They have higher ground clearance than pas-  
senger cars to make them capable of perform-  
ing in a wide variety of on-pavement and off-  
road applications. This gives them a higher  
center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advan-  
tage 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  
passenger cars any more than low-slung  
sports cars are designed to perform satisfac-  
torily under off-road conditions. If at all possi-  
ble, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers,  
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.

9. After resetting the TPMS, drive the vehicle  
for several minutes at speeds above 25  
km/h (16 MPH).  
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates  
after the resetting operation, it may indicate  
that the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have  
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.  
For information regarding the low tire pressure  
warning light, see “Low tire pressure warning  
light” (P.2-15).  
Perform the following procedures to reset the  
TPMS.  
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.  
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift  
lever in the “P” (Park) position (CVT model)  
or “N” (Neutral) position (MT model).  
3. Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires to  
the recommended COLD tire pressure  
shown on the tire placard. Use  
a tire  
pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.  
CAUTION:  
4. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-  
tion.

Do not drive on dry hard surface roads in  
LOCK mode. (Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)/All-  
Wheel Drive (AWD) model)  
Driving on dry hard surface roads in LOCK  
mode may cause unnecessary noise and  
tire wear. NISSAN recommends driving in  
the 2WD or AUTO mode under these  
conditions. (Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)/All-  
Wheel Drive (AWD) model)  
See “Intelligent 4x4 (if equipped except for  
Korea)” (P.5-28) or “Intelligent 4x4 (if equipped  
for Korea)” (P.5-32) for more details.

CARE WHEN DRIVING  
Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is  
essential for your safety and comfort. As a  
driver, you should be the one who knows best  
how to drive in the given circumstances.  
DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS  
WARNING:  
.
.
.
Drive cautiously.  
Never remove the key or place the ignition  
switch in the “LOCK” position while driving.  
The steering wheel will lock and could cause  
the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This  
could result in serious vehicle damage or  
personal injury.  
Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.  
Avoid sharp turning or lane changing

.
Avoid sudden steering.  
Due to the higher engine speeds, when the  
engine is cold, extra caution must be exercised  
when selecting a gear during the engine warm-  
up period after starting the engine.  
Avoid following too close to the vehicle in  
front.

LOADING LUGGAGE  
Loads and their distribution and the attach-  
ment of equipment (coupling devices, roof  
luggage carriers, etc.) will considerably change  
the driving characteristics of the vehicle. Your  
driving style and speed must be adjusted  
according to the circumstances.  
DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS

Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.  
Avoid sharp turning or lane changing

Avoid following too close to the vehicle in

When water covers the road surface with water  
puddles, small water streams, etc., reduce  
speed to prevent hydroplaning which can  
cause skidding and loss of control. Worn tires  
will increase this risk.  
The ignition lock is designed so that the  
ignition switch cannot be turned to the “LOCK”  
position until the shift lever is moved to the “P”  
(Park) position. When moving the ignition  
switch to the “LOCK” position, to remove the  
key from the ignition switch, make sure the  
shift lever is in the “P” (Park) position.  
When the ignition switch cannot be turned to  
the “LOCK” position:  
1. Move the shift lever to the “P” (Park)  
position.  
2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the “ON”  
direction.
