RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these

recommendations for the future reliability and

economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the

recommendations may result in shortened engine

life and reduced engine performance.

Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-

board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent in-

jury in the event of a sudden stop.

•

WARNING

The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be

changed remarkably by any additional load and

its distribution as well as by adding optional

equipment(trailercouplings,roofracks,etc.).Your

driving style and speed have to be adjusted ac-

cordingly. Especially when carrying heavy loads,

your speed must be reduced adequately.

Avoid driving for long periods at a constant

speed, either fast or slow.

•

Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.

•

Avoid quick starts.

The TPMS indicator light may not automatically

turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted. Af-

ter the tyre is inflated to the recommended

COLD tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds

above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS.

The TPMS indicator light flashes for a short period

and then turns on continuously if the system is not

operating properly. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the

malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor

or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-

tion warning light is illuminated, the system may

not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-

ety of reasons including the installation of replace-

ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle

that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS indicator light after replac-

ing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and

wheels allow theTPMS to continue to function prop-

erly.

For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]

message” later in this section.

Replacing tyres with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair

Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-

rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other

tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the ty-

res, as this may cause a malfunction of the tyre

pressure sensors.

–

avoid sudden steering manoeuvres

avoid abrupt braking

reduce vehicle speed

pull off the road to a safe location

stop the vehicle as soon as possible

NISSAN recommends using only Genuine

NISSAN EmergencyTyre Sealant provided with

your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may damage

the valve stem seal which can cause the tyre

to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN dealer or

qualified workshop as soon as possible after

using tyre repair sealant (for models equipped

with the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).

•

The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of

the spare tyre.

Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-

nently damage the tyres and increase the like-

lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage

could occur which may lead to an accident and

could result in serious personal injury.

•

The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is

•

driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,

this system may not detect a sudden drop in

tyre pressure (for example a flat tyre while driv-

ing).

188 Starting and driving

Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve

caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-

sors could be damaged.

•

CAUTION

The TPMS may not function properly when the

wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the

wheels are buried in snow.

•

Do not damage the valves and sensors when

storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.

•

Do not place metallised film or any metal parts

(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may

cause poor reception of the signals from the

tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not

function properly.

Replace the TPMS sensor valve stem (includ-

ing valve core and cap) and screw (where fit-

ted) when the tyres are replaced due to wear

or age. The screw (where fitted) must be fitted

correctly with a torque setting of 1.4 0.1 N.m.

The TPMS sensors can be used again.

Some devices and transmitters may tempo-

rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS

and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-

nate. Some examples are:

Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-

ment with a rigid air supply tube, as leverage

applied by the long nozzle can damage the

valve stem.

•

–

Facilities or electric devices using similar

radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is

being used in or near the vehicle.

If a computer (or similar equipment) or a

DC/AC converter is being used in or near

the vehicle.

–

If devices which transmit electrical noise

are connected to the vehicle's 12V power

supply.

When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre

pressure, never bend the valves.

•

Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply

with the factory-fitted valve cap specifica-

tions.

Do not use metal valve caps.

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET

PRESSURE

The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle in-

formation display to set the target pressure to the

‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See

“Settings” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-

tion. To adjust the target pressure use the steering

wheel switches to select the [Settings] menu, fol-

lowed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Target front] and

[Target rear] and set the desired tyre pressure.

TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of

the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the

car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the

tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings

due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system

uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform

temperature compensation calculations.

The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the

centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen

of the vehicle information display.

On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate

the TPMS system reference temperature using the

vehicle information display. See “Settings” in the

“2. Instruments and controls” section. This opera-

tion should only be performed when the actual tyre

pressure has been adjusted, whilst the current am-

bient temperature is significantly different to the

current calibration temperature.

ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

THREE-WAY CATALYST

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles.

TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE

The three-way catalyst is an emission control de-

vice installed in the exhaust system.In the converter,

exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to

help reduce pollutants.

