To open the fuel filler lid, pull up the opener lever,
located below the instrument panel on the driver’s
side. To lock, close the fuel filler lid securely.
FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Tighten the
cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are heard.
Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder as illustrated
while refuelling.
WARNING
•Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.
•Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap half
a turn and wait for any hissing sound to stop,
in order to prevent fuel from spraying out and
causing possible personal injury.
•Use only a NISSAN fuel filler cap or exact
equivalent as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation ofthe fuel system and emission control system.
An incorrect cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury.
CAUTION
If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away
with water to avoid paint damage.

Air recirculation button
m:
Outside air circulation
•Press the air recirculation () button to the

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
any snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

Radio
•Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
are normally caused by these external influences.
•Using a mobile phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
•Use the antenna for the best reception.
Compact Disc (CD) player
•During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to the humidity. If this
occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or
ventilate the player completely.
•The player may skip while driving on rough
roads.
•Occasionally, the CD player may not function
when the compartment temperature is ex-
tremely high. Decrease the temperature be-
fore use.
•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
•CDs that are of poor quality, dirty, scratched,
covered with finger prints, or that have pin
holes may not work properly.
•The following CDs may not work properly.
•Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
•Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
•Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
•Do not use the following CDs as they may
cause the CD player to malfunction.
•8 cm (3.1 in) discs with an adaptor
•CDs that are not round
•CDs with a paper label

band.
If the battery is disconnected, or if the fuse blows,
the radio memory will be erased. In that case, reset
the desired stations after battery connection or fuse
replacement.
Radio Data System (RDS) operation
(where fitted)
The RDS is a system through which encoded digital
information is transmitted by FM radio stations in
addition to the normal FM radio broadcasting. The
RDS provides information services such as station
name, traffic information, or news.
NOTE
•In some countries or regions, some of these
services may not be available.
Alternative Frequency (AF) mode:
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio) mode.
•The AF mode operates in the FM (radio), AUX or
CD mode (if FM was previously selected in the
radio mode).
•The AF function compares signal strengths and
selects the station with the optimum reception
conditions for the currently tuned-in station.
