Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you are wearing your seat belt and it is properly adjusted. • It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. • Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. • Each seat belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap. WARNING • • • Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. Serious injury can occur if seat belt is not worn properly. No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. • It is compulsory by law that every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should wear a seat belt at all times. Children should be in appropriate child restraints. • Do not allow more than one person at a time to use the same belt. • Your NISSAN Dealer should inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision. NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Infant or small child NISSAN recommends that infants or small children be seated in a child restraint. You should choose a child restraint system that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. Children Children who are too large for a child restraint should be seated and restrained by the seat belts, which are provided. NISSAN recommends that children sit in the rear seat if available. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If the child's seating position has a shoulder belt that fits close to the face or neck, the use of a booster seat (commercially available) may help overcome this. The booster seat should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face and neck, use the shoulder belt without the booster seat. Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is moving. Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-3 Chapter1.fm Page 4 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM Pregnant women NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn snug and positioned as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Injured persons NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations. SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE • • • To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush it, wipe with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry. If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth. Periodically check to see that the seat belt and the metal components such as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the webbing is found, the entire belt assembly should be replaced. 3-POINT TYPE WITH RETRACTOR The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion will permit the belt to move, and allow you some freedom of movement in the seat. Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should wear a seat belt at all times. Fastening the belts 1 Adjust the seat. WARNING The seat back should not be in a reclining position any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seat is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased. 2 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until it snaps. 1-4 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 3 Position the lap belt portion low on the hips as shown. 4 Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack. WARNING • The seat belt should rest on the middle of the shoulder. It must not rest against the neck. • Make sure that the seat belt is not twisted in any way. To release the belts To release the belt, press the button on the buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract. Chapter1.fm Page 5 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM Checking seat belt operation Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock belt movement by two separate methods: 1 When the belt is pulled quickly from the retractor. 2 When the vehicle slows down rapidly. To increase your confidence in the belts, check the operation as follows: • Grasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly forward. The retractor should lock and restrict further belt movement. If the retractor does not lock during these checks or if you have any question about belt operation see your NISSAN Dealer. 2-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTS Fastening the seat belts 1 Insert the tongue into the buckle snaps. until it 2 To lengthen, hold the tongue at a right angle to the belt and pull on the belt.

It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of an accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself. In general, child restraints are designed to be installed with the lap portion of a three-point type seat belt. NISSAN recommends that the child restraint system be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat. • Place your child in the child restraint system and check the various • When the child restraint system is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat belt system. • Remember that a child restraint system left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in a child restraint system. • After attaching a child restraint system, test it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it forward and check if it is held securely in place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in another seat and test it again. • If a child restraint system is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases. • Adjustable seat backs should be positioned to fit a child restraint system, but as upright as possible. • For a front-facing child restraint system, check to make sure the shoulder belt does not fit close to the child’s face or neck. If it does, put the shoulder belt behind the child restraint system. • If the seat belt in the position where a child restraint system is installed WARNING • Never install a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat. An inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could seriously injure or kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint system must only be used in the rear seat. • Do not install a child restraint in the center position of the front bench seat. This portion is not suitable for child restraint installation. • An improperly installed child restraint could lead to serious injury in an accident. Child restraint systems specially designed for infants and small children are available from several manufacturers. When selecting any child restraint systems, keep the following points in mind: adjustments to be sure that the child restraint system is compatible with your child. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. • Follow all of the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint system, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraint systems in your vehicle. Improper use of a child restraint system can increase the risk or severity of injury for both the child and other occupants in the vehicle.

Air bags inflate with great force. A rear-facing child restraint could be struck by the front air bag in a crash and could seriously injure or kill your child. If you install a forward-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat, place the passenger seat as far back as possible 1-10 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system Front facing Before using the locking clip, read the manufacturer’s instructions attached to the child restraint. Slide the seat to its rear most position. Secure the child restraint with the lap/shoulder belt as illustrated. To prevent slack in the lap belt, it will be necessary to secure the lap/ shoulder belt in place with a locking clip . A child restraint with a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat. Chapter1.fm Page 11 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM Rear facing Installation on front passenger seat (without front passenger air bag) Before using the locking clip, read the manufacturer’s instructions attached to the child restraint. Slide the seat to its rear most position. Secure the child restraint with the lap/shoulder belt as illustrated. To prevent slack in the lap belt, it will be necessary to secure the lap/ shoulder belt in place with a locking clip . Front facing Locking clip Use a locking clip attached to the child restraint or one which is equivalent in dimensions and strength. When your child restraint system is not in use, keep the locking clip in the glove box to prevent it from being lost. Slide the seat forward so that the seat belt fully tightens the child restraint. A child restraint with a top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat.

The Supplemental Restraint System Air Bag can help reduce impact force to the driver and to the front passenger in certain frontal collisions. The Air bags are designed to supplement the crash protection provided by the driver and passenger seat belts and are not a substitute for them. The seat belts should always be correctly worn and the driver and front passenger seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel and instrument panel. (See "SEAT BELTS'' later in this section for instructions and precautions on seat belt usage.) • The seat belts and the supplemental front air bags are most effective when you are sitting back and upright in the seat. Air bags inflate with great force. If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash and may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the supplemental front air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. After turning the ignition key to the “ON” position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is operational. WARNING • The air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, roll over, or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents. 1-12 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system Chapter1.fm Page 13 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-13 Chapter1.fm Page 14 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM WARNING 1-14 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system • Never let children ride unrestrained as shown in the illustrations. • Children may be severely injured or killed when the air bag inflates if they are not properly restrained. • Also, never install a rear facing child restraint in the front seat. For additional information, see "CHILD RESTRAINTS'' earlier in this section. Chapter1.fm Page 15 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM Supplemental front air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the face and chest of the front occupants. They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating air bag may cause facial abrasions or other injuries. Air bags do not provide restraint to the lower body. 1 Air bag warning lamp 2 Driver/Passenger air bag module 3 Diagnosis sensor unit Air bag system The driver air bag is located in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger supplemental air bag is mounted in the dashboard above the glove box. The air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. When the supplemental air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire, but care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of breathing trouble should get fresh air promptly. The seat belts should be correctly worn and the driver and passenger seated upright as far as practical away from the steering wheel or dash board. Since the air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the front occupants, the force of the air bag inflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against the air bag module during inflation. The air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is over. After turning the ignition key to the “ON” position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is operational. WARNING • Right after inflation, several air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself. • No unauthorised changes should be made to any components or wiring of the supplemental front air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the air bag or damage to the air bag system. • Tampering with these systems may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel and the front seats assembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the dashboard. • Do not attach any objects to the steering wheel pad and to the instrument panel. Objects attached to the steering wheel pad and to the instrument panel may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the air bag inflates. • An authorised NISSAN Dealer should do work around and on the supplemental front air bag systems. An authorised NISSAN Dealer should also do installation of electrical equipment. The SRS wiring harnesses* should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorised electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on these systems. * SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

Only authorised NISSAN Dealers should do repair and replacement of these systems. Chapter1.fm Page 19 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:41 PM To ensure long-term functioning, the system must be inspected 10 years after the date of manufacture and then every 2 years thereafter. PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT SYSTEM (if so equipped) When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, the air bag system and related parts should be pointed out to the person conducting the maintenance. The ignition key should always be in the "LOCK'' position when working under the hood (bonnet) or inside the vehicle. • The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused after activation. It must be replaced together with the retractor as an unit. • If the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of frontal collision but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure to have the pre-tensioner system checked and if necessary, replaced by your NISSAN dealer. • No unauthorized changes should be made to any components of wiring of the pre-tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental retraction or extension of the pre-tensioner seat belt or damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt operation. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat belt system may result in serious personal injury. WARNING WARNING • Once the air bag inflates, the air bag module will not function again and must be replaced. An authorised NISSAN Dealer should replace the air bag module.

