Seatbelts are designed to bear upon thebony structure of the body, and should beworn low across the front of the pelvis or thepelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable;wearing the lap section of the belt acrossthe abdominal area must be avoided. Ser-ious injury may occur if a seat belt is notworn properly.

. Position the lap belt as low and snug aspossible around the hips, not the waist. Alap belt worn too high could increase therisk of internal injuries in an accident.

. Do not allow more than one person to usethe same seat belt. Each belt assembly mustonly be used by one occupant; it is danger-ous to put a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant’s lap.

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

. Never wear seat belts inside out. Beltsshould not be worn with straps twisted.Doing so may reduce their effectiveness.

. Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly aspossible, consistent with comfort, to providethe protection for which they have beendesigned. A slack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.

. Every person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at all times.Children should be properly restrained in therear seat and, if appropriate, in a childrestraint system.

. No modifications or additions should bemade by the user which will either preventthe seat belt adjusting devices from operat-ing to remove slack, or prevent the seat beltassembly from being adjusted to removeslack.

. Care should be taken to avoid contamina-tion of the webbing with polishes, oils andchemicals, and particularly battery acid.Cleaning may safely be carried out usingmild soap and water. The belt should bereplaced if webbing becomes frayed, con-taminated or damaged.

. All seat belt assemblies including retractorsand attaching hardware should be inspectedafter any collision by a NISSAN dealer.NISSAN recommends that all seat beltassemblies in use during a collision bereplaced unless the collision was minorand the belts show no damage and continueto operate properly. Seat belt assembliesnot in use during a collision should also beinspected and, when necessary, replaced ifeither damage or improper operation isnoted.

. It is essential to replace the entire assemblyafter it has been worn in a severe impacteven if damage to the assembly is notobvious.

. Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has acti-vated, it cannot be reused. It must bereplaced together with the retractor. Contacta NISSAN dealer.

. Removal and installation of the pre-ten-sioner seat belt system components shouldbe done by a NISSAN dealer.

GUID-68523C03-E950-4D3E-AFB3-00C138F24AF8

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sectioncontains important information concerning the driver’sand passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bagsand pre-tensioner seat belts.

Supplemental front-impact air bag systemGUID-8D8844FE-1690-4A3E-B7C0-022EF7A41EBB

This system can help cushion the impact force to thehead and chest area of the driver and/or frontpassenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on thefront where 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 for them.The SRS can help save lives and reduce seriousinjuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abra-sions or other injuries. Air bags do not provideprotection to the lower body. Seat belts should alwaysbe correctly worn and the occupants should always beseated a suitable distance away from the steeringwheel and instrument panel. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-11).) The air bags inflate quickly in order to helpprotect the occupants. The force of the air bagsinflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupantsare too close to, or are against, the air bag modulesduring inflation.

The air bags 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. Thisindicates that the SRS is operational. (See“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag

warning light” (P.2-11).)

SSS0131A

SSS0132A

WARNING:

. The supplemental front-impact air bagsordinarily will not inflate in the event of aside impact, rear impact, rollover, or lowerseverity frontal collision. Always wear theseat belts to help reduce the risk or severityof injury in accidents.

. The seat belts and the supplemental front-impact air bags are most effective when youare sitting well back and upright in the seat.The front-impact air bags inflate with great

force. If you and your passengers are unrest-rained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, orout of position in any way, you and yourpassengers are at greater risk of injury ordeath in an accident. You and your passen-gers may also receive serious or fatalinjuries from the supplemental front-impactair bag if you are up against it when itinflates. Always sit back against the seat-back and as far away as practical from thesteering wheel or instrument panel. Alwaysuse the seat belts.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, theSRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the SRSair bag systems are operational.

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

. 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 illuminateat all.

Under these conditions, the air bag and/or pre-tensioner seat belt systems may not operate properly.They must be checked and repaired. Contact aNISSAN dealer immediately.

WARNING:

. Do not place any objects on the steeringwheel pad and on the instrument panel. Donot place any objects between any occu-pants and the steering wheel pad and on theinstrument panel. Such objects may becomedangerous projectiles and cause injury if asupplemental air bag inflates.

. Immediately after inflation, several supple-mental air bag system components will behot. Do not touch them: you may severelyburn yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should be madeto any components or wiring of the supple-mental air bag systems. This is to preventaccidental inflation of the supplemental airbags or damage to the supplemental air bagsystems.

