PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELTUSAGEIf you are wearing the seat belt properly adjustedand sitting upright and well back in the seat, chancesof being injured or killed in an accident and/or theseverity of injury may be greatly reduced. NISSANstrongly encourages you and all of your passengersto buckle up every time you drive, even if your seat-ing position includes the supplemental air bag sys-tems.

WARNING

• Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bonystructure of the body, and should be worn lowacross the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearingthe lap section of the belt across the abdomi-nal area must be avoided. Serious injury mayoccur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

• Position the lap belt as low and snug as pos-sible around the hips, not the waist. A lap beltworn too high could increase the risk of inter-nal injuries in an accident.

• Do not allow more than one person to use thesame seat belt. Each belt assembly must onlybe used by one occupant; it is dangerous toput a belt around a child being carried on theoccupant’s lap.

• Never carry more people in the vehicle thanthere are seat belts.

• Never wear seat belts inside out. Belts shouldnot be worn with straps twisted. Doing so mayreduce their effectiveness.

• Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly aspossible, consistent with comfort, to providethe protection for which they have been de-signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.

• Every person who drives or rides in this ve-hicle should use a seat belt at all times. Chil-dren should be properly restrained in the rearseat and, if appropriate, in a child restraintsystem.

• Do not run the belt behind your back or underyour arm. Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across your chest. The beltshould be away from your face and neck, butnot falling off your shoulder. Serious injurymay occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

NPA930Z

Sit upright and well back.

SEAT BELTS


• No modifications or additions should be madeby the user which will either prevent the seatbelt adjusting devices from operating to re-move slack, or prevent the seat belt assemblyfrom being adjusted to remove slack.

• Care should be taken to avoid contaminationof the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaningmay safely be carried out using mild soap andwater. The belt should be replaced if webbingbecomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

• All seat belt assemblies including retractorsand attaching hardware should be inspectedafter any collision by a NISSAN dealer or quali-fied workshop. NISSAN recommends that allseat belt assemblies in use during a collisionbe replaced unless the collision was minorand the belts show no damage and continueto operate properly. Seat belt assemblies notin use during a collision should also be in-spected and, when necessary, replaced if ei-ther damage or improper operation is noted.

• It is essential to replace the entire assemblyafter it has been worn in a severe impact evenif damage to the assembly is not obvious.

• Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has acti-vated, it cannot be reused. It must be replacedtogether with the retractor. Contact a NISSANdealer or qualified workshop.

• Removal and installation of the pre-tensionerseat belt system components should be doneby a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING

• Infants and children need special protection.The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them prop-erly. The shoulder belt may come too close tothe face or neck. The lap belt may not fit overtheir small hipbones. In an accident, an im-properly fitted seat belt could cause seriousor fatal injury.

• Always use an appropriate child restraint sys-tem.

Children need adults to help protect them. Theyneed to be properly restrained. The proper restraintdepends on the child’s size.

Infants and small childrenNISSAN recommends that infants and small chil-dren be seated in a child restraint system. Youshould choose a child restraint system that fits your

vehicle and the child, and always follow the manu-facturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Large children

WARNING

• Never allow children to stand or kneel on anyseats.

• Never allow children in the cargo areas whilethe vehicle is moving. A child could be seri-ously injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Children who are too large for a child restraint sys-tem should be seated and restrained by the seatbelts that are provided.

If the child’s seating position has a shoulder belt thatfits close to the face or neck, the use of a boosterseat (commercially available) may help overcomethis. The booster seat should raise the child so thatthe shoulder belt is properly positioned across thetop, middle portion of the shoulder and the lap beltis low on the hips. The booster seat should also fitthe vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so thatthe shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face orneck of the child, use the shoulder belt without thebooster seat. In addition, there are many types ofchild restraint systems available for larger childrenthat should be used for maximum protection.

PREGNANT WOMENNISSAN recommends that pregnant women useseat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, andalways position the lap belt as low as possiblearound the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder

SSS0099Z


belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Neverrun the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONSNISSAN recommends that injured persons use seatbelts. Contact your doctor for specific recommen-dations.

CENTRE MARK ON SEAT BELTS(where fitted)

Selecting correct set of seat beltsThe centre seat belt buckle is identified by the CEN-TER mark. The centre seat belt tongue can be fas-tened only into the centre seat belt buckle.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS

WARNING

Every person who drives or rides in this vehicleshould use a seat belt at all times.

Fastening seat belts

WARNING

The seatback should not be in a reclined positionany more than needed for comfort. Seat belts aremost effective when the passenger sits well backand straight up in the seat.

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” earlier in this sec-tion.)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor andinsert the tongue into the buckle until you hearand feel the latch engage.

The retractor is designed to lock during a sud-

den stop or on impact. A slow pulling motionpermits the seat belt to move, and allows yousome freedom of movement in the seat.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on thehips as shown.

Rear centre seat belt (for second rowseat - where fitted)The rear centre seat belt has a connector tongue j1and a seat belt tongue j2 . Both the connectortongue and the seat belt tongue must be securelylatched for proper seat belt operation.

WARNING

• Always fasten the connector tongue and theseat belt in the order shown.

• Always make sure both the connector tongueand the seat belt tongue are secured whenusing the seat belt. Do not use it with only theseat belt tongue attached. This could result inserious personal injury in case of an accidentor a sudden stop.

Stowing rear centre seat belt:

When folding down the rear seat, the rear centreseat belt can be retracted into a stowed position.

1. Hold the connector tongue j1 so that the seatbelt does not retract suddenly when the tongueis released from the connector buckle.

2. Insert a suitable tool such as key jA into the con-nector buckle to release the connector tonguej1 .

3. Fold the connector as illustrated j2 .

4. Store the connector tongue into the retractorbase j3 .

WARNING

• Do not unfasten the rear centre seat belt con-nector except when folding down the rearseat.

• When attaching the rear centre seat belt con-nector, be certain that the seatbacks are com-pletely secured in the latched position andthe rear centre seat belt connector is com-pletely secured.

• If the rear centre seat belt connector and theseatbacks are not secured in the correct posi-tion, serious personal injury may result in anaccident or sudden stop.

Attaching rear centre seat belt:

Always be sure the rear centre seat belt connectortongue and connector buckle are attached. Discon-nect only when folding down the rear seat.

To connect the buckle:

1. Pull out the seat belt tongue from the retractorbase j1 .

2. Pull the seat belt and fasten the connector buckleuntil it clicks j2 .

The centre seat belt connector tongue can be at-tached only into the rear centre seat belt connectorbuckle.

To fasten the seat belt, see “Fastening seat belts”earlier in this section.

WARNING

When attaching the rear centre seat belt connec-tor, be certain that the seatbacks are completelysecured in the latched position and the rear cen-tre seat belt connector is completely secured.

Unfastening seat beltsPush the button on the buckle. The seat belt auto-matically retracts.

Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock seat beltmovement:

• When the seat belt is pulled quickly from theretractor.

• When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts, checkthe operation by grasping the shoulder belt and pull-ing forward quickly. The retractor should lock andrestrict further belt movement. If the retractor doesnot lock during this check, contact a NISSAN dealeror qualified workshop immediately.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILDRESTRAINT USAGE

WARNING

• Infants and small children should always beplaced in an appropriate child restraint whileriding in the vehicle. Failure to use a childrestraint can result in serious injury or death.

• Infants and small children should never becarried on your lap. It is not possible for eventhe strongest adult to resist the forces of asevere accident. The child could be crushedbetween the adult and parts of the vehicle.Also, do not put the same seat belt aroundboth your child and yourself.

• NISSAN recommends that the child restraintsbe installed in the rear seat. According to ac-cident statistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seat than in the frontseat.

CHILD RESTRAINTS


• Improper use or improper installation of achild restraint can increase the risk or sever-ity of injury for both the child and other occu-pants of the vehicle and can lead to seriousinjury or death in an accident.

• Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer’sinstructions for installation and use. Whenpurchasing a child restraint, be sure to selectone which will fit your child and vehicle. It maynot be possible to properly install some typesof child restraint in your vehicle.

• The direction of the child restraint, eitherfront-facing or rear-facing, depends on thetype of the child restraint and the size of thechild. Refer to the child restraint manufactur-er’s instructions for details.

• Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned tofit the child restraint, but as upright as pos-sible.

• After attaching a child restraint, test it beforeyou place the child in it. Push it from side toside and tug it forward to make sure that it isheld securely in place. The child restraintshould not move more than 25 mm (1 in). Ifthe restraint is not secure, tighten the belt asnecessary, or install the restraint in anotherseat and test it again.

• When the child restraint is not in use, keep itsecured with the ISOFIX child restraint sys-tem or a seat belt to prevent it from beingthrown around in case of a sudden stop oraccident.

