• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
• Before servicing the vehicle: Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trou ble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine cont rol system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and TM sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000012433163
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
FuelINFOID:0000000012433164
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 91).
CAUTION:
• Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect th e emission control system, and may
also affect the warranty coverage.
• Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way
catalyst.
• Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically designed for E-15 or E-85 fuel can adversely
affect the emission control devices and systems of the vehicle. Damage caused by such fuel is not
covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
• Do not use fuel that contains the octane boo ster methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT). Using fuel containing MM T may adversely affect vehicle pe rformance and vehicle emissions.
Not all fuel dispensers are labeled to indicate MMT content, so you may have to consult your gaso-
line retailer for more details. Note that Federal and California laws prohibit the use of MMT in refor-
mulated gasoline.
