During thefirst 1,600 km(1,000 miles),follow these
recommendations toobtain maximum engineperfor-
mance andensure thefuture reliability andeconomy of
your newvehicle. Failuretofollow theserecommenda-
tions mayresult inshortened enginelifeand reduced
engine performance.
. Donot drive ataconstant speed,eitherfastor
slow ,for long periods oftime.
. Do not runtheengine over4,000 rpm(for
gasoline enginemodels) .
. Donot accelerate atfull throttle inany gear.
. Donot start quickly .
. Donot brake hardasmuch aspossible.
. Donot tow atrailer foratleast thefirst 800 km
(500 miles) (forAustralia, NewZealand, South
Africa andEurope) .

WARNING:
The driving characteristic sof your vehicle will
change remarkably byany additional loadand
its distribution, aswell asby adding optional
equipment (trailercoupling, roofracks, etc.).
Y our driving styleandspeed mustbeadjusted
according tothe circumstances. Especiallywhen
carrying heavyloads, yourspeed mustbe
reduced adequately.
. Make surethearea around thevehicle isclear.
. Visually inspecttiresfortheir appearance and
condition. Measureandcheck thetire pressure for
proper inflation.
. Check thatallwindows andlights areclean.
. Adjust theseat andhead restraint positions.
. Adjust theinside andoutside rearview mirror
positions.
. Fasten yourseatbeltandaskallpassengers todo
the same.
. Check thatalldoors areclosed.
. Check theoperation ofthe warning lightswhen
the ignition switchisplaced inthe ªONº position.
. Maintenance itemsinthe ª8.Maintenance anddo-
it-yourselfº sectionshouldbechecked periodi-
cally .

WARNING:
. Never leavechildren oradults whowould
normally requirethesupport ofothers alone
in your vehicle. Petsshould notbeleft alone
either. Theycould unknowingly activate
switches orcontrols andinadvertently be-
come involved inaserious accident and
injure themselves. Onhot, sunny days,
temperatures inaclosed vehicle could
quickly become highenough tocause se-
vere orpossibly fatalillness topeople or
animals.
. Properly secureallluggage tohelp prevent it
from sliding orshifting. Donot place lug-
gage higher thantheseatbacks. Inasudden
stop orcollision, unsecured luggagecould
cause personal injury.
NO TE:
During thefirst fewmonths afterpurchasing a
new vehicle, ifyou smell strong odorsofVolatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs)insidethevehicle,
ventilate thepassenger compartment thor-
oughly. Openallthe windows beforeentering
or while inthe vehicle. Inaddition, whenthe
temperature inthe passenger compartment
rises, orwhen thevehicle isparked indirect
sunlight foraperiod oftime, turnoffthe air
recirculation modeofthe airconditioner and/or
open thewindows toallow sufficient freshair
into thepassenger compartment.

EXHAUST GAS(carbon monoxide)
T32A130827- A70640B2-660A-40EC-AACA-9AE67 3CECA70
WARNING:
. Do not breathe exhaust gas;itcontains
colorless andodorless carbonmonoxide.
Carbon monoxide isdangerous. Itcan cause
unconsciousness ordeath.
. Ifyou suspect thatexhaust fumesare
entering thevehicle, drivewithallwindows
fully open, andhave thevehicle inspected
immediately.
. Donot run theengine inclosed spaces such
as agarage.
. Do not park thevehicle withtheengine
running foranextended periodoftime.
. Keep theback doorclosed whiledriving,
otherwise exhaustgascould bedrawn into
the passenger compartment. Ifyou must
drive withtheback dooropen, follow these
precautions:
Ð Open allthe windows.
Ð Turn theairrecirculation modeoffand
set the fanspeed control tothe highest
level tocirculate theair.
. Ifelectrical wiringorother cable connec-
tions mustpasstoatrailer through theseal
of the back doororthe body, follow the
manufacturer's recommendation toprevent
carbon monoxide entryintothevehicle.
. Ifaspecial bodyorother equipment is
added forrecreational orother usage, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation topre-
vent carbon monoxide entryintothevehicle.
(Some recreational vehicleappliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters,etc.may also
generate carbonmonoxide.)
. The exhaust systemandbody should be
inspected byaqualified mechanic whenever:
Ð Your vehicle israised whilebeing ser-
viced.
Ð You suspect thatexhaust fumesare
entering intothepassenger compart-
ment.
Ð You notice achange inthe sound ofthe
exhaust system.
Ð You have hadanaccident involving
damage tothe exhaust system,under-
body, orrear ofthe vehicle.

