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.

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
10 wind turbines to cut carbon dioxide emissions at
power plants by more than 3,000 tonnes per year.
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 paint-
ing 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. NISSAN’s goal is to achieve 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 ourcollection 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 or con-
sult: www.nissan-global.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:
Fuel efficient 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.
Use the roof rack only when necessary
Only install the roof luggage system when you really
need it, otherwise put it inside the vehicle or store it
in your garage. Do not drive around with an empty
roof rack, kayak holder, or ski rack, this will reduce
your aerodynamic drag significantly.
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 (continuously variable trans-
mission) to hold your vehicle as this leads to unnec-
essary 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.
Have your car serviced regularly
Regular service allows you to run your vehicle in
optimal condition and with the best fuel efficiency.
Have your vehicle serviced by your NISSAN dealer
or a qualified workshop to ensure that it is main-
tained to its original standard.
