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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
The seat may move suddenly and could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.
After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to
make sure it is securely locked.
The seatback should not be reclined any more
than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most
effective when the passenger sits well back
and upright in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt
and being injured is increased.
When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain that they are completely
secured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop. When
operating the seatback release always rock
the seatback afterward to check that it is
locked.
When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo,
properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage area
or on the rear seat when it is in the folded-
down position. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could result in
serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked with the rear seat-
back securely latched when not in use, and
prevent children from having access to the
vehicle’s keys.FRONT SEATS

always be in the LOCK position when working un-
der the bonnet or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
Once the air bag has inflated or the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt has been activated, the air
bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt will
not function again and must be replaced. The
air bag module should be replaced by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. The air
bag module cannot be repaired.
All air bag systems should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop if there
is any damage to the front end portion of the
vehicle.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in
this Owner’s Manual.
If you need to dispose of an air bag or scrap
the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. Correct air bag disposal pro-
cedures are set forth in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG
INDICATOR LIGHT
WARNING
Since your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
a rearward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first.
Do not fit a rearward facing child seat on the
front passenger seat if the air bag activation/
deactivation system is malfunctioning. Your
vehicle must immediately be taken to a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop in such
a situation.
The front passenger air bag indicator light
,
located in the combination meter, illuminates for ap-
proximately 7 seconds and then goes off. This
means the system is operational.
The front passenger air bag indicator light warns of front passenger air bag status. If the front passen-
ger air bag has been deactivated, the light comes on
and stays on as long as the front passenger air bag
switch remains in the OFF position.

senger seat, you must deactivate the front passen-
ger seat air bag system:

tion) in the front passenger air bag switch on the
side of the dashboard, press then turn the key to
the OFF position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and make sure the front passenger air bag indicator
light
remains illuminated.
The
indicator light remains continuously illumi-
nated to warn you of front passenger air bag status.
See “Child restraints” later in this section for child
seat appropriate fitting.
Activating the front passenger air bag
You should reactivate the front passenger air bag
system as soon as the child restraint is not in use on
the front passenger seat to ensure protection of the
front passenger seat occupant in the event of an
impact.
To reactivate the front passenger air bag system:
1. With the ignition switch in the LOCK position and the engine off, open the front passenger
door.
2. Insert the ignition key/emergency key (Intelligent Key equipped models) in the front passenger air
bag switch and turn the key to the ON position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and make sure the front passenger air bag indicator
light
illuminates for a few seconds and then
turns off.
WARNING
If any of the following conditions occur after the
ignition switch has been turned to the ON posi-
tion, the front passenger air bag system needs
servicing and your vehicle must be taken to the
nearest NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The front passenger air bag indicator light
comes on and remains illuminated after ap-
proximately 7 seconds while the front pas-
senger air bag switch is ON.
The front passenger air bag indicator light
does not come on at all while the front pas-
senger air bag switch is ON.
Unless checked and repaired, the front passenger
air bag system may not function properly.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINT USAGE
Infants and small children should alwaysbe placed
in an infant or child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
Infants and small children should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for even
the strongest adult to resist the forces of an
accident. The child could be crushed between
the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not
put the same seat belt around a child and
yourself. In general, child restraints are de-
signed to be installed with the lap portion of a
three-point type seat belt.
NISSAN recommends installing the child re-
straint on the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
