HEAD RESTRAINT ADJUSTMENT (for front seats)
To raise the head restraint, just pull it up. To 1 lower, push the lock knob k and push the head restraint down. When removing the rear head restraint for seat folding etc., push the lock knob and pull up the head restraint. The removed head restraint should be securely stored.
Adjust the head restraints so the center is level with the center of your ears.
Active head restraints are designed to supplement other safety systems. Always wear seat belts. No system can prevent all injuries in any accident. Do not attach anything to the head restraint stalks. Doing so could impair active head restraint function. The head restraint moves forward utilizing the force that the seatback receives from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the head restraint helps support the occupants head by reducing its backward movement and helping absorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash type injuries. Active head restraints are effective for collisions at low to medium speeds in which it is said that whiplash injury occurs most. Active head restraints operate only in certain rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints return to their original positions. Properly adjust the active head restraints as described in the previous section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly adjusted and you are sitting upright and well back in your seat, your chances of being injured or killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of your passengers to buckle up every time you drive, even if your seating position includes a supplemental air bag. Most states, provinces or territories require that seat belts be worn at all times when a vehicle is being driven.

If you must install a front-facing child restraint in the front seat, see Child restraint installation on front passenger seat later in this section. When your child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.
CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT CENTER OR OUTBOARD POSITIONS
The three-point rear seat belts on your vehicle are equipped with an automatic locking mode retractor which must be used when installing a child restraint. Failure to do so will result in the child restraint not being properly secured. It could tip over or otherwise be unsecured and cause injury to the child in a sudden stop or collision.
Remember that a child restraint left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint.

Rear outboard seat

SSS0252A

When you install a child restraint in a rear outboard or center seat, follow these steps: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the restraint manufacturers instructions. The back of the child restraint should be secured against the vehicle seatback. If necessary, adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain the correct child restraint fit. See Head restraint adjustment earlier in this section. If the head restraint is removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure to install the
head restraint when the child restraint is removed. If the seating position does not have an adjustable head restraint and it is interfering with the proper child restraint fit, try another seating position or a different child restraint.

3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode). It reverts back to emergency locking mode when the belt is fully retracted.
4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt to remove any slack in the belt.
5. Before placing the child in the child restraint, use force to tilt the child restraint from side to side, and tug it forward to make sure that it is securely held in place. It should not move more than 25 mm (1 inch). If it does move more than 25 mm (1 inch), pull again on the shoulder belt to further tighten the child restraint. If unable to properly secure the restraint, move the restraint to another rear seating position and try again, or try a different child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt

jury if the supplemental front air bag inflates. Immediately after inflation, several air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself. No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the supplemental front air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the air bag or damage to the air bag system. Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicles electrical system, suspension system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental air bag system. Tampering with the supplemental front air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel assembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad, above the dash-
Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instrument panel. Also, do not place any objects between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause in-
board, or by installing additional trim material around the air bag system. Work around and on the supplemental front air bag system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The yellow and orange Supplemental Restrain System (SRS) wiring and connectors should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing de vices should not be used on the air bag system. A cracked windshield should be replaced immediately by a qualified repair facility. A cracked windshield could affect the function of the supplemental air bag system. The SRS wiring harness connectors are yellow and orange for easy identification. When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the supplemental front air bag system and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this Owners Manual.
damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper supplemental side air bag operation. When the supplemental side air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental side air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the head and the chest of the front occupants. They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating side air bag may cause abrasions or other injuries. Supplemental side air bags do not provide restraint to the lower body. The seat belts should be correctly worn and the driver and passenger seated upright as far as practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat passengers should be seated as far away as practical from the door finishers and side roof rails. The side air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the front occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air bag inflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against, these air bag modules during inflation. The side air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is over. After turning the ignition key to the ON

Turn the ignition key to OFF and check the fuel filler cap. If the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The lamp should turn off after a few driving trips. If the lamp does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer. Malfunction indicator lamp blinking An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To reduce or avoid emission control system damage: a) Do not drive at speeds above 72 km/h (45 MPH). b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration. c) Avoid steep uphill grades. d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed. The malfunction indicator lamp may stop blinking and come on steady. Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on steady or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate a potential emission control malfunction. The malfunction indicator lamp may also come on steady if the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is installed and closed tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 14 liters (3 US gallons, 2.5 Imp gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank. After a few driving trips, the lamp should turn off if no other potential emission control system malfunction exists. If this indicator lamp comes on steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not ready for an emission control system inspection/maintenance test. See Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M) test in the 9. Technical and consumer information section of this manual.
Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and possible damage to the emission control system.

