PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad- justed and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced.
WARNING ● Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly re- strained in the rear seat and, if appro- priate, in a child restraint. WARNING ● The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit.
WARNING ● Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. ● Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NO T THE WAIST .
PREGNANT WOMEN NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and always position the lap belt as low as possible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
䊊 2 Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. ● The retractor is designed to lock during a sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling motion permits the seat belt to move, and allows you some freedom of movement in the seat.
WARNING When fastening the seat belts, be certain that the seatbacks are completely se- cured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop. Unfastening the seat belts 䊊 1 T o unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the buckle.
Center of the rear seat (except SE-R model) The rear seat center seat belt has a connector tongue 䊊 1 and a seat belt tongue 䊊 2 . Both the connector tongue and the seat belt tongue must be securely latched for proper seat belt opera- tion. WARNING ● Always fasten the connector tongue and the seat belt in the order shown.
Stowing the rear center seat belt When folding down the rear seat, the center seat belt can be retracted into a stowed position as follows: 䊊 1 Hold the connector tongue so that the seat belt does not retract suddenly when the tongue is released from the connector buckle.
Attaching the rear center seat belt Always be sure the center seat belt connector tongue and connector buckle are attached. Dis- connect only when folding down the rear seat. T o connect the buckle: 䊊 1 Pull out the connector buckle from the fabric sleeve.
WARNING ● After adjustment, release the adjust- ment button and try to move the shoul- der belt anchor up and down to make sure it is securely fixed in position.
Children need adults to help protect them. They need to be properly restrained. In addition to the general information in this manual, child safety information is available from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, government traffic safety offices, and community organizations.
LARGER CHILDREN Children who are too large for child restraints should be seated and restrained by the seat belts which are provided. The seat belt may not fit properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in (142.5 cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18 kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg) .
WARNING ● Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use and installa- tion of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision: – The child restraint must be used and installed properly.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint anchor system, referred to as the LA T CH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) sys- tem. Some child restraints include rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be con- nected to these anchors.
LA T CH lower anchor WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and instruc- tions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious in- jury or death of a child or other passen- gers in a sudden stop or collision: – Attach LA TCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown in the illustration.
The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing the child restraint with the LA T CH lower anchor attachments or seat belts. See “T op tether anchor” for installation instructions. When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING LA T CH Refer to all W arnings and Cautions in the “Child safety” and “Child restraints” sections before in- stalling a child restraint. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the LA T CH system: 1.
3. For child restraints that are equipped with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attach- ments. Press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your hand to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while tightening the webbing of the anchor attachments.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS WARNING ● The three-point seat belt with Auto- matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used when installing a child restraint. Failure to use the ALR mode will result in the child restraint not being properly secured.
2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child restraint and insert it into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in- structions for belt routing. 3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended.
5. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt. 6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach- ments to the LA T CH lower anchors. Check to make sure the LA T CH attachment is prop- erly attached to the lower anchors. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether strap, route the top tether strap and secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the LA T CH attachment path. The child re- straint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side.
2. P osition the child restraint on the seat. Al- ways follow the child restraint manufactur- er’s instructions. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If necessary , adjust or remove the head re- straint or headrest to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
5. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt. 6. Remove any additional slack from the seat belt; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint with your knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while pulling up on the seat belt.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2 through 8. 10. If the child restraint is installed in the front passenger seat, place the ignition switch in the ON position.
INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP First, secure the child restraint with the LA T CH lower anchors (rear outboard seat positions only) or the seat belt, as applicable. 1. Flip up the anchor cover 䊊 1 from the anchor point which is located directly behind the child seat.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any booster seat, keep the following points in mind: ● Choose only a booster seat with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor V ehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor V ehicle Safety Standard 213.
Booster seat installation CAUTION Do not use the lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking Retractor mode when using a booster seat with the seat belts. Refer to all W arnings and Cautions in the “Child safety” , “Child restraints” and “Booster seats” sections before installing a child restraint.
If the seating position does not have an adjustable head restraint or headrest and it is interfering with the proper booster seat fit, try another seating position or a different booster seat. 4. P osition the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips.

5 Starting and driving Precautions when starting and driving ................5 - 2 Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) ..................5 - 2 Three-way catalyst ..............................5 - 2 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if so equipped) ...
WARNING ● Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left alone. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
CAUTION ● Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits from leaded gasoline will seriously re- duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust pollutants. ● Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc- tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical systems can cause overrich fuel flow into the three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat.
● The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) . Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving) . ● The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted for all 4 tires.
Some examples are: – Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies are near the vehicle. – If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle. – If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle.
● If you decide that it is not safe to return the vehicle to the road surface based on vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in a safe place off the road. RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged due to hitting a curb or pothole.
WARNING ● Never remove or turn the key to the LOCK position while driving. The steer- ing wheel will lock (for models with a steering lock mechanism) . This may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and could result in serious ve- hicle damage or personal injury.
Operating range The Intelligent K ey functions can only be used when the Intelligent K ey is within the specified operating range. When the Intelligent K ey battery is almost dis- charged or strong radio waves are present near the operating location, the Intelligent K ey sys- tem’s operating range becomes narrower and may not function properly .