They have higher ground clearance than passenger

cars to make them capable of performing in a wide

variety of on-road and off-road applications. This

gives them a higher centre 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 cor-

nering at the same speeds as conventional two-

wheel drive (2WD) vehicles any more than low-slung

sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily

under off-road conditions. If possible, avoid sharp

turns or abrupt manoeuvres, particularly 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. In a rollover accident an

unbelted person is significantly more likely to be in-

jured than a person who is wearing a seat belt.

CAUTION

Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically the

•

recommended type. For details, see “Capaci-

ties and recommended fluids/lubricants” in

the “9. Technical information” section.

CAUTION

The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are

•

Do not use leaded petrol. Leaded petrol will se-

riously damage three-way catalyst.

•

very hot. While the engine is running, keep

people or flammable materials away from the

exhaust pipe.

Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-

duce the three-way catalyst's ability to help

reduce exhaust pollutants.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable

materials such as dry grass, waste paper or

rags, as they may burn easily.

•

Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in

•

the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-

tems can cause over-rich fuel flow into the

converter, causing it to overheat.

When parking, ensure that people or

flammable materials are kept away from the

exhaust pipe.

•

Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.

Running out of fuel could cause the engine to

misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.

•

Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if

•

noticeable loss of performance or other un-

usual operating conditions are detected. Have

the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN

dealer or qualified workshop.

Do not race the engine while warming it up.

•

Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the

engine.

GASOLINE PARTICULATE FILTER

(GPF) (where fitted)

though there may be other engine manage-

ment malfunctions that may cause this light

to come on). Also, GPF saturation/clogging

may result in reduced engine performance

and engine speed limitation.

What you can do yourself to prevent the GPF from

becoming saturated/clogged:

If your vehicle is fitted with a petrol engine, a Gaso-

line Particulate Filter (GPF) (or Petrol Particulate Fil-

ter) may be fitted as part of the emission control

system.

Avoid repeated and frequent short journeys in

•

which the engine does not reach its normal op-

erating temperature.

The GPF filters carbon particles from the exhaust

gas, thus reducing the emission of soot to the envi-

ronment.

Regularly drive the vehicle at speeds over 60

km/h for an extended period of time (more than

30 minutes).

•

Under normal driving conditions, the accumulated

carbon particles in the GPF are burned-off regularly,

thus emptying the filter from carbon particles. In

this way, the GPF is “regenerated” and again fully

operational to filter out the carbon particles from

the exhaust gas as intended.

people of flammable materials away from the

exhaust pipe.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable

materials such as dry grass, waste paper or

•

Should the MIL or MWL come on for any rea-

son, or if the [Exhaust filter maintenance]

warning message appears in the vehicle in-

formation display, always visit a NISSAN dealer

or qualified workshop as soon as possible. Ex-

tended driving with the MIL/MWL illuminated

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM

CARE WHEN DRIVING

The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubri-

cation and cooling of its rotating components. The

turbocharger turbine turns at extremely high

speeds and it can reach an extremely high tempera-

ture. It is essential to maintain a flow of clean oil

through the turbocharger system. A sudden inter-

ruption to the oil supply may cause a malfunction in

the turbocharger.

Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-

sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you

should be the one who knows best how to drive in

the given circumstances.

DRIVING UNDER WINTER

CONDITIONS

Drive safely.

•

Avoid starting off, accelerating or stopping sud-

denly.

•

ENGINE COLD START PERIOD

Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is

cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-

ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after

starting the engine.

Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.

•

Avoid sudden steering actions.

•

To ensure prolonged life and performance of the

turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-

lowing maintenance procedure:

Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle

in front.

THE BSW AND INTELLIGENT BLIND

SPOT INTERVENTION SYSTEMS:

system is not a replacement for proper driving

procedure and is not designed to prevent con-

tact with vehicles or objects. When driving, al-

ways use the side and rear mirrors and always

turn your head and look in the direction you

will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.

Never rely solely on the BSW system.

SSD1030Z

Detection zone

The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side

of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as

illustrated. This detection zone starts from the out-

side mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-

mately 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and

approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) sideways.

