stead drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.
쐌 Before operating the vehicle, ensure
that the driver and all passengers
have their seat belts fastened.
쐌 Always drive with the floor mats in
place as the floor may become hot.
쐌 Lower your speed when encountering
strong crosswinds. With a higher
center of gravity, your NISSAN is
more affected by strong side winds.
Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
쐌 Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with AWD
engaged.
Accelerating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may
cause loss of control.
쐌 If at all possible, avoid sharp turning
maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. Your NISSAN all wheel drive
vehicle has a higher center of gravity
than a two-wheel drive vehicle. The
vehicle is not designed for cornering
at the same speeds as conventional
two-wheel drive vehicles. Failure to
operate this vehicle correctly could
result in loss of control and/or a
rollover accident.
쐌 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 slip-
pery roads and drive carefully.
쐌 Be sure to check the brakes immedi-
ately after driving in mud or water.
See “Brake system” later in this sec-
tion for wet brakes.
쐌 Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle and
it rolls forward, backward or side-
ways, you could be injured.
쐌 Whenever you drive off-road through
sand, mud or water as deep as the
wheel hub, more frequent mainte-
nance may be required. See “Peri-
odic maintenance” in the “Service
and Maintenance Guide”.
쐌 Do not drive continuously on sandy
or muddy roads with the front wheels
spinning. The AWD warning light
blinks and the driving mode changes
to 2WD. This could reduce traction
force remarkably. Be especially care-
ful when towing a trailer. (AWD mod-
els)
쐌 Do not use 2-wheel chassis dyna-
mometers or 2-wheel free rollers.
(AWD models)
쐌 Never operate the accelerator pedal
with the front wheels raised and the
rear wheels on the ground while jack-
ing up or with the front wheels on the
roller and the rear wheels on the
ground. Otherwise, the vehicle could
jump. (AWD models)
쐌 When a wheel is suspended due to
running off the road, do not idle the
wheel excessively. (AWD models)
쐌 When the vehicle is on a free roller or
the front or rear wheels are jacked
