Preventive maintenance is the easiest and least
expensive type of maintenance. Keep records of
regularly scheduled maintenance and follow the
maintenance schedule recommendations out-
lined in the “Titan Owner’s Manual”.
Use the correct fuel, lubricating oil, and coolant in
your engine. Blending engine oil with fuel is pro-
hibited for engines with an aftertreatment system.
For additional information refer to the “Capacities
and Specifications” section in this manual.
A NISSAN dealership knows your vehicle. When
you require any service or have any questions,
they will be glad to assist you with the extensive
resources available to them.
DIESEL ENGINE OPERATION
The operation of the diesel engine in your new
vehicle varies from the operation of traditional
gasoline engines found in other vehicles. Read-
ing this supplement will familiarize you and other
operators of the vehicle with the unique mainte-
nance and operating procedures that will prolong
the life of the diesel engine and related systems.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
●Warm up the engine before operating it un-
der load
● Do not operate the engine at idle for ex-
tended periods
● Prevent engine lugging by selecting the ap-
propriate transmission gear
● Monitor the vehicle oil pressure and tem-
perature gauges
● Check fluid levels frequently (Oil & Coolant)
● Vary the throttle position at highway speeds
when carrying weight or towing
NOTE:
Extended light or no load operation will
extend the time before the engine reaches
its full efficiency. If the engine is operated
in this manner, reduced fuel economy and
power may be observed.
The aforementioned procedure should be ob-
served for the first 6,000 miles. The engine run-in
is improved by operating the vehicle under load.
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized
two-stage filtration system and consists of: ● A frame-mounted primary (stage 1) fuel filter
containing water/fuel separator, electric fuel
pump, and water in fuel drain valve
● An engine-mounted secondary (stage 2)
fuel filter
● A fuel injector for each cylinder (8 total)
● A high-pressure fuel pump
● A high-pressure fuel rail for each cylinder
bank (2 total)
● High-pressure fuel lines from the high-
pressure fuel pump to the right bank fuel rail,
right bank fuel rail to the left bank fuel rail,
and fuel rails to fuel injectors.
The stage 1 fuel filter separates water and filters
impurities from the fuel. The stage 2 fuel filter
filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The
stage 1 and stage 2 fuel filters should be
changed at the recommended service interval or
when indicated by the information display. For
additional information, refer to the “Titan Owner’s
Manual”.

Low Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
warning light
When this warning light illuminates, the DEF fluid
needs to be topped off.
For additional information, refer to the “Fuel and
refueling” section of this manual.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning
light
When the warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the
specified amount of the limit in the filter and the
filter needs to regenerate. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Diesel Particulate Filter” in the
“Maintenance” section of this manual.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warn-
ing light on without performing the filter
regeneration, this will lead to particle mat-
ter overload in the filter. If this happens,
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will
turn on to indicate the necessity that a
NISSAN or qualified dealer performs the
service regeneration. The performance of
the engine might be limited to protect the
DPF system.
Vehicle information display
The vehicle information display shows various
meters and gauges that pertain to the diesel
engine. The information that can be found within
the vehicle information display is as follows:
Exhaust temperature gauge
The exhaust temperature gauge is part of the
Auxiliary Gauges in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Turbo meter
The turbo meter shows the amount of engine
boost.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) LEVEL
This gauge indicates the level of DEF in the diesel
system.
The DEF LEVEL information screen can be
turned ON/OFF in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “How to use
the vehicle information display” in the “Vehicle
information display” section of the owner’s
manual.
Water in Fuel warning light
If this light illuminates, pull off of the road in a safe
area, stop the engine and immediately drain the
water from the fuel sediment filter. For additional
information, refer to “Draining water” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
Malfunction Warning Light (red)
If the warning light illuminates this indicates either
coolant temperature is above a critical threshold
or the exhaust temperatures are above a critical
threshold. When illuminated this lamp indicates
the need to stop the engine as soon as it can be
safely done. The engine must remain shut down
until the engine can be repaired.
