REPLACING SPARK PLUGS

Iridium-tipped spark plugs

It is not necessary to replace iridium-tipped

A

spark plugs as frequently as conventional type
spark plugs because they last much longer. Fol-
low the maintenance log shown in the “NISSAN
Service and Maintenance Guide”. Do not service
iridium-tipped spark plugs by cleaning or regap-
ping.

Always replace spark plugs with rec-

ommended or equivalent ones.

WARNING

Be sure the engine and ignition switch are
off and that the parking brake is engaged
securely.

CAUTION

Be sure to use the correct socket to re-
move the spark plugs. An incorrect socket
can damage the spark plugs.

If replacement is required, see your NISSAN
dealer for assistance.

WARNING

Operating the engine with the air

cleaner filter off can cause you or oth-
ers to be burned. The air cleaner filter
not only cleans the intake air, it also
stops the flame if the engine backfires.
If the air cleaner is not installed and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
Never drive with the air cleaner filter off.
Be cautious working on the engine
when the air cleaner is off.

To remove the filter from the air cleaner, release
the retaining clips
