To open the fuel filler lid, grasp the right
hand edge of the lid and pull.
The fuel filler cap is a screw-on ratcheting
type. Tighten the cap clockwise until ratch-
eting clicks are heard. Ensure the plastic
tether doesn't get caught between the gas
cap and the fuel filler neck.
CAUTION
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.
cFuel may be under pressure. Turn
the cap one-half turn, and wait for
any ``hissing'' sound to stop to pre-
vent fuel from spraying out and pos-
sible personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
cUse only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler
cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper op-
eration of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect
cap can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury.SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Many different arrangements for passenger
seating or cargo hauling are available as
you will see in the following illustrations. The
second row seats may be removed and the
third row seat may be moved forward to the
second row seating position. The second
and third row seats have an optional fold-
down table-top feature. This offers a variety
of uses for the vehicle when moving or
stopped.
The illustrations shown reflect the different
seating positions available.
Before you begin to arrange the seats in
your vehicle, read all of the cautions and
warnings in this chapter, including the
following section on the removable floor
mats. Also observe any labels that are in
the vehicle.