There is a limitation to the detection capabil-

ity of the radar. Using the BSW and Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention systems under some

road, lane marker or weather conditions could

lead to improper system operation. Always

rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.

•

The BSW system operates above approximately 32

km/h (20 MPH). If the radar sensors detect vehicles

in the detection zone, the BSW LED indicator light

illuminates. If the driver then activates the turn sig-

nal, the system chimes a sound (twice) and the BSW

LED indicator light will flash.

NIC3802

The BSW system operates at speeds above

approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).

•

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelligent Blind

Spot Intervention systems can help alert the driver

of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing

lanes.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system oper-

ates above approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH). If the

radar detects a vehicle in the detection zone and

your vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the

systems chime a sound (three times), flashes the

BSW LED indicator light, and slightly applies the

brakes on one side for a short period of time to help

return the vehicle back to the travelling lane.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

operates at speeds above approximately 60

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system pro-

vides an audible warning and turns on or flashes

the BSW LED indicator light even if the BSW system

is off.

If the turn signal is then activated, the system

chimes (twice) and the BSW LED indicator light

flashes. The BSW LED indicator light continues to

flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection

zone.

BSW temporary disabled status

When radar blockage is detected, the BSW system

will be turned off automatically. The [Not available

Side radar obstructed] warning message will ap-

pear in the vehicle information display.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

The BSW LED indicator light illuminates for a few

seconds when the ignition is placed in the ON posi-

tion. The brightness of the side indicator light is ad-

justed automatically depending on the brightness

of ambient light.

The system is not available until the conditions no

longer exist.

The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary

ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist,

or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused

by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the

radar sensors.

If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the

driver activates the turn signal, then only the BSW

LED indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.

For additional information, see “Another vehicle ap-

proaching from behind” later in this section.

System malfunction

If the BSW system malfunctions, it will be turned off

automatically. The [Not available System Malfunc-

tion] warning message will appear and BSW indica-

tor (yellow) on in the vehicle information display.

be selected by the driver between approximately

30 and 160 km/h (20 and 100 MPH). If your speed

falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH) the ICC

system will cancel with a warning chime and a noti-

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

(manual transmission vehicles)

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is de-

signed to maintain a selected distance and reduce

the speed to match the slower vehicle ahead; the

system will decelerate the vehicle as necessary.

However, the ICC system can only apply up to ap-

proximately 40% of the vehicle's total braking

power. This system should only be used when traf-

fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly

constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually.

If a vehicle moves into the travelling lane ahead or if

a vehicle travelling ahead rapidly decelerates, the

distance between vehicles may become closer be-

cause the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle

quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system will

sound a warning chime and blink the system dis-

play to notify the driver to take necessary action.

The approach warning chime may sound and the

system display may blink when the radar sensor

detects objects on the side of the vehicle or on

the side of the road. This may cause the ICC sys-

tem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The

tem on roads with sharp curves, or on icy

roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

–

On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may

go beyond the set vehicle speed and fre-

quent braking may result in overheating

the brakes)

As there is a performance limit to the distance

control function, never rely solely on the ICC

system. This system does not correct careless,

inattentive or absent-minded driving, or over-

come poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad

weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by de-

pressing the brake pedal, depending on the

distance to the vehicle ahead and the

surrounding circumstances in order to main-

tain a safe distance between vehicles.

To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system

under the following conditions:

WARNING

The radar sensor will not detect the following ob-

jects:

Listed below are the system limitations for the

ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-

cordance with these system limitations could re-

sult in serious injury or death.

Stationary and slow moving vehicles

•

–

On roads where the traffic is heavy or there

are sharp curves

Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It is

not advisable to use the system in city traffic

or congested areas.

–

On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or

snow, etc.

Motorcycles and other vehicles travelling offset

in the travel lane

•

–

During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)

The sensor generally detects the signals returned

from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor can-

not detect the reflection from the vehicle ahead, the

ICC system may not maintain the selected distance.

