place any objects between any
occupant and the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the front
air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat
that will leave permanent impres-
sions in the seat. Such objects
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors (weight
sensors). This can affect the op-
eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents will be hot. Do not touch
them; you may severely burn
yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supple-
mental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the air bag sys-
tem may result in serious perso-
nal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad- ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sen-
sors.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the seat belt system.
This may affect the front air bag
system. Tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.

High beam assist
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at approxi-
mately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and above.
If an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle
appears in front of your vehicle when the
headlight high beam is on, the headlight
will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beam and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may
not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.). — When a light source similar to
a headlight or tail light is in
the vicinity of the vehicle.
— When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle are turned off,
when the color of the light is
affected due to foreign mate-
rials on the lights, or when the
light beam is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, con- tinuous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differ-
ences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense
light towards the front of the
vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
. The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may
change under the following situa-
tions.
— The brightness of the head-
lights of the oncoming vehicle
or leading vehicle.
— The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and
the leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is illuminated.
— When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-
wheeled vehicle.
— Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
— The number of passengers and the amount of luggage.

The heated steering wheel system is
designed to operate only when the sur-
face temperature of the steering wheel is
below 68°F (20°C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel after the engine
starts. The indicator light
on the switch
will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and
on to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on
as long as the system is on.
Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
HEATED STEERING WHEEL (if so equipped)
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.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction
of the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function prop-
erly when the wheels are
equipped with tire chains or the
wheels are buried in snow. .
Do not place metalized film or
any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on
the windows. This may cause
poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function
properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of
the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
. Facilities or electric devices using
similar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases.
. If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel
and tire without TPMS.
. If the TPMS has been replaced and the
ID has not been registered.
. If the wheel is not originally specified
by NISSAN. FCC Notice:

WARNING
The following actions can increase
the chance of losing control of the
vehicle if there is a sudden loss of tire
air pressure. Losing control of the
vehicle may cause a collision and
result in personal injury.
.The vehicle generally moves or
pulls in the direction of the flat
tire.
. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
. Do not rapidly release the accel-
erator pedal.
. Do not rapidly turn the steering
wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold
a straight course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow
the vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road and away from
traffic if possible. 5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gra-
dually stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and either contact a roadside emer-
gency service to change the tire or see
“Changing a flat tire” (P.6-4).
ABOUT LOWERING OF THE REAR OF
THE VEHICLE
If the loaded vehicle is not moved for a
long time, the vehicle rear body may be to
lower. But it is normal. Once the engine
starts, It will automatically adjust vehicle
height.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the
bloodstream reduces coordination,
delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking
alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring
yourself and others. Additionally, if
you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the
injury. NISSAN is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Every year
thousands of people are injured or killed
in alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t
mix! And that is true for drugs, too (over-
the-counter, prescription, and illegal
drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol,
drugs, or some other physical condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your NISSAN is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving
in deep water or mud as your NISSAN is
mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD)
models are less capable than Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) models for rough road driving
and extrication when stuck in deep snow,
mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
