Symptom/error message

Solution

The system responds “Command
Not Recognized” or the system fails
to recognize the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command format is valid. Use the “List Commands” or “What Can I Say?” command under the “Help” menu.

2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.

3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, with the windows open or the defroster on).
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.

4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.

WARNING

. Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.

. Properly secure all cargo with ropes

or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.

. If you suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.

. Do not run the engine in closed

spaces such as a garage.

. Do not park the vehicle with the

engine running for any extended
length of time.

. Keep the liftgate closed while driv-

ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, follow these precau-
tions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the

air recirculation to off

and the fan control to high to

circulate the air.

. If electrical wiring or other cable

connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the liftgate or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.

. If a special body, camper or other

equipment is added for recreational
or other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle. (Some recreational vehicle
appliances such as stoves, refrig-
erators, heaters, etc. may also gen-
erate carbon monoxide.)

. The exhaust system and body

should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:

— The vehicle is raised for service.

— You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

— You notice a change in the

sound of the exhaust system.

— You have had an accident invol-

ving damage to the exhaust

AND DRIVING

system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.

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

system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.

. 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. Depos-

its from leaded gasoline will ser-
i o u s l y r e d u c e

t h e t h r e e - w a y

catalyst’s ability to help reduce ex-

haust pollutants.

. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-

functions in the ignition, fuel injec-
tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

. Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dama-
ging the three-way catalyst.

. Do not race the engine while warm-

ing it up.

. Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-
cator is illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

Additional information

. Since the spare tire is not equipped with the

TPMS, the TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.

. 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. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.

. The CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning

message is displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire
pressure is detected. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off. The
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated until the tires are inflated to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. The
CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated. “Check tire pressure warning mes-
sage” (P.2-9).

. The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message

is not displayed if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS
malfunction.

. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on

the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Do not reduce
the tire pressure after driving because the
tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in
low ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” (P.2-18) and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3).

WARNING

. If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as possi-
ble. (See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for chan-
ging a flat tire.)

. Since the spare tire is not equipped

with the TPMS, 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.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.

. Replacing tires with those not ori-

ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

. Do not inject any tire liquid or

aerosol tire sealant into the tires,

as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.

CAUTION

. The TPMS may not function properly

when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.

. Do not place metalized film or any

metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. 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.

Low tire pressure warning light may illuminate in
the following cases.
. If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and

tire without TPMS.

. If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID

has not been registered.

. If the wheel is not originally specified by

NISSAN.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER

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. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering
maneuvers, because these driving practices
could cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
As with any vehicle, a loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects, or cause the vehicle to rollover,
particularly if the loss of control causes the
vehicle to slide sideways. Be attentive at all
times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive
when under the influence of alcohol or drugs
(including prescription or over-the-counter
drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in “Seat belts”
(P.1-10) of this manual, and also instruct your
passengers to do so.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in

collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an
unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

If the right side or left side wheels leave the road
surface, maintain control of the vehicle by
following the procedure below. Please note that
this procedure is only a general guide. The
vehicle must be driven as appropriate based on
the conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel

with both hands and try to hold a straight
course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-

erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the vehicle
speed is reduced. Do not attempt to drive
the vehicle back onto the road surface until
vehicle speed is reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the

steering wheel until both tires return to the
road surface. When all tires are on the road
surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the

appropriate driving lane.

If you decide that it is not safe to return

the vehicle to the road surface based on
vehicle, road or traffic conditions, gradu-
ally 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. Rapid air pressure
loss can also be caused by driving on under-
inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the handling
and stability of the vehicle, especially at highway
speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-
taining the correct air pressure and visually
inspect the tires for wear and damage. See
“Wheels and tires” (P.8-28) of this manual.

If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or “blows-out”
while driving maintain control of the vehicle by
following the procedure below. Please note that
this procedure is only a general guide. The
vehicle must be driven as appropriate based on
the conditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

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.

. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
. Do not rapidly release the accelera-

tor pedal.

