OWNER’S MANUAL

and MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

WARNING

Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca. gov/passenger-vehicle.

This manual was prepared to help you understand the operation and maintenance of your vehicle so that you may enjoy many miles of driving pleasure. Please read through this manual before operating your vehicle.

A separate Warranty Information Booklet explains details about the warranties covering your vehicle. Additionally, a separate Customer Care/Lemon Law Booklet (U.S. only) will explain how to resolve any concerns you may have with your vehicle, as well as clarify your rights under your state’s lemon law.

In addition to factory installed options, your vehicle may also be equipped with additional accessories installed by NISSAN or by your NISSAN dealer prior to delivery. It is important that you familiarize yourself with all disclosures, warnings, cautions and instructions concerning proper use of such accessories prior to operating the vehicle and/or accessory. It is recommended you see a NISSAN dealer for details concerning the particular accessories with which your vehicle is equipped.

Your NISSAN dealer knows your vehicle best. When you require any service or have any questions, we will be glad to assist you with the extensive resources available to us.

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. 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 “Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving safety precautions” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.

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 modification may not be covered under NISSAN warranties.

WARNING

Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the port during normal driving, for example remote insurance company monitoring, remote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or engine reprogramming, may cause interference or damage to vehicle systems. We do not recommend or endorse the use of any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices, unless specifically approved by NISSAN. The vehicle warranty may not cover damage caused by any aftermarket plug-in device.

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit

well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-13).

. After adjustment, gently rock in

the seat to make sure it is securely locked.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or

death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

. Do not adjust the driver’s seat

while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.

. The seatback should not be re-

clined 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 seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

different sizes to help obtain the proper seat belt fit. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-13).)

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

JVR0333X

Seat lifter (if so equipped):

Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to adjust the seat height until the desired position is achieved.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-7

WAB0132X

Before folding the rear seats

. Secure the outer seat belt on the seat

belt hook. (See “Seat belt hook” (P.1-

19).)

. If the rear seat is equipped with the

head restraints/headrests, slide the front seat forward to make enough room behind the seat so that the rear seatback can be folded flat.

. Remove drink containers from the

rear cup holder.

To fold down the seatback

Pull the lever

(if so equipped) located on

the side of the luggage area.

To return the seatback

. Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seats when they are in the fold-down position. In a collision, people riding in these areas without proper restraints are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

. Do not allow people to ride in any

area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

. Do not allow more than one

person to use the same seat belt.

. Do not fold down the rear seats

when occupants are in the rear seat area or any luggage is on the rear seats.

— Make sure that the seat path

is clear before moving the

seat.

— Be careful not to allow hands

or feet to get caught or pinched in the seat.

. Head restraints/headrests should

be adjusted properly as they may provide significant protection against injury in an accident. Always replace and adjust them properly if they have been removed for any reason.

. If the head restraints/headrests

are removed for any reason, they should be securely stored to prevent them from causing injury to passengers or damage to the vehicle in case of sudden braking or an accident.

. When returning the seatbacks to

the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

. Properly secure all cargo to help

prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo

could cause personal injury.

To return the rear seatback, raise the seatback until it latches.

When returning the seatback, make sure that the seat belt is not interfering with the seatback latch mechanism.

WARNING

1-8 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

. After adjustment, gently rock in

the seat to make sure it is securely locked.

. Do not ride in a moving vehicle

. For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat belt properly. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-13).)

Rear seats

ARMREST

Pull the armrest down as shown.

JVR0327X

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

WARNING

Head restraint/headrest supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/headrests must be adjusted properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat if the head restraint/headrest has been removed. If the head restraint/ headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/ headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraint/ headrest. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.
