ment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure
you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with
4WD before it is placed on a dy-
namometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury (4WD models) .
. When a wheel is off the ground due
to an unlevel surface, do not spin
the wheel excessively.
. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may
cause loss of control.
. If at all possible, avoid sharp turning
maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. Your vehicle has a higher
center of gravity than a conventional
passenger car. The vehicle is not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
cars. Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of
control and/or a rollover accident.
. Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction (bias, bias- belted or radial) , and tread pattern
on all four wheels. Install tire chains
on the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
. Be sure to check the brakes imme-
diately after driving in mud or water.
See “Brake system” (P.5-136) for wet
brakes.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle
and it rolls forward, backward or
sideways, you could be injured.
. Whenever you drive off-road
through sand, mud or water as deep
as the wheel hub, more frequent
maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance schedule shown in
the "9. Maintenance and schedules"
section.
. Spinning the rear wheels on slip-
pery surfaces may cause the 4WD
warning light to flash. The 4WD
system may also automatically
switch from the 4WD mode to the
2WD mode. This could reduce trac-
tion. Be especially careful when
towing a trailer (4WD models) .

OPERATING TIPS
.The images from a device that is connected
to the rear auxiliary input jacks cannot be
viewed on the front displays.
. It is not possible to display different video
files, such as DVD or video files in the USB
memory, on the front and rear displays at the
same time.
. It is not possible to play an audio file and a
video file in the same USB memory at the
same time.
Multiple source display
It is possible to play different sources on each
display. The following example shows how to
operate multiple sources.
It is also possible to set in the front display. For
more details, see “REAR DISPLAY settings”
(P.4-15) .
1. Display a video file in the front display by
selecting the DVD mode.
2. Set the rear display select switch on the remote controller to the L side and push the
POWER button. The left rear display will
turn on and the DVD screen will be
displayed.
(If “Auto Display” is set to ON, the display
will turn on automatically.) 3. Set the rear display select switch on the
remote controller to the R side and push the
POWER button. The right rear display will
turn on and the DVD screen will be
displayed.
(If “Auto Display” is set to ON, the display
will turn on automatically.)
4. Switch the source on the front display to an audio source. The sound from the speakers
switches according to the front display. The
rear display continues to display the DVD.
5. Turn on a pair of headphones and listen to the DVD on the rear displays using the
headphones.
6. Connect an auxiliary device to the AUX jack, set the rear display select switch to the L or
R side and push the SOURCE button to
select “Rear AUX”. The selected side of the
rear display will switch to the AUX mode.
The other rear display will continue to
display the DVD.
7. Turn on the other pair of headphones. If the sound from the headphones is not from the
AUX jacks, switch the channel with the
channel select switch on the headphones.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use a lightly dampened, lint free cloth to clean
the surfaces of your DVD Entertainment System

system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-32) .)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
.Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap if
the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in
the vehicle information display. If the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the vehicle.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and applythe parking brake.
2. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 15
minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be within the range
*1. If the
oil level is below
*2, remove the oil filler cap
and pour recommended oil through the opening.
Do not overfill
*3.
6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance intervals or during the break-
in period, depending on the severity of
operating conditions.

the belt is in poor condition or loose, have it
replaced or adjusted. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
2. Have the belts checked regularly for condi- tion and tension in accordance with the
maintenance schedule shown in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section.

SDI2515
To remove the filter, release the lock pins*1
and pull the unit upward*2.
The filter element should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
schedule shown in the “9. Maintenance and
schedules” section. When replacing the filter,
wipe the inside of the air cleaner housing and
the cover with a damp cloth.

Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
that the engine oil viscosity be selected based
on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be
operated before the next oil change. Choosing
an oil viscosity other than that recommended
could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new vehicle is equipped with a high-quality
genuine NISSAN oil filter. When replacing, use
the genuine oil filter or its equivalent for the
reason described in change intervals.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Oil and filter other than the
specified quality, or oil and filter change intervals
longer than recommended could reduce engine
life. Damage to engines caused by improper
maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter
quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the
new NISSAN vehicle limited warranties.
Your engine was filled with a high quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RE-
COMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the
lubricant, NISSAN A/C system oil Type S
or the exact equivalents.
