Air NISSAN NOTE 2006 Owners Manual

WARNING
•Operating the engine without the air cleaner
filter, can cause you or others to be burned.
The air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake
air, it also stops flame if the engine backfires.
If the air cleaner filter is not installed and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
•Do not drive without the air cleaner filter.
•Be careful when working on the engine with-
out the air cleaner filter.
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The filter elementj1 should not be cleaned and
reused.
Replace it according to the maintenance schedule.
For details, see the separately provided Warranty
Information & Maintenance Booklet. When replac-
ing the filter, wipe the inside of the air cleaner hous-
ing and the cover with a damp cloth.
DRY PAPER TYPE (where fitted)
Check the filter elementj1 to see if it is dirty. If it is
dirty, shake the element to remove dust.
Clean or replace it according to the maintenance
schedule. For details, see the separately provided
Warranty Information & Maintenance Booklet. When
cleaning or replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the
air cleaner housing and the cover with a damp cloth.
CLEANING
Clean the outside of the windscreen or back door
window with a washer solution or a mild detergent.
The windscreen is clean if beads do not form when
rinsing with clear water.
Clean the blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked in a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Then rinse the
blade with clear water. If the windscreen or back
door window is still not clear after cleaning the
blades and using the wiper, replace the blades.
CAUTION
•After wiper blade replacement, return the
wiper arm to its original position. Otherwise it
may be damaged when the bonnet is opened.
•Make sure the wiper blade contacts the glass.
Otherwise, the arm may be damaged from
wind pressure.
•Do not open the bonnet when the front wiper
is in the servicing position other wise it can
damage the paint surface of the bonnet.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
CAUTION
Never use a fuse of higher or lower amperage
rating than that specified on the fuse box cover.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, check
for an open fuse.
The fuse box is located in the lower part of the
instrument panel at the driver’s side.
The affected circuits
j2 are shown on the back of
the fuse box lidj1.
1. Make sure the ignition switch and the headlight
switch are in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the fuse box lid.
3. Locate and remove the fuse with the fuse puller
(where fitted).
NOTE
The fuse puller is stored in the fusebox.4. If the fuse is openjA , replace it with a new fusejB.
5. Close the fuse box lid.
NOTE
If the new fuse opens again, after installing,
have the electrical system checked and re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

TYRE AGE
Remember tyre age. Never use a tyre over six years
old, regardless of whether they have been used or
not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as the use they are
subjected to. Have the tyres checked and balanced
frequently by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Report all accidents where the tyre is knocked
even if it is minor.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. Recommended types and sizes are men-
tioned in “Wheels and tyres” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
The use of tyres other than those recommended or
the mixed use of tyres of different brands, construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tyre clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height.
WARNING
Some of these effects may lead to accidents and
could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front
wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission
damage.
SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare wheel/tyre can be identi-
fied by the temporary-use spare tyre label which
contrasts to the standard road wheels. If in doubt,
contact a NISSAN dealer, qualified workshop or
see “Spare tyre” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section.
CARE OF WHEELS
For details, see “Care of wheels” in the “7. Appear-
ance and care” section.

engine coolant.Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by the warranty, even
if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.
*3: Using fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic Fluid type D ATF may cause deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability and may damage the automatic trans-

Technical information9-3

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol engine
Unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95
(RON) must be used.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the catalytic converter.
Diesel engine
EN590Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must be
used.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions.
•Above –7°C (20°F)...Summer type diesel fuel.
•Below–7°C(20°F)...Wintertypedieselfuel.
If you are in any doubt, please consult a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
•Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in the diesel engine, this can
cause engine damage.
•Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels to
diesel fuel.
•Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low −7°C (20°F). Cold temperatures will cause
wax to form in the fuel and may prevent the
engine from running smoothly.
Outside Temperature Range

PETROL OR DIESEL ENGINE OIL
m
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY
NUMBER
5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS (where fitted)
The air conditioning system in this NISSAN ve-
hicle must be charged with the HFC-134a (R-
134a) refrigerant and the NISSAN A/C System
Oil Type R (CR14DE or HR16DE engine models)
or Type S (K9K engine models) lubricant, or the
exact equivalents.
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage and will lead to the vehicle’s entire
air conditioning system replacement.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not
recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a (R-
134a) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming. NISSAN recommends
that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
when servicing your air conditioning system.
