Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry
passengers and luggage. NISSAN does not recom-
mend trailer towing, because it places additional loads
on your vehicle’s engine, drivetrain, steering, braking,
and other systems.
CAUTION:
Vehicle damage resulting from towing a trailer is
not covered by the warranty.

WARNING:
. If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the
steering will not work. The steering will be
harder to operate.
. When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running, the
power assist for the steering will cease
operation. You will still have control of the
vehicle but the steering will be harder to
operate.
The electric power steering is designed to provide
power assist while driving to operate the steering
wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or
continuously while parking or driving at a very low
speed, the power assist for the steering wheel will be
reduced. This is to prevent overheating of the electric
power steering and protect it from getting damaged.
While the power assist is reduced, steering wheel
operation will become heavy. When the temperature of
the electric power steering goes down, the power
assist level will return to normal. Avoid repeating such
steering wheel operations that could cause the electric
power steering to overheat.
You may hear a fricative sound when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is not a
malfunction.
If the electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the engine is running, it may indicate
the electric power steering is not functioning properly
and may need servicing. Have the electric power
steering checked by a NISSAN dealer. (See “Electric
power steering warning light” (P.2-14).)
When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist
for the steering will cease operation. You will still have
control of the vehicle. However, greater steering effort
is needed, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
