signal switch” later in this section for further details
on the lighting operation.
Key reminder chime
The chime will sound if the driver’s side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition switch and
an attempt is made to set the power door lock switch
to the LOCK position.
The chime will sound if the driver’s door is opened
while the Intelligent Key (where fitted) is left inside
the vehicle and the ignition knob is not in the LOCK

First release the handbrake, then start driving.
See “Handbrake lever” in the “3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments” section for further operating infor-
mation.
Trailer direction indicator buzzer
The electrical system of the vehicle will detect an
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting when
towing a trailer and the turn signal switch is used.
As a result, the direction indicator tone will be differ-

Wiper operation
The windscreen wiper and washer can be operated
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Push the lever down to operate the wiper at the fol-
lowing speeds:
j1Intermittent()
— the intermittent operation speed can be
adjusted by rotating the ring towards
jA
(slower) orjB (faster).
j2Low() – continuous low speed opera-
tion
j3High() – continuous high speed
operation
To stop the wiper operation, move the lever
up to the “OFF” position.
j4Single sweep() — push the lever up for
a single sweep operation of the wiper.
Washer operation
j
5 To operate the washer, pull the lever
towards you
j5 until the desired amount of
washer fluid is spread on the windscreen.
The wiper will automatically operate several
times.
The headlight cleaner (where fitted) will also
operate with operation of the windscreen
washer.
Headlight cleaner (where fitted)
The headlight washing system is only activated
when:
– the ignition switch is in the ON position.
– the headlight switch is in the
position.
– pulling the lever once towards you
j5.
NOTE
After the first operation, the headlight cleaner
operates once every fifth operation of the
windscreen washer.
CAUTION
Do not operate the headlight cleaner if the win-
dow washer fluid reservoir is empty.
Rain sensor (where fitted)
The rain sensor is activated when the intermittent
positionj1 (AUTO) of the wiper switch is selected.
The wiper will start to operate automatically at a suit-
able speed when rain is detected on the windscreen.
NOTE
The rain sensor is only intended for use during
rain or precipitation. During other weather condi-
tions no harm will come to the rain sensor sys-
tem if left active (wiper switch set to intermit-
tent), although occasional unexpected activation
of the wipers may occur.
REAR WINDOW
The rear window wiper and washer can be oper-
ated when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Turn the switch clockwise to the intermittent (
,j1 ) position or continuous (,j2 ) position to
operate the wiper.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
5-2Starting and driving

installing snow chains. When installing snow
chains, make sure they are of proper size for the
tyres on your vehicle and are installed according
to the snow chain manufacturer’s instructions.
Use chain tensioners when recommended by the
snow chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit.
Loose end links of the snow chain must be se-
cured or removed to prevent the possibility of
whipping action damage to the wings or under-
carriage. In addition, drive at a reduced speed,
otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or
vehicle handling and performance may be ad-
versely affected.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended to carry the following items in the
vehicle during winter:
•A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice
and snow from the windows.
•A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack
to give it firm support.
•A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
•Extra windscreen washer fluid to refill the reser-
voir tank.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Chemicals used for road surface de-icing are ex-
tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion and
the deterioration of underbody components such as
the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake
cables, floor pan, and wings.
In the winter, the underbody must be cleanedperiodically. For additional information, see “Cor-
rosion protection” in the “7. Appearance and
care” section.
For additional protection against rust and corrosion,
which may be required in some areas, consult a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
