11. Rear seat belt warning
This warning appears for 35 seconds
after the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.
This warning shows the status of the
three rear seat belts. When one of the rear
seat belts is buckled, the corresponding
rear seat belt indicator will appear gray.
When one of the rear seat belts is
unbuckled, the corresponding rear seat
belt indicator will appear red.
For precautions on seat belt usage, see
“Seat belts” (P.1-13).
12. Tire Pressure Low — Add Air
warning
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter
illuminates and low tire pressure is de-
tected. The warning appears each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated. If this
warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. (See “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-18) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-
6).)
13. Shift to P range warning
This warning appears when the driver’s
door is opened while the shift lever is in
any position other than P (Park).
If this warning appears, push the park
button to engage the P (Park) position.
An inside warning chime will also sound.
(See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7).)
14. CVT Malfunction Service now
warning
This warning appears when there is a
malfunction with the CVT system. If this
warning appears, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
15. CVT hot Power reduced warning
The CVT has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature
becomes too high (for example, climbing
steep grades in high temperatures with
heavy loads, such as when towing a
trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be de-
creased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accel-
erator pedal, but the engine and vehicle
speed may be reduced.
16. CVT Malfunction Stop safely
warning
This warning appears when there is a
malfunction with the CVT system. If this
warning appears, stop the vehicle in a
safe place. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
17. Check position of shift lever
warning
This warning appears if the system can-
not detect the shift position. Make sure
the vehicle is placed in a position properly.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you contact a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
18. When parked apply parking
brake warning
This warning appears if a malfunction
occurs in the electric shift control system.
Contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible. When parking the vehicle, make
sure that the parking brake is applied. If

3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Close the fuel-filler door after refueling.
If you need to refuel from a portable fuel
container, use the funnel supplied with
your vehicle. (See “When refueling from a
portable fuel container” (P.3-30).)
CAUTION
.Do not attempt to open the flaps
on the fuel-filler opening using
any tool other than the fuel pump
nozzle.
. This fuel-filler opening is only
conformable to normal fuel pump
nozzles at gas stations. Using a
nozzle with a small diameter may
damage the opening and the fuel
system.
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle
body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage.
WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near
the vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Contin-
ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your
vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel contain-
er in the vehicle or trailer. Static
electricity can cause an explosion
of flammable liquid, vapor or gas
in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce
the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel contain-
ers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in con- tact with the container while
you are filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable
liquid.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for MOD. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
. Do not use the MOD system when
towing a trailer. The system may
not function properly. .
Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume or open
vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance
will be limited according to en-
vironmental conditions and sur-
rounding objects such as:
— When there is low contrast
between background and the
moving objects.
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or
sunlight is present.
— When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such
as when the outside mirror is
folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
— When the position of the mov- ing objects in the display is
not changed.
. The MOD system might detect
flowing water droplets on the

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 with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gas; it
contains colorless and odorless
carbon monoxide. Carbon mon- oxide 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 an extended
period of time.
. Keep the liftgate closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gas
could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must
drive with the liftgate open, fol-
low these precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation
mode off and set the fan
speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If a special body or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or
other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle. (Some recreational
vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. 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:
— Your vehicle is raised while
being serviced.
— 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.
Starting and driving5-5
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING

.Before operating the vehicle, en-
sure that the driver and all pas-
sengers have their seat belts
fastened.
. Always drive with the floor mats
in place as the floor may became
hot.
. Lower your speed when encoun-
tering strong crosswinds. With a
higher center of gravity, your
vehicle is more affected by strong
side winds. Slower speeds ensure
better vehicle control.
. Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires,
even with AWD engaged.
. For AWD equipped vehicles, do
not attempt to raise two wheels
off the ground and shift the
transmission to any drive or re-
verse position with the engine
running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
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 AWD
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.
. When a wheel is off the ground
due to an unlevel surface, do not
spin the wheel excessively (AWD
model).
. 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
traction devices on the front
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-
155) 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 front wheels on
slippery surfaces may cause the
AWD warning message to display
and the AWD system to automa-
tically switch from the AWD mode
to the 2WD mode. This could
reduce traction. Be especially
careful when towing a trailer
Starting and driving5-13

