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

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
switch, besure tomove theshift lever tothe P

1. Apply theparking brake.
2. Move theshift lever tothe P(Park) orN
(Neutral) position.(Pisrecommended.)
The starter isdesigned nottooperate unless
the shift lever isin either ofthe above
positions.
Manual Transmission (MT)models:
Move theshift lever tothe N(Neutral)
position. Depresstheclutch pedalfullyto
the floor.
The starter isdesigned nottooperate unless
the clutch pedalisfully depressed.
The Intelligent Keymust becarried
when operating theignition switch.
3. Push theignition switchtothe ON position.
Depress thebrake pedal(CVTmodels) or
the clutch pedal(MTmodels) andpush the
ignition switchtostart theengine.
T o start theengine immediately ,push and
release theignition switchwhiledepressing
the brake pedal withtheignition switchin
any position.
.
If the engine isvery hard tostart in
extremely coldweather orwhen restart-
ing, depress theaccelerator pedalalittle
(approximately 1/3tothe floor) andwhile
holding, cranktheengine. Release the
accelerator pedalwhentheengine starts.
.
If the engine isvery hard tostart because
it is flooded, depresstheaccelerator
pedal allthe way tothe floor andhold it.
Push theignition switchtothe ON
position tostart cranking theengine.
After 5or 6seconds, stopcranking by
pushing theignition switchtoOFF .After
cranking theengine, releasetheaccel-
erator pedal. Cranktheengine withyour
foot offthe accelerator pedalby
depressing thebrake pedal andpushing
the push-button ignitionswitchtostart
the engine. Ifthe engine starts,butfails
to run, repeat theabove procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate thestarter formore
than 15seconds atatime. Ifthe engine
does notstart, pushtheignition switch
to OFF andwait 10seconds before
cranking again,otherwise thestarter
could bedamaged.
4. Warm-up
Allow theengine toidle foratleast 30
seconds afterstarting. Donot race the
engine whilewarming itup. Drive at
moderate speedforashort distance first, especially
incold weather. Incold weather,
keep theengine running foraminimum of2-
3 minutes beforeshutting itoff. Starting and
stopping theengine overashort period of
time maymake thevehicle moredifficult to
start.
When racing theengine upto4,000 rpmor
more under noload condition, theengine
will enter thefuel cutmode.
5. To stop theengine, movetheshift lever to
the P(Park) position (CVTmodels) ormove
the shift lever tothe N(Neutral) position(MT
models) ,and push theignition switchtothe
OFF position.
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.

1. After starting theengine, fullydepress the
foot brake pedalbefore moving theshift
lever outofthe P(Park) position.
This CVTisdesigned sothat thefoot
brake pedalmustbedepressed before
shifting fromP(Park) toany driving
position whiletheignition switchisin

The shift lever cannot bemoved outof
the P(Park) position andinto anyof
the other positions ifthe ignition
switch isplaced inthe LOCK ,OFF or
ACC position orifthe key isremoved. 2.
Keep thefoot brake pedaldepressed, push
the shift lever button andmove theshift lever
to adriving position.
3. Release theparking brakeandfoot brake
pedal, andthen gradually startthevehicle in
motion.
WARNING
. Do not depress theaccelerator
pedal whileshifting fromP(Park)
or N(Neutral) toR(Reverse) ,D
(Drive) ,or manual shiftmode (ifso
equipped) .Always depress the
brake pedaluntilshifting iscom-
pleted. Failure todo socould cause
you tolose control andhave an
accident.
. Cold engine idlespeed ishigh, so
use caution whenshifting intoa
forward orreverse gearbefore the
engine haswarmed up.
. Never shifttoP(Park) orR(Re-
verse) whilevehicle ismoving. Fail-
ure todo socould cause youtolose
control andhave anaccident.
CAUTION
. Except inan emergency, donot shift
to the N(Neutral) positionwhile
driving. Coasting withthetransmis-
sion inthe N(Neutral) positionmay
cause serious damage tothe trans-
mission.
. When stopping thevehicle onan
uphill grade, donot hold thevehicle
by depressing theaccelerator pedal.
The foot brake should beused for
this purpose.
. Do not downshift abruptlyonslip-
pery roads. Thismay cause aloss of
control.

Follow theseeasy-to-use FuelEfficient Driving
Tips tohelp youachieve themost fueleconomy
from yourvehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator andbrake pedal
application.
.
Avoid rapidstarts andstops.
.
Use smooth, gentleaccelerator and
brake application wheneverpossible.
.
Maintain constant speedwhilecommut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.
Look ahead totry and anticipate and
minimize stops.
.
Synchronizing yourspeed withtraffic
lights allows youtoreduce yournumber
of stops.
.
Maintaining asteady speedcanminimize
red light stops andimprove fueleffi-
ciency .
3. Use airconditioning (A/C)athigher vehicle
speeds.
.
Below 40MPH (64km/h) ,it is more
efficient toopen windows tocool the
vehicle duetoreduced engineload.
.
Above 40MPH (64km/h) ,it is more
efficient touse A/C tocool thevehicle
due toincreased aerodynamic drag.
.
Recirculating thecool airinthe cabin
when theA/C ison reduces coolingload.
4. Drive ateconomical speedsanddistances.
.
Observing thespeed limitandnotex-
ceeding 60MPH (97km/h) (where
legally allowed) canimprove fueleffi-
ciency duetoreduced aerodynamic
drag.
.
Maintaining asafe following distance
behind othervehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
.
Safely monitoring traffictoanticipate
changes inspeed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
.
Select agear range suitable toroad
conditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.
Using cruise control duringhighway
driving helpsmaintain asteady speed.
.
Cruise control isparticularly effectivein
providing fuelsavings whendriving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan forthe shortest route.
.
Utilize amap ornavigation systemto
determine thebest route tosave time.
7. Avoid idling.
.
Shutting offyour engine whensafefor
stops exceeding 30-60seconds saves fuel
and reduces emissions.
8. Buy anautomated passfortoll roads.
.
Automated passespermitdrivers touse
special lanestomaintain cruisingspeed
through thetolland avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter warmup.
.
Limit idling timetominimize impacttofuel
economy .
.
V ehicles typically neednomore than30
seconds ofidling atstart-up toeffectively
circulate theengine oilbefore driving.
.
Y our vehicle willreach itsideal operating
temperature morequickly whiledriving
versus idling.
10. Keeping yourvehicle cool.
.
Park yourvehicle inacovered parking
area orinthe shade whenever possible.
.
When entering ahot vehicle, opening the
windows willhelp toreduce theinside
temperature faster,resulting inreduced
demand onyour A/Csystem.
