. Keep the back door closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door 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 back door 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 (gasoline engine
model)
GUID-A05C0B24-1 E58-4351-ACA0-29FB0F3B9753
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 fuel/lubricants and capacities” (P.9-
2).) Deposits from leaded gasoline 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
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.
TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM (diesel engine
model)
GUID-A37822A2-40CD-4BAA-9514-D778D576C643
The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubrication
and cooling of its rotating components. The turbo-
charger turbine turns at extremely high speeds and it
can reach an extremely high temperature. It is essential
to maintain a clean supply of oil flowing through the
turbocharger system. A sudden interruption of oil
supply may cause a malfunction in the turbocharger.
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the
following maintenance procedure.
CAUTION:
. Change the engine oil according to the
recommended intervals shown in a separate
maintenance booklet.
. Use only the recommended engine oil. See
“Recommended fuel/lubricants and capaci-
ties” (P.9-2).
. If the engine has been operating at high rpm
for an extended period of time, let it idle for
a few minutes prior to turn off.
. Do not accelerate your engine to high rpm
immediately after starting it.
