WARNING

Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:

● When it is not possible to keep the

vehicle at a set speed.

● In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in

speed.

● On winding or hilly roads.
● On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
● In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 30 - 89 mph (48 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument panel comes on.

To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch
and release it. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set speed.

● To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-

celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.

● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed

when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods.

● Push the CANCEL switch.
● Tap the brake pedal.
● Push the ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE in-

dicator light in the instrument panel will go
out.

The cruise control is automatically canceled if:

● you depress the brake pedal while pushing

the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST switch.
The preset speed is deleted from memory.

● the vehicle slows down more than 8 mph

(13 km/h) below the set speed.

● you move the shift lever to N (Neutral).

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods.

● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.

● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.

When the vehicle attains the speed you de-
sire, release the switch.

● Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch.

Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods.

● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-

hicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.

● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-

lease the switch when the vehicle slows to
the desired speed.

● Push and release the COAST/SET switch.

Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 30 mph (48 km/h).

Starting and driving

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and ensure
the future reliability and economy of your
new vehicle. Failure to follow these rec-
ommendations may result in shortened
engine

life

and

reduced

engine

performance.

● Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.

● Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
● Avoid quick starts.
● Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.

1. Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake

Pedal Application

● Avoid rapid starts and stops.
● Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible.

● Maintain constant speed while commut-

ing and coast whenever possible.

2. Maintain Constant Speed

● Look ahead to try and anticipate and mini-

mize stops.

● Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.

● Maintaining a steady speed can minimize

red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.

3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher

Vehicle Speeds

● Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more effi-

cient to open windows to cool the vehicle
due to reduced engine load.

● Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more effi-

cient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due to
increased aerodynamic drag.

● Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.

4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-

tances

● Observing the speed limit and not ex-

ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where legally
allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due
to reduced aerodynamic drag.

● Maintaining a safe following distance be-

hind other vehicles reduces unnecessary
braking.

● Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate

changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.

● Select a gear range suitable to road con-

ditions.

5. Use Cruise Control

● Using cruise control during highway driv-

ing helps maintain a steady speed.

● Cruise control is particularly effective in

providing fuel savings when driving on flat
terrains.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

Starting and driving

5-17

6. Plan for the Shortest Route

● Utilize a map or navigation system to de-

termine the best route to save time.

7. Avoid Idling

● Shutting off your engine when safe for

stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.

8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads

● Automated passes permit drivers to use

special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.

9. Winter Warm Up

● Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel

economy.

● Vehicles typically need no more than

30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before driv-
ing.

● Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating

temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling.

10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool

● Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area or in the shade whenever possible.

● When entering a hot vehicle, opening the

windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system.

● Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-

sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.

● Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im-

proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

For additional information, refer to “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY

5-18

Starting and driving

WARNING

● 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.

● Safe parking procedures require that

both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park). Fail-
ure to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and re-
sult in an accident. Make sure the shift
lever has been pushed as far forward as
it can go and cannot be moved without
depressing the foot brake pedal.

● Never leave the engine running while

the vehicle is unattended.

● To help avoid risk of injury or death

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into

traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good
practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

● HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB

䊊

Turn the wheels into the curb and move the
vehicle forward until the curb side wheel
gently touches the curb.

● HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB

䊊

Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

● HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO

CURB

䊊

Turn the wheels toward the side of the road
so the vehicle will move away from the cen-
ter of the road if it moves.

4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-

tion.

PARKING/PARKING ON HILLS

Starting and driving

5-19

WARNING

● If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for
the steering will not work. Steering will
be harder to operate.

● When the power steering warning light

illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the
steering. You will still have control of
the vehicle, but the steering will be
harder to operate. Have the power
steering system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

The power steering system is designed to pro-
vide power assist while driving to operate the
steering wheel with light force.

When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly
or continuously while parking or driving at a very
low speed, the power assist for the steering
wheel will be reduced. This is to prevent over-
heating of the power steering system and protect
it from getting damaged. While the power assist
is reduced, steering wheel operation will become
heavy. When the temperature of the power steer-
ing system goes down, the power assist level will
return to normal. Avoid repeating such steering

wheel operations that could cause the power
steering system to overheat.

