CARGO AREA STORAGE BIN
To access the floor storage area, push down1
to raise the handle, then pull up on the handle to
lift the luggage board.
ROOF RACK
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are avail-
able through your NISSAN dealer. Contact an
NISSAN dealer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the cross
bars. Do not load more than 150 lb (68 kg) on the
cross bars. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the cross bars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof cross bars. Contact
an NISSAN dealer for crossbar or other equip-
ment information.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before apply-
ing load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the vehicle.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and
rear) . The GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (lo-
cated on the driver’s door pillar) . For additional
information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” in the “Technical
and customer information” section of this manual.
WARNING
●Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.
●Heavy loading of the cross bars has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
●Roof rack cross bars should be evenly
distributed.
●Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross
bars load.

3.Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
●Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load
●Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag
●Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling load
●Turn off air conditioning when it is not
necessary
4.Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
●Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel efficiency
due to reduced aerodynamic drag
●Maintaining a safe following distance be-
hind other vehicles reduces unnecessary
braking
●Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes
●Select a gear range suitable to road con-
ditions●Frequent short-distance driving can re-
duce fuel economy
5.Use Cruise Control
●Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed
●Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on flat
terrains
6.Plan for the Shortest Route
●Utilize a map or navigation system to de-
termine the best route to save time
7.Avoid Idling
●Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions
8.Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
●Automated passes permit drivers to use
special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting
9.Winter Warm Up
●Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel
economy
●Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-tively circulate the engine oil before driv-
ing
●Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating
temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling
●Park your vehicle in moderate ambient
temperatures when possible
10.Keeping your Vehicle Cool
●Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possible
●When entering a hot vehicle, opening the
windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system
11.Cargo
●Avoid transporting unnecessary luggage
in the vehicle
●Avoid carrying luggage in the roof rack
which can increase aerodynamic drag
12.Break-in
●your vehicle may need a break-in period
for more than 4000 miles to improve the
fuel economy
●Avoid measuring fuel economy within ini-
tial 1200 miles
