SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER


The air conditioner system in your NISSAN is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equipment and lubricant is required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants causes severe damage to your air conditioner system. See “Air conditioner system refrigerant and lubricant recommen- dations” in the ‘‘Technical and consumer information’’ section of this manual. An authorized NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally ‘‘friendly’’ air conditioner system.


WARNING


The air conditioner system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air condi- tioner service should be done by an experienced technician with proper equipment.

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex- ternal Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may influence radio reception quality. Radio reception Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en- hance radio reception. These circuits are designed to extend reception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However there are some general character- istics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a mov- ing vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These characteristics are com- 4-10 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems


in a given reception area, pletely normal and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system. Reception conditions will constantly change because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception. FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as light. For example they will reflect off objects. Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade and/or drift. Static and flutter: During signal interference from buildings, large hills or due to antenna


position, usually in conjunction with in- creased distance from the station transmit- ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble re- sponse. Multipath reception: Because of the reflec- tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound. AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low frequency, can bend around objects and skip along the ground. the signals can be bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of these characteristics. AM signals are also subject to interference as they travel from transmitter to receiver. Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can also occur for several seconds during ionospheric turbu- lence even in areas where no obstacles exist. Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

RDS (Radio Data System) RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is a data information service transmitted by some radio stations on the FM band (not AM band) encoded within a regular radio broad- cast. Currently, most RDS stations are in large cities, but many stations are now considering broadcasting RDS data. RDS can display: O Station call sign, such as “WHFR 98.3”. O Station name, such as “The Groove”. O Music or programming type such as


“Classical”, “Country”, or “Rock”.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING


WARNING


O Do not


leave children, unreliable adults, or pets alone in your vehicle. They could accidentally injure them- selves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or pos- sibly fatal injuries to people or ani- mals.


O Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seat- backs. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per- sonal injury.


EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)


WARNING


O Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless car- bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous. It can cause uncon- sciousness or death.


5-2 Starting and driving


O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open, and have the vehicle inspected immediately.


O Do not run the engine in closed


spaces such as a garage.


O Do not park the vehicle with the engine running for any extended length of time.


O Keep the back door and rear win- dows closed while driving, other- wise exhaust gases could be drawn into the passenger compartment. If you must drive with the back door or rear windows open, follow these pre- cautions: 1. Open all the windows. 2. Set the air recirculation switch OFF and the fan control at 4 (high) to circulate the air.


O If electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass to a trailer through the seal on the back door or the body, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.


O If a special body, camper, or other equipment is added for recreational or other usage, follow the manufac- turer’s recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into the ve- hicle. Do not occupy these areas while the engine is running even if the vehicle is parked. Some recreational vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also generate carbon monoxide.


O The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever: a. The vehicle is raised for service. b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger compartment.


c. You notice a change in the sound


of the exhaust system.


d. You have had an accident involv- ing damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.


Z X


THREE-WAY CATALYST The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Ex- haust gases in the converter are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.


WARNING


O The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are very hot. Keep people, animals or flammable materials away from the exhaust system com- ponents.


O Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.


CAUTION


O Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos- its from leaded gasoline will seri- ously reduce the three-way cata- lyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants.


O Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc- tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause over-


rich fuel flow into the three-way cata- lyst, causing it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance or other unusual operating condi- tions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected promptly by an authorized NISSAN dealer.


O Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damag- ing the three-way catalyst.


O Do not race the engine while warm-


ing it up.


O Do not push or tow your vehicle to


start the engine.


ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING PRECAUTIONS Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. They have higher ground clearance than passenger cars to make them capable of performing in a variety of on-pavement and off-road applications. This gives them a


higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. However, they are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers particu- larly at high speeds. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. Be sure to read the driving safety precau- tions later in this section. AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER


WARNING


Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident.


Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steering maneuvers, because these driving Starting and driving 5-3


Z X


practices could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss of control could result in a collision with other vehicles or objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of control causes the vehicle to slide sideways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including prescription or over-the-counter drugs which may cause drowsiness). Al- ways wear your seat belt as outlined in the ‘‘Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems’’ section of this manual, and in- struct your passengers to do so. Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING


WARNING


Never drive under the influence of alco- hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood- stream reduces coordination, delays


5-4 Starting and driving


reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others. Additionally, if you are injured in the accident, alcohol can increase the se- verity of injury.


Nissan is committed to safe driving. But, you must choose not to drive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are injured or killed in alcohol related accidents. Although the local laws vary on what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all people differently and most people underes- timate the effects of alcohol. Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And that’s true for drugs too (over the counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition. DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Your NISSAN is designed for both normal and off-road use. However, avoid driving in


deep water or mud as your NISSAN is mainly designed for leisure use, unlike a conventional offroad vehicle. Remember that two-wheel drive models are less capable than four-wheel drive models for rough road driving and extrication when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like. Please observe the following precautions:


WARNING


O Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas. Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should be seated with their seat belt fastened. This will keep you and your passengers in position when driving over rough terrain.


O Do not drive across steep slopes. In- stead drive either straight up or straight down the slopes. Off-road ve- hicles can tip over sideways much more easily than they can forward or backward.


Z X


O Many hills are too steep for any ve- hicle. If you drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down them, you may not be able to control your speed. If you drive across them, you may roll over.


O Do not shift gears while driving on downhill grades as this could cause loss of control of the vehicle.


O Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At the top there could be a drop-off or other hazard that could cause an accident.


O If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to the top of a steep hill, never attempt to turn around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over. Always back straight down in R (Reverse) gear. Never back down in N (Neutral) or with the clutch depressed (manual transmission vehicles), us- ing only the brake, as this could cause loss of control.


O Heavy braking going down a hill- could cause your brakes to over heat


and fade, resulting in loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes lightly and use a low gear to control your speed.


O Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough ter- rain. Properly secure all cargo so it will not be thrown forward and cause injury to you or your passengers.


O To avoid raising the center of gravity excessively, do not exceed the rated capactiy of the roof rack/gear bin (if so equipped) and evenly distribute the load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo area as far forward and as low as possible. Do not equip the vehicle with tires larger than specified in this manual. This could cause your ve- hicle to roll over.


O Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving offroad. The steering wheel could move suddenly and injure your hands. Instead drive with your fin- gers and thumbs on the outside of the rim.


O Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the driver and all passengers have their seat belts fastened.


O Always drive with the floor mats in place as the floor may become hot. O Lower your speed when encoutering strong crosswinds. With a higher center of gravity, your NISSAN is more affected by strong side winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.


O Do not drive beyond the perfor- mance of the tires, even with 4WD engaged.


O Accelerating quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or sudden braking may cause loss of control.


O If at all possible, avoid sharp turning maneuvers, particularly at high speeds. Your NISSAN four wheel drive vehicle has a higher center of gravity than a two-wheel drive ve- hicle. The vehicle is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-wheel drive ve- hicles. Failure to operate this vehicle


Starting and driving 5-5


Z X


correctly could result in loss of con- trol and/or a rollover accident.


O Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction (bias, bias belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Install tire chains on the rear wheels when driving on slippery roads and drive carefully.


O Be sure to check the brakes immedi- ately after driving in mud or water. See ‘‘Brake system’’ later in this sec- tion for ‘‘Wet brakes’’.


O Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward, backward or side- ways, you could be injured.


O Whenever


you


drive


off-road through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more frequent maintenance may be required. See ‘‘Periodic maintenance’’ the ‘‘NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide.’’
