WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Fail-
ure to do so could result in damage to the
charging system and cause personal
injury.1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their bat-
teries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shift lever to P (Park) . Switch off all unnecessary elec-
trical systems (lights, heater, air conditioner,
etc.) . 3. Ensure the vent caps are level and tight.
4. Remove the fuse/fusible link box and con-
nect jumper cables in the sequence illus-
trated (
A,B,C,D).
CAUTION
●Always connect positive () to positive
() and negative () to body ground (for
example, strut mounting bolt, engine
lift bracket, etc.) — not to the battery.
● Make sure the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine com-
partment and that the cable clamps do
not contact any other metal. 5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster ve- hicle at about 2,000 rpm, and start the en-
gine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, turn the key off and
wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying again.
7. After starting the engine, carefully discon- nect the negative cable and then the positive
cable.

DRAINING WATER
WARNING
To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire,
drain diesel fuel into an approved con-
tainer and safely dispose of in accordance
with local environmental regulations.
CAUTION
Continuing vehicle operation without
properly draining could cause serious
damage to the engine.1. Shut the engine off. 2. Place a large drain pan under the drain valve
A.
3. Turn the drain valve counterclockwise1/4
turn to open.
4. Drain the filter sump until clear fuel is visible. If draining the stage 1 fuel filter housing,
drain until fuel reduces to a trickle.
5. Turn the drain valve clockwise1/4 turn to
close.
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines,
and fuel rail contain very high-pressure
fuel. To reduce the possibility of personal
injury, never loosen any fittings while the
engine is running.
NOTE: ● It is not necessary to vent air from the
high-pressure fuel system before start-
ing the engine.
● Upon ignition on the electric lift pump
will run until the fuel system is primed
or 90 seconds, whichever comes first. Purge the air out of the fuel system after refilling a
completely empty fuel tank by the following pro-
cedure:
1. Turn the key ON for 90 seconds to prime the fuel system. After 90 seconds, crank the
engine for a maximum of 30 seconds or until
the engine starts. If the engine does not
start, repeat this step.
2. When the engine does start, it may operate erratically and with increased noise levels for
a few minutes. This is a normal condition as
air is being removed from the system.
NOTE:
It is possible for a warning or indicator light
to illuminate due to air entering the fuel
system. If this happens, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.

AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
Automatic regeneration occurs when the control
module detects the exhaust filter needs to be
cleaned. This is a normal process and will not
typically require any operator interaction.
If the automatic regeneration is not able to clean
the exhaust filter the vehicle information display
will display the following messages in order of
severity:● Exhaust Filter Overloaded See Owners
Manual for Drive Pattern
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Engine Power
Reduced See Owners Manual for
● Exhaust Filter Overloaded Immediate Ser-
vice Required
The instructions for these messages in the “Me-
ters and Gauges” section of this manual will
inform the driver to modify their driving pattern to
enable the automatic regeneration process.

WARNING
To avoid the risk of personal injury, be
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF or
LOCK position before servicing drive belt.
The engine could rotate unexpectedly.
1. Visually inspect the belt for signs of unusual wear, cuts, fraying or looseness. If the belt is
in poor condition or is loose, have it re-
placed. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
2. Have the belt checked regularly for condi- tion and tension in accordance with the
maintenance schedule found in the “Titan
Owner’s Manual”.

Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be re-
quired to be in what is called the “ready condi-
tion” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of
the emission control system.
If a powertrain system component is repaired or
the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be
reset to a “not ready” condition.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition” when it
is driven through certain driving patterns. Usually,
the ready condition can be obtained by ordinary
usage of the vehicle.
