FEATURE
WARNING
Whilst driving, using the mobile phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your re-
action capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to a fatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during a phone con-
versation, when calling through the phone book
search, etc.
CAUTION
Certain country jurisdictions prohibit the use of
the mobile phone in the car without hands-free
support.
This chapter provides information about the NISSAN
hands-free phone system using a Bluetooth
®con-
nection. Bluetooth
®is a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system offers a hands-free facility for your
mobile telephone to enhance driving comfort.
NOTE
For models with NISSAN Connect system, see
the separately provided Owner’s Manual.
In order to use your mobile phone with the Blue-
tooth
®of the audio system, the mobile phone must
first be setup. For details, see “BLUETOOTH®
settings” later in this section. Once it has been
setup, the hands-free mode is automatically acti-
vated on the registered mobile phone (via Blue-
tooth
®) when it comes into range.
A notification message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming
call is being received, as well as when a call is initi-
ated.
When a call is active, the audio system, microphone
(located in the ceiling in front of the rear view mir-
ror), and steering wheel switches enable hands-free
communication.
If the audio system is in use at the time, the radio,
CD, or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay
muted until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
®system may be not be able to con-
nect with your mobile phone for the following rea-
sons:
The mobile phone is too far away from the ve-
hicle.
The Bluetooth®mode on your mobile phone has
not been activated.
Your mobile phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth®system of the audio unit.
The mobile phone does not support Bluetooth®
technology (BT Core v2.0).
NOTE
For models with NISSAN Connect (Audio with
Navigation system) see the separately pro-
vided Owner’s Manual.
For details, see your mobile phone’s Owner’s
Manual.
For assistance with your mobile phone inte-
gration, please visit your local NISSAN dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-
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
CONDITIONS
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
front.

WARNING
Never remove the key or turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK position while driving. The steering
wheel will lock and could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. This could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
The switch includes an anti-theft steering lock de-
vice.
There is an “OFF” position between the LOCK and
Acc positions, although it is not shown on the lock
cylinder. When the ignition switch is in the “OFF”
position, the steering wheel is not locked.

the accelerator pedal when the engine starts.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start,
turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position
and wait 10 seconds (Petrol engine models)
or 20 seconds (Diesel engine models) before
cranking again, otherwise the starter could be
damaged.
If it becomes necessary to start the engine
with a booster battery and jumper leads, the
instructions and cautions contained in the
“Jump-starting” in the “6. In case of
emergency” section should be carefully fol-
lowed.
7. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds
after starting. Drive at moderate speed for a short
distance first, especially in cold weather.
WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the
engine is warming up.
DRIVING WITH MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
CAUTION
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This may cause clutch damage.
Stop your vehicle completely before shifting
into the R (Reverse) position.
When you are shifting from one gear to an-
other, be certain to depress the clutch pedal
all the way to the floor to avoid clashing or
chipping the gears.
Avoid abrupt starts and acceleration for your
safety.
When quick acceleration is required for some
reason, shift to a lower gear and accelerate
until the vehicle reaches the maximum speed
in each gear. Do not exceed the speed limit of
any gear. Pay special attention when acceler-
ating or when shifting into a lower gear on
slippery surfaces. Sudden acceleration or
down shifting could cause the wheels to skid
and result in loss of control.

Depending on the driving conditions, the 4WD
mode may automatically change from 2WD to
4WD even when the 2WD mode is selected.
Do not start the engine while in the 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK mode:
When on free-roller or jacking the front tyres
with the rear tyres on the ground.
When towing with the rear tyres raised from
the ground.
4WD SHIFT TIPS
If the 4WD mode control is operated while cor-
nering, accelerating or decelerating, or if the ig-
nition is turned OFF while in the AUTO or LOCK
position you may feel a jolt - this is normal.
The oil temperature of power train parts will in-
crease if the vehicle is continuously operated
under conditions where the difference in rotation
between the front and rear wheels is large (wheel
slip), such as when driving the vehicle on rough
roads through sand or mud, or when freeing a
stuck vehicle. In these cases, the 4WD warning
light blinks rapidly, and the 4WD mode changes
to the 2WD condition to protect the power train
parts. If you stop the vehicle, with the engine
idling, and wait until the warning light stops blink-
ing the 4WD mode returns to the AUTO mode.
Braking distance in 4WD mode is the same as in
2WD mode.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Even if the mode automatically changes to AUTO
mode, when driving in the LOCK mode, the indi-
cator light stays in the LOCK mode.
CAUTION
Only use the 4WD mode control when driving
in a straight direction (to select 2WD, AUTO or
LOCK).
Do not use the 4WD mode control when turn-
ing or reversing.
Do not use the 4WD mode control with the
front wheels spinning (to select 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK).
Be especially careful when starting or driving
on slippery surfaces with the 4WD mode set
to AUTO.
Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
4WD WARNING LIGHT
Warning light Indication
mComes onThere is a malfunction in the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) system.
mBlinks rapidlyThe power train oil temperature is
abnormally high.
mBlinks slowlyThe difference in wheel rotation is
large.
The 4WD warning light is located in the tachometer.
The 4WD warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position and turns off
soon after the engine is started. If the 4WD warning
light comes on, the 4WD mode indicator light will go
out.
If the 4WD system malfunctions, or the revolution or
radius of the front and the rear wheels differ, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or blink
as follows:
High temperature transfer case oil makes the
warning light blink rapidly (approximately twice per second). Stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the engine idling. If, after a while, the light
goes out you can continue driving.
Where the difference in rotation between the
front and rear wheels is large (wheel slip) - such
as when driving on rough roads through sand,
mud, or freeing a stuck vehicle - the warning
light will blink slowly (approximately once per two
seconds). Set the 4WD mode to 2WD and do
not drive fast. A large difference in diameters
between the front and rear wheels will also cause
the 4WD warning light to blink slowly. Check
that all the tyre sizes are the same, the tyre pres-
sures are correct, and that the tyres are not worn.
CAUTION
If the warning light comes on or blinks while
driving, 4WD mode will change to 2WD mode.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
If the 4WD warning light blinks in the follow-
ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:
– Blinks rapidly (about twice a second) Pull off the road at a safe place and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD
to prevent the 4WD system from malfunction-
ing. The vehicle can be driven again as soon
as the warning light turns off.
5-26Starting and driving