• Never install a rear-facing child restraint onthe front passenger’s seat when the front pas-senger’s air bag is available. Supplementalfront-impact air bags inflate with great force.A rear-facing child restraint could be struckby the supplemental front-impact air bags inan accident and could seriously injure or killyour child.

• If the seat belt in the position where a childrestraint is installed requires a locking deviceand if it is not used, injuries could result froma child restraint tipping over during normalvehicle braking or cornering.

CAUTION

Remember that a child restraint left in a closedvehicle can become very hot. Check the seatingsurface and buckles before placing your child ina child restraint.

NISSAN recommends that infants and small chil-dren be seated in a child restraint. You shouldchoose a child restraint that fits your vehicle andalways follow the manufacturer’s instructions for in-stallation and use. In addition, there are many typesof child restraints available for larger children thatshould be used for maximum protection.

UNIVERSAL CHILD RESTRAINTS FORFRONT SEAT AND REAR SEATSWhen selecting any child restraint, keep the follow-ing points in mind:

• Choose a child restraint that complies with thelatest European safety standard, ECE Regula-tion 44.03.

• Place your child in the child restraint and checkthe various adjustments to be sure the child re-straint is compatible with your child. Always fol-low all of the recommended procedures.

• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to besure it is compatible with vehicle’s seat belt sys-tem.

• Refer to the tables later in this section for a list ofthe recommended fitment positions and the ap-proved child restraints for your vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTALRESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sectioncontains important information concerning the driv-er’s and passenger’s supplemental front-impact airbags, supplemental side-impact air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts.

Supplemental front-impact air bagsystemThis system can help cushion the impact force tothe head and chest area of the driver and/or frontpassenger (where fitted) in certain frontal collisions.The supplemental front-impact air bag is designedto inflate on the front where the vehicle is impacted.

Supplemental side-impact air bagsystem (where fitted)This system can help cushion the impact force tothe chest area of the driver and front passenger incertain side-impact collisions. The supplementalside-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the sidewhere the vehicle is impacted.

The SRS is designed to supplement the accidentprotection provided by the driver’s and passenger’sseat belts and is not designed to substitute forthem. The SRS can help save lives and reduce seri-ous injuries. However, inflating air bags may causeabrasions or other injuries. Air bags do not provideprotection to the lower body. Seat belts should al-ways be correctly worn and the occupants shouldalways be seated a suitable distance away from thesteering wheel and instrument panel. (See “Seat

belts” earlier in this section). The air bags inflatequickly in order to help protect the occupants. Theforce of the air bags inflating can increase the risk ofinjury if the occupants are too close to, or areagainst, the air bag modules during inflation. The airbags will deflate quickly after deployment.

The SRS operates only when the ignition switchis in the ON or START position.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,the SRS air bag warning light illuminates forabout 7 seconds and then turns off. This indi-cates that the SRS air bag system is operational.(See “SRS air bag warning light” later in this sec-tion.)

WARNING

• The supplemental front-impact air bags ordi-narily will not inflate in the event of a sideimpact, rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-ity frontal collision. Always wear the seat beltsto help reduce the risk or severity of injury inaccidents.

• The seat belts and the supplemental front-im-pact air bags are most effective when you aresitting well back and upright in the seat. Thefront-impact air bags inflate with great force.If you and your passengers are unrestrained,leaning forward, sitting sideways, or out ofposition in any way, you and your passengersare at greater risk of injury or death in an acci-dent. You and your passengers may also re-ceive serious or fatal injuries from the supple-mental front-impact air bag if you are upagainst it when it inflates. Always sit back

against the seatback and as far away as prac-tical from the steering wheel or instrumentpanel. Always use the seat belts.

WARNING

• Never let children ride unrestrained or extendtheir hands or face out of the window. Do notattempt to hold them in your lap or arms.Some examples of dangerous riding positionsare shown in the illustrations.

• Children may be severely injured or killedwhen the supplemental front-impact air bags,supplemental side-impact air bags, or supple-mental curtain side-impact air bags inflate ifthey are not properly restrained.

• Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-tem on the front seat. An inflating supplemen-tal front-impact air bag could seriously injureor kill your child. (See “Child restraints” ear-lier in this section.)

WARNING

• The supplemental side-impact air bags(where fitted) ordinarily will not inflate in theevent of a front impact, rear impact, rollover,or lower severity side collision. Always wearthe seat belts to help reduce the risk or sever-ity of injury in accidents.

• The seat belts and the supplemental side-im-pact air bags are most effective when you aresitting well back and upright in the seat. The

supplemental side-impact air bags inflate withgreat force. If you and your passengers areunrestrained, leaning forward, sitting side-ways, or out of position in any way, you andyour passengers are at greater risk of injuryor death in an accident.

• Do not allow anyone to place their hands, legs,or face near the supplemental side-impact airbags on the sides of the seatback of the frontseats. Do not allow anyone sitting in the frontseats to extend their hands out of the win-dows or lean against the doors. Some ex-amples of dangerous riding positions areshown in the illustrations.

• When sitting in the rear seats, do not holdonto the seatback of the front seats. If thesupplemental side-impact air bags inflate, youmay be seriously injured. Be especially care-ful with children, who should always be prop-erly restrained.

• Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks.They may interfere with the supplementalside-impact air bag inflations.

Pre-tensioner seat belt systemThe pre-tensioner seat belt system activates in con-junction with the supplemental front-impact air bag.Working with the seat belt retractor and anchor, ithelps tighten the seat belt the instant the vehiclebecomes involved in certain types of collisions, help-ing to restrain front seat occupants. (See “Pre-tensioner seat belt system” later in this section.)

Air bag warning labelsWarning labels about the supplemental air bag sys-tem are placed in the vehicle as shown in the illus-tration.

SRS air bag:

The warning label j1 is located on the surface ofthe passenger’s sun visor.

SRS front-impact passenger air bag (where fit-ted):

The warning label j2 is located on the side of thepassenger’s side instrument panel.

This label warns you not to fit a rear-facing childrestraint system on the front passenger seat as sucha restraint system used in this position could causeserious injury to the infant in case of air bag deploy-ment during a collision.

In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passengerair bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint sys-tem only on the rear seats.

“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing childrestraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front ofit!”

When installing a child restraint system in your ve-hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-facturer’s instructions for installation.

For additional information, see “Child restraints”earlier in this section.

SRS air bag warning lightThe SRS air bag warning light, displaying inthe instrument panel, monitors the circuits of thesupplemental front-impact air bag, supplementalside-impact air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt sys-tems. The circuits monitored by the SRS air bagwarning light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crashzone sensor, satellite sensors, front-impact air bagmodules, side-impact air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts and all related wiring.

When the ignition switch is in the ON or STARTposition, the SRS air bag warning light illuminates

for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This indi-cates that the SRS air bag systems are operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the air bagand/or pre-tensioner seat belt systems need servic-ing:

• The SRS air bag warning light remains on afterapproximately 7 seconds.

• The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-tently.

• The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-nate at all.

Under these conditions, the supplemental front-im-pact air bag, supplemental side-impact air bag, orpre-tensioner seat belt systems may not operateproperly. They must be checked and repaired. Con-tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop imme-diately.SPA1097Z

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS

WARNING

• Do not place any objects on the steering wheelpad, the instrument panel and the front seats.Do not place any objects between any occu-

pants and the steering wheel pad, on the in-strument panel and the front seats. Such ob-jects may become dangerous projectiles andcause injury if a supplemental air bag inflates.

• Immediately after inflation, several supple-mental air bag system components will be hot.Do not touch them: you may severely burnyourself.

• No unauthorised changes should be made toany components or wiring of the supplemen-tal air bag systems. This is to prevent acci-dental inflation of the supplemental air bagsor damage to the supplemental air bag sys-tems.

• Do not make unauthorised changes to yourvehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-tem, front end structure, and side panels. Thiscould affect proper operation of the supple-mental air bag systems.

• Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-tems may result in serious personal injury.Tampering includes changes to the steeringwheel and the instrument panel by placingmaterials over the steering wheel pad andabove, around or on the instrument panel orby installing additional trim materials aroundthe supplemental air bag systems.

• Work around and on the supplemental air bagsystems should be done by a NISSAN dealeror qualified workshop. The SRS wiring shouldnot be modified or disconnected. Unautho-

SSS0705


rised electrical test equipment and probingdevices should not be used on the supple-mental air bag systems.

• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-low and/or orange for easy identification.

When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may beheard, followed by the release of smoke. This smokeis not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Careshould be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-tation and choking. Those with a history of a breath-ing condition should get fresh air promptly.

Supplemental front-impact air bagsystemThe driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag islocated at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag (ifequipped) is located at the instrument panel abovethe glove box.