Failure to follow these recommendations may result in vehicle damage or shortened engine life. • Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow. • Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear. • Avoid quick starts and full acceleration. • Avoid hard braking as much as possible. • Do not tow a trailer for the first 800 km (500 miles). BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE • Do not place hard or heavy objects on either the front or rear parcel shelf to prevent injury in the event of a sudden stop. • Check the operation of warning lights when key is turned to the "ON'' (3) position. • Tune the radio to the desired broadcasting station before driving. WARNING The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be changed remarkably by any additional load and its distribution, as well as by adding optional equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.). Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted accordingly. ESPECIALLY WHEN CARRYING HEAVY LOADS, YOUR SPEED MUST BE REDUCED ADEQUATELY. • Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear. • Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluid, window washer fluid as frequently as possible, at least whenever you refuel. • Check, to be sure that all windows and light lenses are clean. • Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and condition. Also check tyre pressure for proper inflation. • Lock all doors. • Position seats and adjust head restraints. • Adjust inside and outside mirrors. • Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise. Starting and driving 5-1 Chapter5.fm Page 2 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING • WARNING Do not leave children, impaired adults, or pets alone in your vehicle. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals. EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide) WARNING • • Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately. • Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage. • Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time. • It is not advisable to sit for any length of time in a parked vehicle with the engine running. 5-2 Starting and driving When a vehicle has been stopped in an open area with its engine running for any significant length of time, turn the ventilator on to force outside air into the vehicle. To help prevent damage CAUTION: • Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY. See “RECOMMENDED FUEL/LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES” in the “9. Technical information” section for fuel recommendation. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage three-way catalyst. • Do not use leaded gasoline. THREE-WAY CATALYST (if so equipped) The three-way catalyst is an emission control device, installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants. Deposits from leaded gasoline will seriously reduce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants. CAUTION: • The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are very hot. While the engine is running, keep people or flammable materials away from the exhaust pipe. • Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily. • When parking, ensure people or inflammable materials are kept away from the exhaust pipe. • Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in the ignition, carburetion/fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause overrich fuel flow into the three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN dealer. • Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst. • Do not race the engine while warming it up. • Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the engine. Chapter5.fm Page 3 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM FITMENT OF CANOPY TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM (if so equipped) ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrication and cooling of its rotating components. The turbocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds and its temperature can reach extremely high degrees. It is essential to maintain a clean supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger system. Therefore, a sudden interruption of oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbocharger. Vehicles have higher ground clearance and a wider track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher centre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle roll-over. Certain canopy designs may allow the ingress of exhaust gases to the interior, consequently NISSAN recommends the following: Regardless of the type of canopy to be fitted to your Nissan vehicle, please insist on the fitment of a SIDE EXIT extension to the Exhaust Tail Pipe. Side exit extensions are readily available from your local Exhaust fitment centre. For longevity and compatibility with your Nissan Exhaust system, we recommend Stainless Steel tubing for this application. To ensure prolonged life and performance of the turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the following maintenance procedure: CAUTION: • Change your engine oil according to the recommended intervals shown in a separate maintenance booklet. Use only the recommended engine oil. • If the engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutdown. • Do not accelerate your engine to high rpm immediately after start. Starting and driving 5-3 Chapter5.fm Page 4 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM CARE WHEN DRIVING UNDER ICY CONDITIONS TRAILER TOWING Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is essential for your safety and comfort. As a DRIVER, you should be the one who knows best how to drive in the given circumstances. • Drive sensitively. • Avoid sudden steering actions. Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily for carrying passengers and luggage. • Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in front. ENGINE COLD START PERIOD Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is cold, extra caution must be exercised when selecting gear positions during the engine warm-up period after starting the engine. LOADING THE LUGGAGE Loads and their distribution and the attachment of equipment (coupling devices, roof baggage carriers, etc.) will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle considerably. Driving style and speed must be changed according to the circumstances. DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS and YD25DDTI engine except for high altitude specification model: Avoid driving at an altitude higher than 3,000 m (9,843 ft). It may cause loss of emission control effect and driveability, or it may be hard to start the engine. Your driving style and speed must be changed according to the circumstances. Before towing a trailer, see a NISSAN dealer for an explanation about the proper use of towing equipment OPERATING PRECAUTIONS • Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in period. • Before driving, make sure that the lighting system of the trailer works properly. • Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer operation. • Avoid starting off, stopping suddenly. • Avoid sharp turns or lane changes. • Avoid sharp turns or lane changes. • • Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in front. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed. • Take note instructions. • Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch, safety chain, etc.) for your vehicle and trailer. These devices are of course available at your NISSAN Dealer where you • accelerating DRIVING AT THE UPLAND (Diesel engine models) Towing a trailer will place additional loads on your vehicle's engine, drivetrain, steering, braking and other systems. The towing of a trailer will exaggerate other conditions such as sway caused by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks. When water covers the road surface in puddles, small streams, etc., REDUCE SPEED to prevent aquaplaning which will cause skidding and loss of control. Worn tyres increase this risk. 5-4 Starting and driving of trailer manufacturer's Chapter5.fm Page 5 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM can obtain more detailed information on trailer towing. TOWING – LEGAL AND SAFETY ASPECTS • Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum set for the coupling device. • The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be exceeded. The following information may be seen as the basic set of rules with which to comply, firstly to satisfy safety and legal requirements, and secondly to ensure comfortable driving. Confirm Towing Regulations with your local authorities. • Have your vehicle serviced more often than at the intervals specified in a separate maintenance booklet. • Trailer towing requires more fuel than under normal circumstances because of a considerable increase in traction power and resistance. • Use the 4L (4WD models) when starting out or driving up a steep slope. • Always block the wheels on both vehicle and trailer when parking. Apply parking brake on trailer where fitted. • Take care that the tyre pressures are at the pressure for full loading shown on the tyre placard. • Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. • Parking on a recommended. steep slope is not BRAKES AND TOWED MASS If the towed gross vehicle mass is 750 kg (1,643 lb) or less and does not exceed half of the tare of the towing vehicle, the towed vehicle MUST be equipped with either a parking device or a parking brake. If the towed gross vehicle mass is 750 kg (1,643 lb) or less and exceeds half of the tare of the towing vehicle, the towed vehicle MUST be equipped with a parking brake, as well as either an overrun brake or service brake. If the towed gross vehicle mass is between 750 kg (1,643 lb) and 3 000 kg (6,614 lb) and does not exceed the tare of the towing vehicle, the towed vehicle MUST be equipped with a parking brake, as well as either an overrun brake or a service brake. If the towed gross vehicle mass exceeds the towing vehicle tare, or 3 500 kg (7,716 lb), it MUST be equipped with a parking brake AS WELL AS a service brake. CAUTION: The tare mass is supplied on the licence disk as well as the Registration Certificate of your vehicle. NISSAN recommends that the mass of the trailer or caravan (Towed gross vehicle mass) must NOT exceed the difference between the GCM (Gross Combined Mass) and GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass). See Section “9. Technical Information” for the Vehicle Identification plate position on which the GVM and GCM are displayed. Thus the towed gross vehicle mass must not exceed the following: Engine type: 2.0 Gasoline 2.4 Gasoline 2.5 Turbo Diesel 1 250 kg (2,756 lb) 1 400 kg (3,087 lb) 1 400 kg (3,087 lb) It is dangerous to overload a towbar and failure to adhere to this load limit will void the warranty on the towbar. All the models/variants are fitted with a rear bumper/towbar combination, but not with the tow-ball, drop-plate, fasteners, socket and wiring harness. These mentioned parts are available as an appropriate P&A item/kit available from NISSAN Parts and Accessories Division. This kit has been designed specifically to suit the original equipment towbar and also contains a data plate indicating the maximum loads for the towbar. It is strongly recommended that this P&A kit be used, instead of any other “aftermarket” tow-ball kits. NISSAN is not responsible for Starting and driving 5-5 Chapter5.fm Page 6 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM any damage to the vehicle or loss of property that may result from fitting any kit other than the approved P&A kit. NOSE MASS The nose mass, that is the total mass on the ball coupling, shall not be less than 25 kg (55 lb) and not more than 90 kg (199 lb). CAUTION: Have your NISSAN Hardbody headlight beam settings checked by an authorised NISSAN dealer with the loaded caravan or trailer coupled to your vehicle, as the settings may need adjustment to compensate for the added weights pressing down on the towing hitch of the vehicle. The correct nose mass is achieved by proper storage and/or loading of the caravan or trailer. MIRRORS TOWING HEIGHT Extended rear-view mirrors must be fitted to both sides (left and right) of the towing vehicle. The minimum towing height is 350 mm (14 in), and the maximum 420 mm (17 in) from the road surface to the centre of the towing ball. The towing vehicle must not sag, and the towed vehicle should be horizontal or slightly nose-down. LIGHTS Ensure that the tail lights, brake lights, reverse light (if fitted) and indicator lights on the towed vehicle work. SPEED LIMITS The maximum speed limits in force when towing a caravan or trailer, are those posted on the highways, main roads, roads or in urban areas. CAUTION: NISSAN recommends that a maximum towing speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) should not be exceeded under the most favourable conditions. Reduce speed at the first sign of adverse conditions ahead. LOADING THE CARAVAN OR TRAILER The payload or contents of the caravan or trailer should be stored as low and as close to the middle as possible, to ensure a low centre of gravity. This will result in greater stability when travelling. Light items should be loaded in the front and rear. All items must be secured properly to prevent sideways or fore/aft movement. WARNING Do not exceed the individual Gross Vehicle Mass or the Gross Combined Mass of your NISSAN Hardbody and caravan / trailer. TYRE PRESSURES Inflate the tyres of the caravan or trailer when cold to the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. Inflate the rear tyres of your NISSAN Hardbody to the maximum load pressures indicated in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. WARNING Uneven tyre pressures can cause the caravan or trailer to sway. 5-6 Starting and driving Chapter5.fm Page 7 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN TOWING SWAY PREVENTION AND CONTROL Pull-away should be gentle and smooth. Smooth, steady braking will yield the shortest stopping distances. Swaying should not occur when your NISSAN Hardbody and caravan or trailer is properly matched. WARNING Hard braking can cause jack-knifing or set up a whiplash effect. DO NOT push engine speed into the red zone of the tachometer. When going uphill, change down early, to ascend without strain. When going downhill, DO NOT accelerate, but let the engine run against compression. IGNITION SWITCH Should the combination tend to sway, however, an anti-sway device can be fitted. Sway can also be caused by excessive downhill speed, uneven braking, uneven tyre pressures, or a badly loaded or nose heavy caravan or trailer. Should the combination start to sway: • STAY CALM. • Hold the steering wheel firmly. • Steer a STRAIGHT line. Overtaking should ONLY be undertaken on level, straight stretches of road, or on gentle, long uphill gradients. • DO NOT brake hard. • DO NOT steer movement. NO passengers are allowed in the caravan or trailer whilst travelling. • DO NOT attempt acceleration to pull the combination straight. WARNING DO NOT overtake on a downhill – this is extremely dangerous. into the Type A sway Type B Starting and driving 5-7 Chapter5.fm Page 8 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM The switch includes an anti-theft steering lock device.

