CAUTION:
. Always usetires ofthe same size,brand,
construction (bias,bias-belted orradial) ,
and tread pattern onallfour wheels. Failure
to do somay result inacircumference
difference betweentiresonthe front and
rear axles which willcause excessive tire
wear andmay damage thetransmission,
transfer caseandrear differential gears.
. Only usespare tiresspecified foreach 4WD
model.
If excessive tirewear isfound, itis recommended that
all four tires bereplaced withtires ofthe same size,
brand, construction andtread pattern. Thetire
pressure andwheel alignment shouldalsobechecked
and corrected asnecessary .Contact aNISSAN
dealer.
Snow tires

size, brand, construction andtread pattern onallfour
wheels.
Tire inflation pressure

Check thepressures inall tires, including thespare,
with agauge periodically whenataservice station.
Adjust tothe specified pressureifnecessary .Tire
pressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Tire rotation
T32A130 827-BCA9A BF3-4A1A-42 5E-8276-807FAAD0A08E
NISSAN recommends thattires berotated every5,000
km (3,000 miles).Do not include thespare tireinthe
tire rotation.
Tire chain
T32A130 827-61205 7E2-0991-4 824-9088-F4 4BB593B9BC
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe front
wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
Do not drive withtirechains onpaved roadswhich are
clear ofsnow .Driving withchains insuch conditions
can cause damage tothe various mechanisms ofthe
vehicle duetosome overstress.

WARNING:
. The VDC/ESP systemisdesigned tohelp the
driver maintain stabilitybutdoes notpre-
vent accidents duetoabrupt steering opera-
tion athigh speeds orby careless or
dangerous drivingtechniques. Reducevehi-
cle speed andbeespecially carefulwhen
driving andcornering onslippery surfaces
and always drivecarefully.
. Donot modify thevehicle's suspension. If
suspension partssuchasshock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabilizer bars,bushings and
wheels arenot NISSAN recommended for
your vehicle orare extremely deteriorated,
the VDC/ESP systemmaynotoperate
properly. Thiscould adversely affectvehicle
handling performance, andtheVDC/ESP
warning light
may illuminate.
. Ifbrake related partssuchasbrake pads,

When theelectric powersteering warninglight
illuminates withtheengine running, thepower assist
for the steering willcease operation. You will still have
control ofthe vehicle. However, greatersteering effort
is needed, especially insharp turnsandatlow speeds.

V acuum assisted brakes
T32A130 827-06FB24 2C-CC82-419B-8F9B-7 57838B48E6 2
The brake booster aidsbraking byusing engine
vacuum. Ifthe engine stops,youcan stop thevehicle
by depressing thefoot brake pedal. However, greater
foot pressure onthe foot brake pedalwillberequired
to stop thevehicle. Thestopping distancewillbe
longer.
If the engine isnot running oristurned offwhile driving,
the power assisted brakeswillnot function. Braking
will beharder.
WARNING:
Do not coast withtheengine stopped.
Using brakes
T32A130 827-7685AB CE-3DB1-41 CC-B5B8-18 AA17ED1ABA
Avoid resting yourfootonthe foot brake pedalwhile
driving. Thiswilloverheat thebrakes, wearoutthe
brake linings/pads faster,andincrease fuelconsump-
tion.
T o help reduce brakewearandtoprevent thebrakes
from overheating, reducespeedanddownshift toa
lower gearbefore goingdownaslope orlong grade.
Overheated brakesmayreduce braking performance
and could resultinloss ofvehicle control.
While driving onaslippery surface, becareful when
braking, accelerating ordownshifting. Abruptbraking
or acceleration couldcause thewheels toskid and
result inan accident.
W et brakes
T32A1308 27-AD58DC9 A-3C68-4844- A916-478DBC224255
When thevehicle iswashed ordriven through water,
the brakes maygetwet. Asaresult, yourbraking
distance willbelonger andthevehicle maypulltoone
side during braking.
T o dry the brakes, drivethevehicle atasafe speed
while lightly depressing thebrake pedal toheat upthe
brakes. Dothis until thebrakes returntonormal. Avoid
driving thevehicle athigh speeds untilthebrakes
function correctly.
Parking brakebreak-in
GUID-4EA5AD 91-B89C-4754-AFD4-5 6CB6178CF5 9
Break inthe parking brakeshoes whenever the
stopping effectofthe parking brakeisweakened or
whenever theparking brakeshoes and/or drums/rotors
are replaced, inorder toassure thebest braking
performance.
This procedure isdescribed inthe vehicle service
manual andcanbeperformed byaNISSAN dealer.
Driving uphill
T32A130 827-B903C 177-351C-4E 85-9937-E5FD2194B30 C
When starting onasteep grade, itis sometimes
difficult tooperate boththebrake andclutch (forMT
model) .Apply theparking braketohold thevehicle. Do
not slip theclutch. Whenreadytostart, slowly release
the parking brakewhiledepressing theaccelerator
pedal andreleasing theclutch pedal.
Driving downhill

The engine braking actioniseffective forcontrolling
the vehicle whiledescending hills.ForManual Trans-
mission (MT)model, theshift lever should beplaced in
the lower speed position priortodescending. For
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)model, the
manual shiftmode orthe ªLº position shouldbe
selected.
