*2: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine
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:Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.

FUEL INFORMATION
Petrol engine
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the catalytic converter.
MR20DD engine:
Use UNLEADED REGULAR petrol with an octane
rating of at least 91 (RON).
HRA2DDT engine:
Use UNLEADED PREMIUM petrol with an octane
rating of at least 95 (RON).
For further details, see “Fuel information” in the
“9. Technical information” section.
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel above 51 cetane and with less than 10
ppm of sulphur (EN590 and Euro 5 specification)
must be used.
For further details, see “Fuel information” in the
“9. Technical information” section.
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
BLUE CITIZENSHIP
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, 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% recoverable. 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.
