If the air cleaner filter is not installed and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
•Do not drive without the air cleaner filter.
•Be careful when working on the engine with-
out the air cleaner filter.

washer solution or a mild detergent. Then rinse the
blade with clear water. If the windscreen or back
door window is still not clear after cleaning the
blades and using the wiper, replace the blades.

wiper arm to its original position. Otherwise it
may be damaged when the bonnet is opened.
•Make sure the wiper blade contacts the glass.
Otherwise, the arm may be damaged from
wind pressure.
•Do not open the bonnet when the front wiper
is in the servicing position other wise it can
damage the paint surface of the bonnet.

RECOMMENDED FUEL
Petrol engine
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the three-way catalyst.
Unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95
(RON) must be used.
For further details, see “Fuel recommendation” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
Diesel engine
EN590 Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must be
used.
NOTE
Use only low sulphur diesel.
For further details, see “Fuel recommendation” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
CAUTION
•Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in the diesel engine, this can
cause engine damage.
•Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels to
diesel fuel.
•Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low −7°C (20°F). Cold temperatures will cause
wax to form in the fuel and may prevent the
engine from running smoothly.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Today, the efforts made by NISSAN to fulfil our
responsibilities to protect and sustain the environ-
ment are far-reaching. Within NISSAN, we promote
the highest levels of practice in every region and in
every area of operations.
COMPLIANCE AT EVERY STEP
NISSAN focuses on ensuring that end of life vehicle
components are reused, recycled or recovered as
thermal energy, and guarantees compliance with EU
legislation (the End of Life Vehicle Directive).
WE BUILD OUR VEHICLES WITH
RECYCLING IN MIND
Reducing landfill waste, emissions, conserving natu-
ral resources, and enhancing recycling activities are
emphasised daily in our manufacturing, sales and
service operations and in the disposal of end of life
vehicles (ELV).
Design phase
To reduce environmental impact we have developed
your NISSAN vehicle to be 95% recyclable. We
mark the components to facilitate dismantling, recy-
cling and to reduce hazardous substances. We
carefully verify and control substances of concern.
We have already reduced to a minimum the cad-
mium, mercury and lead in your NISSAN vehicle.
NISSAN includes recycled material in your vehicle
and looks for opportunities to increase the percent-
age of recycled materials used.
