    · A 5-speed automatic transmission is geared to make the most of Pathfinder's muscle. · The V8 features an aluminum block, forged crankshaft, cast-iron cylinder liners, and 6-bolt main bearing caps that increase strength. · Both engines use lightweight aluminum components to help generate immediate response. · Every Pathfinder engine includes Continuously Variable Valve Timing that helps deliver enormous low-end torque. · Microfinished double overhead cams and friction-reducing molybdenum piston skirts help make Pathfinder's V8 and V6 as smooth as they are strong, even at high rpm.]]>

    The Nissan Safety Shield – our comprehensive approach to safety – includes over 50 standard safety features, available advanced technologies, and child-safety programs like Snug Kids. In Pathfinder, Nissan's Advanced Air Bag System,² front seat Active Head Restraints, and available roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for all three rows demonstrate our philosophy in action.]]>

    ¹ Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system. Always wear your seat belt. Do not use rear-facing child restraints in the front-passenger’s seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents. See your owner’s manual for more details. Inflated air bags shown for illustration purposes only. Actual air bags deflate after deployment.

    ² Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). Model tested without optional side air bags.]]>
