by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks. I Axle-mounted hitches should not be used. I The hitch should not be attached to or affect the impact-absorbing


the operation of bumper


I Do not modify the vehicle exhaust system, brake system, etc. when the hitch is in- stalled.


I To reduce the possibility of additional dam- age if your vehicle is struck from the rear, remove the hitch when not in use. After the hitch is removed, seal the bolt holes to prevent exhaust fumes, water or dust from entering the passenger compartment.

I Regularly check that all hitch mounting


bolts are securely mounted.


Tire pressures I When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires to the recommended cold tire pressure indicated on the tire placard (located on the inside of the center console lid.)


I Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and proper inflation pressure should be in ac- cordance with the trailer and tire manufac- turers’ 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. When wiring the ve- hicle for towing, connect the stop and tail light pickup into the vehicle electrical circuit at a point between the sensor and stop light or light switch.


Trailer brakes If your trailer is equipped with a braking sys- tem, make sure it conforms to Federal and/or local regulations and that is properly in- stalled.


it


Never connect a trailer brake system directly to the vehicle brake system.


Pre-towing tips I 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 pos- sible causes of either condition.


I Always secure items in the trailer to prevent


load shifts while driving.


I Be certain your rear view mirrors conform to all federal, state or local regulations. If not, install any mirrors required for towing be- fore 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 performance will be somewhat differ- ent than under normal driving conditions. I Always secure items in the trailer to prevent


load shift while driving.


I Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. I Avoid sharp turns or lane changes. I Always drive your vehicle at a moderate


speed.


I 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 parking brake, and then move the transmission 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.


I When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift


9-15


Z 01.2.1/A32-D X


firmly grip the steering wheel, steer straight ahead, and immediately (but gradually) re- duce vehicle speed. This combination will help stabilize the vehicle. Never increase speed.


I Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires con- siderably more distance than normal pass- ing. Remember the length of the trailer must also pass the other vehicle before you can safely change lanes.


I To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or over- drive (automatic transmission).


I Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.


When towing a trailer, change oil in the transmission more frequently. See the Maintenance schedule.


the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.


I 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 opening the windows, switching the fan control to high and setting the temperature control to the “HOT” position.


I Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor-


mal circumstances.


I Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles


(800 km).


I Have your vehicle serviced more often than at intervals specified in the recommended Maintenance Schedule.


I 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.


I Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely vehicle/trailer handling, possibly affect 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,

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. Treadwear Treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on tire wear rate when tested under controlled conditions on specified government 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 de- pends on actual driving conditions, and may vary significantly from the norm due to varia- tions in driving habits, service practices and differences 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 controlled con- ditions, on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked with a C may have poor traction performance.


The traction grade assigned to your ve- hicle tires is based on straight line brak- ing 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 conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus- tained high temperature can cause tire mate- rial 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 performance on laboratory test wheels than the minimum required by law.


The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and pos- sible tire failure problems.

GAS STATION INFORMATION


Recommended fuel: 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 avail- able, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Research octane number 91) can be used. However, for maximum vehicle perfor- mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso- line is recommended.


Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission con- trol devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage.


Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, since this will damage the three way catalyst.


For further details such as gasohol, see “Fuel recommendation” in the “Technical and con- sumer Information” section.


Recommended engine oil specifications: I API SG or SH and Energy Conserving II I API Certification Mark I SAE 10W-30 viscosity oil


is preferred for ambient temperatures above 0°F (−18°C). See “Engine oil and oil filter recommendation” in the “Technical and consumer information” section. Tire cold pressure: See tire placard affixed to the center console lid. Recommended new vehicle break-in procedure: During the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of vehicle use, follow the recommendations out- lined in the “BREAK-IN SCHEDULE Informa- tion found in the “Starting and driving” section of this Owner’s Manual. Follow these recom- mendations for the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in vehicle damage or shortened engine life.

Welcome To The World Of NISSAN


Your new Nissan is the result of our dedication to produce the finest in safe, reliable and economi- cal transportation. Your vehicle is the product of a successful worldwide company that manufac- tures cars and trucks in over 17 countries and distributes them in 170 countries. Nissan vehicles are designed and manufactured by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. which was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1933, and Nissan affiliates world wide, collectively growing to become the fifth largest automaker in the world. In addition to cars and trucks, Nissan also makes textile machinery, fork-lift trucks, marine engines, boats and other products. Nissan has made a substantial and growing investment in North America, starting with the opening of Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. in 1960 and continuing with the production of some cars and trucks at one of the world’s most


AFW0001
modern manufacturing facilities Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation U.S.A. in Smyrna, Tennessee, vehicle styling at Nissan Design International in San Diego, California, and engi- neering at Nissan Research and Development in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. and its dealers indirectly employ about 60,000 Americans. Nissan is also a substantial contributor to the Canadian economy. Nissan Canada Inc., its sup- pliers and over 170 dealers employ approxi- mately 4,500 people. These include company employees and the staffs of Nissan dealers all across Canada. In addition, many Canadians work for companies that supply Nissan and Nis- san dealers with materials and services ranging from operation of port facilities and transportation services, to the supply of lubricants, parts and accessories.


Nissan pioneered the use of electronics and computers in automobiles, and has led the indus- try in improving both performance and fuel effi- ciency through new engine designs and the use of synthetic materials to reduce vehicle weight. The company has also developed ways to build quality into its vehicles at each stage of the production process, both through extensive use of automation and — most importantly — through an awareness that people are the cen- tral element in quality control. From the time the parts arrived from our suppli- ers until you took delivery of your new Nissan, dozens of checks were made to ensure that only the best job was being done in producing and delivering your vehicle. Nissan also takes great care to ensure that when you take your Nissan to your dealer for maintenance, the service techni- cian will perform his work according to the quality standards that have been established by the factory. Safety has also been built into your Nissan. As you know, seat belts are an integral part of the safety systems that will help protect you and your passengers in the event of a sudden stop or an accident. We urge you to use the belts every time you drive the vehicle. The Nissan story of growth and achievement reflects our major goal: to provide you, our customer, with a vehicle that is built with quality and craftsmanship — a product that we can be proud to build and you can be proud to own.
