2008 NISSAN NOTE jack

•If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases.
•Never get under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported only by a jack. If it is necessary to work
under the vehicle, support it with safety
stands.
•Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and battery.
•Never connect or disconnect either the bat-
tery or any transistorised component connec-
tor while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
•Never leave the engine or transmission re-
lated component harness connector discon-
nected while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
•On petrol engine models with the multiport
fuel injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter or
fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop because the fuel
lines are under high pressure even when the
engine is off.
•Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
•Failure to follow these or other common sense
guidelines may lead to serious injury or ve-
hicle damage.
