BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal
exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is
activated generating greater braking force
than a conventional brake booster even
with light pedal force.
WARNING
The brake assist is only an aid to assist
braking operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.The VDC system uses various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion.
Under certain driving conditions, the VDC
system helps to perform the following
functions:
∙ Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a non slipping
drive wheel on the same axle.
∙ Controls brake pressure and engine output to reduce drive wheel slip based
on vehicle speed (traction control func-
tion).
∙ Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle in
the following conditions:
– Understeer (vehicle tends to not fol- low the steered path despite in-
creased steering input)
– Oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions)
The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it can-
not prevent loss of vehicle control in all driv-
ing situations. When the VDC system operates, the
indicator in the instrument panel flashes
so note the following:
∙ The road may be slippery or the system may determine some action is required
to help keep the vehicle on the steered
path.
∙ You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from
under the hood. This is normal and indi-
cates that the VDC system is working
properly.
∙ Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.
For additional information, refer to “Slip in-
dicator light” and “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF indicator light” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the
andindicator lights come
on in the instrument panel. The VDC sys-
tem automatically turns off when these in-
dicator lights are on.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system. The
indicator illumi-
nates to indicate the VDC system is off.
When the VDC switch is used to turn off the
system, the VDC system still operates to

SYSTEM
5-24Starting and driving

Push the switch on to warn other drivers
when you must stop or park under emer-
gency conditions. All turn signal lights flash.
WARNING
∙ If stopping for an emergency, be sureto move the vehicle well off the road.
∙ Do not use the hazard warning flash- ers while moving on the highway un-
less unusual circumstances force you
to drive so slowly that your vehicle
might become a hazard to other
traffic. ∙ Turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning flasher lights are on.
The flashers will operate with the ignition
switch placed in any position.
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use
of the hazard warning flasher switch
while driving.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Shif t the automatic
transmission (if so equipped) to P (Park)
or the manual transmission (if so
equipped) to R (Reverse).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the charging system and cause per-
sonal injury.1. If the booster battery is in another ve- hicle, position the two vehicles to bring
their batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to
touch. 2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shif t
lever to N (Neutral) (manual transmis-
sion) or to P (Park) (automatic trans-
mission). Switch off all unnecessary
electrical systems (lights, heater, air
conditioner, etc.).
3. Ensure the vent caps are level and tight.
4. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence illustrated (
A,B,C,D).
CAUTION
∙ Always connect positive () to posi-tive ( ) and negative () to body
ground (for example, strut mounting
bolt, engine lif t 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 vehicle at about 2,000 rpm, and start
the engine of the vehicle being jump
started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged
for more than 15 seconds. If the engine
does not start, place the ignition switch
in the OFF position and wait 10 seconds
before trying again, otherwise the
starter could be damaged.
7. Af ter starting the engine, carefully dis- connect the negative cable and then
the positive cable.

Replacing the halogen headlight
bulb
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
which uses a replaceable headlight (halo-
gen) bulb. They can be replaced from insidethe engine compartment without remov-
ing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION
∙ High-pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the bulb. The bulb may break if
the glass envelope is scratched or the
bulb is dropped.
∙ Aiming should not be necessary af ter replacing the H4 bulb. When aiming
adjustment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
∙ Do not leave the headlight assembly open without a bulb installed for a
long period of time. Dust, moisture,
smoke, etc. entering the headlight
body may affect bulb performance.
Remove the bulb from the headlight
assembly just before a replacement
bulb is installed.
∙ Only touch the base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass enve-
lope. Touching the glass could signifi-
cantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.
∙ Use the same number and wattage as shown in the chart. 1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector
A
from the rear end of the bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap
B.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin
Cto
loosen it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or rotate the bulb when remov-
ing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of removal.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for servicing.

HEADLIGHT AIM
The aim of the headlights may require ad-
justment when replacing the headlight as-
sembly or when the vehicle’s front body
has been repaired. When the adjustment is
required, follow these procedures, or have
them adjusted by a NISSAN dealer.
Before performing the headlights aim ad-
justment:∙ Check the pressure of all tires for the correct inflation pressure.
∙ Check that the tools and spare tire are stowed securely. ∙ Check that the fuel and lubricants levels
are filled to correct capacities.
∙ Unload all luggage and other items, which may influence the vehicle’s
height level.
∙ Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface verti-
cal to the wall or screen to which the
headlights will be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to determine the point P as shown in the
illustration.
The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the head-
light’s center point to the level surface.
“WL” is the distance between the lef t
and right headlights’ centers.
LDI2422LDI2423
8-24Do-it-yourself

3. Mark point P on the wall or screen.
4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,16.4 f t) straight away from the wall or
screen.
”L” is the distance between the wall or
screen to the vehicle’s front bumper.
5. Apply the parking brake.
Adjusting the headlight aim
Be sure that the vehicle is parked directly
vertical to the wall on which the headlights
will be projected. 1. Turn on the headlight low beam
2. Open the hood.
3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws
1
2, located inside the engine compart-
ment, until the headlight projection, on
the wall or screen, does not move. NOTE:
The aim adjustment screws are located
on each side of the headlights. The lower
screw
1is used to adjust the horizontal
aim. The upper screw
2is used to adjust
the vertical aim.
The screws can be turned indefinitely in
each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-
serve the headlight projection move-
ment to determine the necessary turn-
ing amount.
