REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The front air bags, knee air bags, side air
bags, curtain air bags and pretensioners
are designed to activate on a one-time-
only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after
inflation has occurred. These systems
should be repaired and/or replaced as
soon as possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When maintenance work is required on
the vehicle, the front air bags, knee air
bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
pretensioners and related parts should
be pointed out to the person conducting
the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position
when working under the hood or inside
the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, knee air bag,
side air bag or curtain air bag has
inflated, the air bag module will
not function again and must be
replaced. Additionally, the acti-
vated pretensioner must also be
replaced. The air bag module and pretensioner should be replaced.
It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
However, the air bag module and
pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
. The front air bag, knee air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag and
the pretensioner should be in-
spected if there is any damage
to the front end or side portion of
the vehicle. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. If you need to dispose of a sup-
plemental air bag or pretensioner
or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN deal-
er. Correct supplemental air bag
and pretensioner system dispo-
sal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Man-
ual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
. If there is an impact to your
vehicle from any direction, your
Occupant Classification Sensor
(OCS) should be checked to verify
it is still functioning correctly. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
The OCS should be checked even if no air bags deploy as a result of
the impact. Failure to verify prop-
er OCS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment re-
sulting in injury or death.

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warn-
ing light (4WD models)
Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. It turns off soon after the engine is
started.
If the 4WD system malfunctions, or the
diameter of the front and the rear wheels
are different, the warning light will either
remain illuminated or blink. (See “NISSAN
all-mode 4WD®” (P.5-124).)
CAUTION
. If the warning light comes on
while driving there may be a
malfunction in the 4WD system.
Reduce the vehicle speed and
have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. If the 4WD warning light turns on
when driving on dry or hard
surfaced roads: — in the 4H(I) position, shift the
4WD shift switch to AUTO
— in the 4L(O) position, stop the vehicle and shift the transmis-
sion shift lever to the N (Neu-
tral) position and shift the
4WD shift switch to AUTO
. If the warning light is still on after
the above operations, have your
vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires
except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, this light illuminates for
about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warning also appears in the vehicle information
display. If you select the tire pressure
information in the vehicle information
display, the Low Pressure information will
be displayed. The tire pressure for each
tire will also be displayed.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automa-
tically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must
be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a
tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warning
appears each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle
information display” (P.2-20), “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) ” (P.6-3).

TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates
to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.If the light does not illuminate
with the ignition switch placed in
the ON position, have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. If the light illuminates or Low
Pressure information is displayed
on the monitor screen while driv-
ing, avoid sudden steering man-
euvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv- ing 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 ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check.
Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. (See “Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-
36).) Many factors including tire in-
flation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced.
Setting the tire replacement indica-
tor for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement
indicator as a guide only and always
perform regular tire checks. Failure
to perform regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to
a collision, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose con-
trol of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is neces-
sary for proper steering opera-
tion and comfort. The driver’s air
bag inflates with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive ser-
ious or fatal injuries from the air
bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel.
Always use the seat belts.

CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. De-
posits from leaded gasoline ser-
iously reduce the three-way
catalyst’s ability to help reduce
exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel in-
jection, or electrical systems can
cause overrich fuel flow into the
three-way catalyst, causing it to
overheat. Do not keep driving if
the engine misfires, or if notice-
able loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while
warming it up. .
Do not push or tow your vehicle
to start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure tell-
tale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then re-
main continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indica-
tor is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
Starting and driving5-5

