WARNING
Always secure cargo with ropes or straps 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.
UTILITY HOOKS (where fitted)
The luggage compartment provides 2 utility hooksjA on both luggage compartment side panels. Do
notapplyaloadofmorethan20kg(44lb)toa
single utility hook.
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps
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.
•Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure cargo.
•Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage
area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
luggage area inside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas 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 the adequate seat belt properly.
•Only two anchorage points identified by the
top tether labels can be used for top tether
strap anchorage. Under no circumstances
should the luggage hooks be used for top
tether strap anchorage.
WARNING
•Remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch or take the Intelligent Key (where fit-
ted) with you when leaving unattended chil-
dren inside the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches.
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle before closing
the windows with either the driver’s side main
switch or passenger’s side switch.
•It is recommended to instruct all occupants in
the safe operation of power windows with par-
ticular emphasis given to safety and supervi-
sion of children.

•The Intelligent Key contains a miniature radio
transmitter that may be affected when placed
near metal objects.
•Keep the Intelligent Key away from mobile
phones, lap-top computers and other metal
objects or electronics.
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE
INTELLIGENT KEY
See “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.
CAUTION
•Make sure you carry the Intelligent Key with
you when starting and driving the vehicle.
•If the Intelligent Key is too far away from the
passenger compartment, the vehicle may not
start.
WARNING
•Always look before opening any doors, to
avoid an accident with oncoming traffic.
•Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently
become involved in a serious accident.
SUPER LOCK SYSTEM (Right-hand
drive models)
WARNING
For Super Lock System equipped models, failure
to follow the precautions below may lead to haz-
ardous situations. Make sure the Super Lock Sys-
tem activation is always safely conducted.
•When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
System prevents the doors from being opened
from the inside of the vehicle.
•Only operate the integrated keyfob lock but-
ton when there is a clear view of the vehicle.
This is to prevent anybody from being trapped
inside the vehicle through the Super Lock
System activation.
Locking the doors with the integrated keyfob will
lock all doors including the back door and activate
the Super Lock System. This means that none ofthe doors can be opened from the inside, adding
extra security in case of break-in or theft.
The system will be released when the door is un-
locked with the integrated keyfob.
The Super Lock System will not activate when the
doors are locked with the power door lock switch or
the key.
Emergency situations
If the Super Lock System is activated due to a traf-
fic accident or other unexpected circumstances
while you are in the vehicle:
•Insert the key/emergency key in the ignition
switch, turn it to the ON position, the Super Lock
system will be released and all doors can be
unlocked.
•Open or break the door window on the front
passenger’s side, remove the protection cap on
the passenger’s side door handle, insert the key
into the passenger’s side door key cylinder and
turn it to the unlock position, after which you will
be able to open the door.
•Remove the key from the ignition switch and un-
lock the door using the integrated keyfob.

STARTING THE ENGINE
5-10Starting and driving
•Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and remove the key/Intelligent Key (where fit-
ted).Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily
to carry passengers and luggage.
Remember that towing a trailer will place additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine, drive-train, steering,
braking and other systems. Towing a trailer will also
exaggerate other conditions, such as sway caused
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing
trucks. Driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
for an explanation of towing equipment and its
proper use.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
•Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in
schedule.
•Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop where you
can also obtain more detailed information about
trailer towing.
Heavy-duty kits are available at a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
•It is advisable to contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for towing details, before
towing a trailer up steep slopes for long dis-
tances.
•Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight
plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum
set for the coupling device.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
for more information on this matter.
•The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are distributed over the axle and as low in the
trailer as possible. Poor load distribution can se-
riously affect the stability of the trailer and tow
vehicle.
•Do not exceed the maximum permitted vertical
load on the trailer hitch.
•Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
•Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
•Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
•Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.
•Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the handbrake (where
fitted) on the trailer. Parking on a steep slope is
not recommended.
If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable it is
also advisable to put the vehicle into gear, or
select P (Park, AT models), and turn the front
wheels into the kerb (in addition to the other pre-
cautions described). Before parking on a steep
slope consider the incline (the towing weights
quoted are for a 12% slope).
•Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
