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 wide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is a better view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering 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
injured than a person who is wearing a seat belt.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system. In the converter,
exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION
•
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. While the engine is running, keep
people or flammable materials away from the
exhaust pipe.
•
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags, as they may burn easily.
•
When parking, ensure that people or flam-
mable materials are kept away from the ex-
haust pipe.
TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE
CAUTION
•
Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically
the recommended type. For details, see “Ca-
pacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
•
Do not use leaded petrol. Leaded petrol will
seriously damage three-way catalyst.
Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
•
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.
•
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.
