Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Use the roof rack only when necessary
Only install the roof luggage system when you really
need it, otherwise put it inside the vehicle or store it
in your garage. Do not drive around with an empty
roof rack, kayak holder, or ski rack, this will reduce
your aerodynamic drag significantly.
Optimise the use of air conditioning
The air conditioning system has a positive effect on
driving and vehicle safety through comfort cooling
and dehumidifying, drivers are more alert and have
better visibility when window demisting/defogging
becomes necessary. However, use of the air condi-
tioning system will increase fuel consumption sub-
stantially in an urban environment. Optimise the use
of air conditioning by using the vents as much as
possible.
Use the parking brake on slopes
Use the parking brake when holding your vehicle on
a slope. Avoid using the clutch (manual transmis-
sion) or the accelerator (automatic transmission or
continuously variable transmission) to hold your ve-
hicle as this leads to unnecessary fuel consumption
and wear.
Maintain a safe distance
Anticipate traffic conditions for a smoother drive and
to assure comfort and safety during your trip. Drive
and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
while in traffic. This will help reduce fuel consump-
tion as you will not be constantly tapping your
brakes.
Check your tyre pressure
Low tyre pressure increases fuel consumption as
well as the use of non-recommended tyres. Correct
tyre pressure will maximise the grip of your vehicle
and optimise fuel consumption.
Have your car serviced regularly
Regular service allows you to run your vehicle in
optimal condition and with the best fuel efficiency.
Have your vehicle serviced by your NISSAN dealer
or a qualified workshop to ensure that it is main-
tained to its original standard.
