WARNING
Pay special attention to your surround-
ings when using the clutch interlock
switch. The vehicle will move forward or
backward according to the gear
selected.
The clutch interlock (clutch start) switch
allows for starting the engine without de-
pressing the clutch pedal. This feature
helps you restart the engine if it stops un-
der difficult conditions. (For example, the
engine stops on a steep hill and a slight
movement forward or backward might be
dangerous.) To use the clutch interlock switch:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
3. Place your lef t foot on the brake pedal and release the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
5. Push and release the clutch interlock switch. The CANCEL light on the switch
will illuminate.
6. Turn the ignition to the START position to start the engine and, at the same
time, depress the accelerator pedal
with your right foot. As the vehicle be-
gins to move, take your lef t foot off the
brake. Once the engine has started, the
clutch interlock switch CANCEL light
shuts off. Do not use the interlock
switch to start the engine under nor-
mal driving conditions.
WARNING
The Rear Sonar System is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and check
that it is safe to do so before backing up.
Always back up slowly.
The RSS (if so equipped) is active when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position
and the shif t lever is in R (Reverse).
When sensors detect obstacles within 6 f t
(1.8 m) of the rear bumper, a beeping tone is
emitted.

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 2-Wheel Drive models are
less capable than 4–Wheel Drive (4WD)
models for rough road driving and extrica-
tion when stuck in deep snow or mud, or
the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
∙ Drive carefully when off the road andavoid dangerous areas. Every person
who drives or rides in this vehicle
should be seated with their seat belt
fastened. This will keep you and your
passengers in position when driving
over rough terrain.
∙ Do not drive across steep slopes. In- stead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-road ve-
hicles can tip over sideways much
more easily than they can forward or
backward. ∙ Many hills are too steep for any ve-
hicle. If you drive up them, you may
stall. If you drive down them, you may
not be able to control your speed. If
you drive across them, you may roll
over.
∙ Do not shif t gears while driving on downhill grades as this could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
∙ Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the top there could be a drop-
off or other hazard that could cause
an accident.
∙ If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to the top of a steep hill, never
attempt to turn around. Your vehicle
could tip or roll over. Always back
straight down in R (Reverse) gear.
Never back down in N (Neutral) or with
the clutch depressed (manual trans-
mission vehicles), using only the
brake, as this could cause loss of
control. ∙ Heavy braking going down a hill could
cause your brakes to overheat and
fade, resulting in loss of control and
an accident. Apply brakes lightly and
use a low gear to control your speed.
Use the hill descent control feature (if
so equipped).
∙ Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough ter-
rain. Properly secure all cargo so it will
not be thrown forward and cause in-
jury to you or your passengers.
∙ To avoid raising the center of gravity excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity of the roof rack (if so
equipped) and evenly distribute the
load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo
area as far forward and as low as pos-
sible. Do not equip the vehicle with
tires larger than specified in this
manual. This could cause your vehicle
to roll over.
∙ Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road.
The steering wheel could move sud-
denly and injure your hands. Instead
drive with your fingers and thumbs on
the outside of the rim.
