beep when, the vehicle is approximately 30 cm (12
in) from the obstacle.
NOTE
This system is intended as an aid to reversing,

Remove all loads before lifting the vehicle with
the jack.
Make sure to block the wheel diagonally op-
posite the flat tyre as described earlier in this
section.
CAUTION
The jack should be used on firm, level ground.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so that the top of the jack contacts the
vehicle at the jack-up point.
2. Align the centre of both the jack head and the notches at the jack-up point as shown.
3. Fit the groove of the jack head between the two notches as shown. 4. Loosen each wheel nut by one or two turns
anticlockwise with the wheel wrench.
Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tyre is
off the ground.
Models with wheel lock nuts (where fitted):
If the wheel is equipped with a wheel lock nut,
insert the wheel lock key
j1 and loosen it as pre-
viously described.
The wheel lock nut can only be removed with the
wheel lock key. A key number is necessary if you
need to duplicate the wheel lock key.
Record the key number as shown on the key
code card on the “Security information” page at
the end of this manual and keep it in a safe place,
not in the vehicle. If you loose the wheel lock key,
see your NISSAN dealer for a duplicate with the
original wheel lock key code. Make sure to keep the lock key in the vehicle.
Otherwise, wheels cannot be removed and the
service cannot be performed.

Removing the wheel lock nut:
1. Insert the wheel lock key
j1 to the wheel lock
nut.
2. To remove the wheel lock nut, turn the wheel lock key anticlockwise using the wheel wrench.
CAUTION
Do not use a power tool to remove the wheel
lock nuts.
When installing the wheel, tighten the wheel
lock nuts to the same tightening torque as the normal wheel nuts. For details, see “Chang-
ing flat tyre (Models with spare wheel, where
fitted)” earlier in this section.
NOTE
The wheel lock nut has an individual code.
A wheel lock key with other than the indi-
vidual code cannot remove the wheel lock
nut. If you lose the wheel lock key, contact
a NISSAN dealer for a duplicate with the
original wheel lock key code.
Record the key number as shown on the
key code card on the “Security informa-
tion” page at the end of this manual and
keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
When you ask for a service at a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop, make sure
to keep the lock key in the vehicle. Other-
wise, wheels cannot be removed and the
service cannot be performed.
REPAIRING FLAT TYRE (Models with
emergency tyre puncture repair kit,
where fitted)
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit is supplied
with the vehicle instead of a spare tyre. This repair
kit must be used for temporarily fixing a minor tyre
puncture. After using the repair kit, see a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre inspection and repair/replacement.

Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the UPPERj1 and LOWERj2 level lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled water
to bring the level to the indicator in each filler open-
ing. Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs

2. Add distilled water up to the UPPER level line

If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
electrolyte water level by looking directly above
the cell, as illustrated.
3. Tighten cell plugs.
CAUTION
Do not overfill battery cells. Excessive electrolyte
may leak out of the battery during charging, and
cause paint damage.
Maintenance free battery (Type B)
For a maintenance free battery it is not required to
check the fluid level. However, NISSAN recom-
mends to visually check the green indicator
jA sta-
tus periodically. If it is not visible, replace the battery
as soon as possible.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
If the battery has been reconnected, check the fol-
lowing items:
Re-enter the anti-theft system code (where fit-
ted). For details, see the separately provided
NISSAN Connect Owner’s Manual.
Clock setting. For details, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section or the separately provided NISSAN Con-
nect (where fitted) Owner’s Manual.
The C-View® sunshade or power window sys-
tem may need to be reinitialised. For details, see
“C-View® glass roof (where fitted)” in the “2. In-
struments and controls” section or “Windows”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
Models with Stop/Start System
Ensure that the battery fitted is the special bat-
tery that is enhanced with regard to the charge-
discharge capacity and life performance. Avoid
using any other battery for the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, as this may cause early deterioration of the
battery or a malfunction of the Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine NISSAN
battery is fitted. For more information, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/Start
System reactivates.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Only hold the xenon headlight bulb by the
base.
The bulb is manufactured from high-quality
quartz and is under high pressure.
Damage, soiling, and fingerprints should be
avoided and, if necessary, removed with alco-
hol before installing the bulb.
When the headlights are switched on, the
bulbs produce a certain amount of UV radia-
tion. In order to avoid any impairment of health
(burning and conjunctivitis), the bulb should
only be used in closed headlights with appro-
priate UV–absorbing front glass.
Due to the risk of burning, the bulb should be
left to cool down for 3 minutes after switching
off before touching.
Due to the use of mercury and various salts,
the bulb should be treated as special waste
when discarded.
The bulb may only be operated with a suitable
ballast which produces very high voltages
when switched on and during operation.
Contact with bulb and wires should therefore
be avoided and a safe distance of at least 30
mm should be maintained.
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
CAUTION
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
Use the same number type and wattage as
originally installed.
Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable. 3. When the broken bulb is located in the headlight
assembly under the air duct, carefully remove the
clips and rotate the air duct
jc clockwise a 1/4
of a turn.
4. Remove the cap (
jAorjB ) of the headlight as-
sembly.
5. Turn the connector 1/4 of a turn in the anti clock- wise direction and remove the headlight bulb.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re- moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
7. Where removed (step 3.), re-install the air duct
jc and clips in the order of removal.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the bonnet.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
