∙ The original tires have built-intread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
∙ Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified technician because
some tire damage may not be
obvious. Replace the tires as
necessary to prevent tire failure
and possible personal injury.
∙ Improper service of the spare tire may result in serious per-
sonal injury. If it is necessary to
repair the spare tire, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
∙ For additional information re- garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carry- ing capacity as originally equipped. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Wheels and
tires” in the “Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.

∙ Do not use a fuel containing morethan 15% ethanol in your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed to run on a fuel
containing more than 15% ethanol.
Using a fuel containing more than 15%
ethanol in a vehicle not specifically
designed for a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol can adversely affect
the emission control devices and sys-
tems 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 oc- tane booster methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using
fuel containing MMT may adversely
affect vehicle performance and ve-
hicle emissions. Not all fuel dispens-
ers are labeled to indicate MMT con-
tent, so you may have to consult your
gasoline retailer for more details.
Note that Federal and California laws
prohibit the use of MMT in reformu-
lated gasoline. ∙ U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be iden-
tified by a small, square, orange and
black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage
for that region.
Gasoline specifications
NISSAN recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
specifications where it is available. Many of
the automobile manufacturers developed
this specification to improve emission con-
trol system and vehicle performance. Ask
your service station manager if the gaso-
line meets the WWFC specifications.
Reformulated gasoline
Some fuel suppliers are now producing re-
formulated gasolines. These gasolines are
specially designed to reduce vehicle emis-
sions. NISSAN supports efforts towards
cleaner air and suggests that you use re-
formulated gasoline when available.
Gasoline containing oxygenates
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-
ing oxygenates such as ethanol, Methyl
Tert-butyl Ether (MTBE) and methanol with
or without advertising their presence.
NISSAN does not recommend the use of
fuels of which the oxygenate content and
the fuel compatibility for your NISSAN can-
not be readily determined. If in doubt, ask
your service station manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,
please take the following precautions as
the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle
performance problems and/or fuel system
damage.
∙ The fuel should be unleaded and have
an octane rating no lower than that
recommended for unleaded gasoline.
∙ If an oxygenate-blend other than
methanol blend is used, it should
contain no more than 15% oxygenate.
Technical and consumer information10-5

WARNING
∙ Ethanol vapors are extremely flam-mable and could cause serious per-
sonal injury.
∙ Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing
the fuel filler cap or filling the tank.
∙ Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open flame.
Fuel requirements
Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 91), or E-85 fuel, or
any mixture of these two.
For the best starting and vehicle driveabil-
ity results, do not continually switch be-
tween E-85 and unleaded regular gasoline.
If you must switch fuels, NISSAN recom-
mends the following: ∙ do not switch when the fuel gauge indi- cates less than 1/4 full
∙ add more than 5 gallons of fuel
∙ operate the vehicle immediately af ter refueling for a period of at least 5 min-
utes NOTE:
When the ambient temperature is above
90°F (32°C), you may experience hard
starting and rough idle following start
up even if the above recommendations
are followed.
Starting
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it un-
suitable for use when ambient tempera-
tures fall below 0°F (-18°C). In the range of
0°F (-18°C) to 32°F (0°C), you may experience
an increase in the time it takes for you en-
gine to start, and a deterioration in drivabil-
ity (sags and/or hesitations) until the en-
gine is fully warmed up.
Fuel consumption
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per
gallon than gasoline, you will experience an
increase in fuel consumption. You can ex-
pect your fuel mileage to decrease by
about 30% compared to gasoline opera-
tion.
Replacement parts
Many components in your Flexible Fuel Ve-
hicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible
with ethanol. Always be sure that your ve-
hicle is serviced with correct ethanol com-
patible parts.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature
A
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B and C
The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pave-ment as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
