fuels may cause vehicle performance problems
and/or fuel sys�fem damage.
.The fuel should be unleaded and have
an octane rating no lower than that
recommended for unleaded gasoline.
. If an oxygenate-blend, excepting a
methanol blend, is used, it should
contain no more than 10% oxygenate.
(MTBE may, however, be added up to
15%.)
. E-15 fuel contains more than 10%
oxygenate. E-15 fuel will adversely
affect the emission control devices
and systems of the vehicle and should
not be used. Damage caused by such
fuel is not covered under the NISSAN
new vehicle limited warranty.
. If a methanol blend is used, it should
contain no more than 5% methanol
(methyl alcohol and wood alcohol) . It
should also contain a suitable amount
of appropriate cosolvents and corro-
sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-
lated with the appropriate cosolvents
and corrosion inhibitors, such metha-
nol blends may cause fuel system
damage and/or vehicle performance
malfunctions. At this time, sufficient data is not available to ensure that all
methanol blends are suitable for use in
NISSAN vehicles.
If any undesirable driveabili�fy problems such as
engine s�falling or hard ho�f s�far�fing are e�bperi-
enced af�fer using o�bygena�fe-blend fuels, im-
media�fely change �fo a non-o�bygena�fe fuel or a
fuel wi�fh a low blend of MTBE.
NOTICE
Take care not to spill gasoline during
refueling. Gasoline containing oxyge-
nates can cause paint damage.
E-15 fuel
E-15 fuel is a mi�b�fure of appro�bima�fely 15% fuel
e�fhanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can
only be used in vehicles designed �fo run on E-
15 fuel. Do no�f use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S.
governmen�f regula�fions require fuel e�fhanol
dispensing pumps �fo be iden�fified wi�fh small,
square, orange and black label wi�fh �fhe common
abbrevia�fion or �fhe appropria�fe percen�fage for
�fha�f region.
E-85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mi�b�fure of appro�bima�fely 85% fuel
e�fhanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Fle�bible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) . Do
no�f use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. govern-
men�f regula�fions require fuel e�fhanol dispensing
pumps �fo be iden�fified by a small, square,
orange and black label wi�fh �fhe common
abbrevia�fion or �fhe appropria�fe percen�fage for
�fha�f region.
Aftermarket fuel additives
NOTICE
NISSAN does not recommend the use
of any aftermarket fuel additives (Ex-
ample: fuel injector cleaner, intake
valve deposit removers, etc.) which are
sold commercially. Many of these ad-
ditives intended for gum, varnish or
deposit removal may contain active
solvent or similar ingredients that can
be harmful to the fuel system and
engine.

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel D�five (AWD)
sh�buld neve�f be tested using a tw�b wheel
dynam�bmete�f (such as the dynam�bmete�fs used
by s�bme states f�b�f emissi�bns testing) , �b�f simila�f
equipment. Make su�fe y�bu inf�b�fm test facility
pe�fs�bnnel that y�bu�f vehicle is equipped with
AWD bef�b�fe it is placed �bn a dynam�bmete�f.
Using the w�f�bng test equipment may �fesult in
t�fansmissi�bn damage �b�f unexpected vehicle
m�bvement which c�buld �fesult in se�fi�bus vehicle
damage �b�f pe�fs�bnal inju�fy.
Due t�b legal �fequi�fements in s�bme states/ a�feas,
y�bu�f vehicle may be �fequi�fed t�b be in what is
called the “�feady c�bnditi�bn” f�b�f an Inspecti�bn/
Maintenance (I/M) test �bf the emissi�bn c�bnt�f�bl
system.
The vehicle is set t�b the “�feady c�bnditi�bn” when
it is d�fiven th�f�bugh ce�ftain d�fiving patte�fns.
Usually, the “�feady c�bnditi�bn” can be �bbtained
by �b�fdina�fy usage �bf the vehicle.
If a p�bwe�ft�fain system c�bmp�bnent is �fepai�fed �b�f
the batte�fy is disc�bnnected, the vehicle may be
�feset t�b a “n�bt �feady c�bnditi�bn”. Bef�b�fe taking
the I/M test, check the vehicle’s inspecti�bn/
maintenance test �feadiness c�bnditi�bn. Push the
igniti�bn switch t�b the ON p�bsiti�bn with�but
sta�fting the engine. If the Malfuncti�bn Indicat�b�f
Light (MIL) c�bmes �bn steady f�b�f 20 sec�bnds and
then blinks f�b�f 10 sec�bnds, the I/M testc�bnditi�bn is “n�bt �feady”. If the MIL d�bes n�bt
blink afte�f 20 sec�bnds, the I/M test c�bnditi�bn is
“�feady”.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Rec�b�fde�f (EDR) . The main pu�fp�bse �bf an EDR is
t�b �fec�b�fd, in ce�ftain c�fash �b�f nea�f c�fash-like
situati�bns, such as an ai�f bag depl�byment �b�f

unde�fstanding h�bw a vehicle’s systems pe�f-
f�b�fmed. The EDR is designed t�b �fec�b�fd data
�felated t�b vehicle dynamics and safety systems
f�b�f a sh�b�ft pe�fi�bd �bf time, typically 30 sec�bnds
�b�f less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed t�b
�fec�b�fd such data as:
.
H�bw va�fi�bus systems in y�bu�f vehicle we�fe
�bpe�fating;
. Whethe�f �b�f n�bt the d�five�f and passenge�f

. H�bw fast the vehicle was t�faveling.
. S�bunds a�fe n�bt �fec�b�fded.

READINESS FOR INSPECTION/
MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST (US only) EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data ro�ftinely acq�fired d�fring a crash investiga�b
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
eq�fipment is req�fired and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
man�ffact�frer and NISSAN dealer, other parties,
s�fch as law enforcement, that have the special
eq�fipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will
only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle
owner or lessee or as otherwise req�fired or
permitted by law.The Vehicle Stat�fs Data Recorder (VSDR) is
different from the Event Data Recorder de�b
scribed in “Event Data Recorder” in this section.
The VSDR is not a crash�bactivated device, b�ft it
records and acc�fm�flates vehicle data while
driving.
Examples are:
.
Vehicle operating information s�fch as the
wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels
. Engine control information s�fch as the
engine speed and boost press�fre
The VSDR always records and stores vehicle
operating data between periodic inspections,
which can assist and be �fsed for servicing,
diagnosing and performing warranty repairs.
The VSDR does not record so�fnds, conversa�b
tions or images.
To read data recorded by the VSDR, special
eq�fipment is req�fired and access to the vehicle
or the VSDR is needed.
HANDLING OF DATA
NISSAN and third parties affiliated with NISSAN
can acq�fire and �fse the data recorded by the
VSDR in order to confirm the part replacement
history to improve the q�fality of NISSAN
vehicles.
With the exception of the following cases, neither NISSAN nor third parties affiliated with
NISSAN, shall disclose or offer the acq�fired
data to other non�baffiliated third parties.
.
With the agreement of the vehicle owner
. When legally req�fired to, s�fch as when
ordered by a co�frt of law, etc.
. When offering processed data so that
neither the vehicle owner nor the vehicle is
identified, to research centers for statistical
analysis, etc.
