WARNING ● Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. Y ou could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
Forward and backward Pull the lever up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the lever to lock the seat in position. Reclining T o recline the seatback, pull the lever up and lean back. T o bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward.
FRONT POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped) Operating tips ● The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate the switch. ● Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the engine is off.
Seat lifter (driver’s seat) Push the front or rear end of the switch up or down to adjust the angle and height of the seat cushion. Lumbar support (if so equipped for driver’s seat) The lumbar support feature provides lower back support to the driver.
HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUSTMENT T o raise the head restraint, pull it up s 2 . T o lower, push and hold the lock knob s 1 and push the head restraint down s 2 . The head restraints on the rear seats are remov- able. WARNING Head restraints should be adjusted prop- erly as they may provide significant pro- tection against injury in an accident.
● Do not attach anything to the head re- straint stalks. Doing so could impair Active Head Restraint function. The Active Head Restraint moves forward utiliz- ing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision.
● Properly secure all cargo to help pre- vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
WARNING ● If you fold the front passenger’s seat- back flat forward to carry longer ob- jects, be sure this cargo is properly se- cured and not near an air bag. In a crash, an inflating air bag might force that object toward a person. This could cause severe injury or even death.
s 3 Repeat this process to raise and secure the seat cushion on the other side of the vehicle for maximum storage capacity . T o return the rear bench seat to a seating posi- tion, reverse the process. Make sure to prop- erly push the seat cushion down into place.
WARNING Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down position. Use of these areas by passengers without proper restraints could result in serious injury in an acci- dent or sudden stop.
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 .
CHILD SAFETY 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.
restraint that fits your vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. 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.
Fastening the seat belts (Front seats all models and rear seats Crew cab models) s 1 Adjust the seat. See “Seats” earlier in this section. s 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 Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode allows the seat belt to extend and retract to allow the driver and passengers some freedom of movement in the seat.
s 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.
Unfastening the seat belts s 1 T o unfasten the seat belt, press the button on the buckle. The seat belt automatically re- tracts. Checking seat belt operation Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt movement by two separate methods: ● When the seat belt is pulled quickly from the retractor.
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.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RESTRAINTS WARNING ● Infants and small children should al- ways be placed in an appropriate child restraint while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can re- sult in serious injury or death. ● Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap.
● If the child restraint is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being in- jured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases. ● Child restraint anchor points are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints.
LA T CH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with special anchor points that are used with LA T CH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren) system compatible child restraints.
Installing child restraint LA T CH anchor attachments LA T CH compatible child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to two anchors located at certain seating positions in your vehicle. With this sys- tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.
T op tether anchor point locations Anchor points are located in the following loca- tions: ● On the back of the front passenger seat (King cab only) . ● On the floor between the jump seat belt buckles in the center of the vehicle (King cab only) .
1. Cover plate 2. T op tether strap routing bracket 3. T op tether strap anchor point The anchor point is located on the floor between the jump seat belt buckles in the center of the vehicle. The routing bracket is located behind the cover plate under the rear window above the right passenger’s side jump seat.
Rear bench seat (Crew cab models only) The anchor points are located under the rear window behind the rear bench seat. If you have any questions when installing a top strap child restraint on the rear seat, consult your NISSAN dealer for details. 1. Pull strap 2.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any slack. For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint installation instructions in this section and the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
If the seating position does not have an adjust- able head restraint and it is interfering with the proper child restraint fit, try another seating posi- tion or a different child restraint. 4. For child restraints that are equipped with webbing-mounted attachments, remove any additional slack from the anchor attach- ments.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2 through 6. Rear-facing Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the LA T CH system: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
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.
CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS – FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR BENCH SEAT (Crew cab models only) WARNING ● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Front air bags inflate with great force.
Front-facing Follow these steps to install a front-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear bench seat (Crew cab models only) or in the front passenger seat: 1. If you must install a child restraint in the front seat, it should be placed in a front-facing direction only.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.
7. 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. See “T op tether strap child restraint” earlier in this section. Do not install child restraints that require the use of a top tether strap to seating positions that do not have a top tether anchor.
Rear-facing Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear bench seat (Crew cab models only): 1. Child restraints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and therefore must not be used in the front seat.
4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt. 5. Remove any additional slack from the child restraint; press downward and rearward firmly in the center of the child restraint to compress the vehicle seat cushion and seat- back while pulling up on the seat belt.
7. Check that the retractor is in the ALR mode by trying to pull more seat belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more seat belt webbing out of the retractor, the retrac- tor is in the ALR mode. 8. Check to make sure that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use.

THREE-WAY CATALYST The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants. WARNING ● The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys- tem are very hot.
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal- function exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER WARNING Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident. Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
WARNING The following actions can increase the chance of losing control of the vehicle if there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure. Losing control of the vehicle may cause a collision and result in personal injury. ● The vehicle generally moves or pulls in the direction of the flat tire.
● Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down them, you may not be able to control your speed. If you drive across them, you may roll over. ● Do not shift gears while driving on downhill grades as this could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
● Do not attempt to test a 4WD equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer (such as the dynamometers used by some states for emissions testing) , or similar equipment even if the other two wheels are raised off the ground. Make sure you inform test facility personnel that your vehicle is equipped with 4WD before it is placed on a dynamometer.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (if so equipped) The ignition lock is designed so the key cannot be turned to the LOCK position and removed until the shift selector is moved to the P (Park) posi- tion. When removing the key from the ignition, make sure the shift selector is in the P (Park) position.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so equipped) The ignition switch includes a device that helps prevent accidental removal of the key while driv- ing. The key can only be removed when the ignition switch is in the L OCK position.
● Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear. ● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool- ant, brake fluid, and window washer fluid as frequently as possible, or at least whenever you refuel. ● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (if so equipped) WARNING ● Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neu- tral) to R (Reverse) , D (Drive) , 3, 2 or 1. Always depress the brake pedal until shifting is completed. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control and have an accident.
WARNING Apply the parking brake if the selector lever 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.
1 (Low gear) : Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly or slow driving through deep snow , sand or mud, or for maximum engine braking on steep downhill grades. Do not downshift into the 1 position at speeds over the following and do not exceed the follow- ing speeds in the 1 position.
Accelerator downshift — in D position — For passing or hill climbing, depress the accel- erator pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmis- sion down into a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed. Overdrive switch Each time your vehicle is started, the transmis- sion is automatically “reset” to overdrive ON.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so equipped) WARNING ● Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This may cause a loss of control. ● Do not over-rev the engine when shift- ing to a lower gear. This may cause a loss of control or engine damage. CAUTION ● Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Suggested upshift speeds The following are suggested vehicle speeds for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions relate to fuel economy and vehicle performance. Actual upshift speeds will vary according to road conditions, the weather and individual driving habits.
WARNING ● Be sure the parking brake is fully re- leased before driving. Failure to do so can cause brake failure and lead to an accident. ● Do not release the parking brake from outside the vehicle. ● Do not use the gear shift in place of the parking brake.
1. ACCEL/RES switch 2. COAST/SET switch 3. ON/OFF switch 4. CANCEL switch PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL ● If the cruise control system malfunctions, it cancels automatically. The SET indicator light in the instrument panel then blinks to warn the driver.
● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills. If this happens, drive without the cruise control. T o cancel the preset speed, use one of the following three methods. ● Push the CANCEL button; the SET indicator light in the instrument panel goes out.
● Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator position. ● Drive at moderate speeds on the highway. Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy . ● Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a safe distance behind other ve- hicles.
CAUTION ● Do not drive the vehicle in the 4H or 4LO position on dry hard surface roads. Driv- ing on dry, hard surfaces in 4H or 4LO may cause unnecessary noise, tire wear and increased fuel consumption. If the 4WD warning light turns on when you are driving on dry hard surface roads: – in the 4H position, shift the 4WD shift switch to 2WD.
2WD or 4WD shift procedure: 4WD Shift Switch Position Wheels Driven Indicator Light Use Conditions 4WD Shift Procedure 4WD shift T ransfer 4L O position 2WD Rear wheels For driving on dry, paved roads (Economy drive) or state dynamometer I/M testing Move the 4WD switch.
2. Start the engine. - Check that the 4WD warning light turns off. If the 4WD warning light illuminates, have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. 3. Apply the parking brake, for automatic transmission vehicles, depress the brake pedal and move the shift selector to Neutral position.
The transfer case 4WD shift switch is used to select either 2WD or 4WD depending on the driving conditions. There are three types of drive modes available, 2WD, 4H and 4L O. The 4WD shift switch electronically controls the transfer case operation. Rotate the switch to move between each mode, 2WD, 4H and 4L O.
When the vehicle is stuck, ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4L O. ● Use the Electronic Locking Rear Differential (E-Lock) system (if so equipped) . T urn the switch ON while the vehicle is stationary and apply the throttle to try to free the vehicle.
4WD shift indicator light The 4WD shift indicator light is located in the odometer display . The light should turn off within 1 second after turning the ignition switch to the ON position. While the engine is running, the 4WD shift indi- cator light will illuminate the position selected by the 4WD shift switch.
The 4WD warning light comes on when the igni- tion switch is turned to ON. It turns off soon after the engine is started. If any malfunction occurs in the 4WD system when the ignition switch is ON, the warning light will either remain illuminated or blink.
The E-Lock system can provide additional trac- tion and should only be used when a vehicle has become or is becoming stuck. This system oper- ates by electronically “locking” the two rear drive wheels together, allowing them to turn at the same speed.
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 automatic transmission models or in an appropriate gear for manual transmis- sion models.
