●Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
● Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im-
proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

3. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 sec-onds after starting. Do not race the engine
while warming it up. Drive at moderate
speed for a short distance first, especially in
cold weather.
In cold weather, keep the engine running for
a minimum of 2–3 minutes before shutting it
off. Starting and stopping the engine over a
short period of time may make the vehicle
more difficult to start.
SWITCHING ENGINE OFF
Push the ignition to the off position.
To prolong the engine life (especially after ex-
tended high speed, high ambient temperature, or
during heavy load operation, such as trailering) , it
is recommended that a hot engine be idled for
3–5 minutes before shutting down. This allows
the turbocharged engine to cool down.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
● Warm up the engine before operating it un-
der load.
● Do not operate the engine at idle for ex-
tended periods. ●
Prevent engine lugging by selecting the ap-
propriate transmission gear.
● Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and tem-
perature gauges.
● Check fluid levels frequently (oil and cool-
ant) .
● Vary the throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying weight or towing.
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine reaches
its full efficiency. If the engine is operated
in this manner reduced fuel economy and
power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be ob-
served for the first 6,000 miles. The engine run-in
is improved by operating the vehicle under load.
REMOTE START (if so equipped)

●If the “Low Fuel Pressure Service Fuel
System” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display with the
engine running, complete a full key
cycle and restart the vehicle. If the mes-
sage is still displayed or the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light is illuminated after
a full key cycle , it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT (stage
2)
NOTE:● It is possible the “Low Fuel Pressure
Service Fuel System” message will dis-
play on the vehicle information display
after fuel filter replacement due to air
being introduced into the fuel system. ●
If the “Low Fuel Pressure Service Fuel
System” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display with the
engine running, complete a full key
cycle and restart the vehicle. If the mes-
sage is still displayed or the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light is illuminated after
a full key cycle , it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for service.
● For additional information on the loca-
tion of the fuel filter (stage 2) , refer to
the “Engine compartment check loca-
tions” in this section.