This system will not adapt automatically to

road conditions. This system should be used

•

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the sys-

tem sensor

Starting and driving 247

The following are some conditions in which the sen-

sor cannot detect the signals:

When snow or road spray from travelling ve-

hicles reduces the sensor's visibility

•

When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the

rear seat or the luggage compartment of your

vehicle

•

When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.

•

The ICC system is designed to automatically check

the sensor's operation within the limitation of the

system. When the sensor is covered with dirt or is

obstructed, the system will automatically be can-

celled. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transpar-

ent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may

not detect them. In these instances, the vehicle-to-

vehicle distance control mode may not cancel and

may not be able to maintain the selected following

distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to check

and clean the sensor regularly.

NSD775

The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited. A

vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode to

maintain the selected distance from the vehicle

ahead.

A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection

zone due to its position within the same lane of

travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the same

lane ahead if they are travelling offset from the

centre line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the

lane ahead may not be detected until the vehicle

has completely moved into the lane. If this occurs,

the ICC system may warn you by blinking the sys-

tem indicator and sounding the chime. The driver

may have to manually control the proper distance

away from vehicle travelling ahead.

248 Starting and driving

Condition B:

The chime will sound and the [Not available Front

Radar Blocked] warning message will appear in the

vehicle information display.

When the radar sensor area is covered with dirt

or is obstructed, making it impossible to detect

a vehicle ahead, the ICC system is automatically

cancelled.

Action to take:

If the warning message appears, park the vehicle in

a safe place and turn the engine off. When the radar

signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor

area and restart the engine. The system will need

some time to detect that the sensor area is now

clean. If the warning message continues to be dis-

played, have the ICC system checked by a NISSAN

dealer or qualified workshop.

NSD679

When driving on some roads, such as winding, hilly,

curved, narrow roads, or roads which are under

construction, the radar sensor may detect vehicles

in a different lane, or may temporarily not detect a

vehicle travelling ahead. This may cause the ICC sys-

tem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.

ProPILOT ICC system operation

•

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is de-

signed to maintain a selected distance and reduce

the speed to match the slower vehicle ahead; the

system will decelerate the vehicle as necessary and

if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle

decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system

can only apply up to approximately 40% of the vehi-

cle's total braking power. This system should only

be used when traffic conditions allow vehicle

speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle

speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the

travelling lane ahead or if a vehicle travelling ahead

rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles

may become closer because the ICC system cannot

decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs,

the ICC system will sound a warning chime and blink

the system display to notify the driver to take nec-

essary action.

When driving on the motorway at a set speed and

approaching a slower travelling vehicle ahead, the

ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the dis-

tance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle ahead.

If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the mo-

torway, the ICC system accelerates and maintains

the speed up to the set speed. Pay attention to the

driving operation to maintain control of the vehicle

as it accelerates to the set speed.

When the vehicle travelling ahead moves to a

different travelling lane, while the vehicle speed

is above 30 km/h (20 MPH), the ICC system ac-

celerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the

set speed.

•

The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on

winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will have to

manually control the vehicle speed.

When the vehicle travelling ahead moves to a

different travelling lane, while the vehicle speed

is below 30 km/h (20 MPH), the ICC system can-

cels and a warning chime sounds.

Vehicle ahead stops:

When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop, your

vehicle decelerates to a standstill. Once your vehicle

stops, the ICC system automatically applies the

brakes to keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-

hicle is at a standstill, the [Press to start] message is

displayed on the Vehicle Information Display.

When passing another vehicle, the set speed indica-

tor flashes when you override ICC by pressing the

accelerator and the vehicle speed exceeds the set

speed. When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-

turns to the previously set speed. Even though your

vehicle speed is set in the ICC system, you can de-

press the accelerator pedal when it is necessary to

accelerate your vehicle rapidly.

Vehicle detected ahead:

When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the

ICC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling

the throttle and applying the brakes to match the

speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system

then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed

of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected

distance.

