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 position reverse the process. Make sure to properly 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 run 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 .
There are three basic types of child restraint systems: ● Rear facing child restraint ● Front facing child restraint ● Booster seat The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally , infants up to about 1 year and less than 20 pounds (9 kg) should be placed in rear facing child restraints.
kg) and 80 lbs (36 kg) . A booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit. NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a commercially available booster seat if the shoul- der belt in the child’s seating position fits close to the face or neck or if the lap portion of the seat belt goes across the abdomen.
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 T ether Anchor P oint 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 necessary , adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct child restraint fit. See “Head restraint adjustment” in this section. If the head restraint is removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure to install the head restraint when the child restraint is removed.
7. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat steps 3 through 6. Rear-facing Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using LA T CH System: 1. P osition 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” 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.
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 seat back. If necessary , adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
3. 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 manu- facturer’s instructions for belt routing. 4. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended.
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.
Rear facing WARNING ● Do not install a child restraint system on the passenger’s side jump seat with- out unfolding the seat extender. A child restraint system will not be installed properly and the child could be seri- ously injured or killed in a sudden stop or collision.
2. Move the front passenger’s seat into the FULL FORW ARD position. Then move the front seatback to the upright or tilted forward position. P osition the child restraint on the jump seat. The direction of the child restraint depends on the type of the child restraint and the size of the child.
4. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retrac- tor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully re- tracted.
6. 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.
● Infants and small children should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself.
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 ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND REAR SEAT (Crew cab models only) WARNING NISSAN recommends that booster seats be installed in the rear seat. However, if you must install a booster seat in the front passenger seat, move the passenger’s seat to the rearmost position.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If neces- sary , adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct booster seat fit. See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in this section. If the head restraint is removed, store it in a secure place.
BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION ON PASSENGER’S SIDE JUMP SEAT ONLY (King cab models only) WARNING ● When installing a booster seat in the passenger’s side jump seat position be sure to unfold the seat extension on the jump seat.
2. P osition the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a front facing direction. Always follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in- structions. 3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If neces- sary , adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct booster seat fit.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag system (if so equipped) : This system can help cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear outboard seating positions in certain side impact or rollover collisions.
● The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sensors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag System monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt us- age then inflates the air bags. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING ● Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.
WARNING ● Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. An in- flating front air bag could seriously in- jure or kill your child. See “Child re- straints” earlier in this section for details.
WARNING Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bags (if so equipped) and roof- mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bags (if so equipped) : ● The side air bags and curtain and roll- over air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a frontal impact, rear im- pact, or lower severity side collision.
WARNING ● The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat.

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.
● 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. 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.
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.
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.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND DRIVING WARNING Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re- duces coordination, delays reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others.
● Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough terrain. Prop- erly secure all cargo so it will not be thrown forward and cause injury to you or your passengers. ● T o avoid raising the center of gravity excessively, do not exceed the rated capacity of the roof rack (if so equipped) and evenly distribute the load.
● 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 rear wheels when driving on slippery roads and drive carefully. ● Be sure to check the brakes immedi- ately after driving in mud or water.
T o remove the key from the ignition switch: 1. Shift the selector lever to the P (Park) posi- tion with the key in the ON position. 2. T urn the key to the LOCK position.
T o lock the steering wheel, turn the key to the LOCK position. Remove the key. T o unlock the steering wheel, insert the key and turn it gently while rotating the steer- ing wheel slightly right and left.
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Automatic transmission: Move the shift selector lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral) . P (Park) is recommended. The shift selector lever cannot be moved out of P (Park) and into any of the other gear positions if the ignition key is turned to the OFF position or if the key is removed from the ignition switch.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 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.
Do not downshift into the 1 position at speeds over the following and do not exceed the follow- ing speeds in the 1 position. 2WD and AUT O: 43 MPH (70 km/h) 4H: 43 MPH (70 km/h) 4L O: 31 MPH (50 km/h.
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.
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.
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.
● When the warning light comes on, the 2WD mode may be engaged even if the 4WD shift switch is in 4H . Be especially careful when driving. If corresponding parts are malfunctioning, the 4WD mode will not be engaged even if the 4WD shift switch is shifted.
WARNING ● Never leave the E-Lock system ON when driving on paved or hard-surfaced roads. T urning the vehicle may result in the rear wheels slipping and result in an accident and personal injury. After us- ing the E-Lock system to free the ve- hicle, turn the system OFF .
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.
WARNING ● Never rely solely on the hill descent control system to control vehicle speed when driving on steep down hill grades. Always drive carefully and attentively when using the hill descent control sys- tem and decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal if neces- sary.
The hill start assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
3. Tire chains may be used. For details see “Tire chains” in the “Maintenance and do-it- yourself” section of this manual. SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT It is recommended that the following items be carried in the vehicle during winter: ● A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice and snow from the windows and wiper blades.
