•
Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
•
Keep the back door closed while driving, oth-
erwise exhaust gas could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must drive
with the back door open, follow these precau-
tions:
– 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 connections
must pass to a trailer through the seal of the
back door or the body, follow the manufactur-
er’s recommendation to prevent carbon mon-
oxide entry into the vehicle.
•
If a special body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
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 in-
spected by a qualified mechanic whenever:
– Your vehicle is raised while being serviced.
– You suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
– You notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
– You have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
WARNING
•
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. Keep people, animals and flammable
materials away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
•
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, wastepa-
per 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 petrol. (See “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in
the “9. Technical information” section.) De-
posits from leaded petrol seriously 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 sys-
tems may cause overrich fuel to flow into the
three-way catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if
noticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected. Have
the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
•
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.
