SUMMER tireshave atread designed toprovide
superior performance ondry pavement. How-
ever, theperformance ofthese tireswillbe
substantially reducedinsnowy andicycondi-
tions. Ifyou operate yourvehicle onsnowy oricy
roads, NISSAN recommends theuse ofMUD &
SNOW orALL SEASON tiresonallfour wheels.
Consult aNISSAN dealerforthe tiretype, size,
speed ratingandavailability information.
For additional tractiononicy roads, studded
tires maybeused. However, someU.S.states
and Canadian provinces prohibittheiruse.
Check local,stateandprovincial lawsbefore
installing studdedtires.
Skid andtraction capabilities ofstudded
snow tires,onwet ordry surfaces, maybe
poorer thanthatofnon-studded snow
tires.
Tire chains maybeused. Fordetails, seeªTire
chainsº (P.8-39) ofthis manual.

It is recommended thatthefollowing itemsbe
carried inthe vehicle duringwinter:
. Ascraper andstiff-bristled brushtoremove
ice and snow fromthewindows andwiper
blades.
. Asturdy ,flat board tobe placed underthe
jack togive itfirm support.
. Ashovel todig thevehicle outofsnow-

WARNING
. Wet ice(328F ,08C and freezing rain),
very cold snow orice can beslick
and very hard todrive on.The
vehicle willhave much lesstraction
or ªgripº undertheseconditions. Try
to avoid driving onwet iceuntil the
road issalted orsanded.
. Whatever thecondition, drivewith
caution. Accelerate andslow down
with care. Ifaccelerating ordown-
shifting toofast, thedrive wheels
will lose even more traction.

Windshield defroster:Checkthattheair
comes outofthe defroster outletsproperly and
in sufficient quantitywhenoperating theheater
or air conditioner.
Windshield wiperandwasher*: Checkthat
the wipers andwashers operateproperly and
that thewipers donot streak.
Under thehood andvehicle
GUID-597 AB0E2-6F94-48AA-BE D6-41A6FA4A8B49
The maintenance itemslistedhereshould be
checked periodically (forexample, eachtimeyou
check theengine oilorrefuel) .
Battery*: Checkthefluid level ineach cell.
It should bebetween theMAX andMIN lines.
V ehicles operated inhigh temperatures orunder
severe condition requirefrequent checksofthe
battery fluidlevel.
NO TE:
Care should betaken toavoid situations
that canlead topotential batterydischarge
and potential no-startconditions suchas:
1. Installation orextended useofelectro-
nic accessories thatconsume battery
power whentheengine isnot running
(Phone chargers, GPS,DVDplayers,
etc .)
2. Vehicle isnot driven regularly and/or
only driven shortdistances. In
these cases, thebattery mayneed tobe
charged tomaintain batteryhealth.
Brake andclutch fluidlevel*: Makesurethat
the brake andclutch fluidlevel isbetween the
MAX andMIN lines onthe reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:Checkthecoolant level
when theengine iscold.
Engine drivebelt*: Makesurethatthedrive
belt isnot frayed, worn,cracked oroily .
Engine oillevel*: Checkthelevel afterparking
the vehicle onalevel surface andturning offthe
engine. Wait more than10minutes forthe oilto
drain backintotheoilpan.
Exhaust system:Makesurethere arenoloose
supports, cracksorholes. Ifthe sound ofthe
exhaust seemsunusual orthere isasmell of
exhaust fumes,immediately havetheexhaust
system inspected byaNISSAN dealer.(See
ªPrecautions whenstarting anddrivingº (P.5-2)
for exhaust gas(carbon monoxide) .)
Fluid leaks: Checkunderthevehicle forfuel,
oil, water orother fluidleaks afterthevehicle has
been parked forawhile. Water dripping fromthe
air conditioner afteruseisnormal. Ifyou should
notice anyleaks orifgasoline fumesareevident,
check forthe cause andhave itcorrected
immediately . Radiator
andhoses: Checkthefront ofthe
radiator andclean offany dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., thatmay have accumulated. Makesurethe
hoses havenocracks, deformation, rotorloose
connections.
Underbody: Theunderbody isfrequently ex-
posed tocorrosive substances suchasthose
used onicy roads ortocontrol dust.Itis very
important toremove thesesubstances, other-
wise rustwillform onthe floor pan,frame, fuel
lines andaround theexhaust system.Atthe end
of winter, theunderbody shouldbethoroughly
flushed withplain water, beingcareful toclean
those areaswhere mudanddirtmay accumu-
late. Foradditional information, seeªCleaning
exteriorº (P.7-2) .
Windshield washerfluid*:Checkthatthere is
adequate fluidinthe reservoir.

exhaust gasestoescape.
. Never getunder thevehicle whileit
is supported onlybyajack. Ifitis
necessary towork under thevehicle,
support itwith safety stands.

pressure evenwhen theengine is
off.
CAUTION
. Do not work under thehood while
the engine ishot. Turn theengine
off and wait until itcools down.
. Avoid directcontact withused en-
gine oiland coolant. Improperly
disposed engineoil,and engine coolant
and/orothervehicle fluids
can damage theenvironment. Al-
ways conform tolocal regulations
for disposal ofvehicle fluid.
. Never leavetheengine orthe CVT
related component harnessesdis-
connected whiletheignition switch
is in the ONposition.
. Never connect ordisconnect the
battery orany transistorized com-
ponent whiletheignition switchis
in the ONposition.
. Your vehicle isequipped withan
automatic enginecooling fan.Itmay
come onatany time without warn-

The engine cooling systemisfilled atthe factory
with apre-diluted mixtureof50% Genuine
NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/Coolant (blue)and
50% water toprovide year-round anti-freeze
and coolant protection. Theanti-freeze solution
contains rustandcorrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling systemadditives arenot neces-
sary .
WARNING
. Never remove theradiator orcool-
ant reservoir capwhen theengine is
hot. Wait untiltheengine and
radiator cooldown. Serious burns
could becaused byhigh pressure
fluid escaping fromtheradiator.
See precautions inªIf your vehicle
overheatsº (P.6-10) ofthis manual.
. The radiator isequipped witha
pressure typeradiator cap.To pre-
vent engine damage, useonly a
genuine NISSANradiatorcap.
. Ifthe engine wasstopped soon
when theengine ishot, thecooling
fan may operate forapproximately
10 minutes aftertheengine was
stopped tocool thecomponents in
the engine compartment. Whenthe cooling
fanisoperating, besure
that hands orother items donot get
caught init.
CAUTION
. Never useanycooling systemad-
ditives suchasradiator sealer.Ad-
ditives mayclog thecooling system
and cause damage tothe engine,
transmission and/orcooling sys-
tem.
. When adding orreplacing coolant,
be sure touse only Genuine
NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) orequivalent. Genuine
NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) ispre-diluted toprovide
antifreeze protection to-348F
(-378C) .If additional freezeprotec-
tion isneeded duetoweather where
you operate yourvehicle, addGen-
uine NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/
Coolant (blue)concentrate follow-
ing the directions onthe container.
If an equivalent coolantotherthan
Genuine NISSANLongLifeAnti-
freeze/Coolant (blue)isused, fol- low
thecoolant manufacture's
instructions tomaintain minimum
antifreeze protection to-348F
(-378C) .The useofother types of
coolant solutions otherthanGenu-
ine NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/
Coolant (blue)orequivalent may
damage theengine cooling system.
. The lifeexpectancy ofthe factory-fill
coolant is105,000 miles(168,000
km) or7years. Mixing anyother
type ofcoolant otherthanGenuine
NISSAN LongLifeAntifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) ,including Genuine
