7. Avoid Idling
Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.
9. Winter Warm Up
Limit idling time to minimize impact to
fuel economy.
Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat-
ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever
possible.
When entering a hot vehicle, opening
the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.
Keep your engine tuned up.
Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im-
proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
Use the recommended viscosity engine
oil. For additional information, see “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations”
(P. 10-7).
If any malfunction occurs in the AWD sys-
tem while the engine is running, messages
are displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is dis-
played, there may be a malfunction in the
AWD system. Reduce vehicle speed and
have your vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.