CAUTION: Starting the vehicle 1 Depress the clutch pedal to the floor and move the shift lever to the "1'' or "R'' position. 2 Slowly depress the accelerator pedal, releasing the clutch pedal and parking brake lever at the same time. • Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This may cause clutch damage. • Fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting to help prevent transmission damage. • Stop your vehicle completely before shifting into reverse. • When you are shifting from one gear to another, be certain to press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to avoid clashing or chipping the gears. • Avoid abrupt starts and acceleration for your safety. Shifting the gear To change gears, fully depress the clutch pedal, then move the gearshift lever. After shifting, release the clutch slowly and smoothly. To ensure smooth gear changes, fully depress the clutch pedal before operating the shift lever. If the clutch pedal is not fully depressed before the transmission is shifted, a gear noise When quick acceleration is required for some reason, shift to a lower gear and accelerate until the vehicle reaches the maximum speed in each gear. Do not exceed the speed limit of any gear. Pay special attention when accelerating or Starting and driving 5-9 Chapter5.fm Page 10 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM when shifting into a lower gear on slippery surfaces. Sudden acceleration or down shifting could cause the wheels to skid and result in loss of control. SUGGESTED SHIFT-UP SPEEDS The following provides suggested speed ranges for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions relate to fuel economy and vehicle performance. Actual shift ranges should be adjusted for specific road conditions, the weather and individual driving habits. 2-WHEEL/4-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS (2H and 4H POSITION) GEAR Km/h (MPH) 1st to 2nd 24 (15) 2nd to 3rd 40 (25) 3rd to 4th 64 (40) 4th to 5th 72 (45) 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS (4L POSITION) GEAR Km/h (MPH) 1st to 2nd 13 (8) 2nd to 3rd 20 (12) 5-10 Starting and driving 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS (4L POSITION) 3rd to 4th 32 (20) 4th to 5th 36 (22) The figures listed in the chart refer to potential speed ranges for each gear. The speed at which you drive, however, should conform to all federal, government, province and territory laws, and to the condition which will permit safe operation. SUGGESTED MAXIMUM SPEED IN EACH GEAR Downshift to a lower gear if the engine is not running 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. Always observe posted speed limits, and drive according to the road conditions which will ensure safe operation.

(Standing still) 4L – (4WD, low range) Four wheels are driven. Use when climbing or descending steep hills, or during hard driving in sand, mud or deep snow. The “4L” position provides maximum power and traction. Avoid raising vehicle speed excessively, as the maximum speed in 5th gear is approximately 50 km/h (30 MPH). N- 2H- (2WD, high range) Only the rear wheels are driven. Use when driving under the same conditions as standard 2WD vehicle. 4H- (4WD, high range) Four wheels are driven. Use when driving on roads where it is difficult to drive in the 2H position (i.e. driving at normal speeds on snow covered, icy, wet, muddy or sandy roads). The “4H” position provides maximum power and traction. Avoid excessive speed, as it will cause loss of traction. Speed over 80 km/h (50 MPH) in 4H is not recommended. • 1 – Shifting between 2H and 4H can be done whilst moving [Max speed = 40 km/h (25 MPH)] No wheels are driven. Always leave the transfer lever out of the “N” position, Shift the lever quickly and smoothly when moving across the “N” position with the vehicle stopped. If the lever is stopped during shifting, gears may grind. Note: You must push down (depress) on the shift (transfer) lever and shift quickly and smoothly (one continuous movement) back & forth between 4H, N & 4L. CAUTION: • Do not drive on dry hard surface roads in 4-wheel drive. Driving on dry hard surfaces in “4H” or “4L” may cause unnecessary noise and tyre wear as well as increased fuel consumption. NISSAN Starting and driving 5-11 Chapter5.fm Page 12 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM recommends driving in the “2H” position under these conditions. • To lubricate the front wheel drive system, drive the vehicle in 4-wheel drive at least once a month. WARNING • • • DIFF LOCK (If so equipped) To prevent the rear wheel from spinning in poor traction conditions (e.g. Mud, sand or grass) Only "Engage" or "Disengage" DIFF LOCK at low speed [Max. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] or when stopped. When parking the vehicle, apply the parking brake and shift the transfer control lever in the “2H”, “4H” or “4L” position, CAUTION: • One wheel is jacked up, Do not leave the transfer control lever in the “N” position. Otherwise, the vehicle could roll unexpectedly even if the transmission is in a gear. • On firm surfaces with good traction, • While rear wheel is spinning Failure to engage the transfer control lever in “2H”, “4H” or “4L” could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, which could cause serious personal injury or property damage. Do not move the transfer lever from “4H” or “4L” to “4L” or “4H”, from “2H” to “4L” and from “4L” to “2H” with the engine turned off. Otherwise, you may have difficulty in moving the transfer lever to the desired position. Do not leave the transfer lever in the N position with the engine running. Stopping with the transfer case in the N position may cause gear grinding when selecting another gear. Changing the transfer case gear quickly and smoothly will eliminate this. 5-12 Starting and driving Do not engage DIFF LOCK when: Also see DIFF LOCK warning label on inside of windscreen. AUTO-LOCK FREE-RUNNING HUBS (If so equipped) The auto-lock free-running hub is designed to allow for automatic 4-wheel drive engagement when the shift lever is moved to the "4H" or "4L" position. If your vehicle is equipped with this system, follow these operational cautions: CAUTION: • When engaging and disengaging, the auto-lock hubs will make a clicking noise. This is normal. • Accelerating the vehicle suddenly from a stop with the transfer lever in the "4H" or "4L" position may not engage the auto-lock free-running hub and may cause a clattering noise. Continued use of the vehicle with this noise may damage the hub lock. In such case, release the accelerator pedal to reduce the engine speed. Chapter5.fm Page 13 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM • If the auto-lock hubs make a clattering noise while driving in the "2H" position, stop and move the vehicle about 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) in the opposite direction of travel. • Under extremely cold conditions [below -15 C (5°F)], when the vehicle is driven in 2-wheel drive at high speeds without first warming up the vehicle and gear oil, the axle shafts may rotate, causing the hubs to make a clattering noise. To avoid this, first drive in 4-wheel drive, then shift to 2wheel drive. • When shifting from the "2H" to "4H" position while driving, do not stop shift lever movement midway. An incomplete shift from the "2H" to "4H" position or disengagement of only one hub lock may cause a clattering noise from the auto-lock hubs. Continued use of the vehicle with this noise may damage the hub lock. Shift to 4-wheel drive to stop the noise; unlock hubs as described. Also in cold weather, if difficulty is encountered in shifting from "2H" to "4H", it may be necessary to reduce speed or stop the vehicle. Starting and driving 5-13 Chapter5.fm Page 14 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM TO SHIFT TRANSFER: SHIFT PROCEDURE FOR AUTO-LOCK FREE-RUNNING HUBS From "2H" to "4H" Move the transfer case shift lever to “4H” at speeds below 40 km/h (25 MPH). It is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal or to move the selector lever to the N position. Perform this operation when driving straight. Move the transfer case shift lever to "2H". This can be done at any speed up to 80 km/h (50 MPH) and it is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal or move the selector lever to the N position. Perform this operation when driving straight. NOTE: • From "4H" to "2H" From "4H" or "4L" to "4L" or "4H" From "2H" to "4L" For 2-wheel drive operation, set the free-running hubs in the disengaged position. AUTOLOCK hubs will not disengage until the vehicle is moved about 1 m (3 feet) in the opposite direction of travel: - When driving forward, stop and move 1 m (3 feet) in reverse. - When backing up, stop and move 1 m (3 feet) forward, then move the vehicle about 1 m (3 feet) in reverse. • If the 4-wheel drive indicator light remains on when shifting from 4H, the 2-wheel drive is not selected. Ensure safety and either accelerate, decelerate or back up the vehicle to change to 2-wheel drive. 1 Stop the vehicle.

However, avoid driving in deep water or mud as your NISSAN is mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle. Remember that two-wheel drive models are less capable than four-wheel drive models for rough road driving and extrication when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like. • Please observe the following precautions: • • • Heavy braking going down a hill could cause the brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes lightly and use a low gear to control your speed. • Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas. Always wear your seat belts to help keep you and your passengers in position when driving over rough terrain. Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough terrain. Properly secure it so that it will not be thrown forward and cause injury to you or your passengers. • Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead, drive either straight up or straight down the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over sideways much more easily than they can forward or backward. Avoid raising the centre of gravity by loading things on the roof or equipping the vehicle with tyres larger than specified in this manual. This could cause your vehicle to roll over. Put heavy loads in the cargo area as far forward and as low as possible, • Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road. The steering wheel could jerk and injure your hands. Instead drive with your fingers and thumbs on the outside of the rim. • Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the driver and all passengers have their seat belts fastened. • Always drive with the floor mats in place as the floor may become very hot. Particular care should be taken if you are barefoot. CAUTION: • If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to the top of a steep hill, never attempt to turn around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over. Always back straight down in reverse gear. Never back down in neutral (N) or with the clutch depressed, using only the brake, as this could cause loss of control. Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you drive up them, the engine may stall. If you drive down them, you may not be able to control your speed. If you drive across them, the vehicle may roll over. Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the top there could be a dropoff or other hazard that could cause an accident. • Lower your speed when encountering strong crosswinds. With its higher centre of gravity, your Nissan is more affected by gusty side winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control. • Do not drive beyond the performance of the tyres even with 4WD. Sudden acceleration, sharp steering manoeuvres or sudden braking may cause loss of control. • Be sure to check the brakes immediately after driving in mud or water as specified in "WET BRAKES” later in this section. • Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more frequent maintenance may be required. For details, refer to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions” in a separate maintenance booklet. • Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward, backward or sideways, you could be injured. Starting and driving 5-17 Chapter5.fm Page 18 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM TYRES OF 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES CAUTION: Always use tyres of the same size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial) and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tyres on the front and rear axles which will cause excessive tyre wear and may damage the transmission, transfer case and differential gears. If excessive tyre wear is found, it is recommended that all four tyres be replaced with tyres of the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tyre pressure and wheel alignment should also be checked and corrected as necessary. Contact your NISSAN Dealer. Tyre inflation pressure Check the pressure in all tyres, including the spare, with a gauge periodically when at a service station. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard affixed. For tyre placard location information, refer to “TYRE PLACARD” in the “9. Technical information” section. POWER STEERING SYSTEM BRAKE SYSTEM The power assisted steering is designed to use a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering. PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING Vacuum assisted brakes If the engine stops or dive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns or at low speeds. The brake booster aids braking by using engine vacuum. If the engine stops or the drive belt is broken, you can stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However, greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be required to stop the vehicle and the stopping distance will be longer. WARNING Do not coast with the engine stopped. Wet brakes When the vehicle is washed or driven through water, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your braking distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull to one side during braking. To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the brakes. Do this until the brakes return to normal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until the brakes function correctly. CAUTION: • Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the brake linings and pads faster and increase fuel consumption. • To help save the brakes and to prevent the brakes from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a Tyre rotation NISSAN recommends that tyres be rotated periodically. Do not include the temporary spare tyre in the tyre rotation. 5-18 Starting and driving Chapter5.fm Page 19 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM lower gear before going down a slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control. • While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt braking actions or sudden acceleration could cause the wheels to skid. Driving uphill When starting on a steep grade, it is sometimes difficult to operate both the brake and clutch. Use the parking brake to hold the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch. When ready to start, slowly release the parking brake while depressing the accelerator pedal and releasing the clutch. Driving downhill The engine braking action is effective for controlling the vehicle while descending hills. The gearshift lever should be placed in the lower speed position prior to descending. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (if so equipped) The anti-lock brake system controls the brakes at each wheel so the wheels will not lock when braking abruptly or when braking on slippery surfaces. The system detects the rotation speed at each wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel from locking and sliding. By preventing wheel lockup, the system helps the driver maintain steering control and helps to minimize swerving and spinning on slippery surfaces. If a tyre slips on rough roads for more than approximately 40 seconds, the ABS warning light may come on. Turn OFF the ignition key, restart the engine and drive the vehicle at speeds above 30 km/h (20 MPH). If the warning light does not go out, have the vehicle checked at a NISSAN dealer. Self-test function The anti-lock brake system consists of electronic sensors, electric pumps, and hydraulic solenoids controlled by a computer. The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the 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. This is normal and is not an indication of any malfunction. If the computer senses any malfunction, it switches the anti-lock brake system OFF and turns on the "ABS'' warning light in the dashboard. The brake system will then behave normally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the light comes on during the self check, or while you are driving, you should take your vehicle to your NISSAN Dealer for repair at your earliest convenience. Normal operation The anti-lock brake system will not operate at speeds below 5 to 10 km/h (3 to 6 MPH) to completely stop the vehicle. (The speeds will vary according to road conditions.) When the anti-lock system senses that one or more wheels are close to locking up, the actuator (under the hood) rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pressure (like pumping the brakes very quickly). While the actuator is working, you may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from the actuator under the hood. This is