JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed.

WARNING

  • If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a battery explosion, resulting in severe injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
  • Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and flames away from the battery.
  • Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If the fluid should come into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area with water.
  • Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
  • The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage your vehicle.
  • Whenever working on or near a battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean over the battery when jump-starting.
  • Do not attempt to jump-start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
  • Your vehicle has an automatic engine cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.

  1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their batteries near each other.
    Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
  2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shift lever to N (Neutral) (manual transmission) or to P (Park) (Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)). Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (lights, heater, air conditioner, etc.).
  3. Place the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position.
  4. Connect the jumper cables in the sequence illustrated (OA , OB, OC , OD ).
    CAUTION
    Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (−) to body ground (for example, strut mounting bolt, engine lift bracket, etc.) — not to the battery.
    Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that the cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
  5.  Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
  6. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the engine of the vehicle being jump started.
    CAUTION Do not keep the starter motor engaged for more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not start right away, place the ignition switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying again.
  7. After starting the engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable.

PUSH STARTING

CAUTION
Do not push start this vehicle. The three-way catalyst may be damaged.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models and Manual Transmission (M/T) cannot be push-started or tow-started. Attempting to do so may cause transmission damage.
For Manual Transmission (M/T) models, never try to start the vehicle by towing it. When the engine starts, the forward surge could cause the vehicle to collide with the tow vehicle.

IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS

If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an extremely high-temperature gauge reading), or if you feel a lack of engine power, detect abnormal noise, etc., take the following steps.

  • WARNING
  • Never ride in a vehicle that is being towed.
    Never get under your vehicle after it has been lifted by a tow truck.

CAUTION
When towing, make sure that the transmission, axles, steering system and powertrain are in working condition. If any of these conditions apply, dollies or a flatbed tow truck must be used.
Always attach safety chains before towing.

TOWING RECOMMENDED BY NISSAN
NISSAN recommends towing your vehicle based on the type of drivetrain. For additional information, refer to the diagrams in this section to ensure that your vehicle is properly towed.

Two-Wheel Drive models with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or place the vehicle on a flatbed truck as illustrated.

CAUTION

  • Never tow CVT models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission. If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised always use towing dollies under the front wheels.
  • When towing CVT models with the rear wheels on the ground or on tow-ing dollies:
    • Place the ignition switch in the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or similar de-vice. Never secure the steering wheel by placing the ignition switch in the LOCK position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism (for models with a steering lock mechanism).

Two-Wheel Drive models with manual transmission
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used when towing your vehicle or place the vehicle on the flatbed truck as illustrated.
If you must use a pull-behind tow truck put the manual transmission in N (Neutral).
Your vehicle speed should never exceed 60 mph (97 km/h) when towing your vehicle. After towing 500 miles, start and idle the engine with the transmission in N (Neutral) for two minutes. Failure to idle the engine after every 500 miles of towing may cause damage to the transmission’s internal parts.

CAUTION
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe transmission damage.

  • If you have to tow manual transmission models with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use towing dollies) or four wheels on the ground:
    • Always release the parking brake.
    • Move the transmission shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
    • Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances for manual transmission models only:
      Speed: Below 60 mph (97 km/h) Distance: Less than 500 miles (805 km)

When towing long distances or speeds in excess of 60 mph (97 km/h), remove the propeller shaft before towing to prevent damage to the transmission. For additional information, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
VEHICLE RECOVERY (freeing a stuck vehicle)

WARNING
To avoid vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when recovering a stuck vehicle:

  • Contact a professional towing service to recover the vehicle if you have any questions regarding the recovery procedure.
  • Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle.
  • Do not use the vehicle tie-downs to tow or free a stuck vehicle.
  • Only use devices specifically designed for vehicle recovery and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Always pull the recovery device straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull at an angle.
  • Route recovery devices so they do not touch any part of the vehicle except the attachment point.

If your vehicle is stuck in the sand, snow, mud, etc., use a tow strap or other device designed specifically for vehicle recovery. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the recovery device.

Rocking a stuck vehicle

WARNING
Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury. Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.

If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc., use the following procedure:

  1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) System.
  2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions.
  3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear an area around the front tires.
  4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward.
    • Shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and D (Drive) (Continuously variable transmission models) or 1st (Low) and R (Reverse) (manual transmission models).
    • Apply the accelerator as little as possible to maintain the rocking motion. Release the accelerator pedal before shifting between R (Reverse) and D (Drive) (Continuously Variable Transmission models) or 1st (Low) and R (Reverse) (manual transmission models).
    • Do not spin the tires above 35 mph (55 km/h).
  5. If the vehicle cannot be freed after a few tries, contact a professional towing service to remove the vehicle.
