GAS STATION INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED FUEL: NISSAN recommends the use of unleaded pre- mium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research oc- tane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not available you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance.

CAUTION

c Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.

c Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way catalyst.

c Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle lim- ited warranty.

For additional information, see (cid:147)Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants in the (cid:147)Technical and consumer information(cid:148) section.

RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL: c Engine oil with API Certification Mark c Viscosity SAE 5W-30
See (cid:147)Engine oil and oil filter recommendation(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Technical and consumer information(cid:148) sec- tion of this manual. TIRE COLD PRESSURE: See Tire and Loading Information label. The label is typically located on the driver side center pillar or on the driver(cid:146)s door. For additional information, see (cid:147)Wheels and tires(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Main- tenance and do-it-yourself(cid:148) section. RECOMMENDED NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE: During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of vehicle use, follow the recommendations outlined in the (cid:147)BREAK-IN SCHEDULE(cid:148) information found in the (cid:147)Starting and driving(cid:148) section of this manual. Follow these recommendations for the future re- liability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in vehicle damage or shortened engine life.
