Fuel-filler cap
● Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.
You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
● Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
● Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause
the 
Malfunction Indicator
Light
(MIL) to come on.
● Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.
● Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death when filling portable fuel containers.
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
● The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message
will be displayed if the fuel-filler
cap is not properly tightened. It may
take a few driving trips for the message
to be displayed. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning message is displayed
may cause the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
● Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the light illuminates
because
the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle.
The light should turn off
after a
few driving trips. If the
light
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information, see the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in the “Instruments and Controls” section in this manual.
