5-32 Starting and driving
. Always drive with the floor mats in place as
the floor may become very hot. Particular
care should be taken if you are barefoot.
. Lower your speed when encountering
strong crosswinds. With its higher center
of gravity, your vehicle is more affected by
gusty side winds. Slower speeds ensure
better vehicle control.
. Do not drive beyond the performance of
the tires even with 4WD.
Sudden acceleration, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may cause
loss of control.
. Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Install tire chains on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive care-
fully.
. Be sure to check the brakes immediately
after driving in mud or water. (See “Brake
system” (P.5-103).)
. Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,
more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired. For details, refer to “Maintenance for
off-road driving” in a separate maintenance
booklet.
. Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If
you get out of the vehicle and it rolls
forward, backward or sideways, you could
be injured.
TIRES OF 4WD MODEL
T32A130827-AE5C0353-CEE0-4F0C-8B42-DD14B0A90107
CAUTION:
. Always use tires of the same size, brand,
construction (bias, bias-belted or radial),
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a circum-
ference difference between tires on the
front and rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may damage
the transmission, transfer case and rear
differential gears.
. Only use spare tires specified for each
4WD model.
If excessive tire wear is found, it is recom-
mended that all four tires be replaced with tires
of the same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern. The tire pressure and wheel alignment
should also be checked and corrected as
necessary. Contact a NISSAN dealer.
Snow tires
T32A130827-786C9A7D-5F2C-4C44-8252-7577B2315AD6
If you install snow tires, they must also be the
same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
Tire inflation pressure
T32A130827-02F5E13F-EB84-4678-B8E3-01C847020459
Check the pressures in all tires, including the
spare, with a gauge periodically when at a
service station. Adjust to the specified pressure
if necessary. Tire pressures are shown on the
tire placard.
Tire rotation
T32A130827-BCA9ABF3-4A1A-425E-8276-807FAAD0A08E
NISSAN recommends that tires be rotated
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). Do not include
the spare tire in the tire rotation.
Tire chain
T32A130827-612057E2-0991-4824-9088-F44BB593B9BC
Tire chains must be installed only on the
front wheels and not on the rear wheels.
Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads
which are clear of snow. Driving with chains in
such conditions can cause damage to the
various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some
overstress.
Condition: 'Except for China'/
