deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob.
ANTI-FREEZEGUID-2773CB71-40A2-443B-9552-B7F45AAB30D8In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F (08C) ,
check the anti-freeze to assure proper winter
protection. For additional information, see “En-
gine cooling system” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.
BATTERYS35-D-110201-690C952E-7BC1-479E-B70E-6C8A62F3BCC3If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. For additional information,
see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATERGUID-8A3AE603-5D83-49FC-9E8F-A09867045DADIf the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system, including the
engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle.
For details, see “Engine cooling system” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
TIRE EQUIPMENTS35-D-110201-61BC6CE8-E002-4E5F-AC61-F13F41A296A1SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide
superior performance on dry pavement. How-
ever, the performance of these tires will be
substantially reduced in snowy and icy condi-
tions. If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy
roads, NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels.
Consult a NISSAN dealer for the tire type, size,
speed rating and availability information.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded
tires may be used. However, some U.S. states
and Canadian provinces prohibit their use.
Check local, state and provincial laws before
installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see “Tire
chains” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) modelGUID-EE61DD03-84FE-4464-93B4-F693BED61CE7If you install snow tires, they must also be the
same size, brand, construction and tread pattern
on all four wheels.
