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.

TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Periodically check the tyre pressure (including the
spare tyre). An incorrect tyre pressure may ad-
versely affect tyre life and vehicle handling.
NOTE
Incorrectly inflated tyres can also lead to poor
steering ability and make the driver suspect a
steering problem: keep the vehicle’s tyres in-
flated to the correct pressure at all times.
The tyre pressure should be checked when tyres
are COLD. Tyres are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for three or more hours, or
driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile). COLD tyre pres-
sures are shown on the tyre placard affixed to the
driver’s side centre pillar.
Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of
the tyre and subsequent internal damage. At high
speeds, this could result in tread separation and
even bursting of the tyre.
TYPES OF TYRES
CAUTION
When changing or replacing tyres, be sure all
four tyres are of the same type (i.e., summer,
all season or snow) and construction.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop may
be able to help you with information about
tyre type, size, speed rating and availability.