NOTE

When your vehicle stops for less than 3 seconds,

your vehicle will automatically follow the vehicle

ahead as it accelerates from a stop. If your vehicle

is stationary for more than approximately 3 min-

utes, the ICC system will be switched off and the

electronic parking brake will be applied.

NOTE

The brake lights of the vehicle come on when

braking is performed by the ICC system.

Approach warning:

NOTE

If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the ve-

hicle will accelerate up to the following speed of that

vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the left lane

to pass, the acceleration will stop after a short time

and regain the set following distance.

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead

due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if an-

other vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver

with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate

by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe

vehicle distance if:

The approach warning chime may sound and the

system display may flash when the radar sensor

detects objects on the side of the vehicle or on

the side of the road. This may cause the ICC sys-

tem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The

radar sensor may detect these objects when the

vehicle is driven on winding, narrow, or hilly roads

or when the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve.

In these cases, you will have to manually control

the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

Acceleration can be stopped at any point by de-

pressing the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch

on the steering wheel.

The chime sounds.

Passing on the right-hand side:

The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set

distance indicator blink.

•

When the ICC system is engaged above 60 km/h

(37 MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC

set speed), and the turn signal is activated to the

right, the ICC system will automatically start to ac-

celerate the vehicle to help initiate passing on the

right and will begin to reduce the distance to ve-

hicle directly ahead. Only the right side turn signal

operates this feature. As the driver steers the ve-

hicle and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle

is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to

accelerate to the ICC system set speed.

You judge it necessary to maintain a safe dis-

tance.

•

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by ve-

hicle operation (steering manoeuvre or driving po-

sition in the lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions (for

example, if a vehicle is being driven with some dam-

age).

The warning chime may not sound in some cases

when there is a short distance between vehicles.

Some examples are:

When the vehicles are travelling at the same

speed and the distance between vehicles is not

speed), and the turn signal is activated to the left,

the ICC system will automatically start to accelerate

the vehicle to help initiate passing on the left and

will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly

ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates this

feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves

into the passing lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead

the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the

ICC system set speed.

The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-

developed motorways or highways with

gentle (moderate) curves, where traffic travel-

ling in opposing directions is separated with a

barrier. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use

this system on local or non-highway roads.

ProPILOT Steering Assist operation

•

The Steering Assist controls the steering system to

help keep your vehicle near the centre of the lane

when driving. The Steering Assist is combined with

the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. For addi-

tional information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-

trol (ICC) (vehicles with ProPILOT)” earlier in this sec-

tion.

Do not strike or damage the areas around the

camera unit. Do not touch the camera lens or

remove the screw located on the camera unit.

The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to

maintain its position in the centre of a lane.

The vehicle will not steer to avoid objects in

the road in front of the vehicle or to avoid a

vehicle moving into your lane.

•

If the camera unit is damaged due to an accident,

have it checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified

workshop.

The Steering Assist can be activated when the fol-

lowing conditions are met:

The ICC system is activated and the speed set.

•

It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,

drive safely, keep the vehicle in the travelling

lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all

times. Never take your hands off the steering

wheel when driving. Always keep your hands

on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle

safely.

(ILI)

NSD1174

When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds the ca-

pabilities of the Steering Assist and your vehicle ap-

proaches either the left or the right side of the trav-

elling lane, the steering wheel vibrates, a warning

chime sounds and the ILI indicator light (yellow) on

the instrument panel flashes to alert the driver.

Then, the ILI system automatically applies the

brakes for a short period of time to help assist the

driver to avoid departing the lane and to return the

vehicle to the centre of the travelling lane. This ac-

tion is in addition to any Steering Assist actions. For

additional information, refer to “ProPILOT Intelligent

Lane Intervention system” later in this section.

function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-

proximately 60 km/h (37 MPH) and above (for Eu-

rope) or approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) (except

for Europe), and the lane markings are clear.

