transmission cool before continuing. the road at a safe place and let 쐌 Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal circumstances. 쐌 Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km). 쐌 Have your 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- 9-22 Technical and consumer information 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 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. 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 continuously vari- able transmission vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat tow- ing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal transmission parts due to lack of transmission lubrication. 쐌 For emergency towing procedures re- fer to “Towing recommended by NISSAN” in the “6. In case of emer- gency” section of this manual. Continuously variable transmission To tow a vehicle equipped with a continuously variable transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the towed vehi- cle’s drive wheels. Always follow the dolly 墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 manufacturer’s recommendations when using their product. 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. Technical and consumer information 9-23 墌 06.7.5/Z50-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. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY Your NISSAN is covered by the following emis- sion warranties. For US: 쐌 Emission Defects Warranty 쐌 Emissions Performance Warranty (See Warranty Information Booklet for de- tails) For Canada: Emission Control System Warranty Details of these warranties may be found with other vehicle warranties in your Warranty Infor- mation Booklet that comes with your NISSAN vehicle. If you did not receive a Warranty Infor- mation Booklet or it has become lost, you may obtain a replacement by writing to: 쐌 Nissan North America, Inc. Consumer Affairs Department P.O. Box 685003 Franklin, TN 37068-5003 쐌 Nissan Canada Inc. 5290 Orbitor Drive Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 4Z5 in to addition REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS (US only) If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National High- way Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notifying NISSAN. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or NISSAN. To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236.

READINESS FOR INSPECTION/ MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only) WARNING A vehicle equipped with AWD (All- Wheel Drive) should never be tested using a two wheel dynamometer, similar to the dynamometers used by some states for emissions testing, or similar equipment. Make sure you inform the test facility personnel that your vehicle is an AWD equipped vehicle before it is placed on a dynamometer. Failure to do so may result in transmission damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury. Due to legal requirements in some states/ areas, your vehicle may be required to be in what is an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the emis- sion control system. called the condition” “ready for 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 Technical and consumer information 9-25 墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 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 transmission se- lector lever in the “P” or “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. 9-26 Technical and consumer information EVENT DATA RECORDERS Your vehicle is equipped with a variety of computers that monitor and control a num- ber of systems to optimize performance and help service technicians with diagno- sis and repair. Some of the computers monitor emission control systems, braking systems, engine systems, transmission systems, tire pressure systems and air bag systems. Some data about vehicle opera- tion may be stored in the computers for use during servicing. Other data may be stored if a crash event occurs. For example, vehicle speed, brake application, steering angle, air bag readiness, air bag perfor- mance and seat belt use by the driver or passenger may be recorded. These types of systems are sometimes called Event Data Recorders. Special equipment can be used to access the electronic data that may be stored in the vehicle’s computers (sounds are not recorded). NISSAN and NISSAN dealers have equipment to access some of this data; others may also have this equipment. The data may be retrieved during routine vehicle servicing 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 other- wise required or permitted by law.

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 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.

(Research octane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not avail- able, you may use unleaded regular gaso- line with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance. 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, since this will damage the three-way catalyst. 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. “Capacities For additional information, see “Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9.

NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag. Most states, provinces or territories re- quire that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven. the severity of SSS0229A ARMREST Pull the armrest forward until it is horizontal. Always wear seat belts. No system can prevent all injuries in any acci- dent. 쐌 Do not attach anything to the head restraint stalks. Doing so could im- pair active head restraint function. The head restraint moves forward utilizing the force that the seatback receives from the occu- pant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occupant’s head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash type injuries. Active head restraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most. Active head restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original positions. Properly adjust the active head restraints as described in the previous section. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-9 墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 쐌 Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could increase the risk of internal injuries in an accident. 쐌 Be sure the seat belt tongue is se- curely fastened to the proper buckle. 쐌 Do not wear the seat belt inside out or twisted. Doing so may reduce its effectiveness. 쐌 Do not allow more than one person to use the same belt. 쐌 Never carry more people in the ve- hicle than there are seat belts. 쐌 If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the ignition is turned ON with all doors closed and all seat belts fastened, it may indi- cate a malfunction in the system. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. 쐌 Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has activated, it cannot be reused and must be replaced together with the WARNING 쐌 Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint. 쐌 The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of injury in an SSS0136 accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly. 쐌 Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never run the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. 1-10 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 SSS0134 SSS0016 retractor. See a NISSAN dealer. 쐌 Removal and installation of the pre- tensioner seat belt system compo- nents should be done by a NISSAN dealer. 쐌 All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any colli- sion by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends that all seat belt as- semblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was mi- nor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur- ing a collision should also be in- spected and replaced if either dam- age or improper operation is noted. 쐌 All child restraints and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. Always follow the re- straint manufacturer’s inspection in- structions and replacement recom- mendations. The child restraints should be replaced if they are dam- aged. SSS0014 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11 墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 CHILD SAFETY Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. In addition to the general information in this manual, child safety information is available from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations. Every child is different, so be sure to learn the best way to transport your child. There are three basic types of child restraint systems: 쐌 Rear facing child restraint 쐌 Front facing child restraint 쐌 Booster seat The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less than 20 lb (9 kg)) should be placed in rear facing child restraints. Front facing child restraints are available for children who outgrow rear facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old. Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer use a front facing child restraint. WARNING Infants and children need special pro- tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit them properly. The shoulder belt may come too close to the face or neck. The lap belt may not fit over their small hip bones. In an accident, an improperly fitting seat belt could cause serious or fatal injury. Always use appropriate child restraints. All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or terri- tories require the use of approved child re- straints for (See “Child restraints” later in this section.) infants and small children. Also, there are other types of child restraints available for larger children for additional protec- tion. NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens and children be restrained in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. This is especially important because your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger. See “Supplemental restraint system” later in this section. Infants Infants up to at least one year old should be placed in a rear facing child restraint. NISSAN recommends that infants be placed in child restraints that comply with Federal Motor Ve- hicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve- hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a child restraint which fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal- lation and use. Small children Children that are over one year old and weight between 20 lbs (9 kg) and 40 lbs (18 kg) can be placed in a forward facing child restraint. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and maximum weight and height recommenda- tions. NISSAN recommends that small children be placed in child restraints that comply with
