●While going downhill, the weight of the
trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may de-
crease overall stability. Therefore, to main-
tain adequate control, reduce your speed
and shift to a lower gear. Avoid long or
repeated use of the brakes when descend-
ing a hill, as this reduces their effectiveness
and could cause overheating. Shifting to a
lower gear instead provides “engine brak-
ing” and reduces the need to brake as fre-
quently.
● If the engine coolant temperature rises to a
high temperature, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this owner’s manual.
● Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
circumstances.
● Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s first
500 miles (805 km) .
● For the first 500 miles (805 km) that you do
tow, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Have your vehicle serviced more often than
at intervals specified in the recommended
Maintenance Schedule in the “NISSAN Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide”. ●
When making a turn, your trailer wheels will
be closer to the inside of the turn than your
vehicle wheels. To compensate for this,
make a larger than normal turning radius
during the turn.
● Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely
affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly caus-
ing vehicle sway. When being passed by
larger vehicles, be prepared for possible
changes in crosswinds that could affect ve-
hicle handling.
Trailer Sway Assist:
To minimize trailer sway, your vehicle may apply
braking to individual wheels based on input from
your vehicle sensors and vehicle speed. Trailer
sway control is a function of the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system and is active when the
VDC function is enabled.
CAUTION
If the VDC-OFF switch is on (meaning VDC
system OFF) , the Trailer Sway Assist is
also disabled
When Trailer Sway Assist is in operation, the
VDC warning light blinks. When vehicle control is
regained, VDC warning light will turn OFF. For additional information about the VDC system,
refer to “VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF SWITCH” and Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” sections of this manual.
If Trailer Sway Assist activates, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to coast and steer as
straight ahead as the road conditions allow.
This combination will help stabilize the ve-
hicle
CAUTION
Do not try to correct trailer sway by steer-
ing or applying the brakes.
2. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side of the road in a
safe area.
3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is bal- anced as described earlier in this section.

Preventive maintenance is the easiest and least
expensive type of maintenance. Keep records of
regularly scheduled maintenance and follow the
maintenance schedule recommendations out-
lined in the “Titan Owner’s Manual”.
Use the correct fuel, lubricating oil, and coolant in
your engine. Blending engine oil with fuel is pro-
hibited for engines with an aftertreatment system.
For additional information refer to the “Capacities
and Specifications” section in this manual.
A NISSAN dealership knows your vehicle. When
you require any service or have any questions,
they will be glad to assist you with the extensive
resources available to them.
DIESEL ENGINE OPERATION
The operation of the diesel engine in your new
vehicle varies from the operation of traditional
gasoline engines found in other vehicles. Read-
ing this supplement will familiarize you and other
operators of the vehicle with the unique mainte-
nance and operating procedures that will prolong
the life of the diesel engine and related systems.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
●Warm up the engine before operating it un-
der load
● Do not operate the engine at idle for ex-
tended periods
● Prevent engine lugging by selecting the ap-
propriate transmission gear
● Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and tem-
perature gauges
● Check fluid levels frequently (Oil & Coolant)
● Vary the throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying weight or towing
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine reaches
its full efficiency. If the engine is operated
in this manner, reduced fuel economy and
power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be ob-
served for the first 6,000 miles. The engine run-in
is improved by operating the vehicle under load.
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized
two-stage filtration system and consists of: ● A frame-mounted primary (stage 1) fuel filter
containing water/fuel separator, electric fuel
pump, and water in fuel drain valve
● An engine-mounted secondary (stage 2)
fuel filter
● A fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total)
● A high-pressure fuel pump
● A high-pressure fuel rail for each cylinder
bank (2 total)
● High-pressure fuel lines from the high-
pressure fuel pump to the right bank fuel rail,
right bank fuel rail to the left bank fuel rail,
and fuel rails to fuel injectors.