You may hear a sound when the steering wheel is
operated quickly. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion.

If the electric power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indicate
the power steering system is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the power
steering system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering, but you will still
have control of the vehicle. At this time, greater
steering effort is required to operate the steering
wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low
speeds.

For additional information, refer to “Power steer-
ing warning light” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.

The brake system has two separate hydraulic
circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still
have braking at two wheels.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brakes

The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the
vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle and stopping dis-
tance will be longer.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake pads faster, and reduce gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the
brakes from overheating, reduce speed and
downshift to a lower gear before going down a
slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may
reduce braking performance and could result in
loss of vehicle control.

POWER STEERING

BRAKE SYSTEM

5-20

Starting and driving

WARNING

● While driving on a slippery surface, be

careful when braking, accelerating or
downshifting. Abrupt braking or accel-
erating could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.

● If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. Braking will be
harder.

Wet brakes

When the vehicle is washed or driven through
water, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your
braking distance will be longer and the vehicle
may pull to one side during braking.

To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe
speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes. Do this until the brakes return
to normal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high
speeds until the brakes function correctly.

Parking brake break-in

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the
stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened
or

whenever

the

brake

shoes

and/or

drums/rotors are replaced, in order to assure the
best brake performance.

This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)

WARNING

● The ABS is a sophisticated device, but it

cannot prevent accidents resulting from
careless or dangerous driving tech-
niques. It can help maintain vehicle con-
trol during braking on slippery surfaces.
Remember that stopping distances on
slippery surfaces will be longer than on
normal surfaces even with ABS. Stop-
ping distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered roads, or
if you are using tire chains. Always
maintain a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front of you. Ultimately, the
driver is responsible for safety.

● Tire type and condition may also affect

braking effectiveness.

– When replacing tires, install the

specified size of tires on all four
wheels.

– When installing a spare tire, make

sure that it is the proper size and type
as specified on the Tire and Loading
Information label. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Tire and Loading
Information label” in the “Technical
and consumer information” section
of this manual.

– For additional information, refer to

“Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.

The ABS controls the brakes so the wheels do
not lock during hard braking or when braking on
slippery surfaces. The system detects the rota-
tion speed at each wheel and varies the brake
fluid pressure to prevent each wheel from locking
and sliding. By preventing each wheel from lock-
ing, the system helps the driver maintain steering
control and helps to minimize swerving and spin-
ning on slippery surfaces.

Using the system

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. De-
press the brake pedal with firm steady pressure,
but do not pump the brakes. The ABS will oper-
ate to prevent the wheels from locking up. Steer
the vehicle to avoid obstacles.

Starting and driving

5-21

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may

result

increased

stopping

distances.

Self-test feature

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear
a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the
ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The
brake system then operates normally but without
anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

Normal operation

The ABS operates at speeds above 3 - 6 mph (5
- 10 km/h). The speed varies according to road
conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap-
plies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action
is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from
the actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating properly.
However, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care is re-
quired while driving.

The VDC system uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain
driving conditions, the VDC system helps to per-
form the following functions:

● Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel

slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.

● Controls brake pressure and engine output

to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).

● Controls brake pressure at individual wheels

and engine output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the following condi-
tions:

– understeer (vehicle tends to not follow

the steered path despite increased steer-
ing input)

– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to

certain road or driving conditions)

The VDC system can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of
vehicle control in all driving situations.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM

5-22

Starting and driving

When the VDC system operates, the

indi-

cator in the instrument panel flashes to note the
following:

● The road may be slippery or the system may

determine some action is required to help
keep the vehicle on the steered path.

● You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal

and hear a noise or vibration from under the
hood. This is normal and indicates that the
VDC system is working properly.

● Adjust your speed and driving to the road

conditions.

