Starting anddriving
. Always usetires ofthe same type,size,brand,
construction (bias,bias-belted orradial) ,and
tread pattern onallfour wheels. Installtirechains
on the front wheels whendriving onslippery roads
and drive carefully .
. Besure tocheck thebrakes immediately after
driving inmud orwater. (SeeªBrake systemº (P.5-
57) .)
. Whenever youdrive off-road throughsand,mudor
water asdeep asthe wheel hub,more frequent
maintenance mayberequired. Fordetails, referto
ªMaintenance foroff-road drivingºinaseparate
maintenance booklet.
. Avoid parking yourvehicle onsteep hills.Ifyou get
out ofthe vehicle anditrolls forward, backward or
sideways, youcould beinjured.

CAUTION:
. Always usetires ofthe same size,brand,
construction (bias,bias-belted orradial) ,
and tread pattern onallfour wheels. Failure
to do somay result inacircumference
difference betweentiresonthe front and
rear axles which willcause excessive tire
wear andmay damage thetransmission,
transfer caseandrear differential gears.
. Only usespare tiresspecified foreach 4WD
model.
If excessive tirewear isfound, itis recommended that
all four tires bereplaced withtires ofthe same size,
brand, construction andtread pattern. Thetire
pressure andwheel alignment shouldalsobechecked
and corrected asnecessary .Contact aNISSAN
dealer.
Snow tires

Tire inflation pressure
T32A130827-0 2F5E13F-EB84-4678-B8E3-01C847020459
Check thepressures inall tires, including thespare,
with agauge periodically whenataservice station.
Adjust tothe specified pressureifnecessary .Tire
pressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Tire rotation
T32A130 827-BCA9A BF3-4A1A-42 5E-8276-807FAAD0A08E
NISSAN recommends thattires berotated every5,000
km (3,000 miles).Do not include thespare tireinthe
tire rotation.
Tire chain
T32A130 827-61205 7E2-0991-4 824-9088-F4 4BB593B9BC
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe front
wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
Do not drive withtirechains onpaved roadswhich are
clear ofsnow .Driving withchains insuch conditions
can cause damage tothe various mechanisms ofthe
vehicle duetosome overstress.

The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)/Electronic Stabi-
lity Program (ESP)system usesvarious sensors to
monitor driverinputs andvehicle motion. Undercertain
driving conditions, theVDC/ESP systemhelpsto
perform thefollowing functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheelslipon
one slipping drivewheel sopower istransferred to
a non slipping drivewheel onthe same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine outputto
reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle speed
(traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheelsand
engine outputtohelp thedriver maintain controlof
the vehicle inthe following conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow the
steered pathdespite increased steeringinput)
Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin duetocertain
road ordriving conditions) .
The VDC/ESP systemcanhelp thedriver tomaintain
control ofthe vehicle, butitcannot prevent lossof
vehicle control inall driving situations. When
theVDC/ESP systemoperates, theVDC/ESP
warning light
in the meter flashes sonote the
following:
. The road maybeslippery orthe system may
determine someaction isrequired tohelp the
vehicle onthe steered path.
. You may feelapulsation inthe brake pedal and
hear anoise orvibration fromunder thehood. This
is normal andindicates thattheVDC/ESP system
is working properly.
. Adjust yourspeed anddriving tothe road
conditions.
If a malfunction occursinthe system, theVDC/ESP
warning light
illuminates inthe meter. TheVDC/
ESP system automatically turnsoff.
The VDC/ESP OFFswitch isused toturn offthe VDC/
ESP system. TheVDC/ESP offindicator light
illuminates toindicate theVDC/ESP systemisoff.
When theVDC/ESP OFFswitch isused toturn offthe
system, theVDC/ESP systemstilloperates toprevent
one drive wheel fromslipping bytransferring powerto
a non slipping drivewheel. TheVDC/ESP warninglight
flashes ifthis occurs. Allother VDC/ESP
functions areoffand theVDC/ESP warninglight
will not flash. TheVDC/ESP systemisauto-
matically resettoon when theignition switchisplaced

If arisk ofaforward collision isdetected, theforward
emergency brakingsystemwillprovide thefirst
warning tothe driver byflashing theforward emer-

audible warning.
If the driver applies thebrakes quickly andforcefully
after thewarning, andtheforward emergency braking
system detects thatthere isstill thepossibility ofa
forward collision, thesystem willautomatically increase
the braking force.
If the driver doesnottake action, theforward
emergency brakingsystemissuesthesecond visual

releases theaccelerator pedal,thenthesystem applies
partial braking.
If the risk ofacollision becomes imminent, theforward

is performed bythe forward emergency braking
system.
Depending onvehicle speedanddistance tothe

conditions, thesystem mayhelp thedriver avoida
forward collision ormay help mitigate theconse-
quences ifa collision shouldonebeunavoidable.
If the driver ishandling thesteering wheel,accelerating

The automatic brakingwillcease underthefollowing conditions:
. When thesteering wheelisturned asfar as

. When theaccelerator pedalisdepressed.
. When thereisno longer avehicle detected ahead.
If the forward emergency brakingsystemhasstopped

approximately 2seconds beforethebrakes are
released.

following objects:
Ð Pedestrians, animalsorobstacles inthe
