WARNING:

. Do not drive and/or ride in the vehicle with

the seatback 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.

. For the most effective protection while the

vehicle is in motion, the seatback should be upright. Always sit well back in the seat and adjust the seat belt properly. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-6).)

FRONT SEATS

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

Manual seat adjustment

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 loss of control of the vehicle.

. Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage

area or on the rear seats when they are in the folded position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury in an accident or sudden stop.

JVR0090X

. Do not fold the rear seats while the vehicle is

moving.

. Do not fold the rear seats when occupants

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

. Properly secure all luggage to help prevent it

from sliding or shifting. Do not place luggage higher than the seatbacks.

. When returning the seat to the original

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.

. Securely store the removed head restraints

(if equipped) to prevent them from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.

. Head restraints (if equipped) should be

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

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 systems.

1-6 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Black plate (21,1)

SSS0134A

SSS0136A

SSS0014 SSS0016

WARNING:

. Seatbelts 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.

. Seatbelts 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.

. Every person who drives or rides in this

vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained on the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint system.

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

Black plate (22,1)

. 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 contamina-

tion 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 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 pre-tensioner seat belt (if

equipped) has activated, it cannot be reused. It must be replaced together with the retractor. Contact a NISSAN dealer.

. Removal and installation of the pre-ten-

sioner seat belt system components (if equipped) should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

CHILD SAFETY

GUID-BAB8F5D8-D1DC-4C60-8080-5DAA6733F22B

WARNING:

. Infants and children need special protection.

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.

Infants and small children

GUID-86834268-98A9-4C2A-A71B-B688289A27B9

SSS0099

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

GUID-980A4C6C-98D5-4373-9C27-BCDADB902D30

WARNING:

. Never allow children to stand or kneel on

any seats.

. Never allow children in the cargo areas 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

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle (marked CENTER for the center seat) until you hear and feel the latch engage.

The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion permits the seat belt to move, and allows you some freedom of movement in the seat.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINT USAGE

. 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 protection.

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 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 restraint system while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint system can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11

. 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.

. NISSAN recommends that the child restraint

system be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained on the rear seat rather than on the front seat.

. 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.

. For a front-facing child restraint system,

check to make sure the shoulder belt does not fit close to child’s face or neck. If it does, put the shoulder belt behind the child restraint system.

. Never install a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front seat. An inflating supplemental front-impact air bag (if equipped) could seriously injure or kill your child. A rear-facing child restraint system must only be used on the rear seat.

. Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned

to fit a child restraint system, but as upright as possible.

Black plate (26,1)

. If the seat belt in the position where a child

restraint system is installed requires a locking clip or another locking device and if it is not used, injuries could result from a child restraint system tipping over during normal vehicle braking or cornering.

. 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. The child restraint system should not move more than 25 mm (1 in). If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in another seat and test it again.

. Check the child restraint system in your

vehicle to be sure that it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat belt system.

. If a child restraint system is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

. 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.

. Always use an appropriate child restraint

system. An improperly installed child restraint system could lead to serious injury or death in an accident.

. 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.

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 always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. In addition, there are many types

1-12 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

of child restraint systems available for larger children that should be used for maximum protection.

CAUTION:

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

GUID-B40A7EEF-ADBD-4CF2-8E83-B0E688189B9C

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section contains important information concerning the driver’s and passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts.

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact force to the head and chest area of the driver and/or front passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supplemental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the front where the vehicle is impacted.

The SRS is designed to supplement the accident protection provided by the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts and is not designed to substitute for them. The SRS can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abrasions or other injuries. Air bags do not provide protection to the lower body. Seat belts should always be correctly worn and the occupants should always be seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel and instrument panel. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-6)). The air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the occupants. The force of the air bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupants are too close to, or are against, the air bag modules during inflation. The air bags will deflate quickly after deployment.

The SRS operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the SRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the SRS air bag system is operational. (See “SRS air bag warning light” (P.1-20).)

GUID-9925DA0D-9D65-4DAE-9460-8508E0AFA746

WARNING:

. The supplemental front-impact air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear the seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in accidents.

