WARNING
.After adjustment, release the ad-
justment button and try to move
the shoulder belt anchor up and
down to make sure it is securely
fixed in position.
. The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the posi-
tion best for you. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and
increase the chance or severity of
injury in an accident.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position,
it is not possible to properly fit the lap-
shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender
that is compatible with the installed seat
belts is available that can be purchased.
The extender adds approximately 8 in
(200 mm) of length and may be used for
either the driver or front passenger seat-
ing position. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for assistance with pur-
chasing an extender if an extender is
required.
WARNING
.It is recommended that only
NISSAN seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, be used with the NISSAN
seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use
the standard seat belt should not
use an extender. Such unneces-
sary use could result in serious
personal injury in the event of an
accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly,
the child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision or a
sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply
a mild soap solution or any solution
recommended for cleaning upholstery
or carpets. Then, wipe with a cloth and
allow the seat belts to dry in the
shade. Do not allow the seat belts to
retract until they are completely dry. .
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the
seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the
shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry
cloth.
. Periodically check to see that the
seat belt and the metal components
such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors work prop-
erly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts
or other damage on the webbing is
found, the entire seat belt assembly
should be replaced.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases;
they contain colorless and odor-
less carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive
with all windows fully open, and
have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the liftgate closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must
drive with the liftgate open, fol-
low these precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high
to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the liftgate or
the body, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a quali- fied mechanic whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for ser-
vice.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the
passenger compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the ex-
haust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures
to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system
components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle
over flammable materials such as

2. Start the engine.
3. Shift the transmission into gear.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Drive slowly until the vehicle andtrailer are clear from the blocks.
6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
. While going downhill, the weight of the
trailer pushing on the tow vehicle may
decrease overall stability. Therefore, to
maintain adequate control, reduce
your speed and shift to a lower gear.
Avoid long or repeated use of the
brakes when descending a hill, as this
reduces their effectiveness and could
cause overheating. Shifting to a lower
gear instead provides “engine braking”
and reduces the need to brake as
frequently.
. If the engine coolant temperature
rises to a high temperature, see “If
your vehicle overheats” (P.6-14).
. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal circumstances.
. Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s
first 500 miles (800 km).
. Have your vehicle serviced more often
than at intervals specified in the
recommended maintenance schedule
shown in the "9. Maintenance and schedules" section.
. When making a turn, your trailer
wheels will be closer to the inside of
the turn than your vehicle wheels. To
compensate for this, make a larger
than normal turning radius during the
turn.
. Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-
versely affect vehicle/trailer handling,
possibly causing vehicle sway. When
being passed by larger vehicles, be
prepared for possible changes in
crosswinds that could affect vehicle
handling.
Do the following if the trailer begins to
sway:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to coast
and steer as straight ahead as the
road conditions allow. This combina-
tion will help stabilize the vehicle.
.Do not correct trailer sway bysteering or applying the brakes.
2. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side
of the road in a safe area.
3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is balanced as described earlier in this
section.
. Be careful when passing other vehi-
cles. Passing while towing a trailer requires considerably more distance
than normal passing. Remember the
length of the trailer must also pass the
other vehicle before you can safely
change lanes.
. Use the Tow mode or downshift the
transmission to a lower gear for en-
gine braking when driving down steep
or long hills. This will help slow the
vehicle without applying the brakes.
. Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, result-
ing in reduced braking efficiency.
. Increase your following distance to
allow for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
. NISSAN recommends that the cruise
control not be used while towing a
trailer.
. While towing a trailer, do not use the
following systems (if so equipped):
— the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system
(See “How to enable/disable the
LDW system” (P.5-28).)
— the Intelligent Lane Intervention (I- LI) system
(See “How to enable/disable the I-LI
system” (P.5-34).)

Audio options
Wireless headphones
Each monitor includes a built-in dual chan-
nel infrared transmitter for use with wire-
less headphones. The wireless head-
phones must be used within a line of sight
from the transmitter as infrared signals, like
visible light, travel only in a straight line.
How to use the wireless headphones
When placing the headphones on your
head, make sure to observe the lef t and
right orientation. The headphones must be
oriented correctly (facing forward) to re-
ceive the audio signal. Press the
(power) button on the headphones,
then select channel “A” to listen to monitor
A, or channel “B” to listen to monitor B. Ad-
just the audio level using the volume con-
trol on each headphone.
Wired headphones
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone out-
put on each monitor which can be used
with most standard stereo headphones
(wired headphones sold separately).
Bluetooth® streaming audio
To listen to audio throughout the entire ve-
hicle, the system includes the ability tostream audio over a Bluetooth® connec-
tion to the vehicle’s stereo system.
When monitor A is selected as the source
to stream from, the audio output to the
wireless and wired headphones will be dis-
abled (only on monitor A). To use the wire-
less or wired headphones with monitor A,
you must turn off the Bluetooth® stream-
ing feature. To enable/disable Bluetooth®
streaming, navigate to the “SETTINGS”
menu, or press
on the remote control
during content playback. For additional in-
formation, see “Settings” in this section.
