FUEL RECOMMENDATION All models are designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) (Research octane number 91).
CAUTION
c Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage.
c Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, since this will damage the three-way catalyst.
Reformulated Gasoline Some fuel suppliers are now producing re- formulated gasolines. These gasolines are specially designed to reduce vehicle emis- sions. NISSAN supports efforts towards cleaner air and suggests that you use refor- mulated gasoline when available. Gasoline containing oxygenates Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE and
methanol with or without advertising their presence. Nissan does not recommend the use of fuels of which the oxygenate content and the fuel compatibility for your NISSAN cannot be readily determined. If in doubt, ask your service station manager. If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take the following precautions as the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle perfor- mance problems and/or fuel system dam- age. c The fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating no lower than that recommended for unleaded gasoline. c If an oxygenate-blend, excepting a methanol blend, it should contain no more than 10% oxygenate. (MTBE may, however, be added up to 15%.)
is used,
c If a methanol blend is used, it should contain no more than 5% methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It should also contain a suitable amount of appropriate cosolvents and corro- sion inhibitors. If not properly formu- lated with appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, such methanol
9-4
blends may cause fuel system damage and/or vehicle performance problems. At this time, sufficient data is not avail- able to ensure that all methanol blends are suitable for use in NISSAN ve- hicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine stalling and hard hot starting are experi- enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, immediately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a low blend of MTBE. Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling. Gasoline containing oxygen- ates can cause paint damage. After Market Fuel Additives NISSAN does not recommend the use of any fuel additives (i.e., fuel injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit remov- ers, etc.) which are sold commercially. Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain active solvents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel system and engine.
Z X
damage to the engine. If any of the above symptoms are encountered, have your ve- hicle checked at a NISSAN dealer or other competent service facility. However, now and then you may notice light spark knock for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is no cause for concern, because you get the greatest fuel benefit when there is light spark knock for a short time under heavy engine load.
Octane rating tips In most parts of North America, you should use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index). How- ever, you may use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating as low as 85 AKI in high altitude areas (over 4,000 ft [1,219 m]) such as: Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, northeastern Nevada, southern Idaho, western South Dakota, western Ne- braska, and that part of Texas which is directly south of New Mexico. Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than stated above can cause persistent, heavy ‘‘spark knock.’’ (‘‘Spark knock’’ is a metallic rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead to engine damage. If you detect a persistent heavy spark knock even when using gasoline of the stated octane rating, or if you hear steady spark knock while holding a steady speed on level roads, have your dealer correct the condition. Failure to correct the con- dition is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not responsible. Incorrect ignition timing results in knocking, after-run and/or overheating. This in turn may cause excessive fuel consumption or

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RECOMMENDATION Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to chose the correct quality and viscosity oil to ensure satisfactory en- gine life and performance. NISSAN recom- mends the use of a low friction oil (energy conserving oil) in order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy. Oils which do not have the specified quality label should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
ATI0507
Only those engine oils with the American Petroleum Institute (API) CERTIFICATION MARK on the front of the container should be used. This type of oil supersedes the existing API SG or SH and Energy Conserv- ing II categories. If you cannot find engine oil with the CERTI- FICATION MARK, an API SG or SH and Energy Conserving II oil with API Service Symbol may be used. An oil with a single designation SG or SH, or in combination with other categories (for example, SG/CC or SG/CD) may also be used if one with the API CERTIFICATION MARK cannot be found.
9-6
Mineral based or synthetic type oils may be used in your NISSAN vehicle. These oils must however, meet the API quality and SAE viscosity ratings specified for your ve- hicle. Do not mix mineral based and syn- thetic type oils in the engine at the same time. Oil additives NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil additives. The use of an oil additive is not necessary when the proper oil type is used and maintenance intervals are followed. Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been previously used should not be used. Oil viscosity The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes with temperature. Because of this, it is important that the engine oil viscosity be selected based on the temperatures at which the vehicle will be operated before the next oil change. The chart ‘‘Recom- mended SAE viscosity number’’ shows the recommended oil viscosities for the ex- pected ambient temperatures. Choosing an oil viscosity other than that recommended could cause serious engine damage.

for
Selecting the correct oil filter Your new vehicle is equipped with a high- quality genuine NISSAN oil filter. When replacing, use the genuine oil filter or its equivalent the reason described in ‘‘Change intervals’’. Change intervals The oil and oil filter change intervals for your engine are based on the use of the specified quality oils and filters. Oil and filter other than the specified quality, or oil and filter change intervals longer than recommended could reduce engine life. Damage to en- gines caused by improper maintenance or use of incorrect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not covered by the new NISSAN vehicle warranties. Your engine was filled with a high quality engine oil when it was built. You do not have to change the oil before the first recom- mended change interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend upon how you use your vehicle. Operation under the following conditions may require more frequent oil and filter changes: — repeated short distance driving at cold
outside temperatures,
— driving in dusty conditions, — extensive idling, — towing a trailer.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY NUMBER
ATI0509
c SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil is preferred for all temperatures. SAE 10W-30 vis- cosity oil may be used if the ambient temperature is above 0°F (-18°C).

