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 information in the
“NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide”.

. 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. Be espe-
cially careful when towing a trailer
(AWD model).

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).
