The three-way catalystisan emission control
device installed inthe exhaust system.Exhaust
gases inthe three-way catalystareburned at
high temperatures tohelp reduce pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gasand theexhaust
system arevery hot.Keep people,
animals orflammable materials
away fromtheexhaust systemcom-
ponents.
. Donot stop orpark thevehicle over
flammable materialssuchasdry
grass, wastepaperorrags. They
may ignite andcause afire.
CAUTION
. Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline willser-
iously reduce thethree-way
catalyst's abilitytohelp reduce ex- haust
pollutants.
. Keep yourengine tunedup.Mal-
functions inthe ignition, fuelinjec-
tion, orelectrical systemscancause
overrich fuelflow intothethree-way
catalyst, causingitto overheat. Do
not keep driving ifthe engine mis-
fires, orifnoticeable lossofperfor-
mance orother unusual operating
conditions aredetected. Havethe
vehicle inspected promptlybya
NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving withanextremely low
fuel level. Running outoffuel could
cause theengine tomisfire, dama-
ging thethree-way catalyst.
. Donot race theengine whilewarm-
ing itup.
. Do not push ortow your vehicle to
start theengine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
GUID-70D EE521-236F-4 87A-BFBD-1A02741B 58A6
Each tire,including thespare (ifprovided) ,
should bechecked monthlywhencoldand
inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer onthe vehicle
placard ortire inflation pressure label.(Ifyour vehicle
hastires ofadifferent sizethan thesize
indicated onthe vehicle placard ortire inflation
pressure label,youshould determine theproper
tire inflation pressure forthose tires.)
As anadded safetyfeature, yourvehicle has
been equipped withaTire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) thatilluminates alow tire
pressure telltalewhenoneormore ofyour tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,when
the low tirepressure telltaleilluminates, you
should stopandcheck yourtiresassoon as
possible, andinflate themtothe proper pres-
sure. Driving onasignificantly under-inflated tire
causes thetiretooverheat andcanlead totire
failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fueleffi-
ciency andtiretread life,and may affect the
vehicle's handlingandstopping ability.
Please notethattheTPMS isnot asubstitute for
proper tiremaintenance, anditis the driver's
responsibility tomaintain correcttirepressure,
even ifunder-inflation hasnotreached thelevel
to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS lowtire
pressure telltale.
Y our vehicle hasalso been equipped witha
TPMS malfunction indicatortoindicate whenthe
system isnot operating properly.The TPMS
malfunction indicatoriscombined withthelow
tire pressure telltale.Whenthesystem detects a
malfunction, thetelltale willflash forapproxi-

passenger car.The vehicle isnot
designed forcornering atthe same
speeds asconventional passenger
cars. Failure tooperate thisvehicle
correctly couldresult inloss of
control and/orarollover accident.
. Always usetires ofthe same type,
size, brand, construction (bias,bias-
belted orradial) ,and tread pattern
on allfour wheels. Installtraction
devices onthe front wheels when
driving onslippery roadsanddrive
carefully.
. Besure tocheck thebrakes imme-
diately afterdriving inmud orwater.
See ªBrake systemº (P.5-35) forwet
brakes.
. Avoid parking yourvehicle onsteep
hills. Ifyou getout ofthe vehicle
and itrolls forward, backward or
sideways, youcould beinjured.
. Whenever youdrive off-road
through sand,mudorwater asdeep
as the wheel hub,more frequent
maintenance mayberequired. See
the maintenance informationinthe
ªNISSAN ServiceandMaintenance
Guideº . .
Spinning thefront wheels onslip-
pery surfaces maycause theAWD
warning lighttoflash andtheAWD
system toautomatically switchfrom
the AWD mode tothe 2WD mode.
This could reduce traction. Beespe-
cially careful whentowing atrailer
(AWD model) .

WARNING
Do not operate thepush-button ignition
switch whiledriving thevehicle except
in an emergency. (Theengine willstop
when theignition switchispushed 3
consecutive timesorthe ignition switch
is pushed andheld formore than2
seconds.) Ifthe engine stopswhilethe
vehicle isbeing driven, thiscould lead
to acrash andserious injury.
Before operating thepush-button ignition

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-

. Never getunder thevehicle whileit
is supported onlybyajack. Ifitis
necessary towork under thevehicle,
support itwith safety stands.
. Keep smoking materials, flameand
sparks awayfromfueltank andthe
battery.
. The fuel filter orfuel lines should be
serviced byaNISSAN dealerbe-
cause thefuel lines areunder high
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

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

could becaused byhigh pressure
fluid escaping fromtheradiator.
See precautions inªIf your vehicle

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

CAUTION
. Never useanycooling systemad-
ditives suchasradiator sealer.Ad-
ditives mayclog thecooling system
and cause damage tothe engine,

tem.
. When adding orreplacing coolant,
be sure touse only Genuine

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-