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS The air conditioner system in this NIS- SAN vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the lubricant, NISSAN A/C system lubricant Type R or the exact equivalents.
CAUTION
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage and you will need to replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioner system.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the earth’s atmosphere, certain government regulations require the recov- ery and recycling of any refrigerant during automotive air conditioner system service. Your NISSAN dealer has the trained tech- nicians and equipment needed to recover and recycle your air conditioner system refrigerant. Contact your NISSAN dealer when servic- ing your air conditioner system.

REGISTERING YOUR VEHICLE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY When planning to drive your NISSAN vehicle in another country, you should first find out if the fuel available is suitable for your vehicle’s engine. Using fuel with too low an octane rating may cause engine damage. All gasoline vehicles can be operated with unleaded gasoline. Therefore, avoid driving your vehicle in ar- eas where appropriate fuel is not available. When transferring the registration of your vehicle to another country, state, province or district, it may be necessary to modify the vehicle to meet local laws and regulations. The laws and regulations for motor vehicle emission control and safety standards vary according to the country, state, province or district; therefore, vehicle specifications may differ. When any vehicle is to be taken into another country, state, province or dis- trict and registered, its modifications, transportation and registration are the responsibility of the user. NISSAN is not responsible for any inconvenience that may result.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
CAUTION
c It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these ar- eas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
c Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. c Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Terms It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms before loading your vehicle: c Curb Weight (actual weight of your ve- hicle) -- vehicle weight including: stan- dard and optional equipment, fluids, emergency tools, and spare tire assem- bly. This weight does not include pas- sengers and cargo.
c GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) -- curb weight plus the combined weight of pas- sengers and cargo.
c GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -- maximum total weight (load) limit speci- fied for the vehicle.
c GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -- maximum weight (load) limit specified for the front or rear axle.
Determining Vehicle Load Capacity The load capacity of this vehicle is deter- mined by weight, not by available cargo space. For example, a luggage rack, bike carrier, cartop carrier or similar equipment does not increase load carrying capacity of your vehicle. To determine vehicle load capacity: Vehicle weight can be determined by using a commercial-grade scale, found at places such as a truck stop, gravel quarry, grain elevator, or a scrap metal recycling facility. 1) Determine the curb weight of your ve-
hicle.
2) Compare the curb weight amount to the GVWR specified for your vehicle to de- termine how much more weight your vehicle can carry.
3) After loading (cargo and passengers),
9-15
reweigh your vehicle to determine if ei- ther GVWR or GAWR for your vehicle is exceeded. If GVWR is exceeded, re- move cargo as necessary. If either the front or rear GAWR is exceeded, shift the load or remove cargo as necessary.
Loading Tips c The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as specified on the FMVSS Cer- tification Label.
c Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR. c Loads should be spread out, and cargo should be properly secured. Large or heavy objects should be placed toward the front of the trunk box to help prevent sliding or shifting.
Z X
STI0049
SECURING THE LOAD For your convenience, tie down hooks are placed at each corner of the truck box. These may be used to help secure cargo loaded into the truck box.
WARNING
c Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
c Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli- sion, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
c Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWR’s. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could result in loss of control and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle. Failures caused by overloading are not covered by your warranty.

Tongue load
Keep the tongue load between 9 to 11
percent of the total trailer load within the
maximum tongue load limits shown in the
following Towing Load/Specification Chart.
If the tongue load becomes excessive, re-
arrange cargo to allow for proper tongue
load.
Maximum load limits Maximum trailer loads Never allow the total trailer load to exceed the value specified in the following Towing Load/Specification Chart. The total trailer load equals trailer weight plus its cargo weight. c When towing a trailer load of 1,000 lb (454 kg) or more, trailers with a brake system MUST be used.
The maximum GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) should not exceed the value specified in the following Towing Load/ Specification Chart. The GCWR equals the combined weight of the towing vehicle (including passengers and cargo) plus the total trailer load. Towing loads greater than these or using improper towing equipment could adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and performance.

