GAS STATION INFORMATION

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions:

￿Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon as pos- sible.

￿Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accelera- tion.

However, for maximum vehicle perfor- mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso- line is recommended.

CAUTION

￿Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission control system, and may also affect the warranty coverage.

￿Under no circumstances should a

leaded gasoline be used, because this will damage the three-way cata- lyst.

￿Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN vehicle limited warranty.
