IGNITION SWITCH higher center of gravity, your NISSAN is more affected by gusty side winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control. ¼ Do not drive beyond the performance of the tires even with 4WD. Accelerating quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or sudden braking may cause loss of control. ¼ Install the same size of winter tires on all four wheels (such as studless tires) or install tire chains to the rear wheels when driving on slippery roads (for example, after a snow) and drive carefully using 4WD. ¼ Be sure to check the brakes immediately after driving in mud or water. See "Brake system" later in this section for wet brakes. ¼ Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls forward, backward or sideways, you could be injured. ¼ Whenever you drive offroad through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub, more frequent maintenance may be required. See "Periodic maintenance" in the "9. Maintenance" section for maintenance under severe driving conditions. SSD0082C MANUAL TRANSMISSION The switch includes an anti-theft steering lock device.
