PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil.

civic amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for the disposal of used oil and used oil filters. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the
environment will vary from country to country.