The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,although it may inflate if the forces in another type ofcollision are similar to those of a higher severity fron-tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always anindication of proper supplemental front-impact airbag system operation.

Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-ted):

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, thefront passenger air bag status light on the instru-ment panel illuminates for about 7 seconds and thenturns off. This indicates that the front passenger airbag system is operational.

When the front passenger air bag is turned off withthe front passenger air bag switch, the front pas-senger air bag status light will illuminate and remainon as long as the front passenger air bag switch isin the OFF position.

WARNING

If any of the following conditions occur after theignition switch is turned to the ON position, havethe system checked, and if necessary repaired,by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshoppromptly.

• The front passenger air bag status light re-mains on after approximately 7 seconds.

• The front passenger air bag status light doesnot illuminate at all.

Unless checked and repaired, the front passen-ger air bag system may not function properly.

Front passenger air bag switch (where fitted):

The front passenger air bag can be turned off withthe front passenger air bag switch jA located onthe side of the instrument panel on the front passen-ger’s side.

To turn off the front passenger air bag:

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Thefront passenger air bag status light will illuminatethen turn off.

Supplemental side-impact air bagsystem (where fitted)The supplemental side-impact air bag is located atthe outside of the front seats’ seatbacks.

The supplemental side-impact air bag system is de-signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,although it may inflate if the forces in another type of

collision are similar to those of a higher severity sideimpact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-cation of proper supplemental side-impact air bagsystem operation.

PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELTSYSTEM (where fitted)

WARNING

• The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reusedafter activation. It must be replaced togetherwith the retractor and buckle as a unit.

• If the vehicle becomes involved in a collisionbut the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sureto have the pre-tensioner system checkedand, if necessary, replaced by a NISSANdealer or qualified workshop.

• No unauthorised changes should be made toany components or wiring of the pre-tensionerseat belt system. This is to prevent accidentalactivation of the pre-tensioner seat belt ordamage to the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-tem.

• Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat beltsystem should be done by a NISSAN dealer orqualified workshop. The SRS wiring shouldnot be modified or disconnected. Unautho-rised electrical test equipment and probingdevices should not be used on the pre-ten-sioner seat belt system.

• If you need to dispose of the pre-tensionerseat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contacta NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. Cor-rect pre-tensioner disposal procedures areset forth in the appropriate NISSAN ServiceManual. Incorrect disposal procedures couldcause personal injury.

The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seatbelt’s retractor and anchor. These seat belts areused the same as conventional seat belts.

When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, a fairlyloud noise may be heard, followed by the release ofsmoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indi-cate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, asit may cause irritation and choking. Those with a his-tory of a breathing condition should get fresh airpromptly.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENTPROCEDURE

WARNING

• Once the air bags have been inflated, the airbag modules will not function and must bereplaced. The air bag modules must be re-placed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-shop. The inflated air bag modules cannot berepaired.

(* immobilizer)

NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS)The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) will not al-low the engine to start without the use of the regis-tered NATS key, integrated keyfob or Intelligent Key.

If the engine does not start using the registered key,it may be due to interference caused by:

• Another NATS key, integrated keyfob or Intelli-gent Key.

• Automated toll road device.

• Automated payment device.

• Other devices that transmit similar signals.

Start the engine using the following procedure:

1. Remove any items that may be causing the inter-ference away from the key.

2. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position forapproximately 5 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCKposition, and wait approximately 10 seconds.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 again.

5. Start the engine.

6. Repeat the steps above until all possible interfer-ences are eliminated.

If this procedure allows the engine to start, NISSAN

recommends placing the registered key separatefrom other devices to avoid interference.

Security indicator lightThe security indicator light is located on the meterpanel. It indicates the status of NATS.

The light operates whenever the ignition switch is inthe LOCK, “OFF” or ACC position. The securityindicator light indicates that the security systems onthe vehicle are operational.

If NATS is malfunctioning, this light will remain onwhile the ignition switch is in the ON position.

If the light remains on and/or the engine doesnot start, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualifiedworkshop for NATS service as soon as possible.Be sure to bring all keys that you have when vis-iting a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop forservice.

For Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model:

If NATS is malfunctioning, the security indicator light

will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ONposition. However, if the security indicator light turnsoff after 15 minutes, you can start the engine once.See a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop forNATS service as soon as possible.

dition and road grade. Always check with youreyes directly around the vehicle while revers-ing.

• The distance guide line and the vehicle widthline should be used as a reference only whenthe vehicle is on a level paved surface. Thedistance viewed on the monitor is for refer-ence only and may be different than the ac-tual distance between the vehicle and dis-played objects.

• When reversing the vehicle up a hill, objectsviewed in the monitor are further than theyappear. When reversing the vehicle down ahill, objects viewed in the monitor are closerthan they appear. Use the inside mirror orglance over your shoulder to properly judgedistances to other objects.

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width anddistances to objects with reference to the bumperline jA are displayed on the monitor.

They are indicated as reference distances to ob-jects. Displayed lines indicate distances 0.5 m (red)j1 , 1 m (yellow) j2 , 2 m (green) j3 and 3 m (green)j4 [1.5 feet (red), 3 feet (yellow), 7 feet (green) and10 feet (green)] from the lower part of the bumperline jA .

OPERATING TIPS

• When the shift lever is shifted to R (Reverse), themonitor screen automatically changes to the rearview monitor mode. However, the radio can beheard.

• It may take some time until the rear view monitoror the normal screen is displayed after the shiftlever has been shifted to R (Reverse) from an-other position or to another position from R (Re-verse). Objects may be distorted momentarilyuntil the rear view monitor screen is displayedcompletely.

• When the temperature is extremely high or low,the screen may not clearly display objects. Thisis not a malfunction.

• When strong light directly enters the camera,objects may not be displayed clearly. This is nota malfunction.

• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on thescreen. This is due to strong reflected light fromthe bumper. This is not a malfunction.

• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.This is not a malfunction.

• The colours of objects on the rear view monitormay differ somewhat from those of the actualobject.

• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in adark place or at night. This is not a malfunction.

• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, therear view monitor may not clearly display ob-jects. Clean the camera.

• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to cleanthe camera. This will cause discolouration. To

clean the camera, wipe with a cloth dampenedwith diluted mild cleaning agent and then wipewith a dry cloth.

• Do not damage the camera as the monitor screenmay be adversely affected.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow theserecommendations to obtain maximum engine per-formance and ensure the future reliability andeconomy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow theserecommendations may result in shortened enginelife and reduced engine performance.

• Do not drive at a constant speed, either fast orslow, for long periods of time.

• Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm (HR16DEengine) or 2,500 rpm (K9K engine).

• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.

• Do not start quickly.

• Do not brake hard as much as possible.

• Do not tow a trailer for at least the first 800 km(500 miles).

WARNING

The driving characteristics of your vehicle willchange remarkably by any additional load and itsdistribution, as well as by adding optional equip-ment (trailer coupling, roof racks, etc.). Your driv-ing style and speed must be adjusted accordingto the circumstances. Especially when carryingheavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-equately.

• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.

• Visually inspect tyres for their appearance andcondition. Measure and check the tyre pressurefor proper inflation.

• Check that all windows and lights are clean.

• Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.

• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror po-sitions.

• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers todo the same.

• Check that all doors are closed.

• Check the operation of the warning lights whenthe ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

• Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance anddo-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-odically.

WARNING

• Never leave children or adults who would nor-mally require the support of others alone inyour vehicle. Pets should not be left aloneeither. They could unknowingly activateswitches or controls and inadvertentlybecome involved in a serious accident andinjure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-peratures in a closed vehicle could quicklybecome high enough to cause severe or pos-sibly fatal illness to people or animals.

• Properly secure all luggage to help prevent itfrom sliding or shifting. Do not place luggagehigher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stopor collision, unsecured luggage could causepersonal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

• Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains co-lourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Car-bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-consciousness or death.

• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fullyopen, and have the vehicle inspected imme-diately.

• Do not run the engine in closed spaces suchas a garage.

RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE BEFORE STARTING ENGINE PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTINGAND DRIVING

5-2 Starting and driving

• Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-ning for an extended period of time.

• Keep the back door closed while driving, oth-erwise exhaust gas could be drawn into thepassenger compartment. If you must drivewith the back door open, follow these precau-tions:

– Open all the windows.

– Turn the air recirculation mode off and setthe fan speed control to the highest levelto circulate the air.

• If electrical wiring or other cable connectionsmust pass to a trailer through the seal of theback door or the body, follow the manufactur-er’s recommendation to prevent carbon mon-oxide entry into the vehicle.

