WARNING
Do not allow children toplay with the
seat belts. Mostseating positions are
equipped withAutomatic LockingRe-
tractor (ALR)mode seatbelts. Ifthe
seat beltbecomes wrappedarounda
child's neckwiththeALR mode acti-
vated, thechild canbeseriously injured
or killed ifthe seat beltretracts and
becomes tight.Thiscanoccur evenif
the vehicle isparked. Unbuckle theseat
belt torelease thechild. Ifthe seat belt
can notbeunbuckled orisalready
unbuckled, releasethechild bycutting
the seat beltwith asuitable tool(such
as aknife orscissors) torelease the
seat belt.
Children needadults tohelp protect them.
They need tobe properly restrained.
In addition tothe general information inthis
manual, childsafety information isavailable from
many othersources, including doctors,teachers,
government trafficsafety offices, andcommunity
organizations. Everychildisdifferent, sobe sure
to learn thebest waytotransport yourchild.
There arethree basic types ofchild restraint systems:
. Rear-facing childrestraint
. Forward-facing childrestraint
. Booster seat
The proper restraint depends onthe child's size.
Generally ,infants uptoabout 1year andless
than 20lbs (9kg) should beplaced inrear-
facing childrestraints. Forward-facing child
restraints areavailable forchildren whooutgrow
rear-facing childrestraints andareatleast 1
year old.Booster seatsareused tohelp position
a vehicle lap/shoulder beltonachild whocanno
longer useaforward-facing childrestraint.
WARNING
Infants andchildren needspecial pro-
tection. Thevehicle's seatbelts maynot
fit them properly. Theshoulder beltmay
come tooclose tothe face orneck. The
lap belt may notfitover their small hip
bones. Inan accident, animproperly
fitting seatbeltcould cause serious or
fatal injury. Always useappropriate
child restraints.
All U.S. states andCanadian provinces or
territories requiretheuse ofapproved child
restraints forinfants andsmall children. See

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

ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
GUID-AD93 4732-3AE5-459A-B8C3 -7A014C0C24D9
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.
Ð For detailed information, see
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.

Snow tires
GUID-7DBD9 178-687B-4889-BA79 -417F594D0 842
If snow tiresareneeded, itis necessary toselect
tires equivalent insize andload rating tothe

adversely affectthesafety andhandling ofyour
vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireswillhave lower speed
ratings thanfactory equipped tiresandmay not match
thepotential maximum vehiclespeed.
Never exceed themaximum speedratingofthe

If you install snowtires,theymust bethe same
size, brand, construction andtread pattern onall
four wheels.
For additional tractiononicy roads, studded
tires maybeused. However, someU.S.states
and Canadian provinces prohibittheiruse.
Check local,stateandprovincial lawsbefore

TIRE CHAINS
GUID-74 141916-76 68-4C78-8B 9E-6B18B49D3DE7
Use oftire chains maybeprohibited according

manufacturer's suggestions.Useonly SAE
Class Schains. ClassªSºchains areused on
vehicles withrestricted tiretovehicle clearance.
V ehicles thatcanuseClass ªSºchains are
designed tomeet theSAE standard minimum
clearances betweenthetireand theclosest

to accommodate theuse ofawinter traction
device (tirechains orcables) .The minimum clearances
aredetermined usingthefactory
