device installed inthe exhaust system.Exhaust
gases inthe three-way catalystareburned at
high temperatures tohelp reduce pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gasand theexhaust
system arevery hot.Keep people,
animals orflammable materials
away fromtheexhaust systemcom-
ponents.
. Donot stop orpark thevehicle over
flammable materialssuchasdry

may ignite andcause afire.
CAUTION
. Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline willser-
iously reduce thethree-way
catalyst's abilitytohelp reduce ex- haust
pollutants.
. Keep yourengine tunedup.Mal-
functions inthe ignition, fuelinjec-
tion, orelectrical systemscancause
overrich fuelflow intothethree-way

not keep driving ifthe engine mis-
fires, orifnoticeable lossofperfor-
mance orother unusual operating
conditions aredetected. Havethe
vehicle inspected promptlybya
NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving withanextremely low

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
GUID-70D EE521-236F-4 87A-BFBD-1A02741B 58A6
Each tire,including thespare (ifprovided) ,
should bechecked monthlywhencoldand
inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer onthe vehicle
placard ortire inflation pressure label.(Ifyour 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 has
been equipped withaTire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) thatilluminates alow tire
pressure telltalewhenoneormore ofyour tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,when
the low tirepressure telltaleilluminates, you
should stopandcheck yourtiresassoon as
possible, andinflate themtothe proper pres-
sure. Driving onasignificantly under-inflated tire
causes thetiretooverheat andcanlead totire
failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fueleffi-
ciency andtiretread life,and may affect the
vehicle's handlingandstopping ability.
Please notethattheTPMS isnot asubstitute for
proper tiremaintenance, anditis the driver's
responsibility tomaintain correcttirepressure,
even ifunder-inflation hasnotreached thelevel
to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS lowtire
pressure telltale.
Y our vehicle hasalso been equipped witha
TPMS malfunction indicatortoindicate whenthe

. Ifyour engine stallsoryou cannot
make itto the top ofasteep hill,
never attempt toturn around. Your
vehicle couldtiporroll over. Always
back straight downinR(Reverse)
range. Neverbackdown inN(Neu-
tral) ,using onlythebrake, asthis
could cause lossofcontrol.
. Heavy braking goingdownahill
could cause yourbrakes tooverheat
and fade, resulting inloss ofcontrol
and anaccident. Applybrakes
lightly andusealow range to
control yourspeed.
. Unsecured cargocanbethrown
around whendriving overrough
terrain. Properly secureallcargo
so itwill notbethrown forward
and cause injurytoyou oryour
passengers.
. To avoid raising thecenter ofgravity
excessively, donot exceed therated
capacity ofthe roof rack (ifso
equipped) andevenly distribute the
load. Secure heavyloadsinthe
cargo areaasfar forward andas
low aspossible. Donot equip the
vehicle withtires larger thanspeci-
fied inthis manual. Thiscould cause your
vehicle toroll over.
. Do not grip theinside orspokes of
the steering wheelwhendriving off-
road. Thesteering wheelcould
move suddenly andinjure your
hands. Instead drivewithyour fin-
gers andthumbs onthe outside of
the rim.
. Before operating thevehicle, ensure
that thedriver andallpassengers
have theirseatbelts fastened.
. Always drivewiththefloor mats in
place asthe floor maybecame hot.
. Lower yourspeed whenencounter-
ing strong crosswinds. Withahigher
center ofgravity, yourNISSAN is
more affected bystrong sidewinds.
Slower speeds ensurebettervehicle
control.
. Do not drive beyond theperfor-
mance capability ofthe tires, even
with AWD engaged.
. For AWD equipped vehicles,donot
attempt toraise twowheels offthe
ground andshift thetransmission to
any drive orreverse position with
the engine running. Doingsomay
result indrivetrain damageorun- expected
vehiclemovement which
could result inserious vehicleda-
mage orpersonal injury.
. Do not attempt totest anAWD
equipped vehicleona2-wheel dy-
namometer (suchasthe dynam-
ometers usedbysome states for
emissions testing),or similar equip-
ment evenifthe other twowheels
are raised offthe ground. Makesure
you inform testfacility personnel
that your vehicle isequipped with
AWD before itis placed ona
dynamometer. Usingthewrong test
equipment mayresult indrivetrain
damage orunexpected vehicle
movement whichcouldresult in
serious vehicledamage orpersonal
injury.
. When awheel isoff the ground due
to an unlevel surface, donot spin
the wheel excessively (AWDmodel) .
. Accelerating quickly,sharpsteering
maneuvers orsudden braking may
cause lossofcontrol.
. Ifat all possible, avoidsharp turning
maneuvers, particularlyathigh
speeds. Your vehicle hasahigher

BRAKING PRECAUTION S
GUID-E19 3E720-D85 3-4379-82D C-E8EA84DDFD5B
The brake system hastwo separate hydraulic
circuits. Ifone circuit malfunctions, youwillstill
have braking attwo wheels.
Y ou may feelasmall clickandhear asound
when thebrake pedalisfully depressed slowly.
This isnot amalfunction andindicates thatthe
brake assist mechanism isoperating properly.
V acuum assisted brakes
GUID-0E2 3F656-D41A-4 88F-8147-9851A53DE80D
The brake booster aidsbraking byusing engine
vacuum. Ifthe engine stops,youcan stop the
vehicle bydepressing thebrake pedal. However,
greater footpressure onthe brake pedalwillbe
required tostop thevehicle andthestopping
distance willbelonger.
When thebrake pedalisdepressed slowlyand
firmly ,you may hear aclicking noiseandfeela
slight pulsation. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the Brake Assist System isoperating.
Using thebrakes
GUID-68FF F67F-04F0- 402E-BB4B-8 82B90506CCB
Avoid resting yourfootonthe brake pedalwhile
driving. Thiswillcause overheating ofthe
brakes, wearing outthebrake padsandshoes
faster andreduce gasmileage.
T o help reduce brakewearandtoprevent the
brakes fromoverheating, reducespeedand
downshift toalower gearbefore goingdownaslope
orlong grade. Overheated brakesmay
reduce braking performance andcould resultin
loss ofvehicle control.
WARNING
. While driving onaslippery surface,
be careful whenbraking, accelerat-
ing ordownshifting. Abruptbraking
or accelerating couldcause the
wheels toskid andresult inan
accident.
. Ifthe engine isnot running oris
turned offwhile driving, thepower
assist forthe brakes willnotwork.
Braking willbeharder.

GUID-853 A77D3-7334 -4546-A056-4F624706 91EB
When thevehicle iswashed ordriven through
water, thebrakes maygetwet. Asaresult, your
braking distance willbelonger andthevehicle
may pulltoone side during braking.
T o dry brakes, drivethevehicle atasafe speed
while lightly tapping thebrake pedaltoheat-up
the brakes. Dothis until thebrakes returnto
normal. Avoiddriving thevehicle athigh speeds
until thebrakes function correctly.
Parking brakebreak-in
GUID-3CAC C1C2-C000-436E-B53 F-77E9E90BA938
Break inthe parking brakeshoes whenever the

or whenever theparking brakeshoes and/or
drums/rotors arereplaced, inorder toassure the
best braking performance.
This procedure isdescribed inthe vehicle
