3-14Pre-driving checks and adjustments
During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
5-2Starting and driving
WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•To prevent luggage or packages from sliding
forward during braking, do not stack anything
in the cargo area higher than the seatbacks.
•Secure all cargo with ropes or straps to pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting.
•Failure to follow proper seating instructions
see “Seats” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion, could result in serious personal injury in
an accident or sudden stop.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colourless and odourless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas and can
cause unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open and have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
•Do not run the engine in closed spaces, such
as a garage, for any longer than is absolutely
necessary.
•Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for any extended length of time.
•Keep the back door closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must drive in
this way for some reason, take the following
steps:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Manual air conditioner equipped models:
Move the air intake lever to the
posi-
tion.
Automatic air conditioner equipped mod-
els: Switch on the outside air mode.
3) Set the fan speed control to the maximum
position to circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to a trailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
•When a vehicle has been stopped in an open
area with its engine running for any significant
length of time, turn the fan on to force outside
air into the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop whenever:
– the vehicle is raised for service.
– you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
– you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
– you have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3
•Rear overhang of coupling device:
A.715 mm (28.1 in)When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
•Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent Key
(where fitted) and take it with you – even in your
own garage.
•Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
•Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
At night, park in a well lit area.
•If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm or immo-
bilization device, use it – even for short periods.
•Do not leave children and pets in the vehicle
unattended.
•Do not leave valuables on view to tempt a thief.
Always take your valuables with you. If you must
leave something in your vehicle, lock it in the lug-
gage compartment or hide it out of sight.
•Do not leave the vehicle documents in your ve-
hicle. In the unfortunate event of your vehicle
being stolen, the documents will only help a thief
to sell the vehicle.
•Do not leave articles on a roof rack as they are
particularly vulnerable. If possible, remove them
from the rack and lock them inside the vehicle.
•Do not leave the spare key or Intelligent Key in
the vehicle – keep it in a safe place at home.
•Do not leave a note of your vehicle’s key number
in the vehicle. A thief may break into the vehicle,
note the key number and return with a new key
and drive the vehicle.
