Starting anddriving
. 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
center ofgravity thanaconventional

Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS)
GUID-D6 EF18B1-2442 -473D-A573-60D459 B74FC7
This vehicle isequipped withtheTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS).It monitors tire
pressure ofall tires except thespare. When
the low tirepressure warninglightislit, and the
CHECK TIREPRES (pressure) warningmes-
sage isdisplayed inthe vehicle information
display ,one ormore ofyour tires issignificantly
under-inflated.
The TPMS willactivate onlywhen thevehicle is
driven atspeeds above16MPH (25km/h) .
Also, thissystem maynotdetect asudden drop
in tire pressure (forexample aflat tire while
driving) .
For more details, seeªLow tirepressure warning
lightº (P.2-15) ,ªTire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)º (P.5-3) andªTire Pressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS)º (P.6-3) .
Tire inflation pressure
GUID-C576 45B5-E413-4FCA-B110 -F118428A3D6F
Check thepressure ofthe tires (including
the spare) oftenandalways priortolong
distance trips.Therecommended tire
pressure specifications areshown onthe
Tire and Loading Information labelunder
the ªCold TirePressureº heading.TheTire and
Loading Information labelisaffixed to
the driver sidecenter pillar.Tirepressures
should bechecked regularlybecause:
.
Most tiresnaturally loseairover time.
.
Tires canlose airsuddenly whendriven
over potholes orother objects orifthe
vehicle strikesacurb while parking.
The tirepressures shouldbechecked
when thetires arecold. Thetires are
considered COLDafterthevehicle has
been parked for3or more hours, ordriven
less than 1mile (1.6km)atmoderate
speeds.
Incorrect tirepressure, includingun-
der inflation, mayadversely affecttire
life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
.
Improperly inflatedtirescanfail
suddenly andcause anaccident.
.
The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR) islocated onthe F.M .V.
S.S./C .M.V.S.S. certification la-
bel. The vehicle weightcapacity
is indicated onthe Tire and Loading
Information label.Do
not load yourvehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle mayresult inreduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions duetopremature tirefail-
ure, orunfavorable handling
characteristic sand could also
lead toaserious accident. Load-
ing beyond thespecified capa-
city may also result infailure of
other vehicle components.
.
Before takingalong trip,or
whenever youheavily loadyour
vehicle, useatire pressure
gauge toensure thatthetire
pressures areatthe specified
level.

When replacing atire, usethesame size,tread
design, speedratingandload carrying capacity
as originally equipped. (SeeªSpecificationsº
(P .9-8) forrecommended typesandsizes of
tires andwheels.)
WARNING
. The useoftires other thanthose
recommended orthe mixed useof
tires ofdifferent brands,construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted orradial) ,or
tread patterns canadversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer
calibration, headlightaimand bum-
per height. Someofthese effects
may lead toaccidents andcould
result inserious personal injury.
. For Two-Wheel Drive(2WD) models,
if your vehicle wasoriginally
equipped with4tires thatwere the
same sizeandyouareonly repla-
cing 2of the 4tires, install thenew
tires onthe rear axle. Placing new
tires onthe front axlemay cause
loss ofvehicle control insome driving
conditions andcause an
accident andpersonal injury.
. Ifthe wheels arechanged forany
reason, alwaysreplace withwheels
which havethesame off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels ofadifferent off-set
could cause premature tirewear,
degrade vehiclehandling character-
istic sand/or interference withthe
brake discs/drums. Suchinterfer-
ence canlead todecreased braking
efficiency and/orearlybrake pad/
shoe wear. SeeªWheels andtiresº
(P .9-9) ofthis manual forwheel off-
set dimensions.
. When aspare tireismounted ora

function andthelow tirepressure
warning lightwillflash forapproxi-
mately 1minute. Thelight will
remain onafter 1minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealerassoon as
possible fortire replacement and/
or system resetting.
