times, andavoid driving whentired.Never drive
when under theinfluence ofalcohol ordrugs
(including prescription orover-the-counter
drugs which maycause drowsiness) .Always
wear yourseatbeltasoutlined inªSeat beltsº
(P .1-10) ofthis manual, andalso instruct your
passengers todo so.
Seat belts helpreduce therisk ofinjury in
collisions androllovers. Inarollover crash,an
unbelted orimproperly beltedperson is
significantly morelikely tobe injured or

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
GUID-0F 533FD6- C994-442E-8 65A-E45B70DAFF19
If the right sideorleft side wheels leavetheroad
surface, maintain controlofthe vehicle by
following theprocedure below.Please notethat
this procedure isonly ageneral guide.The
vehicle mustbedriven asappropriate basedon
the conditions ofthe vehicle, roadandtraffic.
1. Remain calmanddonot overreact.
2. Donot apply thebrakes.
3. Maintain afirm grip onthe steering wheel
with both hands andtrytohold astraight
course.
4. When appropriate, slowlyrelease theaccel-
erator pedaltogradually slowthevehicle. 5.
Ifthere isnothing inthe way,steer the
vehicle tofollow theroad while thevehicle
speed isreduced. Donot attempt todrive
the vehicle backontotheroad surface until
vehicle speedisreduced.
6. When itis safe todo so, gradually turnthe
steering wheeluntilboth tiresreturn tothe
road surface. Whenalltires areonthe road
surface, steerthevehicle tostay inthe
appropriate drivinglane.

RAPID AIRPRESSURE LOSS
GUID-127 1B230-18 FB-41E6-A8 08-B468E9DD3B83
Rapid airpressure lossoraªblow-outº can
occur ifthe tire ispunctured orisdamaged due
to hitting acurb orpothole. Rapidairpressure
loss canalso becaused bydriving onunder-
inflated tires.
Rapid airpressure losscanaffect thehandling
and stability ofthe vehicle, especially athighway
speeds.
Help prevent rapidairpressure lossbymain-
taining thecorrect airpressure andvisually
inspect thetires forwear anddamage. See
ªWheels andtiresº (P.8-31) ofthis manual. If
atire rapidly losesairpressure orªblows-outº
while driving maintain controlofthe vehicle by
following theprocedure below.Please notethat
this procedure isonly ageneral guide.The
vehicle mustbedriven asappropriate basedon
the conditions ofthe vehicle, roadandtraffic.
WARNING
The following actionscanincrease the
chance oflosing control ofthe vehicle if
there isasudden lossoftire air
pressure. Losingcontrol ofthe vehicle
may cause acollision andresult in
personal injury.
. The vehicle generally movesorpulls
in the direction ofthe flat tire.
. Do not rapidly applythebrakes.
. Do not rapidly release theaccelera-
tor pedal.
. Do not rapidly turnthesteering
wheel.
1. Remain calmanddonot overreact.

. Ifyour engine stallsoryou cannot
make itto the top ofasteep hill,
never attempt toturn around. Your
vehicle couldtiporroll over. Always
back straight downinR(Reverse)
range. Neverbackdown inN(Neu-
tral) ,using onlythebrake, asthis
could cause lossofcontrol.
. Heavy braking goingdownahill
could cause yourbrakes tooverheat
and fade, resulting inloss ofcontrol
and anaccident. Applybrakes
lightly andusealow range to
control yourspeed.
. Unsecured cargocanbethrown
around whendriving overrough
terrain. Properly secureallcargo
so itwill notbethrown forward
and cause injurytoyou oryour
passengers.
. To avoid raising thecenter ofgravity
excessively, donot exceed therated
capacity ofthe roof rack (ifso
equipped) andevenly distribute the
load. Secure heavyloadsinthe
cargo areaasfar forward andas
low aspossible. Donot equip the
vehicle withtires larger thanspeci-
fied inthis manual. Thiscould cause your
vehicle toroll over.
. Do not grip theinside orspokes of
the steering wheelwhendriving off-
road. Thesteering wheelcould
move suddenly andinjure your
hands. Instead drivewithyour fin-
gers andthumbs onthe outside of
the rim.
. Before operating thevehicle, ensure
that thedriver andallpassengers
have theirseatbelts fastened.
. Always drivewiththefloor mats in
place asthe floor maybecame hot.
. Lower yourspeed whenencounter-
ing strong crosswinds. Withahigher
center ofgravity, yourNISSAN is
more affected bystrong sidewinds.
Slower speeds ensurebettervehicle
control.
. Do not drive beyond theperfor-
mance capability ofthe tires, even
with AWD engaged.
. For AWD equipped vehicles,donot
attempt toraise twowheels offthe
ground andshift thetransmission to
any drive orreverse position with
the engine running. Doingsomay
result indrivetrain damageorun- expected
vehiclemovement which
could result inserious vehicleda-
mage orpersonal injury.
. Do not attempt totest anAWD
equipped vehicleona2-wheel dy-
namometer (suchasthe dynam-
ometers usedbysome states for
emissions testing),or similar equip-
ment evenifthe other twowheels
are raised offthe ground. Makesure
you inform testfacility personnel
that your vehicle isequipped with
AWD before itis placed ona
dynamometer. Usingthewrong test
equipment mayresult indrivetrain
damage orunexpected vehicle
movement whichcouldresult in
serious vehicledamage orpersonal
injury.
. When awheel isoff the ground due
to an unlevel surface, donot spin
the wheel excessively (AWDmodel) .
. Accelerating quickly,sharpsteering
maneuvers orsudden braking may
cause lossofcontrol.
. Ifat all possible, avoidsharp turning
maneuvers, particularlyathigh
speeds. Your vehicle hasahigher

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

If you stop driving withtheengine idlingand
wait until thewarning lightstops blinking,
the AWD returns tothe AWD-V orAWD

WARNING
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)
is asophisticated device,butit
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless ordangerous driving
techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances onslippery sur-
faces willbelonger thanonnormal surfaces
evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger on
rough, gravelorsnow covered
roads, orifyou areusing tirechains.
Always maintain asafe distance
from thevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible
for safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso
affect braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install the
specified sizeoftires onallfour
wheels.
Ð When installing aspare tire,
make surethatitis the proper
size andtype asspecified onthe
Tire andLoading Information
label. SeeªTire andLoading
Information labelº(P.9-12) of
this manual.

ª Wheels andtiresº (P.8-31) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls
the brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hard
braking orwhen braking onslippery surfaces.
The system detects therotation speedateach wheel
andvaries thebrake fluidpressure to
prevent eachwheel fromlocking andsliding. By
preventing eachwheel fromlocking, thesystem
helps thedriver maintain steeringcontroland
helps tominimize swerving andspinning on
slippery surfaces.