• If a special body or other equipment is addedfor recreational or other usage, follow themanufacturer’s recommendation to preventcarbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.(Some recreational vehicle appliances suchas stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may alsogenerate carbon monoxide.)

• The exhaust system and body should be in-spected by a qualified mechanic whenever:

– Your vehicle is raised while being serviced.

– You suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-ing into the passenger compartment.

– You notice a change in the sound of theexhaust system.

– You have had an accident involving dam-age to the exhaust system, underbody, orrear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST (petrol enginemodel)

WARNING

• The exhaust gas and the exhaust system arevery hot. Keep people, animals and flammablematerials away from the exhaust system com-ponents.

• Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-mable materials such as dry grass, wastepa-per or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.


The three-way catalyst is an emission control deviceinstalled in the exhaust system. Exhaust gas in thethree-way catalyst is burned at high temperatures tohelp reduce pollutants.

CAUTION

• Do not use leaded petrol. (See “Recom-mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” in the“9. Technical information” section.) Depositsfrom leaded petrol seriously reduce the abil-ity of the three-way catalyst to help reduceexhaust pollutants and/or damage the three-way catalyst.

• Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions inthe ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-tems may cause overrich fuel to flow into the

three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat. Donot keep driving if the engine misfires, or ifnoticeable loss of performance or other un-usual operating conditions are detected. Havethe vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSANdealer or qualified workshop.

• Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.Running out of fuel could cause the engine tomisfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.

• Do not race the engine while warming it up.

• Do not push or tow your vehicle to start theengine.

Starting and driving 5-3

Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, youshould be the one who knows best how to drive inthe given circumstances.

ENGINE COLD START PERIODDue to the higher engine speeds, when the engineis cold, extra caution must be exercised when se-lecting a gear during the engine warm-up periodafter starting the engine.

LOADING LUGGAGELoads and their distribution and the attachment ofequipment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers,etc.) will considerably change the driving character-istics of the vehicle. Your driving style and speedmust be adjusted according to the circumstances.

DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS

• Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.

• Avoid sharp turning or lane changing suddenly.

• Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.

When water covers the road surface with waterpuddles, small water streams, etc., reduce speed toprevent hydroplaning which can cause skidding andloss of control. Worn tyres will increase this risk.

DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS

• Drive cautiously.

• Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.

• Avoid sharp turning or lane changing suddenly.

• Avoid sudden steering.

• Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.WARNING

Never remove the key or turn the ignition switchto the LOCK position while driving. The steeringwheel will lock and could cause the driver to losecontrol of the vehicle. This could result in seriousvehicle damage or personal injury.

DRIVING VEHICLE


Upshift indicatorThe manual transmission upshift indicator is locatedin the tachometer and shows the driver the timing toshift into a higher gear by illuminating. The use of theupshift indicator will help you to upshift at a constantengine speed from any gear.

The upshift indicator will illuminate when the enginespeed reaches the set figure while driving.

The engine speed for upshifting can be set in thesetting mode of the vehicle information display. See“Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instrumentsand controls” section.

There may be a slight difference between thetiming of the upshift indicator illumination andthe tachometer indication.

Suggested maximum speed in each gearDownshift to a lower gear if the engine is not run-ning smoothly, or if you need to accelerate.

Do not exceed the maximum suggested speed(shown below) in any gear. For level road driving,use the highest gear suggested for that speed. Al-ways observe posted speed limits, and drive ac-cording to the road conditions which will ensuresafe operation. Do not over-rev the engine whenshifting to a lower gear as it may cause engine dam-age or loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

• The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) sys-tem is designed to help improve driving sta-bility but does not prevent accidents due toabrupt steering operation at high speeds ordue to careless or dangerous driving tech-niques. Reduce vehicle speed and be espe-cially careful when driving and cornering onslippery surfaces and always drive carefully.

• If engine related parts such as a muffler arenot standard equipment or are extremely de-teriorated, the ESP OFF indicator or “SLIP”indicator or both indicator lights may illumi-nate.

• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. Ifsuspension parts such as shock absorbers,struts, springs, stabiliser bars and bushingsare not NISSAN-approved or are extremelydeteriorated the ESP system may not operateproperly. This could adversely affect vehiclehandling performance, and the ESP OFF indi-cator or “SLIP” indicator or both indicatorlights may illuminate.

• If brake related parts such as brake pads, ro-tors and callipers are not standard equipmentor are extremely deteriorated, the ESP OFFindicator or “SLIP” indicator or both indicatorlights may illuminate.

• When driving on extremely inclined surfacessuch as higher banked corners, the ESP sys-tem may not operate properly and the ESP

SSD0879Z

ELECTRONIC STABILITYPROGRAMME (ESP) (where fitted)


OFF indicator or “SLIP” indicator or both indi-cator lights may illuminate. Do not drive onthese types of roads.

• When driving on unstable surfaces such as aturntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the ESP OFFindicator or “SLIP” indicator or both indicatorlights may illuminate. This is not a malfunc-tion. Restart the engine after driving onto astable surface.

• If wheels or tyres other than those recom-mended are used, the ESP system may notoperate properly and ESP OFF indicator or“SLIP” indicator or both indicator lights mayilluminate.

• The ESP system is not a substitute for wintertyres or tyre chains on a snow-covered road.

When accelerating or driving on slippery surfaces,the tyres may spin or slide. With the Electronic Sta-bility Programme (ESP) system, sensors detectthese movements and control the braking and en-gine output to help improve vehicle stability.

• When the ESP system is operating, the “SLIP”indicator in the instrument panel blinks.

• If the “SLIP” indicator blinks, the road conditionsare slippery. Be sure to adjust your speed anddriving to these conditions. Be sure to drive care-fully. (See “Slip indicator light (where fitted)” inthe “2. Instruments and controls” section and“Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) off indi-cator light (where fitted)” in the “2. Instrumentsand controls” section.)

• Indicator light

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the “SLIP”and ESP OFF indicator lights illumi-

nate in the instrument panel. As long as theseindicators are illuminated, the ESP system func-tion is cancelled.

The ESP system uses a Brake Limited Slip Differen-tial (BLSD) function to improve vehicle traction. TheBLSD system works when one of the driving wheelsis spinning on a slippery surface. The BLSD systembrakes the spinning wheel, which distributes thedriving power to the other drive wheel. If the vehicleis operated with the ESP system turned off, all ESPsystem functions will be turned off.

The BLSD system and ABS will still operate with theESP system off. If the BLSD system is activated, the“SLIP” indicator light will blink and you may hear aclunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.This is normal and is not an indication of a malfunc-tion.

While the ESP system is operating, you may feel apulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or feela vibration from under the bonnet. This is normaland indicates that the ESP system is working prop-erly.

The ESP system computer has a built-in diagnosticfeature that tests the system each time you start theengine and move the vehicle at a low speed forwardor backward. When the self-test occurs, you mayhear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in thefootbrake pedal. This is normal and is not an indica-tion of a malfunction.

ELECTRONIC STABILITYPROGRAMME (ESP) OFF SWITCH

The vehicle should be driven with the ElectronicStability Programme (ESP) system on for most driv-ing conditions.

When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the ESPsystem reduces the engine output to reduce wheelspin. The engine speed will be reduced even if theaccelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximumengine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turnthe ESP system off.

To turn off the ESP system, push the ESP OFFswitch located on the lower side of the instrumentpanel. The indicator light will illuminate.

Push the ESP OFF switch again or restart the en-gine to turn on the system.

WARNING

• Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-per or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.

• Safe parking procedures require that both theparking brake be applied and the shift leverplaced in an appropriate gear. Failure to do socould cause the vehicle to move unexpect-edly or roll away and result in an accident.

• Never leave the engine running while the ve-hicle is unattended.

• Never leave children or adults who would nor-mally require the support of others alone inthe vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-ther. They could unknowingly activateswitches or controls and inadvertentlybecome involved in a serious accident andinjure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-peratures in a closed vehicle could quicklybecome high enough to cause severe or pos-sibly fatal illness to people and animals.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position.When parking on an uphill grade, move the shiftlever to the “1” (1st) position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from moving into traf-fic when parked on an incline, it is a good prac-tice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarilyto carry passengers and luggage.

Towing a trailer will place additional loads on yourvehicle’s engine, drive train, steering, braking andother systems. The towing of a trailer will exagger-ate other conditions such as sway caused by cross-winds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.

Your driving style and speed must be adjusted ac-cording to the circumstances. Before towing atrailer, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshopfor an explanation about the proper use of towingequipment.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in pe-riod.

• Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-tem of the trailer works properly.

• Observe the legal maximum speeds for traileroperation.

Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 MPH).

• Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.

• Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.

• Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.

• Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.

• Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicleand trailer. These devices are available from a

NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop where youcan also obtain more detailed information abouttrailer towing.

• Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weightplus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximumset for the vehicle and the coupling device. Seea NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for moreinformation.

• The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goodsare placed over the axle. The maximum allowablevertical load on the trailer hitch must not be ex-ceeded.

• Have your vehicle serviced more often than atthe intervals specified in a separate maintenancebooklet.

• Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-mal circumstances because of a considerableincrease in traction power and resistance.

While towing a trailer, check the engine coolanttemperature indicator to prevent the vehicle fromoverheating.

TYRE PRESSUREWhen towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to themaximum recommended COLD tyre pressure (forfull loading) indicated on the tyre placard.

Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed witha temporary spare tyre or a compact spare tyre.

TRAILER TOWING


SAFETY CHAINSAlways use a suitable chain between the vehicleand trailer. The chain should be crossed and shouldbe attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumperor axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chainto permit turning corners.

TRAILER BRAKESEnsure that trailer brakes are installed as requiredby local regulations. Also check that all other trailerequipment conforms to local regulations.

Always block the wheels on both the vehicle andtrailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on thetrailer where fitted. Parking on a steep slope is notrecommended.

If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable, place theshift lever in an appropriate gear, and turn the frontwheels towards the curb.

TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)When towing a trailer with a Genuine NISSAN C2tow bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch isused, the electrical system of the vehicle will detectthe additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. Asa result, there will be an additional turn indicator inthe meter dedicated to the trailer.

COUPLING DEVICE INSTALLATIONNISSAN recommends that the coupling device fortrailer towing be installed under the following condi-tions:

• Maximum permissible vertical load on the cou-pling device: 736 N (75 kg, 165 lb)

• The coupling device, mounting points and instal-lation parts on your vehicle: as shown as an ex-ample in the illustration.

• Rear overhang of coupling device: jA 956 mm(37.6 in)

Follow all of the coupling device manufacturer’s in-structions for installation and use.

SSD0882


When removing the spare tyre from the vehicle withthe trailer coupling device installed, it is necessaryto unload the vehicle. (See “Flat tyre” in the “6. Incase of emergency” section for spare tyre removal.)

WARNING

If the engine is not running or is turned off whiledriving, the power assist for the steering will notwork. The steering will be much harder to oper-ate.

When the electric power steering warning lightilluminates with the engine running, the powerassist for the steering will cease operation. Youwill still have control of the vehicle but the steer-ing will be harder to operate.

The electric power steering system is designed toprovide power assist while driving to operate thesteering wheel with light force.

When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly orcontinuously while parking or driving at a very lowspeed, the power assist for the steering wheel willbe reduced. This is to prevent overheating of theelectric power steering system and protect it fromgetting damaged. While the power assist is re-duced, steering wheel operation will become heavy.When the temperature of the electric power steer-ing system goes down, the power assist level willreturn to normal. Avoid repeating such steeringwheel operations that could cause the electricpower steering system to overheat.

You may hear a fricative sound when the steeringwheel is operated quickly. However, this is not amalfunction.

If the electric power steering warning light illu-minates while the engine is running, it may indicatethe electric power steering system is not functioning

properly and may need servicing. Have the electricpower steering system checked by a NISSAN dealeror qualified workshop. (See “Electric power steer-ing warning light” in the “2. Instruments andcontrols” section.)

When the electric power steering warning light illu-minates with the engine running, the power assistfor the steering will cease operation. You will stillhave control of the vehicle. However, greater steer-ing effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and atlow speeds.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGSYSTEM


The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still havebraking ability at two wheels.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brakesThe brake booster aids braking by using enginevacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the ve-hicle by depressing the footbrake pedal. However,greater foot pressure on the footbrake pedal will berequired to stop the vehicle. The stopping distancewill be longer.

If the engine is not running or is turned off while driv-ing, the power assisted brakes will not function.Braking will be harder.

WARNING

Do not coast with the engine stopped.

Using brakesAvoid resting your foot on the footbrake pedal whiledriving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out thebrake linings/pads faster, and increase fuel con-sumption.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakesfrom overheating, reduce speed and downshift to alower gear before going down a slope or long grade.Overheated brakes may reduce braking perfor-mance and could result in loss of vehicle control.

While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when

braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt brak-ing or acceleration could cause the wheels to skidand result in an accident.

Wet brakesWhen 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 pullto one side during braking.

To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speedwhile lightly depressing the brake pedal to heat upthe brakes. Do this until the brakes return to normal.Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until thebrakes function correctly.

Driving uphillWhen starting on a steep grade, it is sometimes dif-ficult to operate both the brake and clutch (for MTmodel). Apply the parking brake to hold the vehicle.Do not slip the clutch. When ready to start, slowlyrelease the parking brake while depressing the ac-celerator pedal and releasing the clutch pedal.

Driving downhillThe engine braking action is effective for controllingthe vehicle while descending hills. The shift levershould be placed in the lower speed position priorto descending.

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 dangerousdriving techniques. It can help maintain ve-hicle control during braking on slippery sur-faces. Remember that stopping distances onslippery surfaces will be longer than on nor-mal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping dis-tances may also be longer on rough, gravel orsnow covered roads, or if you are using tyrechains. Always maintain a safe distance fromthe vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, thedriver is responsible for safety.

• Tyre type and condition may also affect brak-ing effectiveness.

• When replacing tyres, install the specifiedsize of tyres on all four wheels.

• When installing a spare tyre, make surethat it is the proper size and type as speci-fied on the tyre placard. (See “Tyreplacard” in the “9. Technical information”section.)

• For detailed information, see “Tyres andwheels” in the “8. Maintenance anddo-it-yourself” section.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls thebrakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brak-ing or when braking on slippery surfaces. The sys-

BRAKE SYSTEM


tem detects the rotation speed at each wheel andvaries the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheelfrom locking and sliding. By preventing each wheelfrom locking, the system helps the driver maintainsteering control and helps to minimise swerving andspinning on slippery surfaces.

Using systemDepress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depressthe brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but donot pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to pre-vent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle toavoid obstacles.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may re-sult in increased stopping distances.

Self-test featureThe ABS includes electronic sensors, electricpumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. Thecomputer has a built-in diagnostic feature that teststhe system each time you start the engine and movethe vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse.When the self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk”noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. Thisis normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If thecomputer senses a malfunction, it switches the ABSoff and illuminates the ABS warning light on theinstrument panel. The brake system then operatesnormally, but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-

test or while driving, have the vehicle checked by aNISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

Normal operationThe ABS operates at speeds above 5 to 10 km/h (3to 6 MPH). The speed varies according to road con-ditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels areclose to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies andreleases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar topumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel apulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise fromunder the bonnet or feel a vibration from the actua-tor when it is operating. This is normal and indicatesthat the ABS is operating properly. However, thepulsation may indicate that road conditions are haz-ardous and extra care is required while driving.

When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:

• Always take the key with you - even when leav-ing the vehicle in your own garage.

• Close all windows completely and lock all doors.

• Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.Park in a well lit area during the night.

• If the security system is equipped, use it - evenfor a short period.

• Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unat-tended.

• Never leave valuables inside the vehicle. Alwaystake valuables with you.

• Never leave the vehicle documents in the ve-hicle.

• Never leave articles on a roof rack. Remove themfrom the rack and keep and lock them in a safeplace such as inside the boot.

• Never leave the spare key in the vehicle.

VEHICLE SECURITY


WARNING

• Whatever the condition, drive with caution.Accelerate and decelerate with great care. Ifaccelerating or decelerating too fast, the drivewheels will lose even more traction.

• Allow more stopping distance in cold weatherdriving. Braking should be started sooner thanon dry pavement.

• Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle infront of you on slippery roads.

• Wet ice (0°C, 32°F and freezing rain), very coldsnow and ice can be slick and very difficult todrive on. The vehicle will have a lot less trac-tion or grip under these conditions. Try toavoid driving on wet ice until the road is saltedor sanded.

• Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). Thesemay appear on an otherwise clear road inshaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead,brake before reaching it. Try not to brake whileactually on the ice, and avoid any suddensteering manoeuvres.

• Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas underyour vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaustpipe and from around your vehicle.

BATTERYIf the battery is not fully charged during extremelycold weather conditions, the battery fluid may freezeand damage the battery. To maintain maximum effi-

ciency, the battery should be checked regularly. Fordetails, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance anddo-it-yourself” section of this manual.

ENGINE COOLANTIf the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,drain the cooling system, including the engine block.Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, see“Changing engine coolant” in the “8. Maintenanceand do-it-yourself” section of this manual.

TYRE EQUIPMENT1. If you have snow tyres installed on the front/rear

wheels of your vehicle, they should be of thesame size, loading range, construction and type(bias, bias-belted or radial) as the rear/front tyres.

