tery as a direct power source for all trailer lights while using the vehicle tail light, stoplight and turn signal circuits as a signal source. The module/ converter must draw no more than 15
milliamps from the stop and tail lamp circuits. Using a module/converter that exceeds these power requirements may damage the vehicle’s electrical system. See a reputable trailer dealer to obtainTechnical and consumer information 9-19

the proper equipment and to have it installed.
Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or local regulations. When wiring the vehicle for towing, connect the stop and tail light pickup into the vehicle electrical circuit at a point be- tween the sensor and stop light or light switch. Trailer brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking system, make sure it conforms to federal and/or local regulations and that it is properly installed.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly to the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips 쐌 Be certain a vehicle maintains a level position when a loaded and/or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an unusual nose-up or nose-down condition; check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes of these conditions.
9-20 Technical and consumer information
쐌 Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shifts while driving.
쐌 Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in the back half.
쐌 Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, vehicle tire pressure, trailer light operation, and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you attach a trailer to the vehicle.
쐌 Be certain your rear view mirrors conform to If install any mirrors required for towing
all federal, state and/or local regulations. not, before driving the vehicle.
Trailer towing tips In order to gain skill and an understanding of the vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turning, stopping and backing up in an area which is free from traffic. Steering stability, and braking per- formance will be somewhat different than under normal driving conditions. 쐌 Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
쐌 Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. 쐌 Avoid sharp turns or lane changes. 쐌 Always drive a vehicle at a moderate speed. Some states or provinces have specific
speed limits for vehicles that are towing trailers. Obey the local speed limits.
쐌 When backing up, hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Move your hand in the direction in which you want the trailer to go. Make small corrections and back up slowly. If possible, have someone guide you when you are backing up.
쐌 Always block the wheels on both vehicle and trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not recommended; however, if you must do so, and if a vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission, first apply the parking brake and block the wheels, and then move the transmission selector lever into the P (Park) position. If you move the selector lever to the P (Park) position before blocking the wheels and applying the parking brake, the transmis- sion may get damaged.
쐌 When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When going up a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine overload- ing and/or overheating.
쐌 If the engine coolant rises to an extremely high temperature when the air conditioning system is on, turn off the air conditioner. Coolant heat can be additionally vented by
墌 07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0 墍
opening the windows, switching the fan con- trol to high and setting the temperature con- trol to the HOT position.
쐌 Trailer towing consumes more fuel than nor-
mal circumstances.
쐌 Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km).
쐌 Have a vehicle serviced more often than at intervals specified in the recommended main- tenance schedule.
쐌 When making a turn, your trailer wheels will be closer to the inside of the turn than your vehicle wheels. To compensate for this, make a larger than normal turning radius during the turn.
쐌 Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly caus- ing vehicle sway. When being passed by larger vehicles, be prepared for possible changes in crosswinds that could affect ve- hicle handling. If swaying does occur, firmly grip the steering wheel, steer straight ahead, and immediately (but gradually) reduce ve- hicle speed. This combination will help stabi- lize the vehicle. Never increase speed.
쐌 Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires con- siderably more distance than normal passing.
Remember the length of the trailer must also pass the other vehicle before you can safely change lanes.
쐌 To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use 6th gear (manual transmission) or 5th posi- tion (automatic transmission).
쐌 Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking ef- ficiency.
쐌 Increase your following distance to allow for greater stopping distances while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops and brake gradually. 쐌 Do not use cruise control while towing a
trailer.
쐌 Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness con- nections, and trailer wheel lug nuts after 50
miles (80 km) of travel and at every break.쐌 When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather, put the vehicle in the P (Park) position.
When towing a trailer, change transmis- sion oil more frequently. For additional information, see the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
FLAT TOWING
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground is sometimes called flat towing. This method is sometimes used when towing a ve- hicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a motor home.
CAUTION
쐌 Failure to follow these guidelines in severe transmission
can result damage.
쐌 Whenever flat towing your vehicle, always tow forward, never backward. 쐌 DO NOT tow any automatic transmis- sion vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal transmission parts due to lack of transmission lu- brication.
쐌 For emergency towing procedures, refer to “Towing recommended by NISSAN” in the “6. In case of emer- gency” section of this manual.
Technical and consumer information 9-21
墌 07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0 墍
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the towed vehicle’s drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacturer’s recommendations when using their product. MANUAL TRANSMISSION 쐌 Always tow with the manual transmission in
Neutral.
쐌 After towing 500 miles, start and idle the engine with the transmission in Neutral for two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after every 500 miles of towing may cause damage to internal transmission parts.

