WARNING

. Fuel is extremely flammable and

highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned
or seriously injured if it is misused
or mishandled. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.

. Fuel may be under pressure. Turn

the cap a half of a turn, and wait
for any “hissing” sound to stop to
prevent fuel from spraying out
and possibly causing personal
injury. Then remove the cap.

. Use only an original equipment

type fuel-filler cap as a replace-
ment. It has a built-in safety valve
needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury.

WARNING

. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always
stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near
the vehicle when refueling.

. Do not attempt to top off the fuel

tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Contin-
ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.

. Use only an original equipment

. Never pour fuel into the throttle

body to attempt to start your
vehicle.

. Do not fill a portable fuel contain-

er 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 contain-
ers:

— Always place the container on

the ground when filling.

— Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

— Keep the pump nozzle in con-

tact with the container while
you are filling it.

— Use only approved portable

fuel containers for flammable
liquid.

CAUTION

. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle

body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage.

. Insert the cap straight into the

fuel-filler tube, then tighten until
the fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to
tighten the fuel-filler cap properly
may cause the

malfunction

indicator light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the

light illuminates be-

cause the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The

light should turn

off after a few driving trips. If the

light does not turn off after a

few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-16).

message will be displayed if the
fuel-filler cap is not properly tigh-
tened. It may take a few driving
trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning message is
displayed may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate.
