T O PRO TECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION
GUID-77 A08170-1F EB-45EA-BDB 9-316B61A611C0
. Wash and wax your vehicle oftentokeep the
vehicle clean.
. Always checkforminor damage tothe paint
surface andifany exists, repairitas soon as
possible.
. Keep thedrain holes inthe lower edgeofthe
doors opentoavoid water accumulation.
. Check thevehicle underbody foraccumulation of
sand, dirtorsalt. Ifpresent, washwithwater as
soon aspossible.
CAUTION:
. Never remove dirt,sand orother debris from
the passenger compartment bywashing it
out with ahose. Remove dirtwith avacuum
cleaner.
. Never allowwater orother liquids tocome in
contact withelectronic components inside
the vehicle asthis may damage them.
Chemicals usedforroad surface deicingareextremely
corrosive. Theyaccelerate corrosionanddeterioration
of underbody components suchasthe exhaust system,
fuel and brake lines,brake cables, floorpanand
fenders.
In the winter, theunderbody mustbecleaned
periodically.
For additional protection againstrustandcorrosion,
which mayberequired insome areas, consult a

to prevent thevehicle frommoving. Move
the shift lever tothe ªPº(Park) position (CVT
model) orthe shift lever tothe ªNº(Neutral)
position (MTmodel) . .
Besure theignition switchisin the ªOFFº or
ªLOCKº position whenperforming anyparts
replacement orrepairs.
. Do not work under thehood while the
engine ishot. Always turnoffthe engine
and wait until itcools down.
. Ifyou must workwiththeengine running,
keep yourhands, clothing, hairandtools

. Never getunder thevehicle whileitis
supported byajack.
. Keep smoking materials, flameandsparks
away fromfuelandthebattery.
. Never connect ordisconnect eitherthe
battery orany transistorized component
connector whiletheignition switchisin the
ªONº position.
. Ongasoline enginemodels withtheMulti-
port Fuel Injection (MFI)system, thefuel
filter andfuel lines should beserviced bya
NISSAN dealerbecause thefuel lines are
under highpressure evenwhen theengine is
turned off.
. Your vehicle isequipped withanautomatic
engine cooling fan.Itmay come onatany
time without warning, evenifthe ignition switch
isin the ªOFFº position andthe
engine isnot running. To avoid injury, always

can hurt theenvironment. Alwaysconform to
local regulations fordisposal ofvehicle
fluids.
This ª8.Maintenance anddo-it-yourselfº section
provides instructions regardingonlythose itemswhich
are relatively easyforanowner toperform.