5-6Starting and driving
Additional information
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare
tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light
does not automatically turn off when
the tire pressure is adjusted. After the
tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
. The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warn-
ing appears in the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low
tire pressure is detected. The “Tire
Pressure Low Add Air” warning turns
off when the low tire pressure warn-
ing light turns off.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warn-
ing appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warn-
ing does not appear if the low tire
pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle’s
operation and the outside tempera-
ture. Do not reduce the tire pressure
after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside tem-
perature can lower the temperature
of the air inside the tire which can
cause a lower tire inflation pressure.
This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambi-
ent temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires.
. You can also check the pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the
vehicle information display. (See “10.
Tire pressures” (P.2-38).)
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-16) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.6-
3).WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates or Low Pressure
information is displayed on the
monitor screen while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneu-
vers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing 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 ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides
visual and audible signals outside the
vehicle to help you inflate the tires to
the recommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and levelplace.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard in- dicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and
the hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
. If the tire is over-inflated more than
approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
3 times. To correct the pressure, push
the core of the valve stem on the tire
briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated
pressure, the horn beeps once. .
If the hazard indicator does not flash
within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
is not operating.
. The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill
Tire Alert under the following condi-
tions:
— If there is interference from an
external device or transmitter
— The air pressure from the inflation device such as those using a power
socket is not sufficient to inflate the
tire
— If an electrical equipment is being used in or near the vehicle
— There is a malfunction in the TPMS system
— There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators
. If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
does not operate due to TPMS inter-
ference, move the vehicle about 3 ft
(1m) backward or forward and try
again.
If the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert is not
working, use a tire pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER
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 exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or
sudden steering maneuvers, because
these driving practices could cause you
to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, a loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles
or objects, or cause the vehicle to roll-
over, particularly if the loss of control
causes the vehicle to slide sideways. Be
attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs (including
prescription or over-the-counter drugs
which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the
“Seat belts” (P.1-20), and also instruct your
passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted or improperly belted

person is significantly more likely to be
injured or killed than a person properly
wearing a seat belt.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly high-
er rollover rate than other types of
vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than
passenger cars to make them capable of
performing in a variety of on-pavement
and off-road applications. This gives them
a higher center of gravity than ordinary
cars. An advantage of higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road,
allowing you to anticipate problems.
However, they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as conven-
tional passenger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If
at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, particularly at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control or vehicle rollover. Seat
belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person
is significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.Be sure to read “Driving safety precau-
tions” (P.5-10).
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
While driving, the right side or left side
wheels may unintentionally leave the
road surface. If this occurs, maintain
control of the vehicle by following the
procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The
vehicle must be driven as appropriate
based on the conditions of the vehicle,
road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering
wheel with both hands and try to hold
a straight course.
4. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow
the vehicle.
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle to follow the road while the
vehicle speed is reduced. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle back onto
the road surface until vehicle speed is
reduced.
6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the steering wheel until both tires
return to the road surface. When all
tires are on the road surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the appropriate
driving lane.
.If you decide that it is not safe to
return the vehicle to the road sur-
face based on vehicle, road or
traffic conditions, gradually slow
the vehicle to a stop in a safe place
off the road.
RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is
damaged due to hitting a curb or pothole.
Rapid air pressure loss can also be caused
by driving on under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the
handling and stability of the vehicle,
especially at highway speeds.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by
maintaining the correct air pressure and
visually inspect the tires for wear and
damage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-28).
If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or
“blows-out” while driving maintain control
of the vehicle by following the procedure
below. Please note that this procedure is
only a general guide. The vehicle must be
driven as appropriate based on the con-
ditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.
Starting and driving5-9

5-10Starting and driving
WARNING
The following actions can increase
the chance of losing control of the
vehicle if there is a sudden loss of tire
air pressure. Losing control of the
vehicle may cause a collision and
result in personal injury.
.The vehicle generally moves or
pulls in the direction of the flat
tire.
. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
. Do not rapidly release the accel-
erator pedal.
. Do not rapidly turn the steering
wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold
a straight course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow
the vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road and away from
traffic if possible. 5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gra-
dually stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and either contact a roadside emer-
gency service to change the tire or see
“Changing a flat tire” (P.6-4).
ABOUT LOWERING OF THE REAR OF
THE VEHICLE
If the loaded vehicle is not moved for a
long time, the vehicle rear body may be to
lower. But it is normal. Once the engine
starts, It will automatically adjust vehicle
height.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the
bloodstream reduces coordination,
delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking
alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring
yourself and others. Additionally, if
you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the
injury. NISSAN is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Every year
thousands of people are injured or killed
in alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t
mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-
the-counter, prescription, and illegal
drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol,
drugs, or some other physical condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your NISSAN is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving
in deep water or mud as your NISSAN is
mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD)
models are less capable than Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) models for rough road driving
and extrication when stuck in deep snow,
mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
