window NISSAN NOTE 2006 Owner's Guide

•Brake and clutch fluids are poisonous and
should be stored carefully in marked contain-
ers out of the reach of children.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid level
is between the MIN
j2 and MAXj1 lines or the
brake warning light comes on, add fluid up to the
MAX line.
See “Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants”
in the “9. Technical information” section for the rec-
ommended brake and clutch fluid type.
If fluid must be added frequently, the system should
be thoroughly checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
•NISSAN recommends that refilling and check-
ing the brake and clutch systems should be
left to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
who will have the necessary fluids and techni-
cal knowledge.
•Do not spill the fluid on painted surfaces. This
will damage the paint. If fluid is spilled, wash
with water.
WARNING
Anti-freeze window washer is poisonous and
should be stored carefully in marked containers
out of the reach of children.
•Check the fluid level in the window washer res-
ervoir. If the fluid level is low, add window washer
fluid up to the MAX level.
•Refill the reservoir more frequently when driving
conditions require an increased amount of win-
dow washer fluid.
•Add a washer solvent to the water for better
cleaning. In the winter season, add a window
washer anti-freeze. Follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for the mixture ratio.
CAUTION
•Do not substitute anti-freeze engine coolant
for window washer solution. This may result
in damage to the paint.
•Always use window washer fluid recom-
mended by NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

ommends to visually check the green indicatorjA status periodically. If it is not visible, replace
the battery as soon as possible.
•If battery replacement or check is required, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
REINITIALISATION PROCEDURE
AFTER BATTERY RECONNECTION
Power window (Driver’s side —
where fitted)
When the vehicle battery has been connected, the
system must be reinitialised as follows:
1. Push down and hold the driver’s side window
switch until the window glass is completely low-
ered then release the switch.
2.In one continuous operation, pull up and hold
the driver’s side window switch until the window
glass is completely closed and continue holding
the switch for a further 5 seconds.
3. The system is now reinitialised.
Repeat the procedure every time the vehicle battery
is connected.
If the reinitialisation procedure cannot be performed
successfully, take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
JUMP-STARTING
If jump-starting is necessary, see “Jump-starting” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section. If the engine
does not start by jump starting, the battery may have
to be replaced. Contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
8-16Maintenance and do-it-yourself

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.

Manufacturing phase
NISSAN plants based in the UK and Spain already
achieve a recycling rate of over 90% and are look-
ing for further improvements. The UK plant installed
8 windmills to cut carbon dioxide emissions at power
plants by more than 3,000 tonnes per year. Since
the end of March 2007, NMISA (Spain) uses a solar
panel water heating system to save energy. This will
generate 33% of the energy consumed in the baths
during the painting of your vehicle.
Production and distribution phase
Using resources efficiently to reduce the amount of
waste generated during the production and distribu-
tion stage. NISSAN promotes activities based on
Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling materials when-
ever possible. The NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
2010 (NGP2010) is our midterm environmental ac-
tion plan defining our goals for achieving a 100%
recycling rate for operations in Japan and globally.
Use and service phase
NISSAN dealers are our window to you, our cus-
tomer. In order to meet your expectations they pro-
vide not only high quality services but are also envi-
ronmentally responsible. NISSAN promotes activi-
ties to recycle the waste generated as a result of
service centre activities.
Disposal phase
Recycle your end of life vehicle or its components.
When your NISSAN reaches the end of its life, and
is no longer suitable for daily use, it still has value.You can help prevent waste affecting the environ-
ment by bringing your NISSAN to be recycled at our
collection networks in your area. Our collection net-
works guarantee no cost for the treatment of your
ELV. For further information on how and where to
dispose of your ELV refer to your local NISSAN
dealer or consult: www.nissan.eu.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
WHEN DRIVING
Your driving behaviour has significant impact on fuel
economy and the environment. Follow the tips be-
low for better fuel-efficiency, better driving habits,
and to be environmentally friendly by reducing emis-
sions:
Defensive driving
Anticipating traffic conditions and acting accordingly
reduces fuel consumption, helping to protect of our
natural environment. Take your foot off the accelera-
tor while approaching traffic lights and avoid last
minute braking when the light turns red.
Avoid speeding, harsh acceleration, and strong
braking. The gain in time does not offset pollution of
the environment. Try to maintain speed when driving
uphill to reduce fuel consumption and pollution.
Maintain speed or allow the vehicle to go slower
where traffic allows.
Close windows when driving
Driving with a window open at 100 km/h (62 MPH)
increases fuel consumption by up to 4%. Driving
with the windows closed allows for better fuel
economy.
Optimise the use of air conditioning
The air conditioning system has a positive effect on
driving and vehicle safety through comfort cooling
and dehumidifying, drivers are more alert and have
better visibility when window demisting/defogging
becomes necessary. However, use of the air condi-
tioning system will increase fuel consumption sub-
stantially in an urban environment. Optimise the use
of air conditioning by using the vents as much as
possible.
Use the parking brake on slopes
Use the parking brake when holding your vehicle on
a slope. Avoid using the clutch (manual transmis-
sion) or the accelerator (automatic transmission) to
hold your vehicle as this leads to unnecessary fuel
consumption and wear.
Maintain a safe distance
Anticipate traffic conditions for a smoother drive and
to assure comfort and safety during your trip. Drive
and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
while in traffic. This will help reduce fuel consump-
tion as you will not be constantly tapping your
brakes.
Check your tyre pressure
Low tyre pressure increases fuel consumption as
well as the use of non-recommended tyres. Correct
tyre pressure will maximise the grip of your vehicle
and optimise fuel consumption.
