A key number plate is supplied with your key.
Record the key number found on the key
number plate and keep it in a safe place
(such as your wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. If
you lose your keys, see your NISSAN
dealer for duplicates by using the key num-
ber. NISSAN does not record key numbers
so it is very important to keep track of your
key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by your NISSAN
dealer or locksmith shop.

type. Tighten the cap clockwise until ratch-
eting clicks are heard.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly,
the MIL may come on.

cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. Always stop the engine and

safety valve needed for proper op-
eration of the fuel system and emis-