. The seat belts and the supplemental front-

impact air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. The front-impact air bags inflate with great force. If you and your passengers are unrest-

SSS0131A

SSS0132A

rained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or out of position in any way, you and your passengers are at greater risk of injury or death in an accident. You and your passengers may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the supplemental front-impact air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel. Always use the seat belts.

In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint system only on the rear seats. “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!"

When installing a child restraint system in your vehicle, always follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

For additional information, see “Child restraints” (P.1-

11).

The SRS air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits of the supplemental front-impact air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt systems. The circuits monitored by the SRS air bag warning light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sensor, front-impact air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts and all related wiring.

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

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

. The SRS air bag warning light remains on after

approximately 7 seconds.

. The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-

tently.

. The SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate

at all.

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

. Immediately after inflation, several supple-

mental air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them, or you may severely burn yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should be made

to any components or wiring of the supplemental air bag systems. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the supplemental air

Black plate (35,1)

bags or damage to the supplemental air bag systems.

. Do not make unauthorized changes to your

vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system, front end structure, and side panels. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental air bag systems.

. Tampering with the supplemental air bag

systems may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel by placing materials over the steering wheel pad and above, around or on the instrument panel or by installing additional trim materials around the supplemental air bag systems.

. Work around and on the supplemental air

bag systems should be done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the supplemental air bag systems.

. The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and/or orange for easy identification.

When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly.

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is located at the center of the steering wheel. The passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bag (if equipped) is located at the instrument panel above the glove box.

The supplemental front-impact air bag system is designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper supplemental front-impact air bag system operation.

belt system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the pretensioner seat belt system.

. If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner

seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre-tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.

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

When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

. Once the supplemental front-impact air bags

have been inflated, the air bag modules will not function and must be replaced. The air bag modules must be replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The inflated air bag modules cannot be repaired.

. The supplemental front-impact air bag sys-

tem should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer

if there is any damage to the front end portion of the vehicle.

. If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap

the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.

The supplemental front-impact air bags and pretensioner seat belts are designed to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged, the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after inflation has occurred. The repair and replacement of the SRS should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.

When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, information about the supplemental front-impact air bags, pre-tensioner seat belts and related parts should be pointed out to the person performing the maintenance. The ignition switch should always be in the “LOCK” position when working inside the vehicle.

GUID-6D49F188-44AA-44B6-8572-B22FC5155E5F

WARNING:

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING

GUID-1513B419-E721-466E-9642-1EC6DE5A203C

WARNING:

. Never leave children or adults who would

normally require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls and inadvertently become involved in a serious accident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal illness to people or animals.

. Properly secure all luggage to help prevent it

from sliding or shifting. Do not place luggage higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured luggage could cause personal injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

. Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains

colorless and odorless 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 an extended period of time.

GUID-E882960E-C958-4ACD-B012-BBEB3DA58B22

WARNING:

5-2 Starting and driving

Black plate (91,1)

. Keep the back door closed while driving,

otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive with the back door open, follow these precautions:

— Open all the windows.

— Turn the air recirculation mode off and

set the fan speed control to the highest level to circulate the air.

. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-

tions must pass to a trailer through the seal of the back door or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.

. If a special body or other equipment is

added for recreational or other usage, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also generate carbon monoxide.)

. The exhaust system and body should be

inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever: — Your vehicle is raised while being ser-

viced.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering into the passenger compartment.

— You notice a change in the sound of the

exhaust system.

— You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST (gasoline engine model)

. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are

very hot. Keep people, animals and flammable materials away from the exhaust system components.

. Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass, wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.

The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gas in the three-way catalyst is burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.

. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-

mended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-

2).) Deposits from leaded gasoline seriously reduce the ability of the three-way catalyst to help reduce exhaust pollutants and/or damage the three-way catalyst.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in

the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems may cause overrich fuel to 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

GUID-A05C0B24-1E58-4351-ACA0-29FB0F3B9753

WARNING:

CAUTION:

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.

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM (diesel engine model)

The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrication and cooling of its rotating components. The turbocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds and it can reach an extremely high temperature. It is essential to maintain a clean supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger system. A sudden interruption of oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbocharger.

To ensure prolonged life and performance of the turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the following maintenance procedure.

. Change the engine oil according to the

recommended intervals shown in a separate maintenance booklet.

