VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the voltmeter indicates the bat-
tery voltage. When the engine is running, it
indicates the generator voltage. To view
the digital gauge in the trip computer press
the INFO knob two times.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the range is not
within the normal range (11 – 15 volts)
1
while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the charging system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the automatic transmission fluid. The au-
tomatic transmission fluid temperature is
in the normal range
1when the gauge
indication is within the zone shown in the
illustration. To view the digital gauge in the
trip computer, press the INFO knob three
times.
CAUTION
∙ This gauge is not designed to indicate low automatic transmission fluid
level. Use the dipstick to check the
fluid level. For additional information,
refer to “5-speed Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid (ATF)” and “7–speed Au-
tomatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)” in
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
∙ If the gauge indicates automatic transmission fluid temperature over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. Have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice. Continued operation of the ve-
hicle may seriously damage the
transmission.

7. Wipe the engine oil filter sealing surfacewith a clean rag.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove any old gasket mate-
rial remaining on the sealing surface of
the engine. Failure to do so could lead to
engine damage.
8. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil.
9. Screw on the oil filter until a slight resis- tance is felt, then tighten an additional
2/3 turn.
10. Start the engine and check for leakage around the oil filter. Correct as required.
11. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level. Add en-
gine oil if necessary. When checking or replacement is required,
it is recommend that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.CAUTION
∙ Use Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. If
Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not
available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF
may also be used.
∙ Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S
ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterio-
ration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may
damage the automatic transmission,
which is not covered by the NISSAN
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The specified automatic transmission fluid
is also described on caution labels located
in the engine compartment. When checking or replacement is required,
it is recommend that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
CAUTION
∙ NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN Matic S ATF. Do not mix with
other fluids.
∙ Do not use CVT fluid or manual trans- mission fluid in this transmission.
Damage caused by the use of fluids
other than as recommended is not
covered under NISSAN’s New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
∙ Using fluids that are not equivalent to Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF may also
damage the transmission. Damage
caused by the use of fluids other than
as recommended is not covered un-
der NISSAN’s New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
The specified automatic transmission fluid
is also described on caution labels located
in the engine compartment.

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions”.
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every
20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
(3) For additional information on tire rotation, refer to “General maintenance” in this section.

ATF is not available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF may also be
used. Do not mix with other fluids. Using fluids that are not
equivalent to Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Genuine NISSAN
Matic J ATF may damage the automatic transmission. Damage
caused by the use of fluids other than as recommended is not

3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it isbalanced. For additional information,
refer to “Pre-towing tips” in this section.
∙ Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than nor-
mal passing. Remember, the length of
the trailer must also pass the other ve-
hicle before you can safely change
lanes.
∙ Downshif t the transmission to a lower gear for engine braking when driving
down steep or long hills. This will help
slow the vehicle without applying the
brakes.
∙ Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
∙ Increase your following distance to al- low for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
∙ NISSAN recommends that the cruise control not be used while towing a
trailer. ∙ Some states or provinces have specific
regulations and speed limits for ve-
hicles that are towing trailers. Obey the
local speed limits.
∙ Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
af ter 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.
∙ When launching a boat, don’t allow the water level to go over the exhaust tail
pipe or rear bumper.
∙ Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights before backing the trailer into the
water or the trailer lights may burn out.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section in this
manual.
Tow mode (if so equipped)
Using tow mode is recommended when
pulling a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy
load. Press the TOW MODE switch to acti-
vate tow mode. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when tow
mode is selected. Press the TOW MODE
switch again to turn tow mode off. Tow mode is automatically canceled when
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
Tow mode includes the following features:
∙ Grade logic — Adjusts transmission shif ts when pulling a trailer or hauling a
load up a grade.
∙ Downhill Speed Control (DSC) — auto- matically downshif ts when driving
down a grade with a trailer or heavy
load to help control vehicle speed.
Driving the vehicle in the tow mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not
cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced and the
transmission/engine driving characteris-
tics may feel unusual.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Maintenance and schedules” sec-
tion of this manual.
