wind. It could be blown by the wind,
striking someone or damaging the top.
. Do not allow anyone to stand up or
extend any portion of their body out
of the opening while the vehicle is in

WARNING
.Never install a cover or film (for
example window tint) on the sky-
light glass. This may cause the dual
pop-up roll bars to operate impro-
perly and could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
rollover. (see “Dual pop-up roll bar
system (CrossCabriolet models)” in
the “1. Safety — Seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system”
section.)
CAUTION
.Do not operate the top when the
temperature is below 328F (08C) .
This may result in damage to the
top material or operating system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or
sand from the top, and dry the
surface of the top completely before
opening it.
. Do not open the top when it is wet
or damp. This may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material.
. Be sure to turn off the rear window
defroster switch. Never turn it on
while the top is being operated or
fully opened. The heat may damage
the top material.
SPA2691
CAUTION
.Do not place any objects between
the top cloth and the structure.
Doing so could interfere with top
operation and cause damage to the
top operating system or the objects.
. Do not place anything on the top,
rear parcel shelf, inner flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may
interfere with the top operation
and could cause damage to the top
or the vehicle body.

. Do not sit or place anything on the
top, rear parcel shelf, inner flaps,
storage lid and trunk lid, especially
when the top is being operated. The
top may be damaged.
. Do not drive the vehicle with the top
partially opened. Always make sure
the top is either fully opened or
closed before driving.
. Secure items so that they cannot be
blown from the vehicle while driving
with the top open.
. Do not operate the top manually
except for emergency cases. Manual
operation may damage the top.
. Be sure to fully open or fully close
the top. Do not release the switch
half way through the roof opening
or closing process. If the top is only
partially opened, significant da-
mage to the top could occur.
. Do not operate the top if the dual
pop-up roll bars have been acti- vated. Extended dual pop-up roll
bars may interfere with top opera-
tion and could cause damage to the
top or the vehicle body.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed before
operating the top.

emergency or when an immediate dealer service
is not available, close the top manually accord-
ing to the procedures shown in this section.
When closing the soft top manually:

opened.
. If the top cannot be operated prop-
erly, see a NISSAN dealer as soon
as possible to have your vehicle
checked.

CARE OF THE SOFT TOP AND THE
VEHICLE BODY
GUID-85248970-F9FC-4037-98ED-B29AF18639F5To use your CrossCabriolet safely and comfor-
tably, you need to observe all the warnings and
cautions shown in the previous pages. Also, to
maintain a good appearance of the soft top and
the vehicle body, you need to care for them by
cleaning and/or washing properly.
CAUTION
.
Do not use an automatic car wash or
a high-pressure car wash to clean
your vehicle. The top may be da-
maged and water may leak into the
inside of the vehicle.
. Store the vehicle with the top closed
if it is not to be used for long
periods. Keeping the top stowed
for long periods may cause wrinkles
on the surface of the top.
See “Cleaning exterior” in the “7. Appearance
and care” section for detailed instructions.

WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.

cle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage. .
Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten the fuel-filler
cap until a single click is heard.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator light (MIL) to
illuminate. If the
light illumi-
nates because the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
. The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will
appear if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly after the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears
may cause the
Malfunction

WARNING
.
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is necessary
for proper steering operation and
comfort. The driver’s air bag inflates
with great force. If you are unrest-
rained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries from
the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far
away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