. Use only the recommended engine oil. See

“Recommended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-2).

. If the engine has been operating at high rpm

for an extended period of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to turn off.

. Do not accelerate your engine to high rpm

immediately after starting it.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (if equipped for diesel engine model)

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reduces the amount of materials that affect the environment by collecting particulate matter included in exhaust gases. Normally, particulate matter accumulated in the DPF is automatically burned and converted to harmless substances during driving. However, when the regeneration process is not completed due to road conditions, particulate matter may accumulate in the DPF. If the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light turns on and the diesel particulate filter regeneration switch indicator light blinks, perform the manual regeneration process.

To maintain maximum Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) performance, follow these precautions:

. Use low-sulfur fuel (with less than S50 ppm). . Use an engine oil specified by NISSAN. (See

“Recommended fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-2).) If an engine oil not a specified by NISSAN is used, it could cause DPF malfunction or reduced fuel efficiency.

. Do not modify the DPF, muffler or exhaust

pipe. Otherwise it could affect the DPF performance and cause a malfunction.

. Do not kick or hit the DPF. The DPF has a

built-in catalyst system in the muffler. Such an impact could cause DPF damage.

NOTE: White smoke may be emitted from the exhaust

pipe under the following conditions: . When starting to drive your vehicle or during

acceleration after engine has been idling for a long period of time.

GUID-41B6C0B4-3C82-4028-9A80-951044FDDE84

CAUTION:

. When starting to drive your vehicle right

after the engine starts running.

. During cold weather.

This does not indicate a system malfunction.

MANUAL REGENERATION

GUID-0FA9A85D-7905-49CE-8E0F-2AC4D2909D2B

WARNING:

. Make sure that nobody is close to the

exhaust area.

. Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust

gases.

. Never run the manual regeneration in an

enclosed area such as a tunnel or a garage and be sure there is proper ventilation for exhaust gases.

. Do not park the vehicle over flammable

materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily.

. The filter becomes extremely hot after burn-

ing particulate matter.

NOTE: . During the regeneration process, white

smoke may be emitted from the exhaust pipe. This smoke may smell different from the exhaust gases. This does not indicate a system malfunction.

. The manual regeneration will not work when

the engine is cold or the coolant temperature is below 08C (328F). It starts only after the engine has warmed up.

. If the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regen-

eration switch indicator light does not blink even after the engine has warmed up, this may indicate a system malfunction. Have

your vehicle checked at a NISSAN dealer.

. During the regeneration process, the revolu-

tion speed of the engine increases up to 1,800 rpm and it will take approximately 30 minutes. In some cases, time to completion may change.

1. Park the vehicle safely off the road, away from traffic and in an open area.

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. Move the selector lever (Automatic transmission model) to the “P” (Park) position or shift lever (Manual transmission model) to the “N” (Neutral) position.

DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AT)

The Automatic Transmission (AT) in your vehicle is electronically controlled to produce maximum power and smooth operation.

The recommended operating procedures for this transmission are shown on the following pages. Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle performance and driving enjoyment.

Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This may cause a loss of control.

. The cold engine idle speed is high, so use

caution when shifting the transmission into a forward or reverse position before the engine has warmed up.

. Avoid revving up the engine while the

vehicle is stopped. This could cause unexpected vehicle movement.

. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”

(Reverse) position while the vehicle is moving. This could cause serious damage to the transmission.

. Except in an emergency, do not shift to the

“N” (Neutral) position while driving. Doing so can cause a loss of engine braking which may result in a collision, serious personal injury or death. In addition, coasting with the transmission in the “N” (Neutral) position may cause serious damage to the transmission.

GUID-78AABAFD-DA83-41C6-8D2F-11C438F2E0CE

WARNING:

CAUTION:

. Start the engine in either the “P” (Park) or

“N” (Neutral) position. The engine will not start in any other position. If it does, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer.

. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply

the parking brake when at a standstill for longer than a short waiting period.

. Keep the engine at idling speed while

shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to any driving position.

. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill

grade, do not hold the vehicle by depressing the accelerator pedal. The foot brake pedal should be depressed in this situation.

Starting vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot brake pedal before shifting the selector lever out of the “P” (Park) position.

2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and move the selector lever to a driving position.

3. Release the parking brake, the foot brake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
