ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING (4WD models)
This vehicle will handle and manoeuvre differently from an ordinary passenger
vehicle, because it has a higher centre 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 “On-pavement and off-road driving precautions” and “Four-
wheel drive (4WD)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
CAUTION
An improperly disposed battery can harm the environment. Always confirm
local regulations for battery disposal.
Examples of the batteries that the vehicle contains:
Vehicle battery
Remote controller battery (for Intelligent Key and/or Remote keyless entry
system)
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery
Remote controller battery (for Mobile Entertainment system)
If in doubt, contact your local authority, or a NISSAN dealer, or a qualified work-
shop for advice on disposal.

(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This
means the system is operational.
See “Malfunction Indicator light” later in this section
for details of the orange Malfunction Indicator light.
If the red malfunction warning light comes on steady
while the engine is running, it may indicate an en-
gine control system malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.
Master warning light
The master warning light is displayed when any
warning message is displayed. See “Vehicle infor-
mation display” later in this section.
NATS security warning light
(where fitted)
This light blinks whenever the ignition switch is in
the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position. This function
indicates that your vehicle is equipped with the

Depending on the driving conditions, the 4WD
mode may automatically change from 2WD to
4WD even when the 2WD mode is selected.
Do not start the engine while in the 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK mode:
When on free-roller or jacking the front tyres
with the rear tyres on the ground.
When towing with the rear tyres raised from
the ground.
4WD SHIFT TIPS
If the 4WD mode control is operated while cor-
nering, accelerating or decelerating, or if the ig-
nition is turned OFF while in the AUTO or LOCK
position you may feel a jolt - this is normal.
The oil temperature of power train parts will in-
crease if the vehicle is continuously operated
under conditions where the difference in rotation
between the front and rear wheels is large (wheel
slip), such as when driving the vehicle on rough
roads through sand or mud, or when freeing a
stuck vehicle. In these cases, the 4WD warning
light blinks rapidly, and the 4WD mode changes
to the 2WD condition to protect the power train
parts. If you stop the vehicle, with the engine
idling, and wait until the warning light stops blink-
ing the 4WD mode returns to the AUTO mode.
Braking distance in 4WD mode is the same as in
2WD mode.

CAUTION
Only use the 4WD mode control when driving
in a straight direction (to select 2WD, AUTO or
LOCK).
Do not use the 4WD mode control when turn-
ing or reversing.
Do not use the 4WD mode control with the
front wheels spinning (to select 2WD, AUTO,

4WD WARNING LIGHT
Warning light Indication
mComes onThere is a malfunction in the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) system.
mBlinks rapidlyThe power train oil temperature is
abnormally high.
mBlinks slowlyThe difference in wheel rotation is
large.
The 4WD warning light is located in the tachometer.
The 4WD warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position and turns off
soon after the engine is started. If the 4WD warning
light comes on, the 4WD mode indicator light will go
out.
If the 4WD system malfunctions, or the revolution or
radius of the front and the rear wheels differ, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or blink
as follows:
High temperature transfer case oil makes the
warning light blink rapidly (approximately twice per second). Stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the engine idling. If, after a while, the light
goes out you can continue driving.
Where the difference in rotation between the
front and rear wheels is large (wheel slip) - such
as when driving on rough roads through sand,
mud, or freeing a stuck vehicle - the warning
light will blink slowly (approximately once per two
seconds). Set the 4WD mode to 2WD and do
not drive fast. A large difference in diameters
between the front and rear wheels will also cause
the 4WD warning light to blink slowly. Check
that all the tyre sizes are the same, the tyre pres-
sures are correct, and that the tyres are not worn.
CAUTION
If the warning light comes on or blinks while
driving, 4WD mode will change to 2WD mode.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
If the 4WD warning light blinks in the follow-
ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:
– Blinks rapidly (about twice a second) Pull off the road at a safe place and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD
to prevent the 4WD system from malfunction-
ing. The vehicle can be driven again as soon
as the warning light turns off.
5-26Starting and driving

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine – Blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds)Change the driving mode to 2WD and reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible.
If the warning light is still on after performing
the above operation, have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
4WD MODE INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD mode indicator light ( LOCK):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. When selecting LOCK mode while the
engine is running, this light will illuminate simul-
taneously along with the 4WD mode indicator
light (AUTO).
4WD mode indicator light ( AUTO):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. If the engine is running, this light will illu-
minate when selecting AUTO mode.
The 4WD mode indicator light is located in the
tachometer.
The light should turn off within 1 second of the
ignition switch being turned to the ON position.
While the engine is running, the 4WD mode indi-
cator light will display the position selected by
the 4WD mode control. NOTE
The 4WD mode indicator light may blink while
shifting from one drive mode to another. Once
shifting is completed, the 4WD mode indicator
light will come on. If the indicator light does not
come on immediately, make sure that the area
around the vehicle is safe and free from ob-
stacles. Drive the vehicle straight (DO NOT ac-
celerate, decelerate or reverse), then turn the
4WD mode control.
If the 4WD warning lights comes on, the 4WD indi-
cator light(s) will go out.
DRIVING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
SAFELY
Your NISSAN is designed for both normal and off-
road use. However, avoid driving in deep water or
mud as your NISSAN is mainly designed for leisure
use, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel drive (2WD) models are
less capable than Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
for rough road driving and extrication when stuck,
for example, in deep snow or mud.
Please observe the following precautions:
Drive carefully when off-road and avoid danger-
ous areas. Always wear seat belts to help keep
you and your passengers in position when driv-
ing over rough terrain.
Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive
either straight up or straight down the slope. Off- road vehicles can tip over sideways much more
easily than they can forwards or backwards.
Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you
drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down
them, you may not be able to control your speed.
If you drive across them, you may roll over.
Do not shift gears when driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of the
vehicle.
Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the
top there could be a drop-off or other hazard that
could cause an accident.
If the engine of the vehicle stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep grade, never at-
tempt to turn around. Your vehicle could tip or
roll over. Always drive backwards and straight
down in R (Reverse) gear.
Never drive backwards under the following con-
ditions as this could result in loss of control:
– with the gear lever in N (Neutral) and/or with
the clutch depressed and using the brake
(MT models).
– with the selector lever in N (Neutral) and us- ing only the brake (AT or CVT models).
Heavy braking down a hill could cause your
brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in loss of
control and an accident. Apply the brakes lightly
and use a low gear to control your vehicle speed.
Starting and driving5-27