2. If the vehicle is to be operated in severe winterconditions, snow tyres should be installed on allfour wheels.

3. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyresmay be used. However, some countries, prov-inces and states prohibit their use. Check local,state and provincial laws before installing stud-ded tyres.

Skid and traction capabilities of studded snowtyres, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorerthan that of non-studded snow tyres.

4. Snow chains may be used if desired. Make surethey are the proper size for the tyres on yourvehicle and are installed according to the chainmanufacturer’s instructions. Use chain tension-ers when recommended by the tyre chain manu-

facturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links ofthe tyre chains must be secured or removed toprevent the possibility of whipping action dam-age to the fenders or underbody. In addition,drive at a reduced speed, otherwise, your ve-hicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handlingand performance may be adversely affected.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENTIt is recommended that the following items be car-ried in the vehicle during the winter:

• A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove iceand snow from the windows.

• A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jackto give it firm support.

• A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.

Engine block heater (where fitted)

WARNING

Do not use the heater with an ungrounded elec-trical system or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.You can be injured by an electrical shock if youuse an ungrounded connection.

An engine block heater to assist in extreme coldtemperature starting is available through a NISSANdealer or qualified workshop.

COLD WEATHER DRIVING


CORROSION PROTECTIONChemicals used for road surface deicing are ex-tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion andthe deterioration of underbody components such asthe exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brakecables, floor pan and fenders.

In the winter, the underbody must be cleanedperiodically. For additional information, see “Cor-rosion protection” in the “7. Appearance andcare” section of this manual.

For additional protection against rust and corrosion,which may be required in some areas, consult aNISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

In order to maintain the appearance of your vehicle,it is important to take proper care of it.

Whenever possible, park your vehicle inside a ga-rage or in a covered area to minimise the chancesof damaging the paint surface of your vehicle.

When it is necessary to park outside, park in a shadyarea or protect the vehicle with a body cover. Becareful not to scratch the paint surface when put-ting on or removing the body cover.

WASHINGIn the following instances, wash your vehicle as soonas possible to protect the paint surface:

• After a rainfall, which may cause the paint sur-face damage from acid rain.

• After driving on coastal roads, which may causerusting from the sea breeze.

• When contaminants such as soot, bird drop-pings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs get onthe paint surface.

• When dust or mud builds up on the paint sur-face.

1. Wash the vehicle surface with a wet sponge andplenty of water.

2. Clean the vehicle surface gently and thoroughlyusing a mild soap, a special vehicle soap or ageneral purpose dishwashing liquid mixed withclean, lukewarm (never hot) water.

CAUTION

• Do not wash the vehicle with strong house-hold soap, strong chemical detergents, petrolor solvents.

• Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight orwhile the vehicle body is hot, as the paint sur-face may become water-spotted.

• Avoid using tight-napped or rough cloths,such as washing mitts. Care must be takenwhen removing caked-on dirt or other foreignsubstances so the paint surface is notscratched or damaged.

3. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of cleanwater.

4. Use a dampened chamois to dry the paint sur-face and avoid leaving water spots.

When washing the vehicle, take care of the follow-ing:

• Inside flanges, joints and folds on the doors,hatches and bonnet are particularly vulnerable tothe effects of road salt. Therefore, these areasmust be cleaned regularly.

• Be sure that the drain holes in the lower edge ofthe doors are not clogged.

• Spray water to the underbody and in the wheelwells to loosen the dirt and/or wash away roadsalt.

REMOVING SPOTSRemove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects,and tree sap as quickly as possible from the paintsurface to avoid lasting damage or staining. Specialcleaning products are available at a NISSAN dealeror qualified workshop or any automotive accessorystore.

WAXINGRegular waxing protects the paint surface and helpsmaintain a new vehicle appearance.

After waxing, polishing is recommended to removebuilt-up residue and to avoid a weathered appear-ance.

A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop can assistyou in choosing the appropriate waxing products.

CAUTION

• Wash your vehicle thoroughly and completelybefore applying wax to the paint surface.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructionssupplied with the wax.

• Do not use a wax containing any abrasives,cutting compounds or cleaners that may dam-age the vehicle finish.

Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on abase coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finishor leave swirl marks.

CLEANING EXTERIOR

7-2 Appearance and care

GLASSUse glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust filmfrom the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass tobecome coated with a film after the vehicle is parkedin the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth willeasily remove this film.

UNDERBODYIn areas where road salt is used in the winter, it isnecessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regu-larly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building upand causing the acceleration of corrosion on theunderbody and suspension.

Before the winter and again in the spring, the under-seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.

WHEELS

• Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle tomaintain their appearance.

• Clean the inner side of the wheels when thewheel is changed or the underside of the vehicleis washed.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing thewheels.

• Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corro-sion. This may cause loss of pressure or damagethe tyre bead.

• NISSAN recommends that the road wheels bewaxed to protect against road salt in areas whereit is used during winter.

ALUMINIUM ALLOY WHEELSWash the wheels regularly with a sponge damp-ened in a mild soap solution, especially during win-ter in areas where road salt is used. The salt residuefrom road salt could discolour the wheels if it is notwashed off regularly.

CAUTION

Follow the directions below to avoid staining ordiscolouring the wheels:

• Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid oralkali contents to clean the wheels.

• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheelswhen they are hot. The wheel temperatureshould be the same as ambient temperature.

• Rinse the wheel to completely remove thecleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner isapplied.

CHROME PARTSClean all chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasivechrome polish to maintain the finish.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the interiortrim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum cleaneror soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather sur-faces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soapsolution, then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.

Regular care and cleaning is required in order tomaintain the appearance of the leather.

Before using any fabric protector, read the manu-facturer’s recommendations. Some fabric protec-tors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach theseat material.

Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to cleanthe meter and gauge lens covers.

CAUTION

• Never use benzine, thinner or any similar ma-terial.

• Small dirt particles can be abrasive and dam-aging to leather surfaces and should be re-moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, carwaxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids,solvents, detergents or ammonia-basedcleaners as they damage the natural leatherfinish.

• Never use fabric protectors unless recom-mended by the manufacturer.

• Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meteror gauge lens covers. It may damage the lenscovers.

CLEANING INTERIOR

Appearance and care 7-3

FLOOR MATSThe use of Genuine NISSAN floor mats (where fit-ted) can extend the life of your vehicle carpet andmake it easier to clean the interior. Regardless ofwhat mats are used, be sure they are fitted for yourvehicle and are properly positioned in the foot wellto prevent interference with pedal operation. Matsshould be maintained with regular cleaning and re-placed if they become excessively worn.

Floor mat positioning aidThis vehicle includes front floor mat brackets jA toact as a floor mat positioning aid. NISSAN floormats have been specially designed for your vehiclemodel.

Position the mat by placing the floor mat brackethook through the floor mat grommet hole while cen-tering the mat in the foot area.

Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-tioned.

GLASSUse glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust filmfrom the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass tobecome coated with a film after the vehicle is parkedin the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth willeasily remove this film.

CAUTION

When cleaning the inside of the windows, do notuse sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlo-rine-based disinfectant cleaners. They coulddamage the electrical conductors, such as rearwindow defogger elements.

SEAT BELTS

WARNING

• Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in theretractor.

• Never use bleach, dye or chemical solvents toclean the seat belts, since these materialsmay severely weaken the seat belt webbing.

The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them witha sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.

Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade beforeusing them. (See “Seat belts” in the “1. Safety —seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system”section.)

MOST COMMON FACTORSCONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLECORROSION

• The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt anddebris in body panel sections, cavities, and otherareas.

• Damage to the paint surface and other protec-tive coatings caused by gravel and stone chipsor minor traffic accidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORSINFLUENCE THE RATE OFCORROSION

MoistureThe accumulation of sand, dirt and water on theinside floor of the vehicle can accelerate corrosion.Wet floor carpet/floor mats will not dry completelyinside the vehicle. They should be removed andcompletely dried to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidityCorrosion will be accelerated in areas of high rela-tive humidity.

TemperatureHigh temperatures accelerate the rate of corrosionto those parts which are not well ventilated.

Corrosion will also be accelerated in areas wherethe temperatures stay above freezing.

SAI0034Z

Example

CORROSION PROTECTION


Air pollutionIndustrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air incoastal areas, or heavy road salt use acceleratesthe corrosion process. Road salt also acceleratesthe disintegration of paint surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROMCORROSION

• Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep thevehicle clean.

• Always check for minor damage to the paint sur-face and if any exists, repair it as soon as pos-sible.

• Keep the drain holes in the lower edge of thedoors open to avoid water accumulation.

• Check the vehicle underbody for accumulationof sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with wateras soon as possible.

