2006 NISSAN NOTE engine

WARNING
•Do not drive with the back door opened. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
•Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked, with the back door
closed, when not in use, and prevent chil-
dren’s access to the vehicle’s keys.
NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS)
The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)* will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the reg-
istered NATS key.
* Immobilizer
If the engine fails to start using the registered NATS
key, it may be due to interference from another
NATS key, an automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring. Restart the
engine using the following procedure:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference) sepa-
rated from the registered NATS key or NATS
Intelligent Key (where fitted).
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NATS key or NATS Intelligent Key (where fitted)
on a separate key-ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
NATS security warning light
The security warning light blinks whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position.
This function indicates that NATS is equipped on
the vehicle.
If the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
key is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine will not
start, see your NISSAN dealer for NATS service
as soon as possible. Please bring all NATS keys
or NATS Intelligent Keys when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.
Additional information for RHD models
If the NATS is malfunctioning, this light will turn on
after flashing six times while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
However, if the NATS security warning light turns
off after the light has remained on for 15 minutes,

B.RHD models
To open the fuel filler lid, pull up the opener lever
j1 . To lock, close the fuel filler lid securely.
FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Tighten the
cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are heard.Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder
j1 while
refuelling.
WARNING
•Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.
•Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap half
a turn and wait for any hissing sound to stop,
in order to prevent fuel from spraying out and
causing possible personal injury.
•Use only a NISSAN fuel filler cap or exact
equivalent as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control system.
An incorrect cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury.
CAUTION
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away
with water to avoid paint damage.To apply:Pull the lever up
j1.
To release:Pull the lever up slightly, push the but-
ton
j2 and lower completely.
Before driving, check that the brake warning light
goes out. For additional information, see “Warn-
ing/indicator lights and audible reminders” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
NOTE
A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven with-
out releasing the handbrake.

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently
become involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning
controls while driving so that full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
•Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature warning light comes
on, turn the air conditioner off. For additional
information, see “Engine overheat” in the “6. In
case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
This mode may be normally used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a constant
temperature. Air flow distribution and fan speed are
also controlled automatically.NOTE
The air conditioner cooling function operates only
when the engine is running.

trol dial to the AUTO position.
2. If the A/C indicator does not illuminate, press the
A/C button to switch on the air conditioner. (The
A/C indicator will illuminate.)
3. Turn the temperature dial for the desired tem-
perature.
4. Press the air intake button until both the indica-
tors(Outside air) and(Air recircula-
tion) are off. The intake air will be controlled auto-
matically between the air recirculation and out-
side air modes.
•The temperature of the passenger compartment
will be maintained automatically. Air flow distri-
bution and fan speed are also controlled auto-
matically.
•A visible mist may be seen coming from the ven-
tilators in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Heater operation (A/C OFF):
Use this mode for heating purposes only.
1. Turn the fan speed control dial and air flow con-
trol dial to the AUTO position.
2. If the A/C indicator is illuminated, press the C>button to switch off the air conditioner. (The

•Do not set the temperature lower than the out-
side air temperature. Otherwise the system may
not work properly.
•This mode is not recommended when the win-
dows fog up.
•If the windows fog up, use dehumidified heating
instead of the A/C off heating.