. Do not make unauthorized changes to yourvehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-tem, front end structure, and side panels.This could affect proper operation of thesupplemental air bag systems.

. Tampering with the supplemental air bagsystems may result in serious personalinjury. Tampering includes changes to thesteering wheel and the instrument panel byplacing materials over the steering wheelpad and above, around or on the instrumentpanel or by installing additional trim materi-als around the supplemental air bag sys-tems.

. Work around and on the supplemental airbag systems should be done by a NISSANdealer. The SRS wiring should not bemodified or disconnected. Unauthorizedelectrical test equipment and probing de-vices should not be used on the supple-mental air bag systems.

. The SRS wiring harness connectors areyellow and/or orange for easy identification.

When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may beheard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke isnot harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should

Supplemental front-impact air bag systemGUID-2C5DD36C-8F61-44CF-AC64-383D853D79F2

The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag islocated at the center of the steering wheel. Thepassenger’s supplemental front-impact air bag (ifequipped) is located at the instrument panel abovethe glove box.

The supplemental front-impact air bag system isdesigned 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 frontalimpact. It may not inflate in certain frontal collisions.Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always anindication of proper supplemental front-impact airbag system operation.

SRS AIR BAG DEPLOYMENTCONDITIONSGUID-203E9D93-4E73-4C96-9D98-ADE07A059E7D

The SRS air bags activate in the event of a front impactin which the vehicle occupants may be severely injuredeven if they are wearing the seat belts properly.

They may not activate when the crash energy isabsorbed and/or distributed by the vehicle body.Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always anindication of proper SRS air bag system operation.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow theserecommendations to obtain maximum engine perfor-mance and ensure the future reliability and economy ofyour new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommenda-tions may result in shortened engine life and reducedengine 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.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.

. Do not start quickly.

. Do not brake hard as much as possible.

GUID-AAA87CA6-B326-444B-B56C-6D5F0D198606

WARNING:

The driving characteristics of your vehicle willchange remarkably by any additional load andits distribution, as well as by adding optionalequipment (trailer coupling, roof racks, etc.).Your driving style and speed must be adjustedaccording to the circumstances. Especially whencarrying heavy loads, your speed must bereduced adequately.

. Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.

. Visually inspect tires for their appearance andcondition. Measure and check the tire pressure forproper inflation.

. Check that all windows and lights are clean.

. Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.

. Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrorpositions.

. Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to dothe same.

. Check that all doors are closed.

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

GUID-D98C1EAA-2799-4189-8EA8-5EF1FB7FDCF8

WARNING:

. Never leave children or adults who wouldnormally require the support of others alonein your vehicle. Pets should not be left aloneeither. They could unknowingly activateswitches or controls and inadvertently be-come involved in a serious accident andinjure themselves. On hot, sunny days,temperatures in a closed vehicle couldquickly become high enough to cause se-vere or possibly fatal illness to people oranimals.

. To prevent luggage or packages from slidingforward during braking, do not stack any-thing in the luggage area higher than theseatbacks.

NOTE:

During the first few months after purchasing anew vehicle, if you smell strong odors of VolatileOrganic Compounds (VOCs) inside the vehicle,ventilate the passenger compartment thor-oughly. Open all the windows before enteringor while in the vehicle. In addition, when thetemperature in the passenger compartmentrises, or when the vehicle is parked in directsunlight for a period of time, turn off the airrecirculation mode of the air conditioner and/oropen the windows to allow sufficient fresh airinto the passenger compartment.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-873D6187-D807-473B-9DC2-5628CCDD5088

WARNING:

. Do not breathe exhaust gas; it containscolorless and odorless carbon monoxide.Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can causeunconsciousness or death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes areentering the vehicle, drive with all windowsfully open, and have the vehicle inspectedimmediately.

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

. Do not park the vehicle with the enginerunning for an extended period of time.

. Keep the back door closed while driving,otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn intothe passenger compartment. If you mustdrive with the back door open, follow theseprecautions:

— Open all the windows.

— Turn the air recirculation mode off andset the fan speed control to the highestlevel to circulate the air.

. If a special body or other equipment isadded for recreational or other usage, followthe manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.(Some recreational vehicle appliances suchas stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. mayalso generate carbon monoxide.)

. The exhaust system and body should beinspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:

— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-viced.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes areentering into the passenger compart-ment.

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

— You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system, under-body, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYSTGUID-7EC6984A-9FDD-4A93-890F-D06311BA43ED

WARNING:

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system arevery hot. Keep people, animals and flam-mable materials away from the exhaustsystem components.

. Do not stop or park the vehicle overflammable materials such as dry grass,wastepaper or rags. They may ignite andcause 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 gasoline. (See “Recom-mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-2).) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriouslyreduce the ability of the three-way catalystto help reduce exhaust pollutants and/ordamage the three-way catalyst.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions inthe ignition, fuel injection, or electricalsystems may cause overrich fuel to flow intothe three-way catalyst, causing it to over-heat. Do not keep driving if the enginemisfires, or if noticeable loss of performanceor other unusual operating conditions aredetected. Have the vehicle inspectedpromptly by a NISSAN dealer.

. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of fuel could cause theengine to misfire, damaging the three-waycatalyst.

. Do not race the engine while warming it up.

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

This transmission has a high fluid temperature protec-tion mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too high(for example, when climbing steep grades in hightemperature with heavy loads, such as when towing atrailer), engine power and, under some conditions,vehicle speed will be decreased automatically toreduce the chance of transmission damage. Vehiclespeed can be controlled with the accelerator pedal,but engine and vehicle speed may be limited.

Fail-safeGUID-6AC770C0-6B31-4D52-AEFD-6F0EB673AA66

When the fail-safe operation occurs, the CVT will notbe shifted to the selected driving position.

If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may beactivated. This will occur even if all electricalcircuits are functioning properly. In this case,turn the ignition switch off and wait for 3seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back tothe “ON” position. The vehicle should return toits normal operating condition. If it does notreturn to its normal operating condition, have aNISSAN dealer check the transmission andrepair it if necessary.

. When the electric power steering warninglight illuminates with the engine running, thepower assist for the steering will ceaseoperation. You will still have control of thevehicle but the steering will be harder tooperate.

If the engine is not running or is turned off whiledriving, the power assist for the steering will notwork. The steering 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 will bereduced. This is to prevent overheating of the electricpower steering system and protect it from gettingdamaged. While the power assist is reduced, steeringwheel operation will become heavy. When thetemperature of the electric power steering systemgoes down, the power assist level will return to normal.Avoid repeating such steering wheel operations thatcould cause the electric power steering system tooverheat.

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

If the electric power steering warning lightilluminates while the engine is running, it may indicatethe electric power steering system is not functioning

The brake booster aids braking by using enginevacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the vehicleby depressing the foot brake pedal. However, greaterfoot pressure on the foot brake pedal will be requiredto stop the vehicle. The stopping distance will belonger.

If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving,the power assisted brakes will not function. Brakingwill be harder.

WARNING:

Do not coast with the engine stopped.

When the brake pedal is depressed slowly and firmly,you may hear a clicking noise and feel a slightpulsation. This is normal and indicates that the BrakeAssist System (if equipped) is operating.

Using brakesGUID-34690127-2001-4093-B98D-5032508203F8

Avoid resting your foot on the foot brake pedal whiledriving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out thebrake linings/pads faster, and increase fuel consump-tion.

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 performanceand could result in loss of vehicle control.

While driving on a slippery surface, be careful whenbraking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt braking

or acceleration could cause the wheels to skid andresult in an accident.

Wet brakesGUID-8D213B91-5B09-4954-922E-3024FE2B04C2

When the vehicle is washed or driven through water,the brakes may get wet. As a result, your brakingdistance will be longer and the vehicle may pull to oneside during braking.

To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speedwhile lightly depressing the foot 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.

Parking brake break-inGUID-0B81B12E-B539-4B6E-8D7E-FD589E66819A

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever thestopping effect of the parking brake is weakened orwhenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums/rotorsare replaced, in order to assure the best brakingperformance.

This procedure is described in the vehicle servicemanual and can be performed by a NISSAN dealer.

Driving uphillGUID-023FB8EF-66F7-4A25-A451-04A63B97E5FA

When starting on a steep grade, it is sometimesdifficult to operate both the brake and clutch (forManual Transmission model). Apply the parking braketo hold the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch. When readyto start, slowly release the parking brake whiledepressing the accelerator pedal and releasing theclutch pedal.

Driving downhillGUID-1732CF86-38A4-4EF5-A33C-C0C1C8C480EA

The engine braking action is effective for controllingthe vehicle while descending hills. For Manual Trans-mission (MT) model, the shift lever should be placed inthe lower speed position prior to descending. ForAutomatic Transmission (AT) model, the “1” or “2”position should be selected. For Continuously VariableTransmission (CVT) model, the “L” position should beselected.

BRAKE ASSIST (if equipped)GUID-0AA16A4C-2D16-4008-B52F-4911C93432F3

When the force applied to the brake pedal exceeds acertain level, the Brake Assist is activated generatinggreater braking force than a conventional brakebooster even with light pedal force.

WARNING:

The Brake Assist is only an aid to assist brakingoperation and is not a collision warning oravoidance device. It is the driver’s responsibilityto stay alert, drive safely and be in control of thevehicle at all times.

WARNING:

. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is asophisticated device, but it cannot preventaccidents resulting from careless or danger-ous driving techniques. It can help maintainvehicle control during braking on slipperysurfaces. Remember that stopping distanceson slippery surfaces will be longer than onnormal surfaces even with ABS. Stoppingdistances may also be longer on rough,

gravel or snow covered roads, or if you areusing tire chains. Always maintain a safedistance from the vehicle in front of you.Ultimately, the driver is responsible forsafety.

. Tire type and condition may also affectbraking effectiveness.

— When replacing tires, install the speci-fied size of tires on all four wheels.

— When installing a spare tire, make surethat it is the proper size and type asspecified on the tire placard. (See “Tireplacard” (P.9-7).)

— For detailed information, see “Tires andwheels” (P.9-5).

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls thebrakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brakingor when braking on slippery surfaces. The systemdetects the rotation speed at each wheel and variesthe brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel fromlocking and sliding. By preventing each wheel fromlocking, the system helps the driver maintain steeringcontrol and helps to minimize swerving and spinningon slippery surfaces.

Using systemGUID-168A5D30-44AD-4845-B997-CDAD7542443E

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depressthe brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do notpump the brakes. The ABS will operate to prevent thewheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoidobstacles.

WARNING:

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so mayresult in increased stopping distances.

Self-test featureGUID-C6129DA2-6C2B-4C8B-98B4-3ECE20A452AF

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps,hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The computer hasa built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system eachtime you start the engine and move the vehicle at a lowspeed in forward or reverse. When the self-testoccurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel apulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and doesnot indicate a malfunction. If the computer senses amalfunction, it switches the ABS off and illuminates theABS warning light on the meter. The brake system thenoperates normally, but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-testor while driving, have the vehicle checked by aNISSAN dealer.

Normal operationGUID-B5E70DAF-6DD4-43FF-8BB3-65FE8B7BA5AA

The ABS operates at speeds above 5 to 10 km/h (3 to6 MPH). The speed varies according to road condi-tions.

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 hood or feel a vibration from the actuatorwhen it is operating. This is normal and indicates thatthe ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsationmay indicate that road conditions are hazardous andextra care is required while driving.

MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRIBUT-ING TO VEHICLE CORROSION

GUID-81D7E05A-B507-4A30-97AE-AA38A6C29654

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

. Damage to the paint surface and other protectivecoatings caused by gravel and stone chips orminor traffic accidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCERATE OF CORROSION

GUID-79D0AF7A-D5DD-4424-9D03-7762841E790B

MoistureGUID-C040602B-7419-473D-ADDF-CD67173A0117

The accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the insidefloor of the vehicle can accelerate corrosion. Wet floorcarpet/floor mats will not dry completely inside thevehicle. They should be removed and completely driedto avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidityGUID-0253C37D-2200-46D4-AD32-62203822DA2F

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high relativehumidity.

TemperatureGUID-D28E7AE0-695A-45CF-84E8-2201FE867839

High temperatures accelerate the rate of corrosion tothose parts which are not well ventilated.

Corrosion will also be accelerated in areas where thetemperatures stay above freezing.

Air pollutionGUID-95CE9515-2832-4951-BDCC-A25075D3448D

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air incoastal areas, or heavy road salt use accelerates thecorrosion process. Road salt also accelerates thedisintegration of paint surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROMCORROSION

GUID-FB900F25-586D-42E8-994F-14077BAC058A

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

. Always check for minor damage to the paintsurface and if any exists, repair it as soon aspossible.