. Do not rapidly turn the steering

wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel

with both hands and try to hold a straight
course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-

erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location

off the road and away from traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually

stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

either contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire or see “Changing a flat
tire” (P.6-4) of this Owner’s Manual.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving after drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the se-
verity of the injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influence
of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents.
Although the local laws vary on what is
considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is
that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by
alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition.

DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your vehicle is designed for both normal and off-
road use. However, avoid driving in deep water
or mud as your vehicle is mainly designed for
leisure use, unlike a conventional off-road
vehicle.

Remember that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) mod-
els are less capable than All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) models for rough road driving and
extrication when stuck in deep snow, mud, or
the like.

Please observe the following precautions:

WARNING

. Drive carefully when off the road

and avoid dangerous areas. Every
person who drives or rides in this
vehicle should be seated with their
seat belt fastened. This will keep
you and your passengers in position
when driving over rough terrain.

Starting and driving

5-7

5-8

Starting and driving

. Do not drive across steep slopes.

Instead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-road
vehicles can tip over sideways much
more easily than they can forward or
backward.

. 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 ranges while driving on

downhill grades as this could cause
loss of control of the vehicle.

. Stay alert when driving to the top of

a hill. At the top there could be a
drop-off or other hazard that could
cause an accident.

. If your engine stalls or you cannot

make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around. Your
vehicle could tip or roll over. Always
back straight down in R (Reverse)
range. Never back down in N (Neu-
tral), using only the brake, as this
could cause loss of control.

. Heavy braking going down a hill

could cause your brakes to overheat
and fade, resulting in loss of control
and an accident. Apply brakes
lightly and use a low range to
control your speed.

. Unsecured cargo can be thrown

around when driving over rough
terrain. Properly secure all cargo
so it will not be thrown forward
and cause injury to you or your
passengers.

. To 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. Secure heavy loads in the
cargo area as far forward and as
low as possible. Do not equip the
vehicle with tires larger than speci-
fied in this manual. This could cause
your vehicle to roll over.

. Do not grip the inside or spokes of

the steering wheel when driving off-
road. The steering wheel could
move suddenly and injure your
hands. Instead drive with your fin-
gers and thumbs on the outside of
the rim.

. Before operating the vehicle, ensure

that the driver and all passengers
have their seat belts fastened.

. Always drive with the floor mats in

place as the floor may became hot.

. Lower your speed when encounter-

ing strong crosswinds. With a higher
center of gravity, your vehicle is
more affected by strong side winds.
Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.

. Do not drive beyond the perfor-

mance capability of the tires, even
with AWD engaged.

. For AWD equipped vehicles, do not

attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with
the engine running. Doing so may
result in drivetrain damage or un-
expected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle da-
mage or personal injury.

. Do not attempt to test an AWD

equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equip-

ment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure
you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with
AWD before it is placed on a
dynamometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.

. When a wheel is off the ground due

to an unlevel surface, do not spin
the wheel excessively (AWD model).

. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering

maneuvers or sudden braking may
cause loss of control.

. If at all possible, avoid sharp turning

maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. Your vehicle has a higher
center of gravity than a conventional
passenger car. The vehicle is not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
cars. Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of
control and/or a rollover accident.

. Always use tires of the same type,

size, brand, construction (bias, bias-

belted or radial), and tread pattern
on all four wheels. Install traction
devices on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive
carefully.

. Be sure to check the brakes imme-

diately after driving in mud or water.
See “Brake system” (P.5-35) for wet
brakes.

. 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.

. Whenever you drive off-road

through sand, mud or water as deep
as the wheel hub, more frequent
maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance schedule shown in
the “9. Maintenance and schedules”
section.

. Spinning the front wheels on slip-

pery surfaces may cause the AWD
warning light to flash and the AWD
system to automatically switch from
the AWD mode to the 2WD mode.
This could reduce traction.

