MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS 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 precautions which should be closely observed. WARNING ● Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake securely and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. For a manual transmission, move the shift lever to Neutral. For an automatic transmission, move the shift lever to P (Park). ● Be sure the ignition key is OFF when performing any parts replacement or repairs. ● 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. ● It is advisable to remove ties and any jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc., before working on your vehicle. ● If you must run the engine in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation for exhaust gases. ● Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by a jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands. ● Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks away from fuel and battery. ● 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. ● Never connect or disconnect either the battery or any transistorized component connector while the ignition is on. ● Avoid contact with used motor oil. Improperly disposed motor oil and/or other vehicle fluids can hurt the environment. Always conform to local regulations for disposal of vehicle fluid. This ''Do-it-yourself operations'' section gives instructions regarding only those items which are relatively easy for an owner to perform. You should be aware that incomplete or improper servicing may result in operating difficulties or excessive emissions, and could affect your warranty coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your NISSAN dealer. CAUTION ● Do not work under the hood while the engine is hot. Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. 7-2

When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take
care to prevent serious accidental injury to
yourself
or
damage
to
the
vehicle.
The
following
are
general
precautions
which
should be closely observed.
WARNING
●
Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle
from
moving.
For
a
manual
transmission, move the shift lever to
Neutral. For an automatic transmis-
sion, move the shift lever to P (Park).
●
Be sure the ignition key is OFF when
performing any parts replacement or
repairs.
●
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.
●
It is advisable to remove ties and any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.,
before working on your vehicle.
●
If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases.
●
Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
●
Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel and battery.
●
On gasoline engine models with the
Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) sys-
tem,
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
●
Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine off
and wait until it cools down.
●
Never connect or disconnect either
the
battery
or
any
transistorized
component connector while the igni-
tion is on.
●
Avoid contact with used motor oil.
Improperly
disposed
motor
oil
and/or other vehicle fluids can hurt
the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of ve-
hicle fluid.
This
‘‘Do-it-yourself
operations’’
section
gives
instructions
regarding
only
those
items which are relatively easy for an owner
to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties
or
excessive
emissions,
and
could affect your warranty coverage.
If in
doubt about any servicing, have it done
by your NISSAN dealer.