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

. Check the vehicle underbody for accumulation ofsand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water assoon as possible.

CAUTION:

. Never remove dirt, sand or other debris fromthe passenger compartment by washing itout with a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuumcleaner or broom.

. Never allow water or other liquids to come incontact with electronic components insidethe vehicle as this may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are extremelycorrosive. They accelerate corrosion and deteriorationof underbody components such as the exhaust system,fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan andfenders.

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.

When performing any inspection or maintenance workon your vehicle, always take care to prevent seriousaccidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle.The following are general precautions which should beclosely observed.

WARNING:

. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply theparking brake securely and block the wheelsto prevent the vehicle from moving. Movethe shift lever to the “P” (Park) position.(Automatic Transmission model/Continu-ously variable transmission model) or the

shift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position(Manual transmission model).

. Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or“LOCK” position when performing any partsreplacement or repairs.

. Do not work under the hood while theengine is hot. Always turn off the engineand wait until it cools down.

. If you must work with the engine running,keep your hands, clothing, hair and toolsaway from moving fans, belts and any othermoving parts.

. It is advisable to secure or remove any looseclothing and any jewelry, such as rings,watches, etc. before working on your vehi-cle.

. If you must run the engine in an enclosedspace such as a garage, be sure there isproper ventilation for exhaust gases toescape.

. Never get under the vehicle while it issupported by a jack.

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

. Never connect or disconnect either thebattery or any transistorized componentconnector while the ignition switch is in the“ON” position.

. On gasoline engine models with the Multi-port Fuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuelfilter and fuel lines should be serviced by aNISSAN dealer because the fuel lines areunder high pressure even when the engine isturned 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 theengine is not running. To avoid injury, alwaysdisconnect the negative battery cable beforeworking near the fan.

. Always wear eye protection whenever youwork on your vehicle.

. Never leave the engine or the transmissionrelated component harness connector dis-connected while the ignition switch is in the“ON” position.

. Avoid direct contact with used engine oil andcoolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,engine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluidscan hurt the environment. Always conform tolocal regulations for disposal of vehiclefluids.

This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sectionprovides instructions regarding only those items whichare 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.

The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings.When a brake pad requires replacement, it will make ahigh pitched scraping sound when the vehicle is inmotion. This scraping sound will first occur only whenthe brake pedal is depressed. After more wear of thebrake pad, the sound will always be heard even if thebrake pedal is not depressed. Have the brakeschecked as soon as possible if the wear warningsound is heard.

Have the system checked, and if necessary repaired,by a NISSAN dealer promptly.

Under some driving or climate conditions, occasionalbrake squeaks, squeals or other noises may be heard.Occasional brake noise during light to moderate stops

is normal and does not affect the function orperformance of the brake system.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSUREGUID-3147703F-D624-4CFD-A29A-C2C834301667

Periodically check the pressure of the tires, includingthe spare. An incorrect tire pressure may adverselyaffect tire life and vehicle handling. The tire pressureshould be checked when tires are COLD. Tires areconsidered COLD after the vehicle has been parkedfor 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile).COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire placard.(See “Vehicle identification” (P.9-6) for the location ofthe tire placard.)

Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of thetire and subsequent internal damage. At high speeds,this could result in tread separation and even burstingof the tire.

TYPES OF TIRESGUID-68ED41F1-6469-4059-A320-BCEFDF3328AF

CAUTION:

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

Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating thanthe factory equipped tires, and they may not match thepotential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed themaximum speed rating of the tire.

All season tiresGUID-4F5D0D60-C268-48EA-BA23-69A89F36A3E4

NISSAN specifies all season tires on some models toprovide good performance all year, including snowyand icy road conditions. All season tires are identifiedby ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tire sidewall.Snow tires have better snow traction than all seasontires and may be more appropriate in some areas.

Summer tiresGUID-5A9F4303-D8A5-42D8-8E2A-EFC20FE411BB

NISSAN specifies summer tires on some models toprovide superior performance on dry roads. Summertire performance is substantially reduced in snow andice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction ratingM&S on the tire sidewall.