The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering. If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will still have control of the vehicle. However, much greater steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service manual and can be performed by a NISSAN dealer. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING ● The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot pre- vent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques.
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are close to locking up, the system electronically controls the pressure applied to each brake. This action is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly . Y ou may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from the actuator when it is oper- ating.
● Drive the vehicle at speeds above 10 mph (15 km/h) for at least 10 minutes. ● The VDC OFF indicator light should go off indicating the traction control system is op- erational. ● If you interrupt the reset procedure by turn- ing the ignition off, you will need to restart the reset procedure.
● If wheels or tires other than the recom- mended ones are used, the V ehicle Dy- namic Control system may not operate properly and the Vehicle Dynamic Con- trol off indicator light may come on. ● The Vehicle Dynamic Control system is not a substitute for winter tires or tire chains on a snow covered road.
WARNING ● Never rely solely on the hill start assist system to prevent the vehicle from mov- ing backward on a hill. Always drive carefully and attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially careful when stopped on a hill on frozen or muddy roads.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti- freeze, drain the cooling system, including the engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, see “Changing engine coolant” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so equipped) WARNING ● Do not use your engine block heater with an ungrounded electrical system or a 2-pronged adapter. Y ou can be se- riously injured by an electrical shock if you use an ungrounded connection. ● Disconnect and properly store the en- gine block heater cord before starting the engine.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection.The anti-freeze solution con- tains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional en- gine cooling system additives are not necessary .
If the cooling system frequently requires coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN dealer. CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT A NISSAN dealer can change the engine coolant. The service procedure can be found in the NISSAN Service Manual. Improper servicing can result in reduced heater performance and engine overheat- ing.
5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be between the H (High) and L (Low) marks s B . This is the normal oper- ating oil level range. If the oil level is below the L (Low) mark s A , remove the oil filler cap and pour recommended oil through the opening.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature, then turn it off. 3. Remove the oil filler cap s A by turning it counterclockwise. 4. Place a large drain pan under the drain plug.
The drain and refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for reference only. Always use the dipstick to determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine. 8. Start the engine. Check for leakage around the drain plug and oil filter.
7. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil. 8. Screw on the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten an additional 2/3 turn. 9. Start the engine and check for leakage around the oil filter. Correct as required. 10. T urn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes.
CAUTION ● DO NO T OVERFILL . ● Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent. For further brake and clutch fluid specification information, refer to “Capacities and recom- mended fuel/lubricants” in the “T echnical and consumer information” section of this manual.
CLUTCH FLUID Check the clutch fluid level in the reservoir (manual transmissions only) . If the fluid level is below the MIN line, add Genuine NISSAN Super Heavy Duty Brake Fluid or equivalent DO T 3 fluid up to the MAX line. If fluid must be added fre- quently , the system should be checked by a NISSAN dealer.
● K eep the battery surface clean and dry. Clean the battery with a solution of baking soda and water. ● Make certain the terminal connections are clean and securely tightened. ● If the vehicle is not to be used for 30 days or longer, disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal cable to prevent discharge.
2. Check the fluid level in each cell. If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled water to bring the level up to the bottom of the filler opening. Do not overfill. V ehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent checks of the battery fluid level.
The current sensor s A is located near the battery along the negative battery cable. If you add elec- trical accessories to your vehicle, be sure to ground them to a suitable body ground such as the frame or engine block area. 1. P ower steering fluid pump 2.

If you have a flat tire, see the “In case of emergency” section of this manual. TIRE PRESSURE Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un- der inflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling. WARNING ● Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident. ● The Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is located on the F .
Tire and loading information label s 1 Seating capacity: The maximum num- ber of occupants that can be seated in the vehicle. s 2 V ehicle load limit: See loading infor- mation in the “T echnical and con- sumer information” section. s 3 Original tire size: The size of the tires originally installed on the vehicle at the factory .
Checking tire pressure 1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire. 2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem side- ways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, reposition the gauge to eliminate this leakage.
TIRE LABELING Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information iden- tifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also pro- vides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification.
7. H: Tire speed rating. Y ou should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire speed rating. s 2 TIN (Tire Identification Number) for a new tire (example: DO T XX XX XXX XXXX) 1. DO T : Abbreviation for the “Depart- ment Of T ransportation” The symbol can be placed above, below or to the left or right of Tire Identification Num- ber.
The number of layers or plies of rubber- coated fabric in the tire. Tire manufactur- ers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. s 4 Maximum permissible inflation pres- sure This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in the tire.
Summer tires NISSAN specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially re- duced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating “M&S” on the tire sidewall.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES Tire rotation NISSAN recommends rotating the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) . See “Flat tire” in the “In case of emer- gency” section in this manual for tire re- placing procedures. As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
● The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When the wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced. ● Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old checked by a qualified technician because some tire damage may not be ob- vious.
● Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel or tire even if it has been re- paired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail with- out warning.