WARNING

Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except
in an emergency. (The engine will stop
when the ignition switch is pushed 3
consecutive times or the ignition switch
is pushed and held for more than 2
seconds.) If the engine stops while the
vehicle is being driven, this could lead
to a crash and serious injury.

Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the shift lever to the P
(Park) position (for Continuously Variable Trans-
mission models) or the shift lever to the N
(Neutral) position (for manual transmission
models).

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.
. Visually inspect tires for their appearance

and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.

. Lock all doors.
. Position seat and adjust head restraints.
. Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
. Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to

do likewise.

. Check the operation of warning lights when

the ignition switch is placed in the ON

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) or N

(Neutral) position. (P is recommended.)

The starter is designed not to operate unless
the shift lever is in either of the above
positions.

Manual Transmission (MT) models:

Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position. Depress the clutch pedal fully to
the floor.

The starter is designed not to operate unless
the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

The Intelligent Key must be carried
when operating the ignition switch.

3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.

Depress the brake pedal (CVT models) or
the clutch pedal (MT models) and push the
ignition switch to start the engine.

To start the engine immediately, push and
release the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal (CVT models) or the clutch
pedal (MT models) with the ignition switch in
any position.

If the engine is very hard to start in

extremely cold weather or when restart-
ing, depress the accelerator pedal a little
(approximately 1/3 to the floor) and while
holding, crank the engine. Release the

accelerator pedal when the engine starts.

If the engine is very hard to start because

it is flooded, depress the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor and hold it.
Push the ignition switch to the ON
position to start cranking the engine.
After 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by
pushing the ignition switch to OFF. After
cranking the engine, release the accel-
erator pedal. Crank the engine with your
foot off the accelerator pedal by
depressing the brake pedal and pushing
the push-button ignition switch to start
the engine. If the engine starts, but fails
to run, repeat the above procedure.

CAUTION

Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start, push the ignition switch
to OFF and wait 10 seconds before
cranking again, otherwise the starter
could be damaged.

4. Warm-up

Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at

moderate speed for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather. In cold weather,
keep the engine running for a minimum of 2 -
3 minutes before shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a short period of
time may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.

When racing the engine up to 4,000 rpm or
more under no load condition, the engine
will enter the fuel cut mode.

5. To stop the engine, move the shift lever to

the P (Park) position (CVT models) or move
the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position (MT
models), and push the ignition switch to the
OFF position.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electro-

nic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.)

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT)

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
in your vehicle is electronically controlled 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.

Engine power may be automatically re-
duced to protect the CVT if the engine
speed increases quickly when driving on
slippery roads or while being tested on
some dynamometers.

Starting the vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the

foot brake pedal before moving the shift
lever out of the P (Park) position.

This CVT is designed so that the foot
brake pedal must be depressed before
shifting from P (Park) to any driving
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

The shift lever cannot be moved out of
the P (Park) position and into any of
the other positions if the ignition
switch is placed in the LOCK, OFF or
ACC position or if the key is removed.

2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed, push

the shift lever button and move the shift lever
to a driving position.

3. Release the parking brake and foot brake

pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.

WARNING

. Do not depress the accelerator

pedal while shifting from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D
(Drive), or manual shift mode (if so
equipped) . Always depress the
brake pedal until shifting is com-
pleted. Failure to do so could cause
you to lose control and have an
accident.

. Cold engine idle speed is high, so

use caution when shifting into a
forward or reverse gear before the
engine has warmed up.

. Never shift to either the P (Park) or

R (Reverse) position while vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D
(Drive) while the vehicle is rever-
sing. This could cause an accident
or damage the transmission.

. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-

pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.

CAUTION

. To avoid possible damage to your

vehicle; when stopping the vehicle
on an uphill grade, do not hold the
vehicle by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. The foot brake should be
used for this purpose.

. Except in an emergency, do not shift

to the N (Neutral) position while
driving. Coasting with the transmis-
sion in the N (Neutral) position may
cause serious damage to the trans-
mission.
