Nissan Xterra 2000 SUV Car PDF Owners Manual

The Xterra was introduced in North America in the 2000 model years and marketed as a simple, but capable SUV with the slogan Everything you need, nothing you do not. Although accepted by a wide range of ages, incomes, lifestyles and genders, Nissan Xterra market mainly for the adventurous and outdoor consumer. Many commercials feature one driving the vehicle through the mud, unloading mountain bikes out the back, or pack up surfing equipment.

Three design cues have remained constant through the life of the vehicle, the elevated rear roofline and the rear surface bulge port. The raised roof allows for stadium seating and the hump provides space for a first aid kit. The rear door handles are installed on the “C” pillar as a Nissan design tradition began with the 1986 Nissan Pathfinder. When the four door was introduced Pathfinder, Nissan chose to hide the door handles as a part of the “C” pillar trim to create visually looks like a two door truck with a camper shell, with the conventional door handles on front doors.
During the first two years there were three Xterra models, XE and a luxury two designated SE.

The base XE came with a 143 horsepower KA24DE I4, 5 speed, and steel wheels. They lacked accessories such step rails and roof rack. The most popular XE Xterras were configured with various option packages combining the 170 hp 3.3L VG33E V6 with either a 5 speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and features such as roof rack, side step-rails, and carpet Floor Mats. The XE was the most popular of the trim levels, with more flexibility on equipment options. A fully loaded XE had almost all the practical features of the top-of-the-line SE model, while the cost of an average $ 2000 less.

The SE was the premium trim level for the Xterra offers nearly everything available on XE as a standard. A flip-up sunroof and “SE” badges on the rear next to a fully optioned XE and SE put aside. Some small options were available from the dealer, such as mud flaps, cargo, and in the micro cabin air filters.
