WHEN READING THE MANUAL

This manual includes information for all options available on this model. Therefore, you may ﬁnd some information that does not apply to your vehicle. All information, speciﬁcations and illustrations in this manual are those in effect at the time of printing. NISSAN reserves the right to change speciﬁcations or designs without notice and without obligation.

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE

This vehicle should not be modiﬁed. Modiﬁcation could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from modiﬁcations may not be covered under NISSAN warranties.

READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY

Before driving your vehicle, read this Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure familiarity with controls and maintenance requirements, assisting you in the safe operation of your vehicle.

Throughout this manual we have used the symbol followed by the word WARNING. This is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that could cause death or serious personal injury. To avoid or reduce the risk, the procedures must be followed precisely.

The symbol followed by the word CAUTION is also used throughout this manual to indicate the presence of a hazard that could cause minor or moderate personal injury or damages to your vehicle. To avoid or reduce the risk, the procedures must be followed carefully.

SIC0697

If you see this symbol, it means “Do not do this” or “Do not let this happen” .

If you see a symbol similar to these in an illustration, it means the arrow points to the front of the vehicle.

Arrows in an illustration that are similar to these indicate movement or action.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING

This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car, because it has a higher center of gravity for off-road use. As with other vehicles with features of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident.

Be sure to read the “ON-PAVEMENT AND OFFROAD DRIVING PRECAUTIONS” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.

Arrows in an illustration that are similar to these call attention to an item in the illustration.

SEATS

WARNING:

● Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with the seat back reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be properly against the body. In an accident, you and your passengers could be thrown into the shoulder belt and receive neck or other serious injuries. You and your passengers could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious injuries.

SSS0133A

● For the most effective protection while the vehicle is in motion, the seat back should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly. (See “SEAT BELTS” later in this section.)

CAUTION:

When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damages.

FRONT SEATS

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle operation.

Manual seat adjustment

WARNING:

● After adjusting a seat, gently shake the seat to conﬁrm that the seat is locked securely. If the seat is not locked securely, it may move suddenly and could cause the loss of control of the vehicle.

● The seat back should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and up right in the seat. If the seat back is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

1-2 Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

2. Tilt the seat back to the desired position.

3. Release the adjusting lever to lock the seat back in position. The reclining feature allows the adjustment of the seat back for occupants of different sizes to help obtain the proper seat belt ﬁt. (See “SEAT BELTS” later in this section.)

The seat back may be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is parked.

● When folding the jump seat, be careful

not to squeeze your ﬁnger between the seat cushion and the body side.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING:

Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with the head restraint removed. This can be dangerous. Head restraints should be adjusted properly as they may provide signiﬁcant protection against injury in an accident. Check the height after someone else uses the seat.

The proper adjustment of the head restraint is as illustrated.

Adjust the head restraint so that the head restraint’s center is level with the center of the ears.

SSS0288

Adjustment (if equipped)

1. Pull up the head restraint to raise to the proper position.

2. Push in the lock knob ① and push down the head restraint to lower to the proper position.

The rear head restraint (if equipped) should only be used in the notched stem positions. The lowest head restraint position is the stowed position.

SEAT BELTS

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE

If you are wearing the seat belt properly adjusted and sitting upright and well back in the seat, chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes the supplemental air bag.

SSS0136A

SSS0016

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 may occur if a seat belt is not worn properly.

●

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

●

Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt. Each 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.

● Never carry more people in the vehicle than there are seat belts.

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

●

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 to the wearer.

●

Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat (if equipped) and, if appropriate, in a child restraint system.

●

Do not run the belt behind your back or under your arm. Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Serious injury may occur if a 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.

●

Care should be taken to avoid contami nation 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.

the protection afforded

●

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 .

●

All seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision by a NISSAN dealer. 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, when necessary, replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

●

Once the seat belt pre-tensioner has activated, it cannot be reused. It must be replaced together with the retractor. Contact a NISSAN dealer.

●

Removal and installation of the pre tensioner seat belt system components should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING:

Infants and children need special pro-

●

tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their small hipbones. In an accident, an improperly fitted seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.

Always use an appropriate child

●

restraint system.

Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

SSS0099

Infants and small children

NISSAN recommends that infants and small children be seated in a child restraint system. You should choose a child restraint system that fits your vehicle and the child, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Large children

WARNING:

● Never allow children to stand or kneel on any seats.

● Never allow children in the luggage area while the vehicle is moving. A child could be seriously injured in an accident or sudden stop.

Children who are too large for a child restraint system should be seated and restrained by the seat belts that are provided.

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 also fit the vehicle seat. Once the child has grown so that the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face or neck of the child, use the shoulder belt without the booster seat. In addition, there are many types of child restraint systems available for larger children that should be used for maximum protection.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat belts. Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.

The shoulder belt should rest on the

●

middle of the shoulder. It must not rest against the neck.

Be sure that the seat belt is not twisted

●

in any way.

● Be sure that the shoulder belt anchor is secured by trying to move the shoulder belt anchor up and down after adjustment.

Seat belt holder (Double Cab model with front bench seat)

If your vehicle is equipped with the seat belt holder ① on the front center seat cushion, pass the seat belt webbing through the seat belt holder as illustrated to prevent the entire seat belt assembly from falling down to the floor.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

Periodically check that the seat belt and all the metal components, such as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the seat belt webbing is found, the entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.

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.

To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild soap solution or any solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they are completely dry.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS USAGE

WARNING:

not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fitting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.

Infants and small children should always

●

be placed in an appropriate child re straint system while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint system can result in serious injury or death.

Child restraint systems specially designed

●

for infants and small children are available from several manufacturers. When selecting any child restraint systems, place your child in the child restraint system and check the various adjustments to be sure that the child restraint system is compatible with your child. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

Infants and small children should never

● be carried on your lap. It is not possible

for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, it is dangerous to put a seat belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

Infants and children need special pro-

● tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may
