FUEL FILLER LID OPENER OP-
ERATION
To open the fuel filler lid, grasp the right
hand edge of the lid and pull.
FUEL FILLER CAP
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 fuel
filler cap and the fuel filler neck.
The driver side sliding door cannot be
fully opened when the fuel door is open.
Make sure the driver side sliding door iscompletely closed before opening the
fuel door.
WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. You could be burned or se-
riously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
c
Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap one-half turn, and wait for any
``hissing'' sound to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possibly
causing personal injury. Then re-
move the cap.
cDo not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, result-
ing in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
cUse only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. Anincorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.
cNever pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
cIf fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
cTighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
lamp illuminates
because the fuel filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap
and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
lamp should turn off after
a few driving trips. If thelamp
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see the
``Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)''
in the ``Instrument and controls''
section earlier in this manual.

the surface of the disc.
cTo clean a disc, wipe the surface from
the center to the outer edge using a
clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the disc
using a circular motion.
Do not use a conventional record cleaner
or alcohol intended for industrial use.
cA new disc may be rough on the inner
and outer edges. Remove the rough
edges by rubbing the inner and outeredges with the side of a pen or pencil as
illustrated.
CAUTION
cDuring cold weather or rainy days,
the player may malfunction due to
the humidity. If this occurs, remove
the CD and dehumidify or ventilate
the player completely.
cThe player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
cThe CD player sometimes cannot
function when the compartment tem-
perature is extremely high. Decrease
the temperature before use.
cDo not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.
cDo not touch the playing surface of
the disc.
cDo not use 8 cm discs. They may
cause player damage even if using
with the optional adapter.
cRecordable compact discs (CD-R)
