Welcome To The World Of NISSAN
Your new NISSAN is the result of our dedication
to produce the finest in safe, reliable and eco-
nomical transportation. Your vehicle is the prod-
uct of a successful worldwide company that
manufactures cars and trucks in over 17 coun-
tries and distributes them in 170 nations.
NISSAN vehicles are designed and manufactured
by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. which was founded in
Tokyo, Japan in 1933, and NISSAN affiliates world-
wide, collectively growing to become the fifth largest
automaker in the world. In addition to cars and
trucks, NISSAN also makes forklift trucks, marine
engines, boats and other diversified products.
NISSAN has made a substantial and growing
investment in North America. NISSAN's commit-
ment is nearly $4 billion dollars in capital invest-
ments in facilities across the continent. Some of
the facilities include the Nissan Manufacturing
facility in Smyrna, Tennessee, vehicle stylingdesign at Nissan Design International in San
Diego, California, and engineering at Nissan
Technical Center North America in Farmington
Hills, Michigan. Additionally, NISSAN employs
nearly 18,000 people throughout the United
States, Canada, and Mexico. An additional
71,000 people work for the 1,500 NISSAN and
INFINITI dealers across North America.
NISSAN is also a substantial contributor to the
Canadian economy. Nissan Canada Inc., its sup-
pliers and over 140 dealers employ approxi-
mately 4,500 people. These include company
employees and the staffs of NISSAN dealers all
across Canada. In addition, many Canadians
work for companies that supply NISSAN and
NISSAN dealers with materials and services
ranging from the operation of port facilities and
transportation services, to the supply of lubri-
cants, parts and accessories.NISSAN pioneered the use of electronics and
computers in automobiles, and has led the indus-
try in improving both performance and fuel effi-
ciency through new engine designs and the use
of synthetic materials to reduce vehicle weight.
The company has also developed ways to build
quality into its vehicles at each stage of the
production process, both through extensive use
of automation and Ð most importantly Ð
through an awareness thatpeopleare the cen-
tral element in quality control.
From the time the parts arrived from our suppli-
ers until you took delivery of your new NISSAN,
dozens of checks were made to ensure that only
the best job was being done in producing and
delivering your vehicle. NISSAN also takes great
care to ensure that when you take your NISSAN
to your dealer for maintenance, the service techni-
cian will perform his work according to the quality
standards that have been established by the
factory.
Safety has also been built into your NISSAN. As
you know, seat belts are an integral part of the
safety systems that will help protect you and your
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or an
accident. We urge you to use the seat belts every
time you drive the vehicle.
The NISSAN story of growth and achievement
reflects our major goal: to provide you, our
customer, with a vehicle that is built with quality
and craftsmanship Ð a product that we can be
proud to build and you can be proud to own.

cBefore placing the child in the inte-
grated child safety seat, confirm that
the bench seatback is securely
locked and the seatback release le-
ver is in full down position.
cAlways make sure the integrated
child safety seat belts are properly
positioned on your child. The child
should sit straight up and back
against the bench seat. The shoulder
harnesses should be centered over
the shoulders and fastened with the
chest clip. The belt buckle should be
between the legs and latched to the
shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust
the belts around your child. Failure
to properly position the child can
increase the risk or severity of injury
to the child in an accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.
Securing the child
Before using the integrated child safety
seats, carefully read the shoulder har-
ness, seatback release, and integrated
child safety seat cushion labels.
The following steps apply to both the left
and right integrated child safety seats.
1. Be sure your child meets all of the re-
quired age, weight and height require-
ments for the safe use of the integrated
child safety seat.
2. Be sure the second row bench seat is
securely latched to the floor of the ve-
hicle. Refer to ``Flexible seating'' in this
section for proper seat installation proce-
dures.
3. Be sure the second row bench seatback
is locked by grasping it and trying to rock
it back and forth. Also, check that the
seatback release lever is in the full down
position.

LUGGAGE RACK
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the
luggage rack. Do not load more than 100
pounds (45 kg). Be careful that your vehicle
does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR
and GAWR are located on the Safety Com-
pliance Certification Label (located on the
driver's door pillar). For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to
``Technical and Consumer Information''.
The front and rear cross-bars can be adjustedforward and backward. Place your luggage
between the bars, adjust the bars, and secure
the luggage with rope to the bars. Always
check the tightness of the adjusting knobs.
There are also adjustable loops on the side
bars for the rope attachment.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing
items from the luggage rack. If you
cannot comfortably lift the items onto
the luggage rack from the ground, use
a ladder or stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
cMake sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
before closing the windows. Use the
window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls
and become trapped in a window.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

when tires are COLD. Tires are considered
COLD after the vehicle has been parked for
three or more hours, or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km). COLD tire pressures are
shown on the tire placard affixed to the
inside of the glove box.
WARNING
cImproperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
cThe vehicle capacity weight is indi-
cated on the tire placard. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capacity.
Overloading your vehicle may result
in reduced tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may also re-
sult in failure of other vehicle com-
ponents.
c
Before taking a long trip, or whenever
you have loaded your vehicle heavily,
use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
that the tire pressures are at the
specified level.
cDo not drive your vehicle over 85
MPH (140 km/h) unless it is equipped
with high speed rated tires. Driving
faster than 85 MPH (140 km/h) may
result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury.
TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
When changing or replacing tires, be
sure all four tires are of the same type
(i.e., summer, all season or snow) and
construction. An authorized NISSAN
dealer may be able to help you with
information about tire type, size, speed
rating and availability. Replacement
tires may have a lower speed rating
than the factory equipped tires, and
may not match the potential maximum
vehicle speed. Never exceed the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tire.
All season tires
NISSAN specifies All Season tires to pro-
vide good performance all year, including
snowy and icy road conditions. All SeasonTires are identified by ``ALL SEASON''
and/or ``M&S'' on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than All
Season tires and may be more appropriate
in some areas.
Snow tires
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to
select tires equivalent in size and load rating
to the original equipment tires. If you do not,
it can adversely affect the safety and han-
dling of your vehicle.
Generally, snow tires have lower speed
ratings than factory equipped tires and may
not match the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tire.
If you operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of
snow or all season tires on all four wheels.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded
tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit their
use. Check local, state and provincial laws
before installing studded tires. Skid and
traction capabilities of studded snow tires
on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than
that of non-studded snow tires.