The LDW system is only a warning device to help

inform the driver of a potential unintended lane

departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent

loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to

stay alert,drive safely,keep the vehicle in the trav-

elling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all

times.Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance

with these limitations could result in serious in-

jury or death.

For Europe:

•

approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH)

Except for Europe:

•

approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH)

When the vehicle approaches either the left or the

right side of the travelling lane, the steering wheel

will vibrate, a chime will sound and the LDW indica-

tor on the vehicle information display will blink to

alert the driver.

The LDW system monitors the lane markers on the

travelling lane using the camera unit

above the inside mirror.

When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-

essary to avoid a collision.

If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the IEB

system will first provide a warning to the driver by

flashing the warning (white) in the vehicle informa-

tion display and providing an audible alert. In addi-

tion, the IEB system applies partial braking. If the

driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully, but

the IEB system detects that there is still the possi-

bility of a forward collision, the system will auto-

matically increase the braking force.

System Operation

The IEB system will function when your vehicle is

When the IEB system detects an obstacle in

the path of the vehicle and displays the IEB

warning, a noise may be heard from the en-

gine bay as the vehicle primes the brakes to

improve response time.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) system can

assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward

collision with the vehicle ahead in the travelling lane.

driven at speeds above approximately

(3 MPH).

5 km/h

If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the IEB

system will first provide a warning to the driver by

flashing the warning (white) in the Vehicle Informa-

tion Display and providing an audible alert.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the ve-

hicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway condi-

tions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-

ward collision or may help mitigate the

consequences of a collision should one be unavoid-

able.

If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully

after the warning, and the IEB system detects that

there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the

system will automatically increase the braking force.

If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-

ating or braking, the IEB system will function later

or will not function.

If the driver does not take action, the IEB system

issues the second visual warning (red) and audible

warning, then the system applies partial braking

TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)

When towing a trailer and the turn signal switch is

used, the electrical system of the vehicle will detect

an additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As

a result, the trailer direction indicator light comes

on.

Speed: below 100 km/h (62 MPH)

CAUTION

Do not exceed the maximum permitted vertical

load on the trailer hitch.

While towing a trailer, check the engine coolant

temperature gauge regularly to prevent engine

overheating.

•

INSTALLATION OF COUPLING

DEVICE

NISSAN recommends that the coupling device for

trailer towing be installed under the following con-

ditions:

Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-

tem of the trailer works properly.

TYRE PRESSURE

Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration and stops.

Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.

•

When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the

maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure, as in-

dicated on the tyre placard (for full loading). Make

sure the trailer tyre pressures are correct.

Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.

Maximum permissible vertical load on the cou-

pling device: 736 N (75 kg, 165 lb)

•

Always block the wheels on both vehicle and

trailer when parking. Apply the handbrake

(where fitted) on the trailer. Parking on a steep

slope is not recommended.

The coupling device,mounting points and instal-

lation parts on your vehicle: as shown as an ex-

ample in the illustration.

•

CAUTION

Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed

with a temporary-use spare tyre.

If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable it is

also advisable to put the vehicle into gear, or se-

lect P (Park (Automatic (DCT) models)), and turn

the front wheels into the kerb (in addition to the

other precautions described). Before parking on

a steep slope consider the incline (the towing

weights quoted are for a 12% slope).

Follow all of the coupling device manufacturer's in-

structions for installation and use.

SAFETY CHAINS

Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle and

trailer. The chain should be attached to the hitch

and not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to

leave enough slack in the chain to permit turning

corners. The chain should not drag on the ground:

passing the chain across the trailer hitch may be

the best practice depending on your trailer.

Follow the trailer manufacturer's instructions.

•

Have your vehicle serviced more often than at

the intervals specified in the separately provided

Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet.

TRAILER BRAKES

Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required

by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer

equipment conforms to local regulations.

Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-

mal circumstances because of a considerable

increase in traction power required and resis-

tance.

WARNING

If the engine is not running or is turned off

while driving, the power assistance for the

steering will not work. The steering will be

harder to operate.

