PRECAUTIONS ON PERFORMANCE
DRIVING
Checking the temperature of the
coolant and oils on the multi- func-
tion display
When the temperatures of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal
range, the color of the meter on the multi-
function display turns red to warn the driver.
When engaging in high performance driving,
switch the display to the function meter to
display the temperature of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure. When the color of
the meter display turns red, perform cool down
driving. When the values of the temperature and
pressure return to the normal range, the color of
the meter display will turn back to white.
Warning temperature:
. Engine coolant temperature: 2308F (1108C)
or higher
. Engine oil temperature: 2758F (1358C) or
higher
. Transmission oil temperature: 2848F
(140 8C) or higher
Cool down
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of
the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine.
Refueling precautions
WARNING
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. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
vehicle has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Fluids
. Before driving, check the fluid levels and
adjust as necessary using the specified fluid
as described under the conditions listed in
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS. If you

to the 2012 NISSAN Service and Main-
tenance Guide.
