Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and cooling of its rotating components. The tur-
bocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds
and it can reach an extremely high temperature. It is
essential to maintain a flow of clean oil through the
turbocharger system. A sudden interruption to the
oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbo-
charger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-
lowing maintenance procedure:
CAUTION
Change the engine oil of the turbo-charged
diesel engine as prescribed. See the sepa-
rately provided Warranty Information & Main-
tenance Booklet for additional information.
Use only the recommended engine oil. See
“Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
If the engine has been operating at high rpm
for an extended period of time, let it idle for a
few minutes prior to shutdown.
Do not accelerate the engine to high rpm im-
mediately after starting it.
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the DPF warning light illuminated,
the fail-safe will limit engine revolutions and/
or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be
replaced and the process of burning accumu-
lated particulate matter must be carried out
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Service regeneration is a maintenance item
and is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
Use engine oil for DPF equipped models. For
details, see “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
CAUTION
The DPF becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Some diesel engine models are fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), which is a device that re-
moves carbon (soot) from the exhaust gas. To oper-
ate effectively, the DPF system must routinely con-
duct a cleaning operation, called regeneration, that burns-off the accumulated carbon. This regenera-
tion process is normally automatic and not visible to
the driver.
REGENERATION RESTRICTIONS
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys
or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up
of carbon in the filter. When this happens the DPF
warning light
will illuminate (and a message
will appear in the vehicle information display, see
“Vehicle information display” later in this section) to
inform you that the vehicle must be driven in a par-
ticular manner to begin regeneration.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided
that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle
should be driven at a speed of over 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the DPF warning light turns off. This pro-
cess can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
IF REGENERATION FAILS
Failure to react to the DPF warning lightmay
lead to saturation of the DPF system. If this hap-
pens, the Malfunction Indicator (MI)
will also
illuminate to indicate that a Service Regeneration by
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop is required.
The engine speed may also be limited to 3,000 rpm
to protect the DPF system.
NOTE
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
to perform a forced regeneration.

AT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the AT CHECK
indicator light comes on for 2 seconds and the auto-
matic transmission will be locked in the third gear.
Have a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check
and repair the transmission.
CVT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle speed can
be controlled with the accelerator pedal, but the
engine power may be limited. Have a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop check and repair the trans-
mission.
AT or CVT models:
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the Fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, turn
the ignition switch “OFF” and wait for 10 sec-
onds. Then turn the key back to the ON position.
The vehicle should return to its normal operating
condition. If it does not return to its normal oper-
ating condition have your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop check the transmission and have
the transmission repaired by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop, if necessary.WARNING
When the fail safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, drive
to the side of the road at a safe place and away
from traffic, to allow the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have the transmission re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop,
if necessary.
DRIVING WITH CONTINUOUSLY
VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
(Models without manual shift)
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in
your vehicle is electronically controlled to produce
maximum power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages. Fol-
low these procedures for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This
may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into a
forward or reverse position before the engine
has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) position while the vehicle is moving.
This could cause serious damage to the trans-
mission.
Start the engine in either the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will not start in
any other position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Shift into the P (Park) position and apply the
handbrake when at a standstill for longer than
a short waiting period.
Keep the engine at idling speed while shifting
from the N (Neutral) position to any driving
position.
When stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade,
do not hold the vehicle by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal. The footbrake pedal should
be depressed in this situation.
Starting vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot- brake pedal before moving the selector lever out
of the P (Park) position.
2. Keep the footbrake pedal depressed and move the selector lever to a driving position.
3. Release the handbrake, the footbrake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