•

If the electric power steering warning light

il-

luminates while the engine is running, it may indi-

cate the electric power steering system is not func-

tioning properly and may need servicing. Have the

electric power steering system checked by a NISSAN

dealer or qualified workshop. (See “ Electric Power

Steering warning light” in the “2. Instruments and

When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly

or continuously while parking or driving at a very

low speed, the power assistance for the steering

wheel will be reduced.This is to prevent overheat-

ing of the electric power steering system and pro-

tect it from becoming damaged. While the power

assistance is reduced, steering wheel operation

will become heavy. When the temperature of the

electric power steering system decreases, the

powerassistancelevelwillreturntonormal.Avoid

repeating such steering wheel operations that

could cause the electric power steering system

to overheat.

BRAKE SYSTEM

The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-

cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, two wheels will still

have braking ability.

downhill gradient. Overheated brakes may reduce

braking performance and could result in loss of ve-

hicle control.

Driving downhill

The engine braking action is effective for control-

ling the vehicle while descending hills.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brake

The brake booster aids braking by using engine

vacuum or vacuum from an engine-driven pump. If

the engine stops or the drive belt is broken, 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 the stopping

distance will be longer.

The shift lever (MT models) should be placed in a

gear position low enough to obtain sufficient en-

gine braking.

CAUTION

While driving on a slippery surface, be careful

when braking, accelerating or downshifting.

Abrupt braking actions or sudden acceleration

could cause the wheels to skid and result in an

accident.

For Automatic (DCT) transmission models, a low

gear position in the manual shift mode, low enough

to obtain sufficient engine braking, should be se-

lected.

Be aware that brakes will fade if repeated heavy

brake applications are made.

Wet brakes

Driving uphill

When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-

ter, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your braking

distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull to

one side during braking.

When starting on a steep gradient, it is sometimes

difficult to operate the brake or both the brake and

clutch (MT models). Use the parking brake to hold

the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch (MT models). When

ready to start, make sure that the shift lever is in an

appropriate forward or reverse driving position,

slowly release the parking brake while depressing

the accelerator pedal and releasing the clutch (MT

models) or depressing the accelerator pedal (Auto-

matic (DCT) transmission models). If your vehicle

has an electric parking brake, this will automatically

release when you depress the accelerator pedal and

release the clutch (MT models) or depress the accel-

erator pedal (Automatic (DCT) transmission mod-

els).

To dry 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.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while

driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the

brake linings and pads faster and reduce fuel

economy performance.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the

brakes from overheating, reduce speed and shift to

a lower gear before going down a slope or long

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

(ABS)

maintain steering control and helps to minimise

swerving and spinning on slippery surfaces.

NORMAL OPERATION

WARNING

The ABS operates at speeds above 5 to 10 km/h

(3 to 6 MPH). The speed varies according to road

conditions.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a so-

•

USING SYSTEM

phisticated device, but it cannot prevent acci-

dents resulting from careless or dangerous

driving techniques. It can help maintain ve-

hicle control during braking on slippery sur-

faces. Remember that stopping distances on

slippery surfaces will be longer than on nor-

mal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping

distances may also be longer on rough, gravel

or snow covered roads, or if you are using

snow chains. Always maintain a safe distance

from the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the

driver is responsible for safety.

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depress

the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do

not pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to pre-

vent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle

to avoid obstacles.

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are

close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and

releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to

pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel a pul-

sation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from un-

der the bonnet or feel a vibration from the actuator

when it is operating. This is normal and indicates

that the ABS is operating properly. However, the pul-

sation may indicate that road conditions are haz-

ardous and extra care is required while driving.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may re-

sult in increased stopping distances.

SELF-TEST FEATURE

Tyre type and condition may also affect brak-

ing effectiveness.

•

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps,

hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The computer

has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the sys-

tem 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 malfunction, it switches the ABS

off and illuminates the ABS warning light on the in-

strument panel. The brake system then operates

normally, but without anti-lock assistance.

