the sunroof as it moves to the front or tilts down,
the sunroof will immediately open backward or
tilt up.
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the sunroof is closed by automatic operation
when the ignition switch is in the ON position or
for about 45 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the sunroof
occurs.
If the auto reverse function malfunctions and
repeats opening or tilting up the sunroof, keep
pushing toward the close position or keep push-
ing the tilt down switch within 5 seconds after it
happens, then the sunroof will fully close gradu-
ally. In this case, make sure nothing is caught in
the sunroof.
WARNING
There are some small distances imme-
diately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., in-side the vehicle before closing the
sunroof.
Sun shadeOpen or close the sun shade by sliding it
backward or forward.
The shade will open automatically when the
sunroof is opened. However, it must be closed
manually.Comfortable position (
A)
Depending on the driving speed and air recircu-
lating conditions, wind noise may occur when
the sunroof is fully opened. Closing the sunroof
one step toward the front position
A
from full
open will decrease the wind noise.
WARNING

In an accident you could be thrown
from the vehicle through an open
sunroof. Always use seat belts and
child restraints.

Do not allow anyone to stand up or
extend any portion of their body outof the sunroof opening while the ve-
hicle is in motion or while the sun-
roof is closing.
CAUTION

Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the sunroof before open-
ing.

Do not place any heavy object on the
sunroof or surrounding area.If the sunroof does not closeHave a NISSAN dealer check and repair the
sunroof.

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.AM RADIO RECEPTIONAM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electricalpower lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTIONWhen the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio
may not work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio
ON for satellite radio to receive all of the neces-
sary data.
The satellite radio mode will be skipped or “NO
SAT” will be displayed unless the optional sat-
ellite receiver and antenna are installed, and an
XM
or SIRIUS
TM
satellite radio service sub-
scription is active.
Satellite radio performance may be effected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
radio antenna.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player
CAUTION
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could damage theplayer.

To maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.

Cassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture and magnetic sources.

Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.

Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label
could jam in the player.

If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.

Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and

straight down the slopes. Off-road
vehicles can tip over sideways much
more easily than they can forward or
backward.

Many hills are too steep for any ve-
hicle. If you drive up them, you may
stall. If you drive down them, you may
not be able to control your speed. If
you drive across them, you may roll
over.

Do not shift ranges while driving on
downhill grades as this could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.

Be sure to use the engine brake. The
foot brake performance may be re-
duced, resulting in a possible acci-
dent.

Stay alert when driving to the top of a
hill. At the top there could be a drop-
off or other hazard that could cause
an accident.

If your engine stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around. Yourvehicle could tip or roll over. Always
back straight down in R (Reverse)
range. Never back down in N (Neu-
tral), using only the brake, as this
could cause loss of control.

Heavy braking going down a hill
could cause your brakes to overheat
and fade, resulting in loss of control
and an accident. Apply brakes lightly
and use a low range to control your
speed.

Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough ter-
rain. Properly secure all cargo so it
will not be thrown forward and cause
injury to you or your passengers.

To avoid raising the center of gravity
excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity of the roof rack (if so
equipped) and evenly distribute the
load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo
area as far forward and as low as
possible. Do not equip the vehicle
with tires larger than specified in this
manual. This could cause your ve-hicle to roll over.

Do not grip the inside or spokes of
the steering wheel when driving off-
road. The steering wheel could move
suddenly and injure your hands. In-
stead drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.

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 affected by strong side winds.
Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.

Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with AWD
engaged.
Accelerating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may
cause loss of control.
