Nissan Rogue (2019 year). Manual — part 34

∙ DO NOT tow your front wheel drive

continuously variable transmission
vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground (flat towing). Doing so WILL
DAMAGE internal transmission parts
due

to

lack

of

transmission

lubrication.

∙ For emergency towing procedures re-

fer

to

“Towing

recommended

by

NISSAN” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.

Continuously Variable
Transmission

To tow a vehicle equipped with a continu-
ously variable transmission, an appropriate
vehicle dolly MUST be placed under the
towed vehicle’s drive wheels. Always follow
the dolly manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions when using their product.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B and C

The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pave-
ment

as

measured

under

controlled

conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include ac-
celeration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.

Temperature A, B and C

The temperature grades are A (the high-
est), B, and C, representing the tire’s resis-
tance to the generation of heat, and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tem-
perature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and ex-
cessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.

Technical and consumer information

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly in-
flated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.

Technical and consumer information

WARNING

A vehicle equipped with All -Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a
two wheel dynamometer (such as the
dynamometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equip-
ment. Make sure you inform the test fa-
cility personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is placed
on a dynamometer. Using the wrong
test equipment may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle move-
ment which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.

Due to legal requirements in some states
and Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may
be required to be in what is called the
“ready

condition”

for

an

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
emission control system.

The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the ready condition can
be obtained by ordinary usage of the ve-
hicle.

If a powertrain system component is re-
paired or the battery is disconnected, the
vehicle may be reset to a “not ready” condi-
tion. Before taking the I/M test, check the
vehicle’s

inspection/maintenance

test

readiness condition. Place the ignition
switch in the ON position without starting
the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds , the I/M test
condition is “not ready”. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is “ready”. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer to set the “ready con-
dition” or to prepare the vehicle for testing.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a ve-
hicle’s systems performed. The EDR is de-
signed to record data related to vehicle dy-
namics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re-
cord such data as:

∙ How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

∙ Whether or not the driver and passen-

ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

∙ How far (if at all) the driver was depress-

ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,

∙ How fast the vehicle was traveling.

∙ Sounds are not recorded.

MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST

EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

Technical and consumer information

10-31

These data can help provide a better un-
derstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash in-
vestigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN
dealer, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will only be
accessed with the consent of the vehicle
owner or lessee or as otherwise required or
permitted by law.

ADDITIONAL DATA RECORDING (on
vehicles equipped with optional
ProPILOT Assist)

If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
ProPILOT Assist, it will also be equipped
with supplemental data recording function
intended to assist in understanding how
ProPILOT Assist performs in certain non-
trivial crash or near-crash scenarios. Spe-
cifically, supplemental recording is de-
signed to capture the following:

∙ Driver operational status of the accel-

erator, brakes, steering, etc.

∙ Detection status of a vehicle ahead and

lane markers

∙ Vehicle information including distance

to vehicle ahead and lateral position

∙ Information on the operation of the

ProPILOT Assist and other crash avoid-
ance features

∙ ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis

information

∙ External images from the multi-sensing

front camera (Available only when the
SRS air bag or IEB system is activated)

The ProPILOT Assist does not record con-
versations, sounds or images of the inside
of the vehicle.

To read this supplemental data, special
equipment is required and access to the
vehicle or the recording unit is needed. This
supplemental data will only be accessed
with the consent of the vehicle owner or
lessee or as otherwise required or permit-
ted by law. If downloaded, NISSAN and third
parties entrusted by NISSAN may use the
data recorded for the purpose of improv-
ing NISSAN’s vehicle safety performance.

NISSAN and third parties entrusted by
NISSAN will not disclose/provide the re-
corded data to a third party except:

- With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee

- In response to an official request from law
enforcement, court order, governmental
agency, or other legally enforceable re-
quest

- For research purposes after the data is
modified such that it is no longer tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner (anony-
mized)
