ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary
passenger car, because it has a higher center of gravity for off-road use.
As with other vehicles with features of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident.
Be sure to read ªOn-Pavement and Off-Road driving precautionsº and
ªAvoiding collision and rolloverº in the ªStarting and drivingº section of
this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its
performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental

Compass display
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the
ªACCº or ªONº position. The direction will be
displayed.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass read-
ings. Follow these instructions to set the vari-
ance for your particular location if this hap-
pens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Record your zone number.
2. Push the ªON/OFFº switch in for five sec-
onds until the current zone entry number is
displayed.
3. Press the ªON/OFFº switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the ªON/OFFº switch and the
display will show compass direction within a
few seconds.
IIf a magnet is located near the com-
pass or the vehicle is driven where
the terrestrial magnetism is dis-
turbed, the compass display may not
indicate the correct direction.
IIn places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is disturbed, the correction of
the direction starts automatically, ex-
tinguishing the direction bar. If turn is
made one or two times, the correction
is complete and the direction bar
comes back on.
Correction functions of the direction
meter
The direction display is equipped with auto-
matic correction function. If the direction is not
shown correctly, carry out initial correction.
Manual correction procedure
1. Pushing the switch for about 10 seconds
will enter the initial correction mode. The
direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safeplace. The initial correction is completed in
one or two turns.
In places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is extremely disturbed, the initial
correction may start automatically.

To adjust BASS, TREB (treble), FADER, and
BAL (balance) the control knobs must be re-
leased from their stowed positions. Pushing
the knobs once moves them to the released
position.
In the released position, the knobs control tone
quality. Turn the control knobs to adjust BASS
and TREB to the most pleasing level.
From the released position, the knobs must be
pulled out in order to control FADER and BAL.
FADER adjusts the sound level between the
front and rear speakers, and BAL adjusts the
sound level between the right and left speak-
ers.Once sound quality is set to the desired levels,
return the control knobs to the stowed position
by pushing them in completely and releasing.
Cassette tape operation
Turn the ignition key to ªACCº or ªONº, then
lightly insert the cassette tape into the tape
door.
The cassette tape will automatically pull into
the player. The word ªTAPEº and an arrow
indicating tape side will illuminate in the dis-
play window.
Do not force the cassette tape into the tape
door.Pressing strongly could cause player
damage.
The cassette tape will automatically change
directions to play the other side when the first
side is completed. At this time, the arrow in the
display window will change direction.
ITo maintain good quality sound, NIS-
SAN recommends that you use cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
ICassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, moisture and
magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
IDo not use cassettes that have labels
which are peeling and loose. If used, the
label could jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.

IDo not leave children, unreliable
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
ITo prevent luggage or packages from
sliding forward during braking, do
not stack anything in the cargo area
higher than the seatbacks.
IFailure to follow proper seating in-
structions in this section could result
in serious personal injury in an acci-
dent or during a sudden stop.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide)
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas, and can cause unconsciousness or
death.
IIf you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
IDo not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage for any
longer than is absolutely necessary.
IDo not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.
IKeep the back door and rear window
closed while driving, otherwise ex-
haust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must
drive in this manner for some reason,
take the following steps.
1. Open all the windows.2. Set the air recirculate switch
ªOFFº and the fan control at
ªhighº to circulate the air.
IIf electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the back door or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
IThe exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involv-
ing damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

º position.
The indicator light will come on at this
time.
When driving conditions change, push the
overdrive switch in the ªON
º position.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time with the overdrive
switch set in the ªOFF
º position. This
lowers the fuel economy.
Fail-safe
When the Fail-safe operation occurs, the next
time the key is turned to the ªONº position, the
O/D OFF light will blink for approximately 8
seconds after coming on for 2 seconds. While
the vehicle can be driven under these circum-
stances please note that the gears in the
automatic transmission will be locked in third
gear.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme con-
ditions, such as excessive wheel spinning
and subsequent hard braking, the Fail-safe
system may be activated. This will occur
even if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, turn the ignition key
ªOFFº and wait for 3 seconds. Then turn

Check the brake booster function with the
following steps:
1. With the engine off, press and release the
brake pedal several times. When brake
pedal movement (distance of travel) re-
mains the same from one pedal application
to the next, continue on to the next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, start the
engine. The pedal height should drop a
little.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the
engine. Keeping the pedal depressed for
about 30 seconds, the pedal height should
not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without
depressing the brake pedal, then turn it off.
Depress the brake pedal several times. The
pedal travel distance will decrease gradu-
ally with each depression as the vacuum is
released from the booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brake checked by your NISSAN dealer.Press the pedal by hand and be sure the free
travel is within the above limit. If free travel is
out of the range shown above, see your NIS-
SAN dealer.
