• Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-

larly.

• First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepara-

tions containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
• Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face

shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS 

Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.

Air Conditioning

INFOID:0000000009720536

Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
HA section “REFRIGERANT” for specific instructions.

Fuel

INFOID:0000000009720537

FOR CALIFORNIA AND CANADA

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 the emission control system, and may

also affect 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 the vehicle. The 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.

• U.S. government regulations require ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified by a small, square,

orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

FOR MEXICO

CAUTION:

• Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three-way catalyst.
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 (RON).

TOW TRUCK TOWING

Tow Truck Towing

INFOID:0000000009720541

CAUTION:

• All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation

must be obeyed.

• It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-

ing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.

• Always attach safety chains before towing.
• When towing, check that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order. If any

unit is damaged, dollies must be used.

• Never tow a CVT model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on the ground. This may

cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.

2WD MODELS

NISSAN recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.

CAUTION:

• Never tow CVT models with the front wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or

backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the
front wheels. 

• When towing CVT models with the front wheels on towing dollies:
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-

tion with a rope or similar device. Never secure the steering wheel by turning the ignition switch to
the LOCK position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism.

- Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.
• When the battery of vehicle equipped with the Intelligent Key system is discharged, your vehicle

should be towed with the front wheels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck.

• When towing two wheel drive CVT model with the rear wheels on the ground (if you do not use tow-

ing dollies): Always release the parking brake.
