WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of
this manual. Many factors including tire
inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indica-
tor as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead
to a collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE STARTING THE ENGINE (models without NISSAN Intelligent Key®
system)
5-18Starting and driving

●Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
● Keep all the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
For additional information, refer to “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual. If any malfunction occurs in the AWD system
while the engine is running, the master warning
light will come on.
The master warning light may illuminate while
trying to free a stuck vehicle due to high pow-
ertrain oil temperature. The driving mode may
change to 2WD. AUTO mode may change to
LOCK mode before the warning light illuminates.
If the master warning light illuminates during op-
eration, stop the vehicle with the engine idling in a
safe place immediately.
Then if the light turns off after a while, you can
continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters of the
front and rear wheels will make the warning light
illuminate. Pull off the road in a safe area and idle
the engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same,
tire pressure is correct, and the tires are not worn.CAUTION
●
If the warning light remains on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
● If the warning light comes on while driv-
ing, there may be a malfunction in the
AWD system.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
● The powertrain may be damaged if you
continue driving with the warning light
illuminated.
● Never drive on dry, hard surface roads in
the LOCK mode, as this will overload
the powertrain and may cause a serious
malfunction.

AWD modeWheels driven AWD LOCK indicator
light Use conditions
AUTO Distribution of torque to the front
and rear wheels changes
automatically, depending on road
conditions encountered [100:0]
←→
[50:50]. This results in improved
driving stability. *1 For driving on paved
or slippery roads.
LOCK All-Wheel Drive (AWD) *2, *3
For driving on rough
roads.
*1 When the rotation difference between the front and rear wheels is large, the AWD mode may change
from AUTO to LOCK for a while, however, this is not a malfunction.
*2 The LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically when the vehicle has been driven at a
high speed. The AWD LOCK indicator light turns off.
*3 LOCK mode will automatically be canceled when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
● The AWD torque distribution between the front and rear wheels can be displayed in the video
information display.
● If the AWD LOCK switch is operated while accelerating or decelerating, or if the ignition switch is
turned off, you may feel a jolt. This is normal.
● The oil temperature of the powertrain parts will increase if the vehicle is continuously operated
under conditions where the difference in rotation between the front and rear wheels is large (wheel
slip) , such as when driving the vehicle on rough roads, through sand or mud, or freeing a stuck
vehicle. In these cases, the master warning light illuminates and the AWD mode changes to 2WD
to protect the powertrain parts. Stop driving with the engine idling and wait until the warning light
turns off and the AWD returns to the AUTO mode. If the warning light remains on, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
WARNING
● When driving straight, shift the AWD
LOCK switch to AUTO. Do not operate
the AWD LOCK switch when making a
turn or backing up.
● Do not operate the AWD LOCK switch
with the front wheel spinning.
● Engine idling speed is high while warm-
ing up the engine. Be especially careful
when starting or driving on slippery
surfaces.
● When turning the vehicle in LOCK mode
on paved roads, you may feel a braking
effect. This is a normal condition of the
AWD model.

REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects,
and tree sap as quickly as possible from the
surface of the paint to avoid lasting damage or
staining. Special cleaning products are available
at a NISSAN dealer or any automotive accessory
store. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for these products.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, it is
necessary to clean the underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the un-
derbody and suspension. Before the winter pe-
riod and again in the spring, the underseal must
be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is
parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft
cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant
cleaners. They could damage the electrical
conductors, radio antenna elements or
rear window defroster elements.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS (if so
equipped)
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge damp-
ened in a mild soap solution, especially during
winter months in areas where road salt is used. If
not removed, road salt can discolor the wheels.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
●
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid
or alkali contents to clean the wheels.
● Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as am-
bient temperature.
● Rinse the wheel to completely remove
the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.
TIRE DRESSINGS
NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to
the tires to help reduce discoloration of the rub-
ber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it may
react with the coating and form a compound. This
compound may come off the tire while driving and
stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
● Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-
ing on the tire dissolves more easily than
with an oil-based tire dressing.
● Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help
prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be difficult to
remove) .
● Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry
towel. Make sure the tire dressing is com-
pletely removed from the tire tread/grooves.
● Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-
mended by the tire dressing manufacturer.