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when
driving over rough terrain. Properly secure it so
that it will not be thrown forwards and cause
injury to you or your passengers.
To avoid raising the centre of gravity excessively,
do not exceed the rated capacity of the roof rack/
gear bin (where fitted) and evenly distribute the
load. Secure heavy loads in the luggage area as
far forwards and as low as possible. Do not equip
the vehicle with tyres larger than specified. This
could cause your vehicle to rollover.
Accelerating quickly, sharp steering manoeuvres
or sudden braking may cause loss of control.
Do not drive beyond the performance of the
tyres, even with 4WD. Sudden acceleration,
steering or braking may result in loss of control
and could cause the vehicle to become stuck.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turning manoeuvres,
particularly at high speeds. Your 4WD vehicle
has a higher centre of gravity than a 2WD ve-
hicle and can tip over more easily. The vehicle is
not designed for cornering at the same speeds
as conventional 2WD models any more than low
sports cars are designed to perform satisfacto-
rily under off-road conditions. Failure to operate
this vehicle correctly could result in loss of con-
trol and/or a rollover accident.
Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering
wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel
could jerk and injure your hands. Instead, drive
with your fingers and thumbs on the outside of
the rim.
Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the
driver and all passengers have their seat belts
fastened.
Avoid raising the centre of gravity by loading
things on the roof or equipping the vehicle with
tyres larger than specified in this manual.
Always drive with the floor mats in place as the
floor may become very hot. Particular care
should be taken if you are barefoot.
Lower your speed when encountering strong
crosswinds. With its higher centre of gravity your
NISSAN is more affected by gusty side winds.
Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
Be sure to check the brakes immediately after
driving in mud or water as specified in “Wet
brakes” later in this section.
Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud
or water as deep as the wheel hub, more fre-
quent maintenance may be required. For details,
refer to the separately provided Warranty Infor-
mation and Maintenance Booklet.
Rinse the underside of the vehicle with fresh
water after driving through mud or sand. Re-
move any brush or sticks that are trapped.
Install the same size of winter tyres on all four (4)
wheels (such as studless tyres) or install snow
chains to the front wheels when driving on slip-
pery roads (e.g. after a snowfall) and drive care-
fully using 4WD.
Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If you
get out of the vehicle and it rolls forwards, back-
wards or sideways, you could be injured.
5-28Starting and driving

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have
braking ability with two wheels.
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Vacuum assisted brake
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops or the drive belt is bro-
ken, you can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pressure on the
brake pedal will be required to stop the vehicle and
the stopping distance will be longer.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-
ter, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your brak-
ing distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull
to one side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed
while lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the
brakes. Do this until the brakes return to normal.
Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake linings and pads faster and reduce fuel
economy performance.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes
from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a
lower gear before going down a slope or long down-hill gradient. Overheated brakes may reduce brak-
ing performance and could result in loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION
While driving on a slippery surface, be careful
when braking, accelerating or downshifting.
Abrupt braking actions or sudden acceleration
could cause the wheels to skid and result in an
accident.
Be aware that brakes will fade if repeated heavy
brake applications are made.
Driving uphill
When starting on a steep gradient, it is sometimes
difficult to operate the brake (AT or CVT models) or
both the brake and clutch (MT models). Use the
handbrake to hold the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch
(MT models). When ready to start, slowly release
the handbrake while depressing the accelerator
pedal and releasing the clutch (MT models) or de-
pressing the accelerator pedal (AT or CVT models).
Driving downhill
The engine braking action is effective for controlling
the vehicle while descending hills.
The gear lever (MT models) should be placed in a
gear position low enough to obtain sufficient engine
braking.
For the AT or CVT models, a low gear position in
the manual shift mode, low enough to obtain suffi-
cient engine braking, should be selected.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a so-
phisticated device, but it cannot prevent acci-
dents resulting from careless or dangerous
driving techniques. It can help maintain ve-
hicle control during braking on slippery sur-
faces. Remember that stopping distances
may also be longer on rough, gravel or snow
covered roads, or if you are using snow
chains. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the
driver is responsible for safety.
Tyre type and condition may also affect brak-
ing effectiveness.
– When replacing tyres, install the specified
size of tyres on all four wheels.
– When installing a spare tyre, make sure it is the proper size and type as specified on
the tyre placard. See “Vehicle
identification” in the “9. Technical
information” section for the tyre placard
location.
– For detailed information, see “Wheels and tyres” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the
brakes so that the wheels do not lock during hard
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The
system detects the rotation speed at each wheel
