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.

TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates
to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.If the light does not illuminate
with the ignition switch placed in
the ON position, have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. If the light illuminates or Low
Pressure information is displayed
on the monitor screen while driv-
ing, avoid sudden steering man-
euvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv- ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check.
Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.

WARNING
.The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the
vehicle is on a paved, level sur-
face. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual
distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
. Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s-eye view as a reference.
The lines and the bird’s-eye view
are greatly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehi-
cle position, road condition and
road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines and the bird’s-

rectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
farther than they appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear.
. Objects in the rear view will ap-
pear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rear view
and outside mirrors.
. Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. The distance between objects
viewed in the rear view differs
from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
. On a snow-covered or slippery
road, there may be a difference
between the predictive course
lines and the actual course line.
. The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
. The displayed lines on the rear
view will appear slightly off to the
right because the rearview cam-
era is not installed in the rear
center of the vehicle.

CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. De-
posits from leaded gasoline ser-
iously reduce the three-way
catalyst’s ability to help reduce
exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel in-
jection, or electrical systems can
cause overrich fuel flow into the
three-way catalyst, causing it to
overheat. Do not keep driving if
the engine misfires, or if notice-
able loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while
warming it up. .
Do not push or tow your vehicle
to start the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity. Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure tell-
tale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then re-
main continuously illuminated. This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction indica-
tor is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
Starting and driving5-5
5-12Starting and driving
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test a 4WD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel
dynamometer (such as the dy-
namometers used by some
states for emissions testing), or
similar equipment 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 dynam-
ometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drive-
train damage or unexpected ve-
hicle 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 steer-
ing 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 cor- nering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars.
Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of
control and/or a rollover acci-
dent.
. 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 im-
mediately after driving in mud or
water. See “Brake system” (P.5-
142) for wet brakes.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on
steep hills. If you get out of the
vehicle and it rolls forward, back-
ward 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. Main-
tenance 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
traction. Be especially careful
when towing a trailer (4WD mod-
els).

.The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system cannot detect all
vehicles or pedestrians under all
conditions.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system does not detect the
following:
— Pedestrians that are small (for
example, children), in a sitting
position, operating toys/ska-
teboards, on scooters or in
wheelchairs, or not in an up-
right standing or walking po-
sition.
— Animals of any size.
— Obstacles (for example, cargo or debris) on the roadway or
roadside.
— Oncoming or crossing vehi- cles.
— Vehicles where the tires are difficult to see or the shape of
the rear of the vehicle is un-
clear or obstructed.
— Parked vehicles.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system has some perfor-
mance limitations. — If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the system will
not function when the vehicle
approaches the stationary ve-
hicle at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 MPH (80 km/h).
— Pedestrian detection will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or below approxi-
mately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. For pedestrians, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system will
not issue the first warning.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function
properly or detect a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead in the following
conditions:
— In poor visibility conditions
(such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sand storms, smoke,
and road spray from other
vehicles).
— If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other material is covering the radar
sensor area or camera area of
the windshield. — If strong light (for example,
sunlight or high beams) en-
ters the front camera or a
sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, entering
a tunnel or driving in light-
ning).
— In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as at night or in tunnels,
including cases where your
vehicle’s headlights are off or
dim, or the tail lights of the
vehicle ahead are off.
— When the direction of the camera is misaligned.
— When driving on a steep downhill slope, on roads with
sharp curves, and/or bumpy
or dirt roads.
— If there is interference by other radar sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed
quickly or significantly (for
example, lane change, turning
vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).