CAUTION

• Never remove dirt, sand or other debris fromthe passenger compartment by washing it outwith a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuumcleaner.

• Never allow water or other liquids to come incontact with electronic components inside thevehicle as this may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are ex-tremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion and

deterioration of underbody components such as theexhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables,floor pan and fenders.

In the winter, the underbody must be cleanedperiodically.

For additional protection against rust and corrosion,which may be required in some areas, consult aNISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

Your new vehicle has been designed to have mini-mum maintenance requirements with long serviceintervals to save you both time and money. How-ever, some day-to-day and regular maintenance isessential to maintain your vehicle’s fine mechanicalcondition, as well as its emission and engine perfor-mance.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that thespecified maintenance, as well as general mainte-nance, is performed.

As the vehicle owner, you are the only one who canensure that your vehicle receives the proper mainte-nance care. You are a vital link in the maintenancechain.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCEFor your convenience, the required scheduled main-tenance items are described and listed in a separatemaintenance booklet. You must refer to that bookletto ensure that necessary maintenance is performedon your vehicle at regular intervals.

GENERAL MAINTENANCEGeneral maintenance includes those items whichshould be checked during normal day-to-day opera-tion of the vehicle. They are essential if your vehicleis to continue to operate properly. It is your respon-sibility to perform these procedures regularly as pre-scribed.

Performing general maintenance checks requiresminimal mechanical skill and only a few general au-tomotive tools.

These checks and inspections can be done by your-self, a qualified technician, or if you prefer, aNISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICEIf maintenance service is required or your vehicleappears to malfunction, have the systems checkedand tuned by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-shop.

NISSAN technicians are well-trained specialists andare kept up-to-date with the latest service informa-tion through technical bulletins, service tips, and in-ternal dealership training programs. They are com-pletely qualified to work on NISSAN’s vehicles be-fore they work on your vehicle, rather than after theyhave worked on it.

You can be confident that a NISSAN dealer or quali-fied workshop’s service department performs thebest job to meet the maintenance requirements onyour vehicle — in a reliable and economic way.

During normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle,general maintenance should be performed regularlyas prescribed in this section. If you detect any un-usual sounds, vibrations or smells, be sure to checkfor the cause or have a NISSAN dealer or qualifiedworkshop do it promptly. In addition, you shouldnotify a NISSAN dealer if you think that repairs arerequired.

When performing any checks or maintenance work,closely observe “Maintenance precautions” later inthis section.

Check the level on the dipstick after parking thevehicle on a level surface and turning off the engine.

Fluid leaks:

Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or otherfluid leaks after the vehicle has been parked for awhile. Water dripping from the air conditioner afteruse is normal. If you should notice any leaks or if fuelfumes are evident, check for the cause and have itcorrected immediately.

Window washer fluid*:

Check that there is adequate fluid in the reservoir.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONSWhen performing any inspection or maintenancework on your vehicle, always take care to preventserious accidental injury to yourself or damage tothe vehicle. The following are general precautionswhich should be closely observed.

WARNING

• Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply theparking brake securely and block the wheelsto prevent the vehicle from moving. Move theshift lever to the N (Neutral) position.

• Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” orLOCK position when performing any parts re-placement or repairs.

• Do not work under the bonnet while the en-gine is hot. Always turn off the engine andwait until it cools down.

• If you must work with the engine running,keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools awayfrom moving fans, belts and any other movingparts.

• It is advisable to secure or remove any looseclothing and any jewellery, such as rings,watches, etc. before working on your vehicle.

• If you must run the engine in an enclosedspace such as a garage, be sure there isproper ventilation for exhaust gases to es-cape.

• Never get under the vehicle while it is sup-ported only by a jack. If it is necessary to workunder the vehicle, support it with safetystands.

• Keep smoking materials, flame and sparksaway from fuel and the battery.

• Never connect or disconnect either the bat-tery or any transistorised component connec-tor while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.

• On petrol engine models with the MultiportFuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter andfuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN

dealer or qualified workshop because the fuellines are under high pressure even when theengine is turned off.

• Your vehicle is equipped with an automaticengine cooling fan. It may come on at anytime without warning, even if the ignitionswitch is in the “OFF” position and the engineis not running. To avoid injury, always discon-nect the negative battery cable before work-ing near the fan.

• Always wear eye protection whenever youwork on your vehicle.

• Never leave the engine or transmission re-lated component harness connector discon-nected while the ignition switch is in the ONposition.


Avoid direct contact with used engine oil andcoolant. Improperly disposed engine oil, en-gine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids canhurt the environment. Always conform to lo-cal regulations for disposal of vehicle fluids.

This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sectionprovides instructions regarding only those itemswhich are relatively easy for an owner to perform.

You should be aware that incomplete or improperservicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-cessive emissions, and could affect your warrantycoverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have itdone by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.


For an overview of the engine compartment, see“Engine compartment” in the “0. Illustrated tableof contents” section.

WARNING

• Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-voir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burnscould be caused by high-pressure fluid es-caping from the radiator. Wait until the engineand radiator cool down.

• Engine coolant is poisonous and should bestored carefully in marked containers out ofthe reach of children.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factorywith a high-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolantsolution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust andcorrosion inhibitors, therefore additional cooling sys-tem additives are not necessary.

CAUTION

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to useonly Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equiva-lent in its quality with the proper mixture ratio.

Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalentin its quality. Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant is apre-mixed (mixture ratio 50%) type coolant.

The use of other types of coolant solutions maydamage the engine cooling system.

For HR16DE engine model: The radiator is equippedwith a pressure cap. To prevent engine damage,use only a Genuine NISSAN radiator cap or itsequivalent when replacement is required.

This scraping sound will first occur onlywhen the brake pedal is depressed. After more wearof the brake pad, the sound will always be heardeven if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have thebrakes checked as soon as possible if the wearwarning sound is heard.

Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-sional brake squeaks, squeals or other noises maybe heard. Occasional brake noise during light tomoderate stops is normal and does not affect thefunction or performance of the brake system.

BRAKES


Proper brake inspection intervals should befollowed. For additional information, see a separatemaintenance booklet.

BRAKE BOOSTERCheck the brake booster function as follows:

1. With the engine off, depress and release thefootbrake pedal several times. When the brakepedal movement (distance of travel) remains thesame from one pedal application to the next, con-tinue on to the next step.

2. While depressing the footbrake pedal, start theengine. The pedal height should drop a little.

3. With the footbrake pedal depressed, stop theengine. Keep the pedal depressed for about 30seconds. The pedal height should not change.

4. Run the engine for 1 minute without depressingthe footbrake pedal, then turn it off. Depress thefootbrake pedal several times. The pedal traveldistance will decrease gradually with each de-pression as the vacuum is released from thebooster.

If the brakes do not operate properly, have thebrakes checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualifiedworkshop.

If you have a flat tyre, see “Flat tyre” in the “6. Incase of emergency” section.

TYRE INFLATION PRESSUREPeriodically check the pressure of the tyres, includ-ing the spare. An incorrect tyre pressure may ad-versely affect tyre life and vehicle handling. The tyrepressure should be checked when tyres are COLD.Tyres are considered COLD after the vehicle hasbeen parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than1.6 km (1 mile). COLD tyre pressures are shown onthe tyre placard.

Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating ofthe tyre and subsequent internal damage. At highspeeds, this could result in tread separation andeven bursting of the tyre.

TYPES OF TYRESCAUTION

When changing or replacing tyres, be sure allfour tyres are of the same type (that is, summer,all season or snow) and construction. A NISSANdealer may be able to help you with informationabout tyre type, size, speed rating and availabil-ity.

Replacement tyres may have a lower speed ratingthan the factory equipped tyres, and they may notmatch the potential maximum vehicle speed. Neverexceed the maximum speed rating of the tyre.

All season tyresNISSAN specifies all season tyres on some modelsto provide good performance all year, includingsnowy and icy road conditions. All season tyres areidentified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tyresidewall. Snow tyres have better snow traction thanall season tyres and may be more appropriate insome areas.

Summer tyresNISSAN specifies summer tyres on some models toprovide superior performance on dry roads. Sum-mer tyre performance is substantially reduced insnow and ice. Summer tyres do not have the tyretraction rating M&S on the tyre sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icyconditions, NISSAN recommends the use of snowor all season tyres on all four wheels.

Snow tyresIf snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to selecttyres equivalent in size and load rating to the originalequipment tyres. If you do not, it can adversely af-fect the safety and handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tyres have lower speed ratings thanfactory equipped tyres and may not match the po-tential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed themaximum speed rating of the tyre. If you install snowtyres, they must be the same size, brand, construc-tion and tread pattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyresmay be used. However, some states and provinces

SDI1724Z

Luggage compartment light

TYRES AND WHEELS


prohibit their use. Check local, state and provinciallaws before installing studded tyres. Skid and trac-tion capabilities of studded snow tyres on wet or drysurfaces may be poorer than that of non-studdedsnow tyres.