–

When replacing tyres, install the specified

size of tyres on all four wheels.

When installing a spare tyre, make sure

that it is the proper size and type as speci-

fied on the tyre placard. (See “Vehicle

identification” in the “9. Technical

information” section.)

–

For detailed information, see “Wheels and

tyres” in the “8. Maintenance and

do-it-yourself” section.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-

test or while driving, have the vehicle checked by a

NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the

brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brak-

ing or when braking on slippery surfaces. The sys-

tem detects the rotation speed at each wheel and

varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each

wheel from locking and sliding. By preventing each

wheel from locking, the system helps the driver

316 Starting and driving

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP) SYSTEM (where fitted)

When accelerating, driving on slippery surfaces or

suddenly avoiding obstacles on roads, the vehicle

might swerve or slip. The Electronic Stability Pro-

gramme (ESP) system continuously monitors and

compares the driver's intended speed and the travel

direction. The system adjusts wheel brake pressure

and engine torque to assist in improving vehicle

stability.

If the vehicle is operated with the ESP system turned

off, all ESP and TCS functions will be turned off. The

Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) system and ABS will

still operate with the ESP system off. If the Active

COLD WEATHER DRIVING

3) Snow chains may be used, if desired. But the use

of snow chains may be prohibited in some ar-

eas. Therefore, check the local laws before in-

stalling snow chains. When installing snow

chains, make sure they are of proper size for the

tyres on your vehicle and are installed according

to the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.

Use chain tensioners when recommended by

the snow chain manufacturer to ensure a tight

fit. Loose end links of the snow chain must be

secured or removed to prevent the possibility of

whipping action damage to the wings or under-

carriage. In addition, drive at a reduced speed,

otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/

or vehicle handling and performance may be ad-

versely affected.

BATTERY

WARNING

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 details, see “Battery” in the “8. Mainte-

nance and do-it-yourself” section.

Whatever the conditions, drive with caution.

•

Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If

accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive

wheels will lose even more traction.

Allow more stopping distance in cold weather

driving.Braking should be started sooner than

on dry surfaces.

•

ENGINE COOLANT

Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle in

front of you on slippery roads.

•

If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,

drain the cooling system. Refill before operating the

vehicle. For details, see “Engine cooling system” in

the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.

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

•

snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to

drive on. The vehicle will have a lot less trac-

tion or grip under these conditions. Try to

avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted

or sanded.

TYRE EQUIPMENT

1) The SUMMER tyres are of a tread design to pro-

vide superior performance on dry surfaces.

However, the performance of these tyres will be

substantially reduced in snowy and icy condi-

tions. If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy

roads, NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &

SNOW or ALL SEASON tyres on all four wheels.

Please consult a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-

shop for tyre type, size, speed rating and avail-

ability information.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT

It is recommended to carry the following items in

the vehicle during winter:

Watch for slippery spots (black ice). These may

•

appear on an otherwise clear road in shaded

areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead, brake

before driving on it. Try not to brake while ac-

tually on the ice and avoid any sudden steer-

ing manoeuvres.

A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice

and snow from the windows.

•

A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack

to give it firm support.

•

Do not use cruise control (where fitted) on slip-

•

A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.

•

pery roads.

2) For additional traction on icy roads, studded ty-

res may be used. However, some countries, prov-

inces and states prohibit their use. Check appli-

cable laws before installing studded tyres.

Extra windscreen washer fluid to refill the reser-

voir tank.

•

Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under

your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust

pipe and from around your vehicle.

•

CAUTION

Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow

tyres on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer

than that of non-studded snow tyres.

322 Starting and driving

CORROSION PROTECTION

Chemicals used for road surface de-icing are ex-

tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion and

the deterioration of underbody components such

as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake

cables, floor pan, and wings.

In the winter, the underbody must be cleaned pe-

riodically. For additional information, see “Corro-

sion protection” in the “7. Appearance and care”

section.

For additional protection against rust and corro-

sion, which may be required in some areas, consult

a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
