EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
E12-A-120227-046A8C36-D5E5-4D69-ADC8-229087CE51D8
WARNING:
. Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all windows
fully open, and have the vehicle inspected
immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period of time.
. Keep the rear hatch closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the rear hatch open, follow these
precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation mode off and
set the fan speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
of the rear hatch or the body, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. If a special body or other equipment is
added for recreational or other usage, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, under-
body, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
E12-A-120227-690162E7-1047-4DE5-8BF4-2AA75FE84D3C
WARNING:
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flam-
mable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
wastepaper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gas in the
three-way catalyst is burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION:
. Do not use leaded gasoline. (See “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
(P.9-2).) Deposits from leaded gasoline ser-
iously reduce the ability of the three-way
catalyst to help reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage the three-way catalyst.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical
systems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine
misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by a NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
