5. Visually check drive belts for damage orlooseness. Also check if the cooling fan is
running. The radiator hoses and radiator
should not leak water. If coolant is leaking,
the water pump belt is missing or loose, or
the cooling fan does not run, stop the en-
gine.
WARNING
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair,
jewelry or clothing to come into contact
with, or get caught in, engine belts or the
engine cooling fan. The engine cooling fan
can start at any time.
6. After the engine cools down, check the cool- ant level in the engine coolant reservoir tank
with the engine running. Add coolant to the
engine coolant reservoir tank if necessary.
Have your vehicle repaired at a NISSAN
dealer. Incorrect towing equipment could damage your
vehicle. Towing instructions are available from a
NISSAN dealer. Local service operators are gen-
erally familiar with the applicable laws and proce-
dures for towing. To assure proper towing and to
prevent accidental damage to your vehicle,
NISSAN recommends having a service operator
tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the ser-
vice operator carefully read the following precau-
tions:
WARNING
●
Never ride in a vehicle that is being
towed.
● Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by a tow truck.
CAUTION
● When towing, make sure that the trans-
mission, axles, steering system and
powertrain are in working condition. If
any of these conditions apply, dollies or
a flatbed tow truck must be used.
● Always attach safety chains before
towing.
TOWING RECOMMENDED BY
NISSAN
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed
with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
place the vehicle on a flat bed truck as illustrated.
LCE2245
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
6-12In case of emergency
The air cleaner filter should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
log shown in the “NISSAN Service and Mainte-
nance Guide.”
To remove the air cleaner filter:
1Unlatch the clips and move the air cleaner
cover upward.
2. Remove the air cleaner filter.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner filter hous- ing and the cover with a damp cloth. NOTE:
After installing a new air cleaner filter,
make sure the air cleaner cover is seated in
the housing and latch the clips.
WARNING
●
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or oth-
ers to be burned. The air cleaner not
only cleans the air, it stops the flame if
the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and
the engine backfires, you could be
burned. Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed, and be careful when working
on the engine with the air cleaner
removed.
● Never pour fuel into the throttle body or
attempt to start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. Doing so could result
in serious injury.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER (if so
equipped)
The in-cabin microfilter restricts the entry of air-
borne dust and pollen particles and reduces
some objectionable outside odors. The filter is
located behind the glove box. For additional in-
formation, refer to the “NISSAN Service and
Maintenance Guide” for change intervals.
To replace the filter, perform the following proce-
dure:
1. Open the glove box.
2. Remove the seven screws indicated above.

Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-21
The TPMS warning lightflashes con-
tinuously when the system is relearning the
tire positions.
3. When the relearn procedure is successfully completed:
– The TPMS light
illuminates for
3 seconds
– A chime sounds three times
4. Adjust the tire pressures to the cold tire pressure specification shown on the tire and
loading information label. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Checking tire pressure”
in this section and “Tire and loading informa-
tion label” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
– If the tires pressures are correct, the TPMS light turns off.
– If the tires are not inflated to the correct cold tire pressure, the TPMS warning
light illuminates. Recheck the tire pres-
sures and adjust as necessary.
If the relearn procedure does not work,
check the following and retry the process:
● If the relearn procedure is stopped before
completion, the new tire positions are not
learned. Redo the complete relearn proce-
dure to reset the tire positions. ●
You must select “RESET TPMS →RE-
LEARN” from the “SETTINGS” menu to
complete the relearn procedure. Redo the
complete relearn procedure to reset the tire
positions. Select the TPMS resetting menu,
then continue the remaining registration pro-
cedure.
● Adjust the tire pressures to the relearn pres-
sures before selecting the TPMS resetting
menu on the display. Redo the complete
relearn procedure to reset the tire positions.
● If the tire pressure cannot be reduced at
least 10 psi (69 kPa) to adjust them to the
relearn pressures, inflate the tires to at least
10 psi (69 kPa) above the specified pres-
sures. Redo the complete relearn procedure
starting with step 1.
● Devices which emit electronic interference
should be turned off before starting the re-
learn procedure. The interference may pre-
vent the system from learning the new tire
positions. Turn off or remove sources of
electrical interference. If necessary, move
the vehicle to another location, then redo the
complete relearn procedure to reset the tire
positions. ●
If you have retried the procedure several
times and the relearn procedure is not suc-
cessfully completed, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
● Use an air pump that is capable of inflating
the tires to the required pressure specifica-
tions. The air pump must be capable of in-
flating a tire at least 10 psi (69 kPa) in
30 seconds.
● If the reset TPMS function is unintentionally
selected, place the ignition switch in the
OFF position then to the ON position to end
the relearn procedure.
● If the vehicle is not recognizing the new tire
pressure levels, move the vehicle forward
40 in (1 m) . Place the ignition switch in the
OFF position then to the ON position. Redo
the relearn procedure beginning at step 1.
Make sure that the tire pressures are in-
creased or decreased at least 10 psi
(69 kPa) .
● When vehicle is in the relearn mode, the
TPMS will not warn of low tire pressures or
detect malfunctions.
● If tire pressure is not set to the correct pres-
sure, restart the procedure again.
8-42Maintenance and do-it-yourself
●Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-
tently becoming unlatched.
● Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
● Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
● Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
● When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and
back up slowly. If possible, have someone
guide you when you are backing up.
Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not
recommended; however, if you must do so:
CAUTION
If you move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position before blocking the wheels and
applying the parking brake, transmission
damage could occur. 1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
2. Have someone place blocks on the downhill
side of the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. After the wheel blocks are in place, slowly release the brake pedal until the blocks ab-
sorb the vehicle load.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Shift the transmission into P (Park) .
6. Turn off the engine.
To drive away: 1. Start the vehicle.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into gear.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are clear from the blocks.
6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks. ●
While going downhill, the weight of the
trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may dete-
riorate overall handling characteristics.
Therefore, to maintain adequate control, re-
duce your speed and shift to a lower gear.
Avoid long or repeated use of the brakes
when descending a hill, as this reduces their
effectiveness and could cause overheating.
Shifting to a lower gear instead provides
“engine braking” and reduces the need to
brake as frequently.
● If the engine coolant temperature rises to a
high temperature, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this owner’s manual.
● Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
circumstances.
● Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s first
500 miles (805 km) .
● For the first 500 miles (805 km) that you do
tow, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Have your vehicle serviced more often than
at intervals specified in the recommended
Maintenance Schedule in the “NISSAN Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide”.