TYRE CHAINSUse of tyre chains may be prohibited according tolocation. Check the local laws before installing tyrechains. When installing tyre chains, make sure thatthey are of proper size for the tyres on your vehicleand are installed according to the chain manufactur-er’s instructions.

Use chain tensioners when recommended by thetyre chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Looseend links of the tyre chains must be secured orremoved to prevent the possibility of whipping ac-tion damage to the fenders or underbody. If pos-sible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when usingtyre chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed.Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/orvehicle handling and performance may be adverselyaffected.

Tyre chains must be installed only on the frontwheels and not on the rear wheels. Do not use thechains on dry roads.

Do not drive with tyre chains on paved roads whichare clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-tions can cause damage to the various mechanismsof the vehicle due to some overstress.

TYRE ROTATION

NISSAN recommends that tyres be rotated every10,000 km (6,000 miles). However, the timing fortyre rotation may vary according to your driving hab-its and the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tyre”in the “6. In case of emergency” section for the tyrereplacement.)

WARNING

• After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pres-sure.

• Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehiclehas been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (alsoin cases of a flat tyre, etc.).

• Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care, or main-tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk ofaccident and injury. If in doubt, consult aNISSAN dealer or the tyre manufacturer.

TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE

j1 Wear indicator

j2 Wear indicator location mark

Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. Ifexcessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts arefound, the tyre should be replaced immediately.

The original tyres have a built-in tread wear indica-tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyreshould be replaced.

Improper service of a spare tyre may result in seri-ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair thespare tyre, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualifiedworkshop.

TYRE AGENever use a tyre over six years old, regardless ofwhether it has been used or not.

Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle

SDI1662Z SDI1663Z


usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced oftenby a repair shop or, if you prefer, a NISSAN dealer.

CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS

WARNING

Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if ithas been repaired. Such wheels or tyres couldhave structural damage and could fail withoutwarning.

When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speedrating and load carrying capacity as originallyequipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-nical information” section for recommended typesand sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyresother than those recommended or the mixed use oftyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adverselyaffect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumperheight. Some of these effects may lead to accidentsand could result in serious personal injury.

If the wheels are changed for any reason, alwaysreplace with wheels which have the same offsetdimension. Wheels of a different offset could causeearly tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handlingcharacteristics and/or interference with the brakediscs/drums. Such interference can lead todecreased braking efficiency and/or early brakepad/shoe wear.

WHEEL BALANCEUnbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling andtyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get outof balance. Therefore, they should be balanced asrequired.

SPARE TYRE

Conventional spare tyreA standard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)is supplied with your vehicle.

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Petrol engine (model with three-waycatalyst)CAUTION

Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol willdamage the three-way catalyst.

Use UNLEADED PREMIUM petrol of at least 95octane (RON).

If unleaded premium petrol is not used, UNLEADEDREGULAR petrol with an octane rating of at least 91(RON) may be used at slightly reducedperformance. However, for maximum vehicle per-formance and the best driveability, the use of un-leaded premium petrol is recommended.

Diesel engine*EN590 Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must beused.

NOTE

Use only low sulphur diesel.* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use sum-

mer or winter fuel properly according to the fol-lowing temperature conditions.

• Above −7°C (20°F) ... Summer type dieselfuel.

• Below −7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.

CAUTION

• Do not use home heating oil, petrol or otheralternate fuels in the diesel engine, this cancause engine damage.

• Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels todiesel fuel.

• Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-low −7°C (20°F). Cold temperatures will causewax to form in the fuel and may prevent theengine from running smoothly.

RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILSee “Recommended fuel/lubricants and capacities”in the “9. Technical information” section.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNNISSAN GREEN PROGRAM

Today, the efforts made by NISSAN to fulfil ourresponsibilities to protect and sustain the environ-ment are far-reaching. Within NISSAN, we promotethe highest levels of practice in every region and inevery area of operations.

COMPLIANCE AT EVERY STEPNISSAN focuses on ensuring that end of life vehiclecomponents are reused, recycled or recovered asthermal energy, and guarantees compliance with EUlegislation (the End of Life Vehicle Directive).

WE BUILD OUR VEHICLES WITHRECYCLING IN MINDReducing landfill waste, emissions, conserving natu-ral resources, and enhancing recycling activities areemphasised daily in our manufacturing, sales andservice operations and in the disposal of end of lifevehicles (ELV).

Design phaseTo reduce environmental impact we have developedyour NISSAN vehicle to be 95% recyclable. Wemark the components to facilitate dismantling, recy-cling and to reduce hazardous substances. Wecarefully verify and control substances of concern.We have already reduced to a minimum the cad-mium, mercury and lead in your NISSAN vehicle.NISSAN includes recycled material in your vehicleand looks for opportunities to increase the percent-age of recycled materials used.

Manufacturing phaseNISSAN plants based in the UK and Spain alreadyachieve a recycling rate of over 90% and are look-ing for further improvements. The UK plant installed8 windmills to cut carbon dioxide emissions at powerplants by more than 3,000 tonnes per year. Sincethe end of March 2007, NMISA (Spain) uses a solarpanel water heating system to save energy. This willgenerate 33% of the energy consumed in the bathsduring the painting of your vehicle.

Production and distribution phaseUsing resources efficiently to reduce the amount ofwaste generated during the production and distribu-tion stage. NISSAN promotes activities based onReducing, Reusing, and Recycling materials when-ever possible. The NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM2010 (NGP2010) is our midterm environmental ac-tion plan defining our goals for achieving a 100%recycling rate for operations in Japan and globally.

Use and service phaseNISSAN dealers are our window to you, our cus-tomer. In order to meet your expectations they pro-vide not only high quality services but are also envi-ronmentally responsible. NISSAN promotes activi-ties to recycle the waste generated as a result ofservice centre activities.

Disposal phaseRecycle your end of life vehicle or its components.When your NISSAN reaches the end of its life, andis no longer suitable for daily use, it still has value.

You can help prevent waste affecting the environ-ment by bringing your NISSAN to be recycled at ourcollection networks in your area. Our collection net-works guarantee no cost for the treatment of yourELV. For further information on how and where todispose of your ELV refer to your local NISSANdealer or consult: www.nissan.eu.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENTWHEN DRIVINGYour driving behaviour has significant impact on fueleconomy and the environment. Follow the tips be-low for better fuel-efficiency, better driving habits,and to be environmentally friendly by reducing emis-sions:

Defensive drivingAnticipating traffic conditions and acting accordinglyreduces fuel consumption, helping to protect of ournatural environment. Take your foot off the accelera-tor while approaching traffic lights and avoid lastminute braking when the light turns red.Avoid speeding, harsh acceleration, and strongbraking. The gain in time does not offset pollution ofthe environment. Try to maintain speed when drivinguphill to reduce fuel consumption and pollution.Maintain speed or allow the vehicle to go slowerwhere traffic allows.

Close windows when drivingDriving with a window open at 100 km/h (62 MPH)increases fuel consumption by up to 4%. Drivingwith the windows closed allows for better fueleconomy.

ENVIRONMENT (End of LifeVehicles)

Use the roof rack only when necessaryOnly install the roof luggage system when you reallyneed it, otherwise put it inside the vehicle or store itin your garage. Do not drive around with an emptyroof rack, kayak holder, or ski rack, this will reduceyour aerodynamic drag significantly.

Optimise the use of air conditioningThe air conditioning system has a positive effect ondriving and vehicle safety through comfort coolingand dehumidifying, drivers are more alert and havebetter visibility when window demisting/defoggingbecomes necessary. However, use of the air condi-tioning system will increase fuel consumption sub-stantially in an urban environment. Optimise the useof air conditioning by using the vents as much aspossible.

Use the parking brake on slopesUse the parking brake when holding your vehicle ona slope. Avoid using the clutch to hold your vehicleas this leads to unnecessary fuel consumption andwear.

Maintain a safe distanceAnticipate traffic conditions for a smoother drive andto assure comfort and safety during your trip. Driveand maintain a safe distance from other vehicleswhile in traffic. This will help reduce fuel consump-tion as you will not be constantly tapping yourbrakes.

Check your tyre pressureLow tyre pressure increases fuel consumption aswell as the use of non-recommended tyres. Correcttyre pressure will maximise the grip of your vehicleand optimise fuel consumption.

Have your car serviced regularlyRegular service allows you to run your vehicle inoptimal condition and with the best fuel efficiency.Have your vehicle serviced by your NISSAN dealeror a qualified workshop to ensure that it is main-tained to its original standard.
