●Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
●Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
●When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
●Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for All Mode 4 × 4 SystemEAS000GQ
Even if the 2WD mode is selected, the All mode 4 × 4 system occasionally changes from 2WD to 4WD auto-
matically depending on the driving conditions.
When spinning the front wheels by running the engine with the front wheels jacked up or mounted on the free
rollers / or a chassis dynamometer, be careful because the vehicle may suddenly move due to the driving
force from the rear wheels.
To avoid personal injury and vehicle damage, use one of the following methods when working with the front
wheels drive force and spinning freely.
● Remove the propeller shaft.
● Use free rollers / chassis dynamometer designed for 4WD vehicles.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS000FR
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
●Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
●When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.
●Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for FuelEAS000P9
GASOLINE ENGINE
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel
other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could
also affect the warranty coverage validity.
DIESEL ENGINE
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following temper-
ature conditions.
●Above –7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
●Below –7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.

CAUTION:
●All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
●It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
●Always attach safety chains before towing.
●When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
●Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on
the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your
vehicle beplaced on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
TOWING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE MODEL WITH FOUR WHEELS ON GROUND
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
CAUTION:
Never tow an automatic transaxle model from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground
as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transaxle.

TOWING THE VEHICLE WITH REAR WHEELS RAISED (WITH FRONT WHEELS ON GROUND)
OR FRONT WHEELS RAISED
Never tow the vehicle with rear wheels raised (with front wheels on
ground) or front wheels raised as this may cause serious and expen-
sive damage to the transaxle. If it is necessary to tow it with rear
wheels raised or front wheels raised, always use a towing dolly
under the front wheels.
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
front and rear propeller shafts beforehand to prevent damage to the
transaxle.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a stuck vehicle) EAS000FM
●Use the towing hook only, not other parts of the vehicle. Other-
wise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
●Use the towing hook only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using only
the towing hook.
●The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a
stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front or
rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at an angle.
●Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
WARNING:
●Do not spin the tires at high speed. This could cause them
to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of the vehicle
could also overheat and be damaged.
