while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor displays
various views of the position of the vehicle. NOTE
At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion but a reminder to be cautious.
Available views:
Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.
Rear view
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
WARNING
The Around View Monitor is intended for day
time use. Do not use the system in bad light
conditions.
The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. Always visually check to be
sure that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.

on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive course lines will move depending on
how much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neu-
tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH).
WARNING
The distance between objects viewed in the
rear view differs from actual distance because
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
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle which helps to confirm the vehicle position.
The vehicle icon

hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-
hicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover are indi-
cated in black.
At first operation, the corner lines
j2 on all four cor-
ners of the vehicle icon are blinking yellow for about
3 seconds. The four corners

of the vehicle icon as a reminder to be cautious.
This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the

The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent un-
necessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions,
and noise during a journey:
When the vehicle comes to rest the engine is
automatically stopped*.
The engine is then automatically restarted before
you are ready to drive away**.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine must be
stopped and ignition turned OFF. Lock the ve-
hicle as normal. Turning the ignition OFF will shut
down all electrical systems. Failure to do this may
result in a flat battery.
NORMAL OPERATION
The Stop/Start System has stopped the engine and
will automatically restart the engine. The Stop/Start
symbol
j1 is shown in the vehicle information dis-
play.
*The Stop/Start System will
automatically stop the engine when all
the following conditions are valid:
– The gearshift lever is in Neutral position.
– The clutch pedal is fully released.
– The vehicle speed is below about 2 km/h (1 MPH).
– The driver’s seat belt is buckled.
– The driver’s door is closed.
NOTE
The following conditions must also be satisfied
before the engine is automatically stopped. If the
engine does not stop this does not indicate a
fault with the system:
– The outside air temperature is above about 5ºC.
– The engine coolant temperature is at normal operating levels.
– The vehicle has driven some distance since engine start.
– The battery voltage and temperature are within normal levels.
– The vehicle bonnet is closed.
– The steering wheel is not being turned.
– The front and/or rear screen defoggers are turned OFF.
**When the Stop/Start System symbol
(1) is displayed the engine starts running
automatically under at least one of the
following conditions:
– The clutch pedal is depressed.
– The brake pedal is repeatedly pressed (to main-tain vehicle braking performance).
– The battery voltage becomes low (due to electri- cal load from other vehicle systems like head-
lights, heaters, etc., or auxiliary devices con-
nected to the 12 volt socket inside the vehicle).
– The front and/or rear screen defogger is turned on.
– The vehicle speed is above about 2 km/h (1 MPH).
NOTE
The following conditions will prevent the Stop/
Start System automatically restarting the engine.
Starting the engine by turning the ignition switch
is then necessary:
– The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, or driver’s door is open.
– The bonnet is open.
The Stop/Start System is always engaged at the
start of a journey (once the engine has been started).
The engine is automatically stopped and restarted

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.

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,

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 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
