CAUTION ● Never use benzine, thinner or any similar material. ● Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damaging to leather surfaces and should be removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage the leather's natural finish. ● Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer. ● Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens cover. ● Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the vents. These products can cause immediate damage and discoloration when spilled on interior surfaces. Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions before using the air fresheners. FLOOR MATS WARNING To avoid potential pedal interference that may result in a collision or injury: ● NEVER place a floor mat on top of another floor mat in the driver front position. ● Use only genuine NISSAN floor mats specifically designed for use in your vehicle model. See your NISSAN dealer for more information. ● Properly position the mats in the floorwell using the floor mat positioning aid. See ؆Floor mat positioning aid؆ in this section. The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean the interior. Mats should be maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if they become excessively worn. LPD0477 Floor mat positioning aid This vehicle includes a front floor mat bracket to act as a floor mat positioning aid. Genuine NISSAN floor mats have been specially designed for your vehicle model. The driver's and passenger's side floor mats have a grommet hole incorporated in them. Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket hook through the floor mat grommet hole while centering the mat in the floorwell. Periodically check to make certain the mats are properly positioned. AIR FRESHENERS Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take the following precautions: ● Hanging-type air fresheners can cause permanent discoloration when they contact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air freshener in a location that allows it to hang free and not contact an interior surface. Appearance and care 7-5
