ROOF RACK WITH GEAR BASKET (if so equipped)


Always evenly distribute cargo on the roof rack. The maximum total load is 125 lb (57 kg) evenly distributed, including gear basket. Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Ratings


(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located on the Safety Compli- ance Certification Label (located on the driver’s side door jamb pillar). For more information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to the “Technical and customer infor-

mation” section of this manual. WARNING


Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.


CAUTION


Use care when placing or removing items from the roof rack or gear basket. If you cannot comfortably lift the items onto the roof rack or gear basket from the ground, use a ladder or stool.

FUEL FILLER CAP


APD1082


The fuel filler cap is a screw-on ratcheting type. Turn the cap counter clockwise to remove. Tighten the cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are heard.


WARNING


O Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain con- ditions. You could be burned or se- riously 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.

O Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap one-half turn and wait for any ‘‘hissing’’ sound to stop to pre- from spraying out and vent causing possible personal injury. Then remove the cap.


fuel


O Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refuel- ing may cause fuel overflow, result- ing in fuel spray and possibly fire.


O 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.


O Never pour fuel into the throttle body


to attempt to start your vehicle.


CAUTION


O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.


O Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap properly may cause the mal- function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu- minate. If the lamp illuminates because the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The lamp should turn off after a few driving trips. If the lamp does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN dealer.

O After parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to vent hot air from the passenger compart- ment. Then, close the windows. This allows the air conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.

Servicing air conditioner The air conditioner system in your NISSAN is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equipment and lubricant is required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants causes severe damage to your air conditioner system. See “Air conditioner system refrigerant and lubricant recommen- dations” in the ‘‘Technical and consumer information’’ section of this manual. An authorized NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally ‘‘friendly’’ air conditioner system.


WARNING


The air conditioner system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air condi- tioner service should be done by an experienced technician with proper equipment.

CAUTION


Do not force the cassette tape into the tape door. This could cause player damage.


The cassette tape automatically changes directions to play the other side when the first side is complete. At this time, the mov- ing digital squares illuminate on the left side


of the display window. Precautions on cassette player op- erations O To maintain good quality sound, NIS- SAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.


O Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture and magnetic sources. O Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of de- formed cassettes may cause the cas- sette to jam in the player.


O Do not use cassettes with labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.


O If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jamming and wavering sound quality.


O Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may


collect a tape coating residue as the tape is played. This residue accumu- lation can cause weak or wavering sound, and should be removed peri- odically with a head cleaning tape. If the residue is not removed periodi- cally, the player may need to be disas- sembled for cleaning.

CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position, and carefully insert a cassette tape into the tape door. The cassette tape auto- matically pulls into the player.

CAUTION


Do not force the cassette tape into the tape door. This could cause player damage.


The cassette tape automatically changes directions to play the other side when the first side is complete. Precautions on cassette player op- eration O To maintain good quality sound, NISSAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.


O Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat,


dust, moisture or magnetic sources. O Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of de- formed cassettes may cause the cas- sette to jam in the player.


O Do not use cassettes that have peel- ing or loose labels. If used, the label could jam in the player.


O If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly. Loose tape may cause jamming and wavering sound quality.


O Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may gather a tape coating residue as the tape is played. This residue accumu- lation can cause a weak or wavering sound and should be removed peri- odically with a head cleaning tape. If the residue is not removed periodi- cally, the player may need to be disas- sembled for cleaning.

ANTENNA


The antenna cannot be shortened, but it can be removed. When you need to remove the antenna, turn the antenna rod counterclock- wise. To install the antenna rod, turn the antenna clockwise. Tighten the antenna rod to speci- fication using a suitable tool such as a open-end wrench. The antenna rod tighten- ing specification is 3.4 - 3.6 Nzm (30 - 32
in-lb). Do not use pliers to tighten the an- tenna as they can leave marks on the antenna surface. The antenna rod can not be hand tightened to the proper specifica- tion.


CAUTION


Always properly tighten the antenna rod during installation or the antenna rod may break during vehicle opera- tion.


CAUTION


O During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the humidity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player completely.


O The player may skip while driving on

CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO


When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe the following cautions, otherwise the new equipment may adversely affect the MFI (Multiport Fuel Injection) system and other electronic parts.


AHA1053


WARNING


O A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving. O If you must take a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands free cellular phone operational mode (if so equipped) is highly recom- mended. Exercise extreme caution at all times so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.


4-36 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems


O If a conversation in a moving vehicle requires you to take notes, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle before doing so.


CAUTION


O Keep the antenna as far as possible away from the Engine Control Mod- ule (ECM).


O Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel Injection harness. Do not route the antenna wire next to any harness.


O Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as recommended by the manu- facturer.


O Connect the ground wire from the


CB radio chassis to the body.
