FUEL RECOMMENDATION
(Rock Creek)
NISSAN recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance.
WARNING
- Always install the crossbars onto the roof side rails before loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo directly onto the roof rack or the vehicle’s roof may cause vehicle damage.
- Do not put load directly on the roof rack. To avoid damage to paint, the rubber seal and plastic supports, use soft padding or soft cloth on the crossbar before putting rough surface load like plywood, lumber, etc.
- Do not remove load label on both sides of the front stanchions.
- Do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity and always distribute the load uniformly. Heavy loading of the roof rack has the potential to affect vehicle stability and handling during sudden or unusual handling maneuvers.
- Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying capacity, especially if a significant portion of that load is carried on the roof rack.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items from the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a ladder or a stool.
Genuine NISSAN accessory roof rack attachments may be available through a NISSAN dealer. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for additional information.
The service load capacity for the tubular roof rack is 220 lbs. (100 kg.).
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear).
For additional information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to:
F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the driver’s door pillar).
TIRE CHAINS
WARNING
Do not use tire chains with vehicles equipped with 265/60R18 size tires. Use of tire chains on this tire size would cause damage to the suspension components or the vehicle’s body components. This damage could cause you to lose control of the vehicle, leading to an accident resulting in possible injury or death. Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE class “S” chains. Class “S” chains are used on vehicles with restricted tire-to-vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are designed to meet the minimum clearances between the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or body component required to accommodate the use of a winter traction device (tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances are determined using the factory-equipped tire size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected.
Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress.
OFF-ROAD MODE (for Rock Creek)
When the shift lever is out of the R (Reverse) position, selecting the Drive Mode Selector (SAND or MUD/RUT) affects the Intelligent Around View® Monitor display as follows:
- Selecting the Drive Mode Selector (SAND or MUD/RUT) position will activate the Intelligent Around View® Monitor. The front view/front-side view split screen will be displayed.
- When the vehicle is shifted to the Drive Mode Selector (SAND or MUD/RUT) position with the bird’s-eye view displayed, the passenger side of the display will change to the front-side view.
When in off-road mode, the Intelligent Around View® Monitor will not return to the previous screen.
The screen displayed on the Intelligent Around View® Monitor will automatically return to the previous screen 3 minutes after the vehicle was shifted out of the Drive Mode Selector (SAND or MUD/RUT) position.
