Refill the reservoir more frequently when driving
conditions require an increased amount of win-
dow washer fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN Wind-
shield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Anti-
freeze or equivalent.

CAUTION

Do not substitute engine anti-freeze

coolant for window washer solution.
This may result in damage to the paint.

Do not fill the window washer reservoir

tank with washer fluid concentrates at
full strength. Some methyl alcohol
based washer fluid concentrates may
permanently stain the grille if spilled
while filling the window washer reser-
voir tank.

Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with

water to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir tank.
Do not use the window washer reservoir
tank to mix the washer fluid concen-
trate and water.

● Keep the battery surface clean and dry.

Clean the battery with a solution of baking
soda and water.

● Make certain the terminal connections are

clean and securely tightened.

● If the vehicle is not to be used for 30 days or

longer, disconnect the negative (-) battery
terminal cable to prevent discharge.

WARNING

Do not expose the battery to flames, an

electrical spark or a cigarette. Hydro-
gen gas generated by the battery is ex-
plosive. Explosive gases can cause
blindness or injury. Do not allow battery
fluid to contact your skin, eyes, fabrics
or painted surfaces. Sulfuric acid can
cause blindness or injury. After touch-
ing a battery or battery cap, do not
touch or rub your eyes. Thoroughly
wash your hands. If the acid contacts
your eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for at least 15 minutes
and seek medical attention.

Do not tip the battery. Keep the vent

caps tight and the battery level.

Do not operate the vehicle if the fluid in

the battery is low. Low battery fluid can
cause a higher load on the battery
which can generate heat, reduce bat-
tery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.

When working on or near a battery, al-

ways wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.

Battery posts, terminals and related ac-

cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.

Keep battery out of the reach of

children.