normal and indicates that the anti-lock system is working properly. However, the pulsation may indicate that road conditions are hazardous and extra care is required while driving. WARNING The anti-lock brake system is a sophisticated device, but cannot prevent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces, but remember that the stopping distance on slippery surfaces and gravel roads will be longer than on normal surfaces, even with the anti-lock system. Ultimately, the responsibility for safety of self and others rests in the hands of the driver. Tyre type and condition may also affect braking effectiveness. Starting and driving 5-19 Chapter5.fm Page 20 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM • • When replacing tyres, install the specified size of tyres on all the 4 wheels. PARKING When installing a spare tyre, make sure it is the proper size and type as specified on the tyre placard. For tyre placard location information, refer to “TYRE PLACARD” in the “9. Technical information” section. • Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily. • Never leave the engine running while the vehicle is unattended. • Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. WARNING Safe parking procedures require that the parking brake be set and the gear shift lever placed in the proper position. 1 Firmly apply the parking brake. 2 Place the transmission shift lever in the "REVERSE'' position when parking on a down hill grade. 3 When parking on an uphill grade, place the shift lever in the "1st'' (Low gear) position. 4 Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK'' position and remove the key. WARNING 5-20 Starting and driving • The transfer control lever must be in the "2H", "4H" or "4L" position to prevent the vehicle from moving. . • Never place it in the "N" neutral position. Chapter5.fm Page 21 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM When parked on a sloping driveway, turn the wheels so the vehicle will not roll into the street in case it moves. HEADED DOWNHILL: Turn the wheels into the curb , allow the vehicle to move forward until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb. Then set the parking brake. HEADED UPHILL: Right-hand drive models Turn the wheels away from the curb and allow the vehicle to move back until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb. Then set the parking brake. HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO CURB: Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the vehicle will move away from the centre of the road if it moves. Then set the parking brake. Left-hand drive models Starting and driving 5-21 Chapter5.fm Page 22 Tuesday, September 23, 2014 11:44 AM VEHICLE SECURITY COLD WEATHER DRIVING When leaving your vehicle unoccupied: Anti-freeze • Always remove the ignition key - even in your own garage. • Close all windows completely and lock all doors. • Always park your vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well lit area. • If you have an alarm or immobilization device, use it - even for short periods. • Do not leave children and pets in the vehicle unattended. • Do not leave valuables on view to tempt a thief. Always take your valuables with you. If you must leave something in your vehicle, hide it out of sight. • Do not leave the vehicle documents in your vehicle. In the unfortunate event of your vehicle being stolen the documents will only help a thief to sell the vehicle. • Do not leave articles on a roof rack as they are particularly vulnerable. If possible, remove them from the rack and lock them inside the vehicle. • Do not leave the spare key in the vehicle keep it in a safe place in your home. • Do not leave a note of your vehicle key number in the vehicle. A thief may break into the vehicle, note the key number and return with a key to enter and drive the vehicle. 5-22 Starting and driving In the winter when it is anticipated that the temperature will drop below 0 C (32 F), check anti-freeze to ensure proper winter protection. For details, see “ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.

When it is necessary to park outside, park in a shady area or protect the vehicle with a body cover. Be careful not to scratch the paint surface when putting on or removing the body cover. WASHING Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a mild soap or detergent (a special vehicle soap or general purpose dishwashing liquid) mixed with clean, lukewarm (never hot) water. • • Do not use strong household soap, strong chemical detergents, gasoline or solvents. Do not wash your vehicle in the direct sunlight or while the vehicle body is hot, as the surface may become water-spotted. Avoid using tigh-napped or rough cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must be taken when removing cakedon dirt or other foreign substances so that the paint surface is not scratched or damaged. Your NISSAN Dealer can assist you in choosing the proper product. • Wax your vehicle only after a thorough washing. Follow the instructions supplied with the wax. • Do not use a wax containing any abrasives, cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish. • If the surface does not polish easily, use a "road tar'' remover and wax again. Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Only use black wax or black shoe polish on black urethane or polypropylene bumpers. A damp chamois can be used to dry the vehicle to avoid water spots. GLASS REMOVING SPOTS Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from the surface of the paint to avoid lasting damage or staining. Special cleaning products are available at your NISSAN Dealer or any automotive accessory store. WAXING Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps retain new vehicle appearance. After waxing, polishing is recommended to remove built-up residue and to avoid a "weathered'' appearance. Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will easily remove this film. CHROME PARTS Clean all chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish. PLASTIC PARTS Plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild soap solution. If the dirt cannot be easily removed, use a plastic cleaner. Do not use any solvents. Appearance and care 7-1 Chapter7.fm Page 2 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:50 PM CLEANING INTERIOR SEAT BELTS Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior trim and seats using a vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft cloth. Before using any fabric protector, read the manufacturer's recommendations. Some fabric protectors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the seat material. The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution. Allow the belts to dry completely before using them. Do not allow wet belts to roll up in the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or chemical solvents since these may severely weaken the seat belt webbing. • Never use benzine, thinners, or any similar fluids. • The leather seats should be regularly coated with a leather wax like saddle soap. Never use car wax. • Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer. The use of Genuine NISSAN floor mats can extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean the interior. No matter what mats are used, be sure they are fitted for your vehicle and are properly positioned in the footwell to prevent interference with pedal operation. Mats should be maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if they become excessively worn. GLASS Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will easily remove this film. When cleaning the inside of the window, do not use sharpedged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine based disinfectant cleaners. They could damage electrical conductors or rear window defogger elements. 7-2 Appearance and care FLOOR MATS CORROSION PROTECTION MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION 1 The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and debris in body panel sections, cavities, and other areas. 2 Damage to paint and other protective coatings caused by gravel and stone chips or minor traffic accidents. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCE THE RATE OF CORROSION Moisture Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the vehicle body underside can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely inside the vehicle, and should be removed for drying to avoid floor panel corrosion. Relative humidity Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high relative humidity, especially those areas where the temperatures stay above freezing and where atmospheric pollution exists. Chapter7.fm Page 3 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:50 PM Temperature A temperature increase will accelerate the rate of corrosion to those parts which are not well ventilated. For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, consult your local NISSAN Dealer. Air pollution Industrial pollution and the presence of salt in the air in coastal areas will accelerate the corrosion process. TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM CORROSION • Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the vehicle clean. • Always check for minor damage to the paint and repair it as soon as possible. • Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors and tailgate open to avoid water accumulation. • Check the underbody for accumulation of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water as soon as possible. • NEVER remove dirt, sand or other debris from the passenger compartment by washing it out with a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner or broom. • Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electronic components inside the vehicle. In winter, the underbody cleaned periodically. must be Appearance and care 7-3 Chapter7.fm Page 4 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:50 PM 7-4 Appearance and care Chapter8TOC.fm Page 0 Thursday, April 11,

maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save you both time and money. However, some day-to-day and regular maintenance is essential to maintain your NISSAN's good mechanical condition, as well as its emission and engine performance. It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that scheduled maintenance, as well as general maintenance, is performed. As a vehicle owner, you are the only one who can ensure that your vehicle receives the proper maintenance care. You are a vital link in the maintenance chain. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE For your convenience, the required schedule maintenance items are described and listed in a separate maintenance booklet. You must refer to that booklet to ensure that necessary maintenance is performed on your NISSAN at regular intervals. GENERAL MAINTENANCE General maintenance includes those items that should be checked during normal day-today operation of the vehicle. They are essential if your vehicle is to continue to operate properly. It is your responsibility to perform these procedures regularly as prescribed. Performing general maintenance checks require minimal mechanical skill and only a few general automotive tools. These checks or inspections can be done by yourself, a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your NISSAN Dealer. WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE If maintenance service is required or your vehicle appears to malfunction, have the systems checked and tuned by an authorised NISSAN Dealer. NISSAN technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and training programs. They are completely qualified to work on NISSAN vehicles before they work on your vehicle, rather than after they have worked on it. You can be confident that your NISSAN Dealer's service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance requirement on your vehicle - in a reliable and economic way. GENERAL MAINTENANCE During the normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle, general maintenance should be performed regularly as prescribed in this section. If you detect any unusual sounds, vibration or smell, be sure to check for the cause or have your NISSAN Dealer do it promptly. In addition, you should notify your NISSAN Dealer if you think that repairs are required. When performing any checks or maintenance work, closely observe "MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS" later in this section. EXPLANATION OF GENERAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS Additional information on the following items with "*" is found later in this section. Outside the vehicle The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified. Doors and engine hood: Check that all doors and the engine hood operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges and latches if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released. Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-1 Chapter8.fm Page 2 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM Lights*: Steering wheel: MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights and other lights are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim. Check for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises. When performing any inspection or maintenance work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle. The following are general precautions which should be closely observed. Tyres*: Check the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station (including the spare) and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. Tyre rotation*: Tyres should be rotated frequently. The timing for tyre rotation may vary according to your driving habits and road surface conditions. Windshield wiper blades*: The life of windscreen wiper blades is dependent on the amount of use and climatic conditions. For safety reasons these items should be replaced when wear impairs their function to clear the windscreen effectively. Inside the vehicle The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc. Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat belts system, (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. 8-2 Maintenance and do-it-yourself Warning/indicator lights and buzzers/ chimes: Make sure that all warning/indicator lights and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. • Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake securely and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. For a manual transmission, move the shift lever to neutral. • Do not work under the hood while the engine is hot. Turn off the engine and wait until it cools down. • Be sure to turn the ignition key to the "OFF'' or "LOCK'' position. • When the ignition key is in the "ON'' or "ACC'' position, the cooling fan may start to operate suddenly even when the engine is not running. • If you must work with the engine running, keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away from moving fans, belts and any other moving parts. • It is advisable to remove ties and any jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc. before working on your vehicle. • If you must run the engine in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation for exhaust gases. Under the hood and vehicle The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel. Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the MAX and MIN lines. Brake and clutch fluid level*: Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir. Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the engine. Windshield washer fluid*: Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. Chapter8.fm Page 3 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM • Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by a jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands. You should be aware that incomplete or improper servicing may result in operating difficulties or excessive emissions and could affect your warranty coverage. • Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks away from fuel and battery. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your NISSAN Dealer. • Never connect or disconnect either the battery or any transistorized component connector while the ignition is on. • Always apply the parking brake and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. • On gasoline engine models with the multiport fuel injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter or fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN dealer because the fuel lines are under high pressure even when the engine is off. • Failure to follow these or other common sense guidelines may lead to serious injury or vehicle damage. • Improperly disposed motor oil and/or other vehicle fluids can hurt the environment. Always conform to local regulations for disposal of vehicle fluid. • Avoid direct contact with used engine oil. This "8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself'' section gives instructions regarding only those items which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.

Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down. See precautions in "IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS'' found in the "6. In case of emergency'' section. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be stored carefully in marked containers out of the reach of children. The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion and the antifreeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system additives are not necessary. CAUTION: When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with the proper mixture ratio. Examples are shown below: Outside temperature down to Composition ºC (°F) Engine coolant (concentrated) Demineralized water or distilled Water -15 (5) 30% 70% -35 (-30) 50% 50% The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your cooling system. The radiator is equipped with a pressure cap. Use a NISSAN genuine cap when replacement is required. CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Coolant reservoir Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank when the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below "MIN'', add coolant up to the "MAX'' level. If the reservoir tank is empty, check the coolant level in the radiator when the engine is cold. If there is insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator with coolant up to the filler opening and also add it to the reservoir tank up to the "MAX'' level. CAUTION: If the cooling system frequently requires coolant, have it checked by your NISSAN Dealer. Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-7 Chapter8.fm Page 8 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM Watch the coolant temperature gauge for signs of overheating. 5 Stop the engine. After it completely cools down, refill the radiator up to the filler opening. Fill the reservoir tank up to the "MAX'' level. 6 Check the drain plug leakage. for any sign of 7 Recheck the coolant level after the vehicle has been driving for a day. CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT Your NISSAN Dealer should perform major cooling system repairs. The service procedures can be found in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Improper servicing can result in reduced heater performance and engine overheating. WARNING • To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the coolant when the engine is hot. • Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. 8-8 Maintenance and do-it-yourself 1 Open the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator and the radiator cap . • Be careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts. • Waste coolant must be disposed of properly. Check your local regulations. 2 Close the radiator drain plug securely. 3 See the "Technical information'' section for cooling system capacity. Fill the radiator slowly with the proper mixture of coolant and water. Fill the reservoir tank up to the "MAX'' level. Then install the radiator cap . 4 Start the engine, and warm it up until it reaches normal operating temperature. Then race the engine 2 or 3 times under no load. Chapter8.fm Page 9 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM ENGINE OIL CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL 1 Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply parking brake. 2 Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature. 3 Turn off the engine. Wait at least 10 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. 4 Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way. 5 Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be between the "H'' and "L'' marks. If the oil level is below the "L'' mark, remove the oil filler cap and pour recommended oil through the opening. Do not overfill. YD25DDTi engine 6 Recheck oil level with dipstick. CAUTION: • Oil level should be checked regularly. Operating with insufficient amount of oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty. • It is normal to add some oil between oil maintenance intervals or during the run-in period, depending on the severity of operating conditions. KA20/KA24 engine Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-9 Chapter8.fm Page 10 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM FACTS ABOUT OIL AND OIL CONSUMPTION Diesel combustion engines depend upon oil to lubricate cylinder walls, pistons and rings. With each stroke of the piston, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder walls and on the firing stroke the combustion flame burns it. If an engine burned just one drop of oil on every firing stroke, it would need approximately 400 ml per kilometre/mile. Consumption of this amount is unheard of in the internal combustion engine, but all efficient engines do, however, use some oil to prevent rapid engine wear. The rate of consumption depends upon the quality and viscosity of the oil, engine rpm, the temperature and the amount of dilution and oxidation in the crankcase. If the engine oil is checked it may indicate full on the dipstick, but this could be misleading due to the vehicle being operated for 2,000 km (1,243 miles) or more in city or congested road conditions, which causes a build up of condensation and unburned fuel in the combustion chamber, which passes into the crankcase, and thus gives a false dipstick reading. If the vehicle should then be driven at high engine rpm for a fairly long journey the unburned fuel will boil off rapidly and the vehicle then appears to consume oil. High speed operating conditions will greatly accelerate oil consumption due to the inability 8-10 Maintenance and do-it-yourself of the piston rings to scavenge the oil completely at higher rpm and high engine temperature. Automobile manufacturers have proved in tests that an internal combustion engine uses seven times the quantity of oil at 100 km/h (62 MPH) than it does at 60 km/h 37 MPH). No standard rate of consumption can be established because of the varying combinations and conditions and as a guide we consider the following as normal oil consumption on gasoline engines. Oil consumption of up to 1,5 litres per 1,000 km (621 miles) during the first 10,000 km (6,214 miles) of vehicle life is considered normal, as it takes approximately 10 000 km (6,214 miles) for the piston rings to bed in to the cylinder walls, and the normal consumption should then drop to approximately 1 litre per 1 000 km (621 miles). CHANGING ENGINE OIL WARNING Used oil must not be poured into the ground, canals, rivers, etc. It should be disposed of at a rubbish tip having proper facilities. We recommend having your oil changed by a NISSAN Dealer. 1 Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 2 Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and then turn it off. Wait for more than 10 minutes. 3 Place a large drain pan under the drain plug. 4 Remove the oil filler cap . 5 Remove the drain plug with a wrench and completely drain the oil. If oil filter is to be changed, remove and replace it at this time. See "CHANGING OIL FILTER'' in the “8. Maintenance and do-ityourself” section. WARNING Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot. CAUTION: Waste oil must be disposed of properly. Check your local regulations. 6 Clean and re-install the drain plug with a new washer. Securely tighten the drain plug with a wrench. Do not use excessive force. Chapter8.fm Page 11 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM YD25DDTi engine KA20/KA24 (2WD) engine Drain plug tightening torque: KA24 (4WD) engine WARNING Gasoline engines and YD25DDTi engine 29 to 39 Nm (3.0 to 4.0 kg-m, 22 to 29 ft-lb) • Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. 7 Refill engine with recommended oil and install the cap securely.

In case of emergency'' section. TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE Periodically check the tyre pressure (including spare). Tyre pressure should be checked when tyres are COLD. Tyres are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for three or more hours, or driven less than 1,6 km. COLD tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard. CAUTION: Incorrect tyre pressure may adversely affect tyre life and vehicle handling. Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of the tyre and subsequent internal damage. At high speeds, this could result in tread separation and even bursting of the tyre. CAUTION: When changing or replacing tyres, be sure all four tyres are of the same type and construction. Your NISSAN Dealer may be able to help you with information about tyre type, size, speed rating and availability. Replacement tyres may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tyres, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tyre. 8-30 Maintenance and do-it-yourself TYRE ROTATION TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE NISSAN recommends that tyres be rotated: Except South Africa: 2WD - every 10 000 km. 4WD - every 5 000 km. For South Africa: 2WD - every 15 000 km. 4WD - every 7 500 km. See "Flat tyre'' in the "In case of emergency'' section for tyre replacing procedures. • After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pressure. Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear, cracking, bulging, or objects caught in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging, or deep cuts are found, the tyre should be replaced. • Retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1 000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tyre, etc.). WARNING Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or maintenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of accident and injury. If in doubt, consult your NISSAN Dealer or the tyre manufacturer. The original tyres have a built-in tread wear indicator . When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre should be replaced. The wear indictor locator locations are shown by the location marks . TYRE AGE Remember tyre age. Never use a tyre over six years old, regardless of whether it has been used or not. Chapter8.fm Page 31 Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:51 PM Tyres degrade with age as well as the use they are subjected to. Have your tyres checked and balanced frequently by a recognized tyre agent. Report all accidents where the tyre is knocked however minor. CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. Recommended types and sizes are shown in "TYRES AND WHEELS'' in the "9. Technical Information'' section. The use of tyres other than those recommended or the mixed use of tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance, body-totyre clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury. If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels that have the same offset dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake discs/ drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear. 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODEL CAUTION: Always use tyres of the same size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tyres on the front and rear axles that will cause excessive tyre wear and may damage the transmission, transfer case and differential gears. ONLY use spare tyres specified for each 4-wheel drive model. WHEEL BALANCE Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as required. CARE OF WHEELS • Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to maintain their appearance. • Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle is washed. • Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels. • Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. This may cause loss of pressure or damage the tyre bead. WARNING Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could have structural damage and could fail without warning. CLUTCH HOUSING Checking water entry Whenever you drive in deep water or mud, check water entry in the clutch housing by removing the blind plug at the bottom of the transmission case. After checking, be sure to reinstall the plug.
