mat positioning hook(s).

SEAT BELTS

The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them
with a sponge dampened in a mild soap
solution. Allow the belts to dry completely in
the shade before using them.

See “Seat belts” (P.1-10).

WARNING

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in
the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or
chemical solvents to clean the seat

belts, since these materials may se-
verely weaken the seat belt webbing.

MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRI-
BUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION

. The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt

and debris in body panel sections, cavities,
and other areas.

. Damage to paint and other protective coat-

ings caused by gravel and stone chips or
minor traffic accidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLU-
ENCE THE RATE OF CORROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the
vehicle body underside can accelerate corro-
sion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely
inside the vehicle, and should be removed for
drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.

Relative humidity

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high
relative humidity, especially those areas where
the temperatures stay above freezing where
atmospheric pollution exists, or where road salt
is used.

Appearance and care

7-7

CORROSION PROTECTION

7-8

Appearance and care

Temperature

A temperature increase will accelerate the rate
of corrosion to those parts which are not well
ventilated.

Air pollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air
in coastal areas, or heavy road salt use will
accelerate the corrosion process. Road salt will
also accelerate the disintegration of paint
surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION

. Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the

vehicle clean.

. Always check for minor damage to the paint

and repair it as soon as possible.

. Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors

open to avoid water accumulation.

. Check the underbody for accumulation of

sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water
as soon as possible.

CAUTION

. NEVER remove dirt, sand or other

debris from the passenger compart-
ment by washing it out with a hose.

Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

. Never allow water or other liquids to

come in contact with electronic
components inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are
extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion
and deterioration of underbody components
such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.

In winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.

For additional protection against rust and
corrosion, which may be required in some areas,
it is recommended you consult a NISSAN
dealer.

8-2

Do-it-yourself

When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take care
to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or
damage to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.

WARNING

. Park the vehicle on a level surface,

apply the parking brake securely
and block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from moving. Move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position
(CVT model) or the shift lever to the
N (Neutral) position (MT model).

. Be sure the ignition switch is in the

OFF or LOCK position when per-
forming any parts replacement or
repairs.

. If you must work with the engine

running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.

. It is advisable to secure or remove

any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.

. Always wear eye protection when-

ever you work on your vehicle.

. If you must run the engine in an

enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.

. Never get under the vehicle while it

is supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.

. Keep smoking materials, flame and

sparks away from fuel tank and the
battery.

. Because the fuel lines are under

high pressure even when the engine
is off, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for service of the
fuel filter or fuel lines.

CAUTION

. Do not work under the hood while

the engine is hot. Turn the engine
off and wait until it cools down.

. Avoid direct contact with used en-

gine oil and coolant. Improperly
disposed engine oil, and engine

coolant and/or other vehicle fluids
can damage the environment. Al-
ways conform to local regulations
for disposal of vehicle fluid.

. Never leave the engine or the CVT

related component harnesses dis-
connected while the ignition switch
is in the ON position.

. Never connect or disconnect the

battery or any transistorized com-
ponent while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.

. Your vehicle is equipped with an

automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.

A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s manual/service manual
order information” (P.10-22).)

You should be aware that incomplete or

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties or excessive emissions, and could
affect your warranty coverage. If in doubt
about any servicing, it is recommended
you have it done by a NISSAN dealer.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and
50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze
and coolant protection. The anti-freeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling system additives are not neces-
sary.

WARNING

. Never remove the radiator or cool-

ant reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. Wait until the engine and
radiator cool down. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator.
See precautions in “If your vehicle
overheats” (P.6-11) of this manual.

. The radiator is equipped with a

pressure type radiator cap. To pre-
vent engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

. If the engine was stopped soon

when the engine is hot, the cooling
fan may operate for approximately
10 minutes after the engine was
stopped to cool the components in
the engine compartment. When the

cooling fan is operating, be sure
that hands or other items do not get
caught in it.

CAUTION

. Never use any cooling system ad-

ditives such as radiator sealer. Ad-
ditives may clog the cooling system
and cause damage to the engine,
transmission and/or cooling sys-
tem.

. When adding or replacing coolant,

be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide
antifreeze protection to -34

(-37

8C). If additional freeze protec-

tion is needed due to weather where
you operate your vehicle, add Gen-
uine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) concentrate follow-
ing the directions on the container.
If an equivalent coolant other than
Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-
freeze/Coolant (blue) is used, fol-

low the coolant manufacture’s
instructions to maintain minimum
antifreeze protection to -34

(-37

8C). The use of other types of

coolant solutions other than Genu-
ine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) or equivalent may
damage the engine cooling system.

. The life expectancy of the factory-fill

coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000
km) or 7 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) , including Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (green), or the use of non-
distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. Refer to the “9. Maintenance
and schedules” section of this man-
ual for more details.

SDI2641

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Check the coolant level in the reservoir when
the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below
the MIN level

, open the reservoir cap and

add coolant up to the MAX level

. If the

reservoir is empty, check the coolant level in the
radiator when the engine is cold. If there is
insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator
with coolant up to the filler opening and also add
it to the reservoir up to the MAX level

Tighten the cap securely after adding engine
coolant.

If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this

service.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT

It is recommended that major cooling system
repairs be performed by a NISSAN dealer. The
service procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.

Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.

WARNING

. To avoid the danger of being

scalded, never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.

. Never remove the radiator cap when

the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator.

. Avoid direct skin contact with used

coolant. If skin contact is made,
wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.

. Keep coolant out of reach of chil-

dren and pets.

Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
