QUICK REFERENCE INDEX

Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or
solvents for cleaning skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be
worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addi-
tion an eye wash facility should be provided.
Environmental Protection PrecautionsNJGI0001S0702Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt, check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning the pollution vary between
regions.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FUELNJGI0001S08Gasoline EngineNJGI0001S0803Europe
Models with three way catalyst
Unleaded premium gasoline of at least 95 octane (RON)
If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gaso-
line with an octane rating of 91 (RON) may be temporarily
used, but only under the following precautions:
Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regu-
lar gasoline, and fill up with premium unleaded gasoline
as soon as possible.
Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Except For Europe
Models without three way catalyst
Leaded gasoline of at least 91 octane (RON)
Models with three way catalyst
Unleaded gasoline of above 91 octane (RON)
For improved vehicle performance, Nissan recommends the use of
premium unleaded gasoline above 95 octane (RON).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Diesel Engine*:NJGI0001S0804Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
Above −7°C (20°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
Below −7°C (20°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
Do not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate

ture controller set at several positions between COOL and
HOT.
Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
11. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating
steps 4 through 7 until coolant level no longer drops
Clean excess coolant from engine.

5. Remove drain plug of cylinder block and air relief plug.
6. Check drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corro-
sion or discoloration. If contaminated flush engine cooling
system, refer to LC-45, “FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM”.
7. Blow the coolant around the exhaust tube heat shield.

While filling, if coolant from engine side spills out, be sure to
reconnect the heater hose.
Fill coolant to the level of the radiator cap at a rate of 2(1-3/4
Imp qt)/min or lower.
(Close the air relief plugs in order starting with the location from
where the coolant began spilling out.)
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being mixed
in the coolant. Be sure to fill the coolant slowly according to
the rate indicated above.
Replace the copper washer of the air bleeding plug.
Air relief plug:
