
● NEVER place a floor mat on top of an-
other floor mat in the driver front
position.
● Properly position the mats in the floor-
well using the floor mat positioning aid.
For additional information, refer to
Floor mat positioning aid in this
section.
The use of floor mats can extend the life of your
vehicle vinyl flooring and make it easier to clean
the interior. Mats should be maintained with regu-
lar cleaning and replaced if they become exces-
sively worn.

Care of wheels
●Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
● Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.
● Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
● Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
● NISSAN recommends waxing the road
wheels to protect against road salt in areas
where it is used during winter.
Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emer-
gency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the vehicle
instead of a spare tire. It can be used to tempo-
rarily repair minor tire punctures.
If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility that
can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may cause a mal-
function of the tire pressure sensor and cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illuminate.
For additional information, refer to “Flat tire” in the
“In case of emergency” section of this manual.
