When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precau-
tions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
쐌 Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. For manual trans-
mission models, move the shift lever
to N (Neutral) position. For automatic
transmission models, move the se-
lector lever to P (Park).
쐌 Be sure the ignition key is in the OFF
or LOCK position when performing
any parts replacement or repairs.
쐌 If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
쐌 It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.
쐌 Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.
쐌 If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
쐌 Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is nec-
essary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
쐌 Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from the fuel tank and
battery.
쐌 On gasoline engine models with the
multiport fuel injection (MFI) system,
the fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by a NISSAN dealer because
the fuel lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.
CAUTION
쐌 Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine off
and wait until it cools down.
쐌 Avoid contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed en-
gine oil, engine coolant and/or other
vehicle fluids can damage the envi-
ronment. Always conform to local
regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.
쐌 Never connect or disconnect the bat-
tery or any transistorized component
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
쐌 Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
