. Drive carefully whenoffthe road andavoid
dangerous areas.Always wearyourseatbelts to
help keep youand your passengers inposition
when driving overrough terrain.
. Before drivingupordown grades, checktheroad
surface forbumps orpotholes. Besure toclimb a
gentle slopeanddescend agentle slope.
. Donot drive across steepslopes. Instead drive
either straight uporstraight downtheslopes. Off-
road vehicles cantipover sideways muchmore
easily thantheycanforward orbackward.
. To prevent damage tothe vehicle, donot drive on
dry and hard surface roadsinthe LOCK mode.
. Many hillsaretoo steep forany vehicle. Ifyou drive
up them, youmay stall. Ifyou drive down them,you
may notbeable tocontrol yourspeed. Ifyou drive
across them,youmay rollover.
. Donot shift gears whiledriving ondownhill grades
as this could cause lossofcontrol ofthe vehicle.
. Besure touse theengine brake.Thefoot brake
performance maybereduced, resultingina
possible accident.
. Stay alertwhen driving tothe top ofahill. Atthe
top there could beadrop-off orother hazard that
could cause anaccident.
. Ifyour engine stallsoryou cannot makeitto the
top ofasteep hill,never attempt toturn around.
Y our vehicle couldtiporroll over. Always back straight
downinreverse gear.Never backdown in
the ªNº (Neutral) positionusingonlythebrake, as
this could cause lossofcontrol.
. Heavy braking goingdownahill could cause the
brakes tooverheat andfade, resulting inloss of
control andanaccident. Applybrakes lightlyand
use alow gear tocontrol yourspeed.
. Unsecured luggagecanbethrown around when
driving overrough terrain. Properly secureitso
that itwill notbethrown forward andcause injury
to you oryour passengers.
. To avoid raising thecenter ofgravity excessively ,
do not exceed therated capacity ofthe roof rack/
gear bin(ifequipped) andevenly distribute the
load. Secure heavyloadsinthe luggage areaas
far forward andaslow aspossible. Donot equip
the vehicle withtires larger thanspecified. This
could cause yourvehicle torollover.
. Donot grip theinside orspokes ofthe steering
wheel whendriving off-road. Thesteering wheel
could jerkand injure yourhands. Instead drivewith
your fingers andthumbs onthe outside ofthe rim.
. Before operating vehicle,ensurethatthedriver
and allpassengers havetheirseatbelts fastened.
. Always drivewiththefloor mats inplace asthe
floor maybecome veryhot.Particular careshould
be taken ifyou arebarefoot.
. Lower yourspeed whenencountering strong
crosswinds. Withitshigher center ofgravity ,your
vehicle ismore affected bygusty sidewinds.
Slower speeds ensurebettervehicle control.
. Donot drive beyond theperformance ofthe
tires even with4WD.
Sudden acceleration, sharpsteering maneu-
vers orsudden braking maycause lossof
control.

Starting anddriving
. Always usetires ofthe same type,size,brand,
construction (bias,bias-belted orradial) ,and
tread pattern onallfour wheels. Installtirechains
on the front wheels whendriving onslippery roads
and drive carefully .
. Besure tocheck thebrakes immediately after
driving inmud orwater. (SeeªBrake systemº (P.5-
57) .)
. Whenever youdrive off-road throughsand,mudor
water asdeep asthe wheel hub,more frequent
maintenance mayberequired. Fordetails, referto
ªMaintenance foroff-road drivingºinaseparate
maintenance booklet.
. Avoid parking yourvehicle onsteep hills.Ifyou get
out ofthe vehicle anditrolls forward, backward or
sideways, youcould beinjured.
TIRES OF4WD MODEL
T32A130 827-AE5C0 353-CEE0-4F0C-8B42-DD14B0 A90107
CAUTION:
. Always usetires ofthe same size,brand,
construction (bias,bias-belted orradial) ,
and tread pattern onallfour wheels. Failure
to do somay result inacircumference
difference betweentiresonthe front and
rear axles which willcause excessive tire
wear andmay damage thetransmission,
transfer caseandrear differential gears.
. Only usespare tiresspecified foreach 4WD
model.
If excessive tirewear isfound, itis recommended that
all four tires bereplaced withtires ofthe same size,
brand, construction andtread pattern. Thetire
pressure andwheel alignment shouldalsobechecked
and corrected asnecessary .Contact aNISSAN
dealer.
Snow tires
T32A1308 27-786C9A7 D-5F2C-4C44-8252-7577B2315AD6
If you install snowtires,theymust alsobethe same
size, brand, construction andtread pattern onallfour
wheels.
Tire inflation pressure
T32A130827-0 2F5E13F-EB84-4678-B8E3-01C847020459
Check thepressures inall tires, including thespare,
with agauge periodically whenataservice station.
Adjust tothe specified pressureifnecessary .Tire
pressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Tire rotation
T32A130 827-BCA9A BF3-4A1A-42 5E-8276-807FAAD0A08E
NISSAN recommends thattires berotated every5,000
km (3,000 miles).Do not include thespare tireinthe
tire rotation.
Tire chain
T32A130 827-61205 7E2-0991-4 824-9088-F4 4BB593B9BC
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe front
wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
Do not drive withtirechains onpaved roadswhich are
clear ofsnow .Driving withchains insuch conditions
can cause damage tothe various mechanisms ofthe
vehicle duetosome overstress.

. The VDC/ESP systemisnot asubstitute for
winter tiresortire chains onasnow covered
road.
The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)/Electronic Stabi-
lity Program (ESP)system usesvarious sensors to
monitor driverinputs andvehicle motion. Undercertain
driving conditions, theVDC/ESP systemhelpsto
perform thefollowing functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheelslipon
one slipping drivewheel sopower istransferred to
a non slipping drivewheel onthe same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine outputto
reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle speed
(traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheelsand
engine outputtohelp thedriver maintain controlof
the vehicle inthe following conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow the
steered pathdespite increased steeringinput)
Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin duetocertain
road ordriving conditions) .
The VDC/ESP systemcanhelp thedriver tomaintain
control ofthe vehicle, butitcannot prevent lossof
vehicle control inall driving situations. When
theVDC/ESP systemoperates, theVDC/ESP
warning light
in the meter flashes sonote the
following:
. The road maybeslippery orthe system may
determine someaction isrequired tohelp the
vehicle onthe steered path.
. You may feelapulsation inthe brake pedal and
hear anoise orvibration fromunder thehood. This
is normal andindicates thattheVDC/ESP system
is working properly.
. Adjust yourspeed anddriving tothe road
conditions.
If a malfunction occursinthe system, theVDC/ESP
warning light
illuminates inthe meter. TheVDC/
ESP system automatically turnsoff.
The VDC/ESP OFFswitch isused toturn offthe VDC/
ESP system. TheVDC/ESP offindicator light
illuminates toindicate theVDC/ESP systemisoff.
When theVDC/ESP OFFswitch isused toturn offthe
system, theVDC/ESP systemstilloperates toprevent
one drive wheel fromslipping bytransferring powerto
a non slipping drivewheel. TheVDC/ESP warninglight
flashes ifthis occurs. Allother VDC/ESP
functions areoffand theVDC/ESP warninglight
will not flash. TheVDC/ESP systemisauto-
matically resettoon when theignition switchisplaced
in the ªOFFº position thenback tothe ªONº position.
