WARNING
cEthanol vapors are extremely flam-
mable and could cause serious per-
sonal injury.
cNever have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when removing the
fuel filler cap or filling the tank.
cDo not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and
never use it near an open flame.
Fuel requirements
Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded regu-
lar gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research oc-
tane number 91) , or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of
these two.
For the best starting and vehicle driveability re-
sults, do not continually switch between E-85
and unleaded regular gasoline. If you must switch
fuels, NISSAN recommends the following:
cdo not switch when the fuel gauge indicates
less than 1/4 full
cadd more than 5 gallons of fuel
coperate the vehicle immediately after refuel-
ing for a period of at least 5 minutesNOTE:
When the ambient temperature is above
90°F (32°C) , you may experience hard start-
ing and rough idle following start up even if
the above recommendations are followed.
Selection of engine oil
For best performance and protection of your ve-
hicle, use only engine oils that meet the following
requirements:
cEngine Oil Selection for Operating on
E-85
If you operate the vehicle on E-85 fuel, use only
SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil for all temperatures.E-
quivalent commercial Flexible Fuel engine oils
may be labeled as Flexible Fuel (FFV) or Alterna-
tive Fuel (AFV) . These engine oils may be satis-
factory if they meet NISSAN standards.
The 5W-30 engine oil installed at the factory
meets the NISSAN requirements for Flexible Fuel
engine oil.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in
Flexible Fuel engines.
CAUTION
If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used
when using E-85, engine wear may be
increased significantly. This may affect
the warranty coverage.
cEngine Oil Selection for Operating on
Gasoline
If you operate the vehicle on regular unleaded
gasoline ONLY use oil that meets certified API
(American Petroleum Institute) Quality as out-
lined in “Engine Oil and Oil Filter Recommenda-
tion” later in this section.
Starting
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuit-
able for use when ambient temperatures fall be-
low 0°F (-18°C) . In the range of 0°F (-18°C) to
32°F (0°C) , you may experience an increase in
the time it takes for you engine to start, and a
deterioration in drivability (sags and/or hesita-
tions) until the engine is fully warmed up.
Fuel consumption
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gal-
lon than gasoline, you will experience an increase
in fuel consumption. You can expect your fuel
mileage to decrease by about 30% compared to
gasoline operation.

RECOMMENDED FUEL:
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-
ber (Research octane number 91) .
If your vehicle is equipped as a Flexible Fuel
vehicle (FFV) your vehicle is designed to use
(E-85) Fuel Ethanol, “Regular” unleaded regular
gasoline or any percentage of the two fuels com-
bined.
CAUTION
cUsing a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect the
warranty coverage.
cUnder no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.
For additional information, see “Capacities and
recommended fuel/lubricants in the “Technical
and consumer information” section.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL:
cAPI Certification Mark
cAPI grade SG, Energy Conserving II or API
grade SH, SJ or SL
cILSAC grade GF-II or GF-IIIc5W-30 Viscosity preferred
If your vehicle is equipped as a Flexible Fuel
Vehicle (FFV) and you operate the vehicle on
E-85 fuel, use only SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil for
all temperatures. Equivalent commercial Flexible
Fuel engine oils may be labeled as Flexible Fuel
(FFV) or Alternative Fuel (AFV) . These engine oils
may be satisfactory if they meet NISSAN stan-
dards.
See “Engine oil and oil filter recommendation” in
the “Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.
TIRE COLD PRESSURE:
See Tire and Loading Information label.
RECOMMENDED NEW VEHICLE
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of vehicle
use, follow the recommendations outlined in the
“BREAK-IN SCHEDULE” information found in
the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.
Follow these recommendations for the future re-
liability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure
to follow these recommendations may result in
vehicle damage or shortened engine life.
