d. You have had an accident involv-

ing damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE WAY CATALYST

The three way catalyst is an emission control

device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust

gases in the converter are burned at high tem-

peratures to help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

¼ The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-

tem are very hot. Keep people, ani-
mals or flammable materials away
from the exhaust system compo-
nents.

¼ Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They may
ignite and cause a fire.

CAUTION

¼ Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits

from leaded gasoline seriously re-
duce the three way catalyst’s ability
to help reduce exhaust pollutants.

¼ Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-

tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if
noticeable loss of performance or
other unusual operating conditions
are detected. Have the vehicle in-
spected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer.

¼ Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the three way catalyst.

¼ Do not race the engine while warm-

ing it up.

¼ Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING

SYSTEM (if so equipped)

This vehicle is equipped with the low tire pres-

sure warning system, which displays pressure of

all tires (except the spare tire) on the display

screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is

installed in each wheel.
The low tire pressure warning system will acti-

vate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds

above 20 MPH (32 km/h). Also, this system may

not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for

example, a flat tire while driving).
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the

heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the

outside temperature. Low outside temperature

can lower the temperature of the air inside the

tire which can cause a lower tire inflation pres-

sure. This may cause the low tire pressure

warning light to illuminate.
If the warning light illuminates in low ambient

temperatures as described above, check the tire

pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure

to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown

on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn

the low tire pressure warning light OFF.
Frequently check the tire pressure information

display on the display screen and adjust pres-

sure of each tire properly. (The order of the tire
