FUEL RECOMMENDATION
(Rock Creek)
NISSAN recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number
(Research octane number 96). If unleaded
premium gasoline is not available, you
may use unleaded regular gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 87 AKI number
(Research octane number 91), but you may
notice a decrease in performance.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
WARNING
•Always install the crossbars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof rack or the vehicle’s roof may
cause vehicle damage.
•Do not put load directly on the roof
rack. To avoid damage to paint, the
rubber seal and plastic supports,
use sof t padding or sof t cloth on the
crossbar before putting rough sur-
face load like plywood, lumber, etc.•Do not remove load label on both
sides of the front stanchions.
•Do not exceed maximum roof rack
load capacity and always distribute
the load uniformly. Heavy loading
of the roof rack has the potential
to affect the vehicle stability and
handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
•
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shif ting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle
is loaded at or near the cargo carry-
ing capacity, especially if the signifi-
cant portion of that load is carried on
the roof rack.
CAUTION
•Use care when placing or removing
items from the roof rack. If you can-
not comfortably lif t the items onto
the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or a stool.

Page 6 of 665

Genuine NISSAN accessory roof rack attach-
ments may be available through a NISSAN
dealer. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the tubular
roof rack is 220 lbs. (100 kg.).
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and
rear).
For additional information regarding GVWR

TIRE CHAINS
WARNING
Do not use tire chains with vehicles
equipped with 265/60R18 size tires.
Use of tire chains on this tire size would
cause damage to the suspension com-
ponents or the vehicle’s body compo-
nents. This damage could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle, leading to an
accident resulting in possible injury or
death.Use of tire chains may be prohibited ac-
cording to location. Check the local laws
before installing tire chains. When installing
tire chains, make sure they are the proper
size for the tires on your vehicle and are
installed according to the chain manufac-
turer's suggestions.Use only SAE class “S”
chains.Class “S” chains are used on ve-
hicles with restricted tire to vehicle clear-
ance. Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains
are designed to meet the minimum clear-
ances between the tire and the closest
vehicle suspension or body component re-
quired to accommodate the use of a win-
ter traction device (tire chains or cables).
The minimum clearances are determined
using the factory equipped tire size. Other
types may damage your vehicle. Use chain
tensioners when recommended by the
tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight
fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must
be secured or removed to prevent the
possibility of whipping action damage to
the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid
fully loading your vehicle when using tire
chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed.
Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged
and/or vehicle handling and performance
may be adversely affected.
Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving
with chains in such conditions can cause
damage to the various mechanisms of the
vehicle due to some overstress.
