Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply thehandbrake.
2. Start the engine. If the engine is cold, start and let the engine idle until it reaches the operational
temperature.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes for the engine oil to drain back into the oil pan.
5. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Models with M9R engine: the engine oil dipstick
is attached to the engine oil filler cap. Remove
the engine oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick
clean.
7. Reinsert it all the way. Models with M9R engine: install the engine oil
filler cap.
8. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be in the normal range
j1.
9. If the oil level is below MIN
j2 , remove the en-
gine oil filler cap and pour the recommended oil
through the opening. Do not overfill
j3.
10. Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.
11. Install the engine oil filler cap securely.
12. Close the bonnet. It is normal to add some engine oil between oil
maintenance intervals depending on the severity
of operating conditions or depending on the prop-
erty of the engine oil used. More engine oil is
consumed by frequent acceleration/deceleration
especially when the engine rpm is high. Con-
sumption is likely to be higher when the engine
is new. If the rate of oil consumption, after hav-
ing driven for 5,000 km (3,000 miles), is more
than 0.5 litre per 1,000 km (621 miles), consult a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
NISSAN recommends contacting a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for engine oil
servicing.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Used oil must not be poured into the ground,
canals, rivers, etc. It should be disposed of at
a rubbish tip having proper facilities. Check
your local regulations.
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine
oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Avoid direct skin contact with used oil. If skin
contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner and plenty of water as soon
as possible.
Store used engine oil in marked containers
out of the reach of children.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Only hold the xenon headlight bulb by the
base.
The bulb is manufactured from high-quality
quartz and is under high pressure.
Damage, soiling, and fingerprints should be
avoided and, if necessary, removed with alco-
hol before installing the bulb.
When the headlights are switched on, the
bulbs produce a certain amount of UV radia-
tion. In order to avoid any impairment of health
(burning and conjunctivitis), the bulb should
only be used in closed headlights with appro-
priate UV–absorbing front glass.
Due to the risk of burning, the bulb should be
left to cool down for 3 minutes after switching
off before touching.
Due to the use of mercury and various salts,
the bulb should be treated as special waste
when discarded.
The bulb may only be operated with a suitable
ballast which produces very high voltages
when switched on and during operation.
Contact with bulb and wires should therefore
be avoided and a safe distance of at least 30
mm should be maintained.
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
CAUTION
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
Use the same number type and wattage as
originally installed.
Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable. 3. When the broken bulb is located in the headlight
assembly under the air duct, carefully remove the
clips and rotate the air duct
jc clockwise a 1/4
of a turn.
4. Remove the cap (
jAorjB ) of the headlight as-
sembly.
5. Turn the connector 1/4 of a turn in the anti clock- wise direction and remove the headlight bulb.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re- moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
7. Where removed (step 3.), re-install the air duct
jc and clips in the order of removal.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the bonnet.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