● When removing the key from the ignition switch, make sure the shift selector is in the P (Park) position. When the ignition switch cannot be turned to the L OCK position: 1. Shift the shift selector to the P (Park) posi- tion. 2. T urn the ignition switch slightly in the ON direction.
In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it must be turned about 1/8 of a turn clockwise from the straight up position. T o lock the steering wheel (for models with steering lock mechanism) , place the igni- tion switch in the LOCK position. Remove the key.
● Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear. ● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool- ant, brake and clutch fluid, and windshield- washer fluid as frequently as possible, or at least whenever you refuel. ● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
3. Crank the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal by turning the ignition switch to ST ART . Release the switch when the engine starts. If the engine starts, but fails to run, repeat the above procedure.
The CVT in your vehicle is electronically con- trolled to produce maximum power and smooth operation. The recommended operating procedures for this transmission are shown on the following pages. Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle performance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING Apply the parking brake if the shift selec- tor is in any position while the engine is not running. Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away and result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Manual shift mode (if so equipped) When the manual shift mode button 䊊 A is pressed with the vehicle stopped or while driving, the transmission enters the manual shift mode. Shift ranges can be selected manually using the paddles on the steering wheel 䊊 B and 䊊 C .
● In the manual shift mode, the transmis- sion may shift up automatically to a higher range than selected if the en- gine speed is too high. When the ve- hicle speed decreases, the transmis- sion automatically shifts down. The transmission shifts to M1 (1st) gear before the vehicle comes to a com- plete stop.
Overdrive (O/D) OFF switch When the O/D OFF switch is pushed with the shift selector in the D (Drive) position, the light in the instrument panel illuminates. See “Overdrive off indicator light (CVT models)” in the “Instruments and controls” section of this manual.
CAUTION ● Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This may cause clutch damage. ● Fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting to help prevent transmission damage. ● Stop your vehicle completely before shifting into R (Reverse) .
Suggested maximum speed in each gear Downshift to a lower gear if the engine is not running smoothly , or if you need to accelerate. Do not exceed the maximum suggested speed (shown below) in any gear. For level road driving, use the highest gear suggested for that speed.
T o engage: Pull the lever up 䊊 A . T o release: 1. Firmly apply the foot brake. 2. Manual transmission models: Place the shift selector in the N (Neutral) position. CVT models: Move the shift selector to the P (Park) position. 3. While pulling up on the parking brake lever slightly , push the button and lower com- pletely 䊊 B .
CAUTION On manual transmission models, do not shift into N (Neutral) without depressing the clutch pedal when the cruise control is set. Should this occur, depress the clutch pedal and turn the main switch off imme- diately. Failure to do so may cause engine damage.
CAUTION During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) , follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and en- sure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in short- ened engine life and reduced engine performance.
WARNING ● Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire. ● Safe parking procedures require that both the parking brake be set and the transmission placed into P (Park) for CVT models or in an appropriate gear for manual transmission models.
WARNING ● If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the steering will not work. Steering will be harder to operate. ● When the power steering warning light illuminates with the engine running, there will be no power assist for the steering.
WARNING ● While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt braking or accel- erating could cause the wheels to skid and result in an accident. ● If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work.
WARNING Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may result in increased stopping distances. Self-test feature The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
When the VDC system is operating, you may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from under the hood. This is normal and indicates that the VDC system is working prop- erly .
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK T o prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de- icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key hole, the remote keyless entry keyfob (if so equipped) or the NISSAN Intelligent K ey™ (if so equipped) .

● GVW (Gross V ehicle W eight) - curb weight plus the combined weight of passengers and cargo. ● GVWR (Gross V ehicle W eight Rat- ing) - maximum total combined weight of the unloaded vehicle, pas- sengers, luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment.
Steps for determining correct load limit 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle.
WARNING Overloading or improper loading of a trailer and its cargo can adversely affect vehicle handling, braking and perfor- mance and may lead to accidents. CAUTION ● Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy load for the first 500 miles (800 km) . Y our engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
T emperature conditions can also affect towing. For example, towing a heavy trailer in high outside temperatures on graded roads can affect engine performance and cause overheating. The engine protection mode, which helps reduce the chance of engine damage, could activate and automati- cally decrease engine power.
T owing capacities are calculated assuming a base vehicle with driver and any options required to achieve the rating. Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional equipment, such as the trailer hitch, will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity and trailer tongue load.
T OWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION T OWING LOAD / SPECIFICATION UNIT : lb (kg) MAXIMUM T OWING L OAD *1 1,000 (454) MAXIMUM T ONGUE L OAD 100 (45) *1: The towing capacity values are calculated assuming a base vehicle with driver and any options required to achieve the rating.
CAUTION ● Do not use axle-mounted hitches. ● The hitch should not be attached to or affect the operation of the impact- absorbing bumper. ● Do not modify the vehicle exhaust sys- tem, brake system, etc .
WARNING Never connect a trailer brake system di- rectly to the vehicle brake system. Pre-towing tips ● Be certain your vehicle maintains a level position when a loaded and/or unloaded trailer is hitched.
T o drive away: 1. Start the vehicle. 2. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 3. Shift the transmission into gear. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are clear from the blocks. 6. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
● Some states or provinces have specific regulations and speed limits for vehicles that are towing trailers. Obey the local speed limits. ● Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness con- nections, and trailer wheel lug nuts after 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at every break.
DO T (Department of T ransportation) Quality Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
