SSS0978
The supplemental side-impactairbag islocated atthe
outside ofthe front seats' seatbacks.
The supplemental side-impactairbag system isdesigned
toinflate inhigher severity sidecollisions,
although itmay inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity side
impact. Itmay notinflate incertain sidecollisions.
V ehicle damage (orlack ofit) isnot always an
indication ofproper supplemental side-impactairbag
system operation.

T32A130 827-8A1E31 18-ECDC-4E98-AD6C-E E4CF12DB35C
The supplemental curtainside-impact airbag is
located atthe roof rails.
The supplemental curtainside-impact airbag system is
designed toinflate inhigher severity sidecollisions,
although itmay inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity side
impact. Itmay notinflate incertain sidecollisions.
V ehicle damage (orlack ofit) isnot always an

SRS AIRBAG DEPL OYMENT CONDITIONS
T32A1308 27-183F844 1-8C2D-4047 -8629-31F765F616F3
The SRS airbags activate inthe event ofafront orside
impact inwhich thevehicle occupants maybeseverely
injured evenifthey arewearing theseat belts properly .
They maynotactivate whenthecrash energy is
absorbed and/ordistributed bythe vehicle body.
V ehicle damage (orlack ofit) isnot always an
indication ofproper SRSairbag system operation.

The supplemental front-impactairbag system is
designed toinflate inhigher severity frontalcollisions.
Some examples areshown inthe following
illustrations.
JVR0151X
The supplemental front-impactairbag system will
deploy inthe event ofan impact whichexceeds a25
km/h frontal collision withasolid wallthatdoes not

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

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

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

and always drivecarefully.
. Donot modify thevehicle's suspension. If

Starting anddriving
BRAKE ASSIST
GUID-FAF 01B0B-7CB4-4828-9 4D6-A67EB1907396
When theforce applied tothe brake pedalexceeds a
certain level,theBrake Assist isactivated generating
greater braking forcethanaconventional brake
booster evenwithlight pedal force.
WARNING:
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist braking
operation andisnot acollision warningor
avoidance device.Itis the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, drivesafely andbeincontrol ofthe
vehicle atall times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
T32A130 827-683C35 C0-5BE2-4929-8230-2F12153688C 3
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are
using tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels. Ð
When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-36) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
T32A130 827-E23B0 C95-6959-4 B5D-B45D-1644E60AD E90
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
Self-test feature
T32A1308 27-DA8726AA -9312-4804-BB85-3 097CB09683D
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesamalfunction,
itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe meter. Thebrake system then
operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
T32A130 827-E5A825 64-C0DC-4321-8A21-CC D22D746C00
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.
