Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio
system” section or “Ultrasonic Parking Sensor
(where fitted)” later in this section.
If it is difficult to move the gear lever into R (Re-
verse) or 1st. Shift into N (Neutral), then release the
clutch pedal. Fully depress the clutch pedal again
and shift into R (Reverse) or 1st.
DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION OR WITH
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (Models with manual
shift)
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or re-
verse gear before the engine has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Driving precautions
Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse) while
the vehicle is moving, this could result in dam-
age to the transmission.
Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any otherselector position. If it does, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Re-
verse), D (Drive) or Manual shift modes posi-
tion. Always depress the brake pedal until
shifting is completed.
On an uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The foot-
brake should be used for this purpose, in or-
der to hold the vehicle in place and to prevent
overheating of the transmission.
Shift into the N (Neutral) position and apply
the handbrake when at a standstill for longer
than a short waiting period.
Keep the engine at idling speed while shifting
from the N (Neutral) position to any driving
position.
CAUTION (when starting the vehicle):
DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL
When the engine is running, shifting the se-
lector lever into the R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
Manual shift mode position without depress-
ing the brake pedal causes the vehicle to
move slowly. Be sure the brake pedal is fully
depressed and the vehicle is stopped, before
shifting the selector lever.
BE AWARE OF THE SELECTOR LEVER POSI-
TION Make sure that the selector lever is in the
desired position. Use the D (Drive), or Manual
shift mode to move forwards and the R (Re-
verse) to move backwards. Release the hand-
brake lever and the footbrake pedal, then de-
press the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle
in motion and merge with traffic (avoid abrupt
starting and spinning the wheels).
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped, this could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement [if the selector lever is in the
R (Reverse), D (Drive), or Manual shift mode
position] or damage the engine [if the selec-
tor lever is in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) posi-
tion].
WARM THE ENGINE UP
Due to the higher idle speeds when the en-
gine is cold, extra caution must be taken when
shifting the selector lever into the driving po-
sition immediately after starting the engine.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Depress the footbrake pedal and, once the
vehicle stops, move the selector lever into the
P (Park) position, pull the handbrake lever and
release the footbrake pedal.
Starting the vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot-
brake pedal before shifting the selector lever from
P (Park) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or Manual shift
mode.