5-24Starting and driving
1M(1st):
Use this position when climbing steep
hills slowly or driving slowly through deep
snow, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds
for extended periods of time in lower
than 8th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.
. Pulling the same paddle shifter twice
will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done,
the second shifting may not be com-
pleted properly.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the se-
lected gear. This helps maintain
driving performance and reduces
the chance of vehicle damage or
loss of control.
. When this situation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) position indicator will blink
and the chime will sound.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may shift up automatically
to a higher range than selected if the
engine speed is too high. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
and shifts to 1st gear before the
vehicle comes to a stop. .
CVT operation is limited to automatic
drive mode when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is extremely low even if manual
shift mode is selected. This is not a
malfunction. When CVT fluid warms
up, manual shift mode can be se-
lected.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is
high, the shift range may upshift in
lower rpm than usual. This is not a
malfunction.
Accelerator downshift - in D (Drive)
position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection
mode
This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid
temperature becomes too high, (for ex-
ample, when climbing steep grades in
high temperatures with heavy loads, such
as when towing a trailer), engine power
and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to
reduce the chance of transmission da-
mage. Vehicle speed can be controlled
with the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the
Continuously Variable Transmission will
not be shifted into the selected driving
position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” (P.2-19). This will occur even
if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait for
10 seconds. Then place the ignition
switch back in the ON position. The
vehicle should return to its normal
operating condition. (The MIL may be
illuminated even when the vehicle has
returned to its normal operating condi-
tion.) If it does not return to its normal
operating condition, have the transmis-
sion checked and repaired, if necessary,
by a NISSAN dealer.

—If a malfunction occurs in the
automatic brake hold function.
. Make sure that the electronic park-
ing brake system warning light (yel-
low) is OFF before starting the
vehicle.
MANUAL OPERATION
To apply: When the vehicle is stopped,
pull the parking brake switchup. (The
electronic parking brake will apply even if
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.) The indicator light
on the
switch and the electronic parking brake
warning light PARK or
(red) will
illuminate.
To release: With the ignition switch in the
ON position, depress the brake pedal and
push the parking brake switch down
.
The indicator lightand the electronic
parking brake warning light (red) will turn
off.
Before driving, check that the electronic
parking brake warning light (red) turns
off. For additional information, see “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” (P.2-13).
NOTE:
. While the electronic parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side
of the rear seat. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
. When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the electronic
parking brake system warning light
(yellow) may blink and the electronic
parking brake may not operate in
order to prevent the electronic park-
ing brake system from overheating.
If this occurs, operate the parking
brake switch again after waiting
approximately 1 minute.
. If the electronic parking brake must
be applied while driving in an emer-
gency, pull up and hold the parking
brake switch. When you release the
parking brake switch, the electronic
parking brake will be released.
. While pulling up the parking brake
switch during driving, the electronic
parking brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking
brake warning light (red) and the
indicator light on the parking brake
switch illuminate. This does not in-
dicate a malfunction. The electronic
parking brake warning light (red)
and the indicator light on the park-
ing brake switch will turn off when
the electronic parking brake is re-
leased. .
When pulling the parking brake
switch up with the ignition switch
in the OFF position, the indicator
light on the parking brake switch
will continue to illuminate for a short
period of time.
When towing a trailer
Depending on the weight of the vehicle
and trailer and the steepness of the slope,
there may be a tendency for the vehicle
to move backwards when starting from a
standstill. When this occurs, you can use
the parking brake switch in the same way
as a conventional lever type parking
brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when
towing a trailer, be sure to read the
following to prevent the vehicle from
moving backward unintentionally.
.Release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering en-
ough torque to the wheels.

pairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
