side. To lock, close the fuel filler lid securely.
FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Tighten the
cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are heard.
Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder as illustrated
while refuelling.
WARNING
•Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.
•Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap half
a turn and wait for any hissing sound to stop,
in order to prevent fuel from spraying out and
causing possible personal injury.
•Use only a NISSAN fuel filler cap or exact
equivalent as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation ofthe fuel system and emission control system.
An incorrect cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury.
CAUTION
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away
with water to avoid paint damage.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep windows closed while the air conditioner is
operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To replace the fil-
ter, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily while operating the heater or air condition-
ing system.

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is a better view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-
wheel drive (2WD) vehicles any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. If possible, avoid sharp
turns or abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high
speeds. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover accident an
unbelted person is significantly more likely to be
injured than a person who is wearing a seat belt.NISSAN Blue Citizenship
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system. In the converter,
exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. While the engine is running, keep
people or flammable materials away from the
exhaust pipe.
•Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags, as they may burn easily.
•When parking, ensure that people or flam-
mable materials are kept away from the ex-
haust pipe.
TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE
CAUTION
•Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically
the recommended type. For details, see “Ca-
pacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
•Do not use leaded petrol. Leaded petrol will
seriously damage three-way catalyst.
Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems can cause over-rich fuel flow into the
converter, causing it to overheat.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
•Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or
if noticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected. Have
the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
•Do not race the engine while warming it up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.

The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and cooling of its rotating components. The tur-
bocharger turbine turns at extremely high speeds
and it can reach an extremely high temperature. It is
essential to maintain a flow of clean oil through the
turbocharger system. A sudden interruption to the
oil supply may cause a malfunction in the turbo-
charger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-
lowing maintenance procedure:
CAUTION
•Change the engine oil of the turbo-charged
diesel engine as prescribed. See the sepa-
rately provided Warranty Information & Main-
tenance Booklet for additional information.
•Use only the recommended engine oil. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants” in the “9. Technical information”
section.
•If the engine has been operating at high rpm
for an extended period of time, let it idle for a
few minutes prior to shutdown.
•Do not accelerate the engine to high rpm im-
mediately after starting it.Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-
sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you
should be the one who knows best how to drive in
the given circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is
cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-
ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after
starting the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
Loads, their distribution and the attachment of equip-
ment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers, etc.)
will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle
considerably. Driving style and speed must be ad-
justed accordingly.
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
•Avoid starting off, accelerating and stopping sud-
denly.
•Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
•Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in
front.
•When water covers the road surface in puddles,
small streams, etc, REDUCE SPEED to prevent
aquaplaning which will cause skidding and loss
of control. Worn tyres increase this risk.
DRIVING UNDER WINTER
CONDITIONS
•Drive safely.
•Avoid starting off, accelerating or stopping sud-
denly.
•Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
•Avoid sudden steering actions.
•Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in
front.
