•Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank af ter the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire.
• Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices
when filling. –
Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
• Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. For additional information,
refer to “Fuel recommendation” in
the “Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.
• The Loose Fuel Cap warning mes-
sage will appear if the fuel-filler cap
is not properly tightened. It may take
a few driving trips for the message to
be displayed. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly af ter the
Loose Fuel Cap warning message ap-
pears may cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate. •
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
light illuminates
because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off af ter a few
driving trips. If thelight does not
turn off af ter a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
• For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.

WARNING
• Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