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction AA, A, B and C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as mea- sured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and con-
crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking trac- tion tests, and does not include accel- eration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature A, B and C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus- tained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
墌 07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0 墍
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combi- nation, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure.

READINESS FOR INSPECTION/ MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only) Due to legal requirements in some states/ areas, your vehicle may be required to be in what is called the “ready condition” for an Inspection/ Maintenance (I/M) test of the emission control system. The vehicle is set to the “ready condition” when it is driven through certain driving patterns. Usually, the “ready condition” can be obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle. If a powertrain system component is repaired or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be reset to a not “ready condition”. Before taking the I/M test, check the vehicle’s inspection/ maintenance test readiness condition. Turn the ignition switch ON without starting the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10
seconds, the I/M test condition is “not ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condition is “ready”. If the MIL indicates the vehicle is in a “not ready” condition, drive the vehicle through the following pattern to set the vehicle to the ready condition. If you cannot or do not want to perform the driving pattern, a NISSAN dealer can conduct it for you.WARNING
Always drive the vehicle in a safe and prudent manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle until the engine coolant temperature gauge needle points between the C and H (normal operat- ing temperature).
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h), then quickly release the accelerator pedal completely and keep it released for at least 10 seconds.
3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96 km/h) for at least 9
minutes.4. Stop the vehicle. Leave the engine running. 5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55 km/h)
and maintain the speed for 20 seconds. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 10 times. 7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h) and maintain the speed for at least 3 minutes. 8. Stop the vehicle. Place the automatic trans-
墌 07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0 墍
mission gear selector lever in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position or the manual transmis- sion shift lever in the N position.
9. Turn the engine off. 10. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one more
time.
If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat the preceding step. Any safe driving mode is ac- ceptable between steps. Do not stop the engine until step 7 is completed.
under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac- quired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties, such as law enforce- ment, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. The EDR data may be retrieved during routine vehicle servic- ing or for special research. It might also be accessed with the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee, in response to a request by law enforcement, or as otherwise re- quired or permitted by law.
EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: 쐌 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
쐌 Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
쐌 How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
쐌 How fast the vehicle was traveling. 쐌 Sounds are not recorded. These data can help provide a better un- derstanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your ve- hicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR

In this unlikely event, there is some important information you should know. Many insurance companies rou- tinely authorize the use of non-genuine collision parts in order to cut costs, among other reasons.
Insist on the use of Genuine NISSAN Collision Parts! If you want your vehicle to be restored using parts made to NISSAN’s original exacting speci- fications — if you want to help it to last and hold its resale value, the solution is simple. Tell your insurance agent and your repair shop to only use Genuine NISSAN Collision Parts. NISSAN does not warrant non-NISSAN parts, nor does NISSAN’s warranty apply to damage caused by a non-genuine part. Using Genuine NISSAN Parts can help protect your personal safety, preserve your warranty protection and maintain the resale value of your vehicle. And if your vehicle was leased, using Genuine NISSAN Parts may prevent or limit unnecessary excess wear and tear expenses at the end of your lease. NISSAN designs its hoods with crumple zones to minimize the risk that the hood will penetrate the windshield of your vehicle in an accident. Non-genuine (imitation) parts may not provide such built-in safeguards. Also, non-genuine parts often show premature wear, rust and cor- rosion. Why should you take a chance? In over 40 states, the law says you must be advised if non-genuine parts are used to repair
墌 07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0 墍
restrict
your vehicle. And some states have enacted laws that insurance companies from authorizing the use of non-genuine collision parts during the new vehicle warranty. These laws help protect you, so you can take action to protect yourself. It’s your right!

GAS STATION INFORMATION
FUEL RECOMMENDATION: Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions: 쐌 Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as pos- sible.
쐌 Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accelera-
tion.
However, for maximum vehicle perfor- mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso- line is recommended.
CAUTION
쐌 Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.
쐌 Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way cata- lyst.
쐌 Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN vehicle limited warranty.