WARNING:
. The exhaust gasand theexhaust systemare
very hot.Keep people, animals andflam-
mable materials awayfromtheexhaust
system components.
. Do not stop orpark thevehicle over
flammable materialssuchasdry grass,
wastepaper orrags. Theymayignite and
cause afire.
The three-way catalystisan emission controldevice
installed inthe exhaust system.Exhaust gasinthe
three-way catalystisburned athigh temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION:
. Donot use leaded gasoline. (SeeªRecom-
mended Fluids/lubricants andcapacitiesº
(P .9-2) .)Deposits fromleaded gasoline ser- iously
reduce theability ofthe three-way
catalyst tohelp reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage thethree-way catalyst.
. Keep yourengine tunedup.Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuelinjection, orelectrical
systems maycause overrich fueltoflow into
the three-way catalyst,causingitto over-
heat. Donot keep driving ifthe engine
misfires, orifnoticeable lossofperformance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Havethevehicle inspected
promptly byaNISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving withanextremely lowfuel
level. Running outoffuel could cause the
engine tomisfire, damaging thethree-way
catalyst.
. Donot race theengine whilewarming itup.
. Donot push ortow your vehicle tostart the
engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) (ifequipped)
GUID-B1 F2EA48-882 1-41F0-BDC2-29C235 73CEE3
Each tire,including thespare (ifprovided) ,should be
checked monthlywhencoldandinflated tothe inflation
pressure recommended bythe vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard ortire inflation pressure label.(If
your vehicle hastires ofadifferent sizethan thesize
indicated onthe vehicle placard ortire inflation
pressure label,youshould determine theproper tire
inflation pressure forthose tires.)
As anadded safetyfeature, yourvehicle hasbeen
equipped withaTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) thatilluminates alow tirepressure telltale
when oneormore ofyour tiresissignificantly under-
inflated. Accordingly ,when thelow tirepressure telltale

TPMS resetting
GUID-F7 6622F1-0B9 8-4141-BFE3 -22038209B548
T o keep theTPMS functioning properly,the reset
operation mustbeperformed inthe following cases.
. when thetirepressure isadjusted
. when atire orawheel isreplaced
. when thetires arerotated
Perform thefollowing procedures toreset theTPMS.
1. Park thevehicle inasafe andlevel place.
2. Apply theparking brakeandplace theshift lever in
the ªPº (Park) position.
3. Adjust thetire pressure onallfour tires tothe
recommended COLDtirepressure shownonthe
tire placard. Useatire pressure gaugetocheck
the tirepressure.
4. Place theignition switchinthe ªONº

Utility vehicles haveasignificantly higherroll-
over ratethan other types ofvehicles.
They havehigher ground clearance thanpassenger
cars tomake themcapable ofperforming inawide
variety ofon-pavement andoff-road applications. This
gives themahigher center ofgravity thanordinary cars.
An advantage ofhigher ground clearance isabetter
view ofthe road, allowing youtoanticipate problems.
However, theyarenot designed forcornering atthe
same speeds asconventional passengercarsany
more thanlow-slung sportscarsaredesigned to
perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. Ifat all
possible, avoidsharp turnsorabrupt maneuvers,
particularly athigh speeds. Aswith other vehicles of
this type, failure tooperate thisvehicle correctly may
result inloss ofcontrol orvehicle rollover.
CAUTION:
. Donot drive ondry hard surface roadsin
LOCK mode.
. Driving ondry hard surface roadsinLOCK
mode maycause unnecessary noiseandtire
wear. NISSAN recommends drivinginthe
