mishandled. Always stop engine
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
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when

filling 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
the

light does not turn off after

a few driving trips, have the vehicle

inspected by a NISSAN dealer.

For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