The stage 1 fuel filter separates water and filters
impurities from the fuel. The stage 2 fuel filter
filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The
stage 1 and stage 2 fuel filters should be
changed at the recommended service interval or
when indicated by the information display. For
additional information, refer to the “Titan Owner’s
Manual”.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1-2Introduction
Page 580 of 636
The water/fuel separator should be drained when
indicated by illumination of the water in fuel warn-
ing light.
Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt water
draining when the water in the fuel filter warning
light illuminates is essential to prevent damage to
fuel injection system components. Ignoring the
water in fuel warning light can cause your vehicle
to go into a reduced power mode.
ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The diesel engine in this vehicle is equipped with
electronically controlled fuel and emission sys-
tems. Both systems monitor engine temperatures
and pressures, and then modify engine operation
accordingly. It is normal for the diesel engine to
operate under these modified conditions for
short durations of time. If the engine operates
under the modified conditions for extended peri-
ods of time, and the service engine soon light is
illuminated, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service
as soon as possible.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
It is important to change the engine oil at the
recommended service intervals to maintain oil
viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change inter-
val beyond the recommended interval can nega-
tively affect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. For additional information, refer to
the “Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
GLOW PLUGS
The diesel engine glow plug system consists of:
● Eight Glow Plugs (one per cylinder)
● Glow Plug Control Module- Uses input from
the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
The glow plugs are energized momentarily when
the ignition is first turned on. The length of time
that the glow plugs are energized varies depend-
ing on engine and environmental conditions. The
required time for the glow plugs to be energized
decreases as coolant temperature increases. For
additional information, refer to the “Starting and
stopping the engine” section of this manual.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate
filter in the exhaust system. The diesel particulate
filter reduces carbon emissions by trapping ex-
haust particulates (soot) before they reach the
tailpipe. You must properly maintain your diesel
particulate filter in order for it to function properly.
Regeneration of the diesel particulate filter oc-
curs automatically during operation above 5 mph
(8 km/h) and requires no actions from the driver.
If you do a lot of idling or stop and go driving, pay attention to maintenance messages that alert you
when you need to drive to activate the automatic
regeneration process. For additional information,
refer to the ”Automatic Regeneration” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic
reduction system designed to reduce emission
levels of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust of your
diesel engine. This system relies on the use of
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that you must replen-
ish at certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes contaminated
will result in vehicle speed limitation to 5 mph. For
additional information, refer to the ”Meters and
gauges” and “Capacities and Specifications”
sections of this manual.
Introduction1-3
Page 584 of 636
Low Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
warning light
When this warning light illuminates, the DEF fluid
needs to be topped off.
For additional information, refer to the “Fuel and
refueling” section of this manual.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning
light
When the warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the
specified amount of the limit in the filter and the
filter needs to regenerate. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Diesel Particulate Filter” in the
“Maintenance” section of this manual.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warn-
ing light on without performing the filter
regeneration, this will lead to particle mat-
ter overload in the filter. If this happens,
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will
turn on to indicate the necessity that a
NISSAN or qualified dealer performs the
service regeneration. The performance of
the engine might be limited to protect the
DPF system.
Vehicle information display
The vehicle information display shows various
meters and gauges that pertain to the diesel
engine. The information that can be found within
the vehicle information display is as follows:
Exhaust temperature gauge
The exhaust temperature gauge is part of the
Auxiliary Gauges in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Turbo meter
The turbo meter shows the amount of engine
boost.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) LEVEL
This gauge indicates the level of DEF in the diesel
system.
The DEF LEVEL information screen can be
turned ON/OFF in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “How to use
the vehicle information display” in the “Vehicle
information display” section of the owner’s
manual.
Water in Fuel warning light
If this light illuminates, pull off of the road in a safe
area, stop the engine and immediately drain the
water from the fuel sediment filter. For additional
information, refer to “Draining water” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
Malfunction Warning Light (red)
If the warning light illuminates this indicates either
coolant temperature is above a critical threshold
or the exhaust temperatures are above a critical
threshold. When illuminated this lamp indicates
the need to stop the engine as soon as it can be
safely done. The engine must remain shut down
until the engine can be repaired.
