Unlocking the unit
If the battery supply to the vehicle is interrupted, the
audio unit will lock.
When the power is restored and the unit switched
on, the display will show [Radio Code:] and it will be
unlocked when the codes have been entered cor-
rectly.
Unlocking procedure:
Read this section very carefully. It is important
that the instructions are followed precisely.
To unlock the audio unit, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Acc or ON posi-
tion.
2. [Radio Code:] is displayed along with four nu-
merical zero digits.
3. Press preset button <
j1 > the number of times
corresponding with the first digit of the radio
code.For example, if the radio code is 5169: for the
first digit, “5”, press the preset button <
j1 > five
times.
4. The second, third, and fourth digits of the radio
code must be entered, in the same way, only
now using preset buttons <
j2>,
For example, press <
j2 > once,
and
5. Press with a long press preset button <
j6>to
confirm the code. If you entered the code cor-
rectly the unit will switch on.
6. If the code is entered incorrectly a notification
message ([INCORRECT PIN]) and the number
of attempts left ([REMAINING TRIES: XX]) will
be shown.
After reading the message, press the
button to return to the entry screen and enter the
correct radio code.
– If the wrong code is entered after the third
attempt, the audio unit will lock for 60 min-
utes. The display will show a count down timer
from 60 to 0 (minutes). After 60 minutes enter
the correct radio code.
– If the wrong code is entered after eight sets
of three entries, the audio unit will lock per-
manently. Contact a NISSAN dealer for fur-
ther details.

ommended by the manufacturer.
•Connect the ground wire from the radio chas-
sis to the body.

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

NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system. In the converter,
exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. While the engine is running, keep
people or flammable materials away from the
exhaust pipe.
•Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags, as they may burn easily.
•When parking, ensure that people or flam-
mable materials are kept away from the ex-
haust pipe.
TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE
CAUTION
•Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically
the recommended type. For details, see “Ca-
pacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
•Do not use leaded petrol. Leaded petrol will
seriously damage three-way catalyst.
Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems can cause over-rich fuel flow into the
converter, causing it to overheat.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
•Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or
if noticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected. Have
the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
•Do not race the engine while warming it up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and cooling of its rotating components. The tur-
bocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds
and it can reach an extremely high temperature. It is
essential to maintain a flow of clean oil through the
turbocharger system. A sudden interruption to the
oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbo-
charger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-
lowing maintenance procedure:
CAUTION
•Change the engine oil of the turbo-charged
diesel engine as prescribed. See the sepa-
rately provided Warranty Information & Main-
tenance Booklet for additional information.
•Use only the recommended engine oil. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants” in the “9. Technical information”
section.
•If the engine has been operating at high rpm
for an extended period of time, let it idle for a
few minutes prior to shutdown.
•Do not accelerate the engine to high rpm im-
mediately after starting it.
