intervals. To change an item:
Select “Maintenance” using the
switchand press OK.
Oil and Filter:
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set distance comes for changing the
engine oil and filter. You can set or reset
the distance for checking or replacing
these items. For scheduled maintenance
items and intervals, refer to the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section.
Tire:
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set distance comes for replacing
tires. You can set or reset the distance
for replacing tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-37).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide
only and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which
could result in serious personal in-
jury or death.
Other:
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set distance comes for checking or
replacing maintenance items other than
the engine oil, oil filter and tires. Other
maintenance items can include such
things as air filter or tire rotation. You
can set or reset the distance for checking
or replacing the items.
Instruments and controls2-25

4-34Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
contribute in a small part to global
warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s
air conditioner. Using improper refriger-
ants or lubricants will cause severe da-
mage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and
oil recommendations” (P.10-6).)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and
ventilates efficiently, replace the filter
according the specified maintenance in-
tervals listed in the "9. Maintenance and
schedules" section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.SAA2374

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-
129) 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. (AWD models)WARNING
Never remove the key or place the
ignition switch in the LOCK position
while driving. The steering wheel will
lock and could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle. This could
result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.

7. Avoid idling..Shutting off your engine when safefor stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and
avoid stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no morethan 30 seconds of idling at start-
up to effectively circulate the en-
gine oil before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal
operating temperature more
quickly while driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade when-
ever possible.
.When entering a hot vehicle, open- ing the windows will help to reduce
the inside temperature faster, re-
sulting in reduced demand on your
A/C system. .
Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
. Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure. Low tire pressure increases
tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Use the recommended viscosity en-
gine oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter
recommendation” (P.10-5).) If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
4x4 system while the engine is running,
warning messages appear in the vehicle
information display.

REPLACING SPARK PLUGS
If replacement is required, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Iridium platinum-tipped spark
plugs
It is not necessary to replace the iridium
platinum-tipped spark plugs as frequently
as the conventional type spark plugs
since they will last much longer. Follow
the maintenance schedule shown in the
“9. Maintenance and schedules” section.
Do not reuse the iridium platinum-tipped
spark plugs by cleaning or regapping.Always replace spark plugs with recom-
mended or equivalent ones.

occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is
normal and does not affect the function
or performance of the brake system.
Proper brake inspection intervals
should be followed.For additional infor-
mation, see the maintenance schedule
shown in the “9. Maintenance and sche-
dules” section.
