1. Engine oil replacement indicatorGUID-9CEF8B90-48A9-4FB5-BFD9-0CF43586EC4FThis indicator appears when the customer set
time comes for changing the engine oil. You can
set or reset the distance for changing the engine
oil. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)
2. Oil filter replacement indicatorGUID-C344252D-B1CB-46F2-AEAD-7C37EC262221This indicator appears when the customer set
time comes for replacing the oil filter. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing the oil
filter. (See “Trip computer” later in this section.)
3. Tire replacement indicatorGUID-1A74526D-9B7C-43A3-95CF-62EFC05FBC61This indicator appears when the customer set
distance comes for replacing tires. You can set
or reset the distance for replacing tires. (See
“Trip computer” later in this section.)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” in the “8.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion. Many factors including tire infla-
tion, alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and whentires should be replaced. Setting the
tire replacement indicator for a certain
driving distance does not mean your
tires will last that long. Use the tire
replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
4. “OTHER” indicatorGUID-17015DA7-2755-4CAC-AF46-619CAF47DE9DThis indicator appears when the customer set
time comes for replacing items other than the
engine oil, oil filter and tires. You can set or reset
the distance for replacing the items. (See “Trip
computer” later in this section.)
More maintenance reminders are also available
on the center display (if so equipped). (See
“How to use INFO button” in the “4. Monitor,
heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section.)

Fuel Economy informationGUID-D6FC79E8-7233-412E-95F9-9C2F07165942The approximate distance to empty, average fuel
economy and current fuel economy will be
displayed for reference.
To reset the average fuel economy (Avg Fuel
Econ or Average Fuel Economy) , select the
“Reset Fuel Eco” or “Reset” key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” or “View” key is
selected, the average fuel consumption history
will be displayed in graph form along with the
average for the previous Reset-to-Reset period.
The unit can be converted between “US” and
“Metric”. (See “How to use SETTING button”
later in this section.)
The fuel economy information may differ from the
information displayed on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display. This is due to the timing
difference in updating the information and does
not indicate a malfunction.

Upper vent systemGUID-19867573-E52A-4FE3-A98D-EAD52DA785CDWhen the “” upper vent system button is
pushed, the air flow against the driver’s or
passenger’s upper body becomes gentle. The
indicator light on the button will come on.
In this mode, air from the center ventilators flows
both straight and upward in order to control the
cabin temperature without blowing air directly
on the occupants.
If you want strong air flow against your upper
body, push the “
” button to turn the indicator
light off.
TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON/OFFGUID-47724BF7-EA71-42CD-B9E2-1924EE973459Push the “OFF” or “ON·OFF” button when the
heater and air conditioner is off. The system will
turn on with the settings that were used
immediately before the system was turned off.

OPERATING TIPSGUID-7630774E-D2E9-4A30-80CE-5991156106D5The sunload sensor*Aon the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTERGUID-2A733D05-72A8-4084-85C6-C44B8D240310The air conditioning system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the NISSAN Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. To replace the filter, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
The filter should be replaced if air flow is extremely decreased or when windows fog
up easily when operating heater or air
conditioning system.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONERGUID-50FE276B-3951-41D5-85EB-DF3E3DB9E09DThe air conditioning system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not
harm the earth’s ozone layer. However,
special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your NISSAN air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. (See “Capacities and
recommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Techni-
cal and consumer information” section for air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.)
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioning system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under
high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician
with the proper equipment.

GUID-706DBDF3-66DE-4E0B-A1AF-17943A0D7966When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take care
to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or
damage to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
.Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely
and block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from moving. Move the
selector lever to P (Park) .
. Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when per-
forming any parts replacement or
repairs.
. If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
. It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.
. Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle. .
If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
. Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported 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 tank and the
battery.
. The fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by a NISSAN dealer be-
cause the fuel lines are under high
pressure even when the engine is
off.
CAUTION
.Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine
off and wait until it cools down.
. Avoid direct contact with used en-
gine oil and coolant. Improperly
disposed engine oil, and engine
coolant and/or other vehicle fluids
can damage the environment. Al- ways conform to local regulations
for disposal of vehicle fluid.
. Never leave the engine or the CVT
related component harnesses dis-
connected while the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
. Never connect or disconnect the
battery or any transistorized com-
ponent while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
gives instructions regarding only those items
which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s Manual/Service Man-
ual order information” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section.)
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating

Pull the tabs*1and pull out the cover*2.
The air cleaner filter should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the maintenance
log shown in the “NISSAN Service and Main-
tenance Guide”. When replacing the filter, wipe
the inside of the air cleaner housing and the
cover with a damp cloth.
WARNING
. Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops
flame if the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not drive
with the air cleaner removed, and be
careful when working on the engine
with the air cleaner removed.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body or attempt to start the engine
with the air cleaner removed. Doing
so could result in serious injury.
