Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
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.
CAUTION:
. 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

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.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
T32A130827-423ABF28-182C-4532-8735-2CF508C400B5
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.

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
T32A130827-9C65E705-D46A-4F87-85ED-94B9DB9A0814
. Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.
. Avoid sharp turning or lane changing
suddenly.
. Avoid following too close to the vehicle in
front.
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.
