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.

* : with roof rail When planning to travel in another country,
you
should first find out if the fuel available is suitable for
your vehicle’s engine.
Using fuel with too low octane/cetane rating may
cause engine damage. Therefore, avoid taking your
vehicle to areas where appropriate fuel is not avail-
able.
When transferring your vehicle registration to an-
other country, check with the appropriate authori-
ties that the vehicle complies with the requirements
as it may not be possible to adapt it. In some cases,
a vehicle cannot meet the legal requirements and in
other cases, it may be necessary to modify the ve-
hicle to meet specific laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle emission
control and safety standards vary according to the
country; therefore, vehicle specifications may differ.
NISSAN is not responsible for any inconvenience
when the vehicle is taken and registered into an-
other country. The necessary modifications,
transportation and registration are the owner’s
responsibility.

NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Today, the efforts made by NISSAN to fulfil our
responsibilities to protect and sustain the environ-
ment are far-reaching. Within NISSAN, we promote
the highest levels of practice in every region and in
every area of operations.
COMPLIANCE AT EVERY STEP
NISSAN focuses on ensuring that end of life vehicle
components are reused, recycled or recovered as
thermal energy, and guarantees compliance with EU
legislation (the End of Life Vehicle Directive).
WE BUILD OUR VEHICLES WITH
RECYCLING IN MIND
Reducing landfill waste, emissions, conserving natu-
ral resources, and enhancing recycling activities are
emphasised daily in our manufacturing, sales and
service operations and in the disposal of end of life
vehicles (ELV).
Design phase
To reduce environmental impact we have developed
your NISSAN vehicle to be 95% recyclable. We
mark the components to facilitate dismantling, recy-
cling and to reduce hazardous substances. We
carefully verify and control substances of concern.
We have already reduced to a minimum the cad-
mium, mercury and lead in your NISSAN vehicle.
NISSAN includes recycled material in your vehicle
and looks for opportunities to increase the percent-
age of recycled materials used.
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-europe.com.
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.
