and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
.Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
.Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
.Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.
.Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of

any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death whenfilling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
.If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
.Tighten until the fuel-filler cap
clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly may cause the
malfunction indicator light
(MIL) to illuminate. If the
light
illuminates because the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should
turn off after a few driving trips. If

light does not turn off after
a few driving trips, have the vehicleinspected by a NISSAN dealer.