HEADLIGHT AIM

The aim of the headlights may require adjustment when replacing the headlight assembly or when the vehicles front body has been repaired. When the adjustment is required, follow these procedures, or have them adjusted by a NISSAN dealer. Before performing the headlight aim adjustment: Check the pressure of all tires for the correct inflation pressure. Check that the tools and spare tire are stowed securely.
Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are filled to correct capacities. Unload all luggage and other items, which may influence the vehicles height level. Load a weight on the drivers seat that is equivalent to the weight of a driver.
The point P must be: H is the distance between the headlight center point to the level surface. WL is the distance between the left and right headlight centers. 3. Mark point P on the wall or screen. 4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in, 16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or screen. L is the distance between the wall or screen to the vehicles front bumper. 5. Apply the parking brake.

Stopping the vehicle

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to the wall or screen to which the headlights will be projected. 2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to determine the point P as shown in the illustration.

on each side of the headlights. The 1 lower screw k is used to adjust the 2 horizontal aim. The upper screw k is used to adjust the vertical aim. The screws can be turned indefinitely in each direction. Therefore be sure to observe the headlight projection movement to determine the necessary turning amount.

Tire wear and damage

Tires should be periodically inspected for wear, cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are found,
the tire(s) should be replaced. The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator. When the wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced. Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old checked by a qualified technician because some tire damage may not be obvious. Replace the tires as necessary to prevent tire failure and possible personal injury. Improper service of the spare tire may result in serious personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire, contact a NISSAN dealer. For additional information regarding tires, refer to Tire Safety Information in the Warranty Information Booklet. 8-42 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread design, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. Recommended types and sizes are shown in Wheels and tires in the Technical and consumer information section of this manual.
The use of tires other than those recommended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury. If the wheels are changed for any reason, always replace with wheels which have the same offset dimension. Wheels of a different offset
could cause premature tire wear, degrade vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear. Refer to Wheels and Tires in the Technical and consumer information section of this manual for wheel offset dimensions. Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail without warning. The use of retread tire is not recommended. For additional information regarding tires, refer to Tire Safety Information in the Warranty Information Booklet.

February 2007 The X-Trail has certainly brought home the bacon for Nissan in the popular and competitive compact four-wheel-drive class. Caulking a gap in their off-road line-up beside big brothers Patrol and Pathfinder, it was released in late 2001.

Models and Features

Initially, buyers could pick from the ST or the higher specified Ti versions, both available with either a five-speed manual or four-speed auto gearbox. The luxury Ti-L model, with leather upholstery, expanded the range from mid 2002. A mid-life freshen-up for 2004 brought cosmetic and equipment changes. Also, the Ti-L specification morphed into two distinct variants, with either a sunroof or a child-friendly rear DVD pack. Safety features across the range include dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake distribution and brake assist, plus front seatbelt pre-tensioners. A centre rear lap-sash seatbelt and active head restraints were added in 2004. Tighter emission regulations shaved 9 kW and 15 Nm from engine outputs in 2006 models.

On The Road

The QR25 series engine is a strength and potentially a weakness for the X-Trail. The willing, 2.5-litre, VVT engine proves perky. However, some owners have experienced excess engine oil use accompanied by piston noise, usually found and corrected within warranty. The X-Trails All Mode drive system offers easy selection of three drive modes. In 2WD, drive is to the front wheels. Auto mode feeds most torque to the front axles but shuffles additional torque to the rear when slip is detected, while lock mode gives a fixed, nearly equal front/rear split and is available for tougher conditions, when travelling at up to 30 km/hr. X-Trail wont match its bigger siblings for go-anywhere prowess, but still offers more off-road talent than many of the soft-roader set. Practical touches like a cooled stowage bin, large and easy-clean cargo bay and a split-fold rear seat increase appeal. Convex exterior rear vision mirrors, a centrally mounted instrument cluster and a lack of steering reach adjustment wont be to everyones tastes. Used X-Trails that have spent most of their life on bitumen are likely to be a better choice.

What To Look For

Fuel Consumption

The X-Trail will use between 8.8 and 11.6 litres of fuel every 100 km, depending on the model and driving conditions.