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine – Blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds)Change the driving mode to 2WD and reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible.
If the warning light is still on after performing
the above operation, have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
4WD MODE INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD mode indicator light ( LOCK):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. When selecting LOCK mode while the
engine is running, this light will illuminate simul-
taneously along with the 4WD mode indicator
light (AUTO).
4WD mode indicator light ( AUTO):
This light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, and turns off within 1
second. If the engine is running, this light will illu-
minate when selecting AUTO mode.
The 4WD mode indicator light is located in the
tachometer.
The light should turn off within 1 second of the
ignition switch being turned to the ON position.
While the engine is running, the 4WD mode indi-
cator light will display the position selected by
the 4WD mode control. NOTE
The 4WD mode indicator light may blink while
shifting from one drive mode to another. Once
shifting is completed, the 4WD mode indicator
light will come on. If the indicator light does not
come on immediately, make sure that the area
around the vehicle is safe and free from ob-
stacles. Drive the vehicle straight (DO NOT ac-
celerate, decelerate or reverse), then turn the
4WD mode control.
If the 4WD warning lights comes on, the 4WD indi-
cator light(s) will go out.
DRIVING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
SAFELY
Your NISSAN is designed for both normal and off-
road use. However, avoid driving in deep water or
mud as your NISSAN is mainly designed for leisure
use, unlike a conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel drive (2WD) models are
less capable than Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
for rough road driving and extrication when stuck,
for example, in deep snow or mud.
Please observe the following precautions:
Drive carefully when off-road and avoid danger-
ous areas. Always wear seat belts to help keep
you and your passengers in position when driv-
ing over rough terrain.
Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive
either straight up or straight down the slope. Off- road vehicles can tip over sideways much more
easily than they can forwards or backwards.
Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. 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 gears when driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of the
vehicle.
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 the engine of the vehicle stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep grade, never at-
tempt to turn around. Your vehicle could tip or
roll over. Always drive backwards and straight
down in R (Reverse) gear.
Never drive backwards under the following con-
ditions as this could result in loss of control:
– with the gear lever in N (Neutral) and/or with
the clutch depressed and using the brake
(MT models).
– with the selector lever in N (Neutral) and us- ing only the brake (AT or CVT models).
Heavy braking down a hill could cause your
brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in loss of
control and an accident. Apply the brakes lightly
and use a low gear to control your vehicle speed.
Starting and driving5-27

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When parked on a sloping driveway, turn the
wheels so the vehicle will not roll into the street
in case it moves.
FACING DOWNHILL:j1
Turn the wheels into the kerb, allow the vehicle
to move forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb. Then set the handbrake.
FACING UPHILL:j2
Turn the wheels away from the kerb and allow
the vehicle to move back until the kerb side wheel
gently touches the kerb. Then set the handbrake.
NO KERB — FACING DOWNHILL OR UPHILL:j3
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so
the vehicle will move away from the centre of the
road if it moves. Then set the handbrake.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and remove the key/Intelligent Key (where fit-
ted).
Always turn off ignition after parking a vehicle
with Stop/Start System fitted to avoid a possible
flat battery.
NOTE
The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent
unnecessary fuel consumption, exhaust emis-
sions and noise during a journey. The Stop/
Start System does not automatically turn off
ignition at the end of a journey. 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.
When towing with 4WD models, the 4WD mode
switch should be in the AUTO position. Using
the vehicle in AUTO mode gives better traction,
particularly when moving off from stationary and/
or on an incline, as the vehicle is less likely to
wheel spin.
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 or CVT models), and turn the
front wheels into the kerb (in addition to the other
precautions described). Before parking on a
