WARNING ● When the vehicle is being used to carry cargo, properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat- backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEA T BEL T USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad- justed and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
WARNING ● Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly re- strained in the rear seat and, if appro- priate, in a child restraint. WARNING ● The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit.
WARNING ● Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. ● Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NO T THE WAIST .
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.
䊊 2 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. ● The retractor is designed to lock dur- ing 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.
WARNING When fastening the seat belts, be certain that the seatbacks are completely se- cured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop. Fastening the seat belts (Jump seats King cab models) 1.
䊊 3 P osition the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown. 䊊 4 Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the retractor to take up extra slack.
T o increase your confidence in the seat belts, check the operation as follows: ● Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly . The retractor should lock and re- strict further belt movement. If the retractor does not lock during this check or if you have any questions about seat belt opera- tion, see a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING ● Only NISSAN seat belt extenders, made by the same company which made the original equipment seat belts, should be used with NISSAN seat belts. ● Adults and children who can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Such unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in the event of an accident.
WARNING Infants and children need special protec- tion. 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 fit- ting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and do not allow a child in the cargo area. The child could be seriously injured or killed in a sudden stop or collision.

is reduced. Do not attempt to drive the ve- hicle back onto the road surface until vehicle speed is reduced. 6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the steering wheel until both tires return to the road surface. When all tires are on the road surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the ap- propriate driving lane.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter, pre- scription, and illegal drugs) . Don’t drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alco- hol, drugs, or some other physical condition.
● 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 hot. ● Lower your speed when encountering strong crosswinds. With a higher center of gravity, your NISSAN is more af- fected by strong side winds.
WARNING ● Never remove the ignition key or place the ignition switch in the LOCK position while driving. The steering wheel will lock (for models with a steering lock mechanism) . This may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and could result in serious vehicle damage or per- sonal injury.
There is an OFF position between the LOCK and ON positions. The OFF position is indicated by a “1” on the ignition switch. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the steering wheel is not locked (for mod- els with a steering lock mechanism) .
If the engine fails to start using a registered key (for example, when interference is caused by another registered key , an automated toll road device or automatic payment device on the key ring) , restart the engine using the following pro- cedures: 1.
● If the engine is very hard to start in extremely cold weather or when restarting, depress the accelerator pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to the floor) and hold it and then crank the engine. Release the key and the accel- erator pedal when the engine starts.
The automatic transmission is designed so the foot brake pedal MUST be depressed before shifting from P (Park) to any drive position while the ignition switch is in the ON position. The shift selector cannot be moved out of the P (Park) position and into any of the other gear positions if the ignition switch is placed in the LOCK or OFF position.
Use the P (Park) shift selector position when the vehicle is parked or when starting the engine. Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped. The brake pedal should be depressed to move the shift selector from N (Neutral) or any drive position to P (Park) .
Shift lock release If the battery is discharged, the shift selector may not be moved from the P (Park) position even with the brake pedal depressed. T o move the shift selector, release the shift lock.
Overdrive switch Each time your vehicle is started, the transmis- sion is automatically “reset” to overdrive ON. ON: With the engine running and the shift selector in the D (Drive) position, the transmission upshifts into Overdrive as vehicle speed increases.
Shifting T o change gears, or when upshifting or down- shifting, depress the clutch pedal fully , shift into the appropriate gear, then release the clutch slowly and smoothly . T o ensure smooth gear changes, fully depress the clutch pedal before operating the shift selector.
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.
T o engage: Pull the parking brake lever up 䊊 A . T o release: 1. Firmly apply the foot brake. 2. Manual transmission models: Place the shift selector in the N (Neutral) position. Automatic transmission models: Move the shift selector to the P (Park) position.
● The SET indicator light may blink when the cruise control main switch is turned ON while pushing the ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET , or CANCEL switch (located on the steering wheel) . T o properly set the cruise control system, use the following pro- cedures.
T o reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following three methods. ● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and release the COAST/SET switch. ● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you de- sire, release the switch.
● When cruising at highway speeds, it is more economical to use the air conditioner and leave the windows closed to reduce drag. ● For vehicles equipped with , use 4H or 4L position only when necessary . Four- wheel drive operation lowers fuel economy .
TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING PROCEDURES The part time 4WD system provides 3 positions (2WD, 4H and 4L O) , so you can select the desired drive mode according to the driving conditions.
*1: Before moving the shift selector from neutral, wait until the 4L O indicator light stays on steady. This indicates that the 4WD shift procedure is completed and the transfer gear is correctly set in the 4L O position.
The transfer case 4WD shift switch is used to select either 2WD or 4WD depending on the driving conditions. There are three types of drive modes available, 2WD, 4H and 4L O. The 4WD shift switch electronically controls the transfer case operation. Rotate the switch to move between each mode, 2WD, 4H and 4L O.
When the vehicle is stuck, ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4L O. ● Use the Electronic Locking Rear Differential (E-Lock) system (if so equipped) . T urn the switch ON while the vehicle is stationary and apply the throttle to try to free the vehicle.
4WD shift indicator light The 4WD shift indicator light is located in the odometer display . The light should turn off within 1 second after turning the ignition switch to the ON position. While the engine is running, the 4WD shift indi- cator light will illuminate the position selected by the 4WD shift switch.
● When the warning light comes on, the 2WD mode may be engaged even if the 4WD shift switch is in 4H . Be especially careful when driving. If corresponding parts are malfunctioning, the 4WD mode will not be engaged even if the 4WD shift switch is shifted.
WARNING ● Never leave the E-Lock system ON when driving on paved or hard-surfaced roads. T urning the vehicle may result in the rear wheels slipping and result in an accident and personal injury. After us- ing the E-Lock system to free the ve- hicle, turn the system OFF .
WARNING ● Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire. ● Safe parking procedures require that both the parking brake be set and the transmission placed into P (Park) for automatic transmission models or in an appropriate gear for manual transmis- sion models.
The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering. If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service manual and can be performed by a NISSAN dealer. ANTI-L OCK BRAKING S Y STEM (ABS) WARNING ● The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot pre- vent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques.
When the ABS senses that 1 or more wheels are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly . Y ou may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from the actuator when it is operating.
The V ehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and ve- hicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the VDC System helps to perform the following functions: ● Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
● Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If suspension parts such as shock ab- sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bushings and wheels are not NISSAN recommended for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly.
centrate on steering while reducing the burden of brake and accelerator operation. ● When additional braking is required on steep downhill roads activate the hill de- scent control system by pushing the switch ON, see “Hill descent control switch” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR L OCK T o prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de- icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob (if so equipped) .
● Whatever the condition, drive with cau- tion. Accelerate and slow down with care. If accelerating or downshifting too fast, the drive wheels will lose even more traction. ● Allow more stopping distance under these conditions. Braking should be started sooner than on dry pavement.
