Welcome to the growing family of new NISSAN

owners. This vehicle is delivered to you with

confidence. It was produced using the latest

techniques and strict quality control.

This manual was prepared to help you under-

stand the operation and maintenance of your

vehicle so that you may enjoy many miles of

driving pleasure. Please read through this

manual before operating your vehicle.

A separate Warranty Information Booklet

explains details about the warranties cov-

ering your vehicle. The NISSAN Service

and Maintenance Guide explains details

about maintaining and servicing your ve-

hicle. Additionally, a separate Customer

Care/Lemon Law Booklet (U.S. only) will

explain how to resolve any concerns you

may have with your vehicle, as well as

clarify your rights under your state’s lemon

law.

In addition to factory installed options, your

vehicle may also be equipped with additional

accessories installed by NISSAN or by your

NISSAN dealer prior to delivery. It is important

that you familiarize yourself with all disclosures,

warnings, cautions and instructions concerning

proper use of such accessories prior to operat-

ing the vehicle and/or accessory. See a NISSAN

dealer for details concerning the particular

accessories with which your vehicle is

equipped.

Your NISSAN dealer knows your vehicle best.

questions, we will be glad to assist you with the

extensive resources available to us.

vehicle correctly may result in loss of

control or an accident. Be sure to read

“On-pavement and off-road driving pre-