For additional information, refer to “Slip indicator
light” and “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF
indicator light” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
indicator light comes on in the instrument panel.
The VDC system automatically turns off when the
indicator light is on.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the VDC
system. The

indicator illuminates to indi-

cate the VDC system is off.
When the VDC switch is used to turn off the
system, the VDC system still operates to prevent
one drive wheel from slipping by transferring
power to a non slipping drive wheel. The

indicator flashes if this occurs. All other VDC
functions are off and the

indicator will not

flash.
The VDC system is automatically reset to ON
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position then back to the ON position.

The computer has a built in diagnostic feature
that tests the system each time you start the
engine and move the vehicle forward or in reverse
at a slow speed. When the self-test occurs, you
may hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and is not an
indication of a malfunction.

WARNING

● The VDC system is designed to help the

driver maintain stability but does not
prevent accidents due to abrupt steer-
ing operation at high speeds or by care-
less or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially
careful when driving and cornering on
slippery surfaces and always drive
carefully.

● Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.

If suspension parts such as shock ab-
sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars,
bushings and wheels are not NISSAN
recommended for your vehicle or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly. This could
adversely affect vehicle handling per-
formance, and the

indicator may

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK

To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de-
icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key
hole or use the remote keyless entry key fob.

ANTIFREEZE

In the winter when it is anticipated that the tem-
perature will drop below 32°F (0°C), check the
antifreeze to assure proper winter protection. For
additional information, refer to “Engine cooling
system” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.

BATTERY

If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may
freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maxi-
mum efficiency, the battery should be checked
regularly. For additional information, refer to “Bat-
tery” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.

DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER

If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system, including the
engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle.
For additional information, refer to “Changing
engine coolant” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of
this manual.

TIRE EQUIPMENT

1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed to

provide superior performance on dry pave-
ment. However, the performance of these
tires will be substantially reduced in snowy
and icy conditions. If you operate your ve-
hicle on snowy or icy roads, NISSAN recom-
mends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL
SEASON TIRES on all four wheels. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for the tire type, size, speed rating and
availability information.

2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded

tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit their
use. Check local, state and provincial laws
before installing studded tires.

Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT

It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:

● A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove

ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.

● A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the

jack to give it firm support.

● A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
● Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield-

washer fluid reservoir.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE

WARNING

● Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),

very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving on
wet ice until the road is salted or
sanded.

● Whatever the condition, drive with cau-

tion. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even
more traction.

● Allow more stopping distance under

these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.

● Allow greater following distances on

slippery roads.

COLD WEATHER DRIVING

Starting and driving

5-25

Push the switch on to warn other drivers when
you must stop or park under emergency condi-
tions. All turn signal lights flash.

WARNING

● If stopping for an emergency, be sure to

move the vehicle well off the road.

● Do not use the hazard warning flashers

while moving on the highway unless
unusual circumstances force you to
drive so slowly that your vehicle might
become a hazard to other traffic.

● Turn signals do not work when the haz-

ard warning flasher lights are on.

The flashers will operate with the ignition switch
placed in any position.

Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of
the hazard warning flasher switch while
driving.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare (if so
equipped). When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit, and the CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure)
warning appears in the odometer, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If the
vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the
TPMS will activate and warn you of it by the low
tire pressure warning light. This system will acti-
vate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds
above 16 mph (25 km/h). For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section, and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.

In case of emergency

● If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended

COLD

tire

pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible.

● When replacing a wheel without the

TPMS such as the spare tire, TPMS will
not function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.

● Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

● The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire

Repair Sealant or equivalent can be
used for temporarily repairing a tire. Do
not inject any other tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the pressure
sensors.

REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE

If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility that
can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the tire
emergency repair kit may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors and cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate.

If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions be-
low.

Stopping the vehicle

1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and

away from traffic.

2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking

brake. Move the shift lever to P (Park).

4. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to

signal professional road assistance person-
nel that you need assistance.

5. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle

and stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.

WARNING

● Make sure the parking brake is securely

applied and the shift lever is shifted into
P (Park).

● Never repair tires when the vehicle is on

a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.

● Never repair tires if oncoming traffic is

close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.

Locating the emergency tire repair kit
