outside mirror in the stored position, and
make sure that the back door is securely
closed when operating the vehicle using the
Around View Monitor.
The distance between objects viewed on the
Around View Monitor differs from the actual
distance.
The cameras are installed above the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the rear
number plate. Do not put anything on or cover
the cameras.
When washing the vehicle with high-pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
eras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on the lens,
a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
Do not strike the cameras. They are precision
instruments. Doing so could cause a malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
In some areas the system will not detect ob-
jects. When in the front or the rear view dis-
play, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be detected
j1 . When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of
the camera detecting areas will not appear in
the monitor

Due to electromagnetic radiation a red cross
might appear in the monitor. This is normal.
Check surroundings for safety. Move the ve-
hicle away from the source of the interfer-
ence if possible. If the red cross does not dis-
appear contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.

a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
If the battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged, the predictive course lines may be
displayed incorrectly. If this occurs visit a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If predictive course lines are displayed incor-
rectly visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search 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.
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the DPF warning light illuminated,
the fail-safe will limit engine revolutions and/
or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be
replaced and the process of burning accumu-
lated particulate matter must be carried out
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Service regeneration is a maintenance item
and is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
Use engine oil for DPF equipped models. For
details, see “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
CAUTION
The DPF becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Some diesel engine models are fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), which is a device that re-
moves carbon (soot) from the exhaust gas. To oper-
ate effectively, the DPF system must routinely con-
duct a cleaning operation, called regeneration, that burns-off the accumulated carbon. This regenera-
tion process is normally automatic and not visible to
the driver.
REGENERATION RESTRICTIONS
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys
or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up
of carbon in the filter. When this happens the DPF
warning light
will illuminate (and a message
will appear in the vehicle information display, see
“Vehicle information display” later in this section) to
inform you that the vehicle must be driven in a par-
ticular manner to begin regeneration.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided
that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle
should be driven at a speed of over 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the DPF warning light turns off. This pro-
cess can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
IF REGENERATION FAILS
Failure to react to the DPF warning lightmay
lead to saturation of the DPF system. If this hap-
pens, the Malfunction Indicator (MI)
will also
illuminate to indicate that a Service Regeneration by
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop is required.
The engine speed may also be limited to 3,000 rpm
to protect the DPF system.
NOTE
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
to perform a forced regeneration.

sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you
should be the one who knows best how to drive in
the given circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is
cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-
ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after
starting the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
Loads, their distribution and the attachment of equip-
ment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers, etc.)
will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle
considerably. Driving style and speed must be ad-
justed accordingly.
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
Avoid starting off, accelerating and stopping sud-
denly.
Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in
front.
When water covers the road surface in puddles,
small streams, etc, REDUCE SPEED to prevent
aquaplaning which will cause skidding and loss
of control. Worn tyres increase this risk.
DRIVING UNDER WINTER

Drive safely.
Avoid starting off, accelerating or stopping sud-
denly.
Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
Avoid sudden steering actions.
Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in

CARE WHEN DRIVING IGNITION SWITCH
5-6Starting and driving
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
WARNING
If the Electrically Power Assisted Steering
warning light (EPAS) illuminates while driv-
ing, the power assist for steering will be dis-
abled. Greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speed. Stop the ve-
hicle as soon as safely possible and contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for fur-
ther assistance.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving. Turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position and wait for approximately
20 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position again. If the light remains illu-
minated, we recommend you to contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section for further details regarding
the EPAS warning light.
The EPAS (Electrically Power Assisted Steering)
system is designed to assist steering.
The steering may appear to feel slightly stiff follow-
ing parking manoeuvres including a great deal of
steering. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by a
control system designed to prevent the motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The EPAS
system will return to normal operation the next time
the vehicle is driven.
Similarly, the EPAS system may not provide full as-
sistance during periods of reduced battery voltage
but will recover once normal battery voltage is re-
stored.
If the EPAS warning light comes on while the engine
is running, it may indicate that the EPAS system is
not working properly. As result greater steering ef-
forts are required to steer the steering wheel, espe-
cially in sharp turns and at low speeds. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
NOTE
Incorrectly inflated tyres can lead to poor steer-
ing ability and make the driver suspect a steering
problem: keep the vehicle’s tyres inflated to the
correct pressure at all times.
CAUTION
Any malfunction or accident that could have dam-
aged the steering components (including actual
or attempted theft damage) should be reported
to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
VEHICLE SECURITY
POWER STEERING SYSTEM
5-38Starting and driving
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have
braking ability with two wheels.
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Vacuum assisted brake
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops or the drive belt is bro-
ken, you can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pressure on the
brake pedal will be required to stop the vehicle and
the stopping distance will be longer.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-
ter, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your brak-
ing distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull
to one side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed
while lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the
brakes. Do this until the brakes return to normal.
Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake linings and pads faster and reduce fuel
economy performance.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes
from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a
lower gear before going down a slope or long down-hill gradient. Overheated brakes may reduce brak-
ing performance and could result in loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION
While driving on a slippery surface, be careful
when braking, accelerating or downshifting.
Abrupt braking actions or sudden acceleration
could cause the wheels to skid and result in an
accident.
Be aware that brakes will fade if repeated heavy
brake applications are made.
Driving uphill
When starting on a steep gradient, it is sometimes
difficult to operate the brake (AT or CVT models) or
both the brake and clutch (MT models). Use the
handbrake to hold the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch
(MT models). When ready to start, slowly release
the handbrake while depressing the accelerator
pedal and releasing the clutch (MT models) or de-
pressing the accelerator pedal (AT or CVT models).
Driving downhill
The engine braking action is effective for controlling
the vehicle while descending hills.
The gear lever (MT models) should be placed in a
gear position low enough to obtain sufficient engine
braking.
For the AT or CVT models, a low gear position in
the manual shift mode, low enough to obtain suffi-
cient engine braking, should be selected.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a so-
phisticated device, but it cannot prevent acci-
dents resulting from careless or dangerous
driving techniques. It can help maintain ve-
hicle control during braking on slippery sur-
faces. Remember that stopping distances
may also be longer on rough, gravel or snow
covered roads, or if you are using snow
chains. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the
driver is responsible for safety.
Tyre type and condition may also affect brak-
ing effectiveness.
– When replacing tyres, install the specified
size of tyres on all four wheels.
– When installing a spare tyre, make sure it is the proper size and type as specified on
the tyre placard. See “Vehicle
identification” in the “9. Technical
information” section for the tyre placard
location.
– For detailed information, see “Wheels and tyres” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the
brakes so that the wheels do not lock during hard
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces. The
system detects the rotation speed at each wheel