Trailer hitch Check the towing capacity of your bumper hitch or receiver-type frame mounted hitch. Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and trailer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely attached to the vehicle to help avoid per- sonal injury or property damage due to sway caused by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.
CAUTION
c Special hitches which include frame reinforcements are required for tow- ing above 2,000 lb (907 kg). Suitable genuine NISSAN hitches for pickup trucks are available at your NISSAN dealer.
c Do not use axle-mounted hitches. c Do not modify the vehicle exhaust system, brake system, etc. when the hitch is installed.
c To reduce the possibility of addi- tional damage if your vehicle is struck from the rear, where practical, remove the hitch when not in use. Remove receiver when not in use.
After the hitch is removed, seal the bolt holes to prevent exhaust fumes, water or dust from entering the pas- senger compartment.
c Check regularly to make sure that all trailer hitch mounting bolts are se- curely fastened.
Tire pressures c When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires to the recommended cold tire pres- sure indicated on the tire placard (affixed to the glove box lid).
c Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and proper inflation pressure should be in accordance with the trailer and tire manufacturers’ specifications.
Safety chain Always use a suitable chain between your vehicle and the trailer. The chain should be crossed and should be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chain to permit turning corners.

Trailer lights Trailer lights should comply with Federal and/or local regulations. For assistance in hooking up trailer lights, contact your autho- rized NISSAN dealer. 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 prop- erly installed.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly to the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips c Be certain your vehicle maintains a level position when a loaded and/or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an abnormal nose-up or nose- down condition; check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes of either condi- tion.
c Always secure items in the trailer to
Z X
prevent load shifts while driving.
c Be certain your outside mirrors conform to all federal, state or local regulations. If not, install any mirrors required for towing before driving the vehicle.
Trailer towing tips In order to gain skill and an understanding of the vehicle’s behavior, you should prac- tice turning, stopping and backing up in an area which is free from traffic. Steering, stability and braking performance will be somewhat different than under normal driv- ing conditions. c Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
c Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. c Avoid sharp turns or lane changes. c Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
c 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 your vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission, first block the wheels and apply the park-
ing brake, and then move the transmis- sion shift lever into the P position. If you move the shift lever to the P position before blocking the wheels and applying the parking brake, transmission damage could occur.
c When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of en- gine overloading and/or overheating. However, for long steep grades, do not stay in 1st or 2nd gear when driving above 35 MPH (56 km/h).
c If
the engine coolant rises to an ex- tremely high temperature when the air conditioning system is on, turn off the air conditioner. Coolant heat can be addi- tionally vented by opening the windows, to high and switching the fan control setting the temperature control to the HOT position.
c Trailer towing requires more fuel
normal circumstances.
than
c Have your vehicle serviced more often than at intervals specified in the recom- mended Maintenance Schedule.
c 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.
c Crosswinds and rough roads adversely affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly causing vehicle sway. When being passed by larger vehicles, be prepared for possible changes in crosswinds that could affect vehicle handling. If swaying does occur, firmly grip the steering wheel, steer straight ahead, and immedi- ately (but gradually) reduce vehicle speed. This combination helps to stabi- lize the vehicle. Never increase speed.
c Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires considerably more distance than normal passing. Remember the length of the trailer must also pass the other vehicle before you can safely change lanes.
c Avoid towing a trailer for your vehicle’s
first 500 miles (805 km).
c To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do
9-22
Z X
not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
c Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in re- duced braking efficiency.
When towing a trailer, change oil in the transmission more frequently. See the Maintenance Schedule.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING
DOT Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Require- ments in addition to these grades. Treadwear Treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on tire wear rate when tested under controlled conditions on specified govern- ment test courses. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. However, relative tire performance depends on actual driving conditions, and may vary signifi- cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differ- ences in road characteristics and climate. Traction A, B and C Traction grades are A (the highest), B and C. They represent a tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under con- trolled conditions, on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked with a C may have poor traction performance.
9-23
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to your vehicle tires is based on straight line braking traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
Temperature A, B and C Temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C. They represent a tire’s resistance to heat build-up, and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi- tions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause tire material to degenerate, reducing tire life. Excessive temperatures can lead to sudden tire failure. Grade C corresponds to a performance level which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades A and B represent higher levels of perfor- mance on laboratory test wheels than the minimum required by law.
Z X
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 problems.

READINESS FOR INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST Due to legal requirements in some states and Canadian provinces, your vehicle may be required to be in 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 ve- hicle. If a powertrain system component is re- paired or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may be reset to a not ready condi- tion. Before taking the I/M test, 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 man- ner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine when the engine coolant temperature gauge needle points to C. Allow the engine to idle until the gauge needle points between the C and H (nor- mal operating temperature).
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 mph (88
km/h), then quickly release the accelera-
tor pedal completely and keep it released
for at least 6 seconds.
3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed of 53 to 60 mph (85 to 97 km/h) for at least 5 minutes.
4. Stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 at least one
more time.
If step 1, 2 or 3 is interrupted, repeat the preceding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable between steps. Do not stop the engine until step 3 is completed.