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

Snow tiresGUID-23A62224-4A35-4DA4-9314-55259C0013B4

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tiresequivalent in size and load rating to the originalequipment tires. If you do not, it can adversely affectthe safety and handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings thanfactory equipped tires and may not match the potentialmaximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximumspeed rating of the tire. If you install snow tires, theymust be the same size, brand, construction and treadpattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires maybe used. However, some states and provinces prohibittheir use. Check local, state and provincial laws beforeinstalling studded tires. Skid and traction capabilitiesof studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may bepoorer than that of non-studded snow tires.

TIRE CHAINSGUID-D53F20AA-5DD7-4B87-95A2-79296D21B223

Use of tire chains may be prohibited according tolocation. Check the local laws before installing tirechains. When installing tire chains, make sure that theyare of proper size for the tires on your vehicle and areinstalled according to the chain manufacturer’s in-structions.

Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tirechain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end linksof the tire chains must be secured or removed toprevent the possibility of whipping action damage tothe fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fullyloading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition,drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle maybe damaged and/or vehicle handling and performancemay be adversely affected.

Tire chains must be installed only on the frontwheels and not on the rear wheels.

Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads which areclear of snow. Driving with chains in such conditionscan cause damage to the various mechanisms of thevehicle due to some overstress.

TIRE ROTATIONGUID-F8F0A9F8-E23B-4C70-88E4-DEA355AD97B6

SDI1662

NISSAN recommends that tires be rotated every

10,000 km (6,000 miles). However, the timing for tirerotation may vary according to your driving habits andthe road surface conditions. (See “Flat tire” (P.6-2) forthe tire replacement.)

WARNING:

. After rotating the tires, adjust the tirepressure.

. Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehiclehas been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles)(also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).

. Do not include the spare tire in tire rotation.

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

TIRE WEAR AND DAMAGEGUID-E84F2F3F-5C14-4418-A102-4A3B9AFCCAEB

SDI1663

*1 Wear indicator

*2 Wear indicator location mark

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



Black plate (158,1)

[ Edit: 2013/ 12/ 11 Model: L11-A ]


The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator.When the wear indicator is visible, the tire should bereplaced.

Improper service of a spare tire may result in seriouspersonal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire,contact a NISSAN dealer.

TIRE AGEGUID-5830C570-D697-408A-8CB4-6F4E73D81BF6

Never use a tire over six years old, regardless ofwhether it has been used or not.

Tires degrade with age as well as with the vehicleusage. Have your tires checked and balanced often bya repair shop or, if you prefer, a NISSAN dealer.

CHANGING TIRES AND WHEELSGUID-A5BD8823-24A4-4004-BE74-AECFB1EEFAB8

WARNING:

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

When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed ratingand load carrying capacity as originally equipped. (See“Tires and wheels” (P.9-5) for recommended types andsizes of tires and wheels.) The use of tires other thanthose recommended or the mixed use of tires ofdifferent brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, orradial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride,braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tireclearance, snow chain clearance, speedometer cali-bration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some ofthese effects may lead to accidents and could result inserious personal injury.

If the wheels are changed for any reason, alwaysreplace with wheels which have the same offsetdimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause

early tire wear, possibly degraded vehicle handlingcharacteristics and/or interference with the brakediscs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreasedbraking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.

WHEEL BALANCEGUID-75DD1B8A-3FD8-4E2A-9A79-4D771AC164F1

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling andtire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out ofbalance. Therefore, they should be balanced asrequired.

Spare tire label (if equipped)

Observe the following precautions if the spare tiremust be used, otherwise your vehicle could bedamaged or involved in an accident.

CAUTION:

. The spare tire should be used only foremergency. It should be replaced by thestandard tire at the first opportunity.

. Drive carefully while the spare tire is in-stalled.

. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking whiledriving.

. Do not drive your vehicle at speeds fasterthan 80 km/h (50 MPH).

. Do not use tire chains on a spare tire. Tirechains will not fit properly on the spare tireand may cause damage to the vehicle.

. Because the spare tire is smaller than theoriginal tire, ground clearance is reduced. Toavoid damage to the vehicle do not driveover obstacles. Also do not drive the vehiclethrough an automatic car wash since it mayget caught.

. Do not use the spare tire on other vehicles.

. Do not use more than one spare tire at thesame time.

. See the tire placard on your vehicle for moredetails.
