BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR

ance and condition. Also check tire
pressure for proper inflation.
• Check to be sure that area around car is
clear.
• Make sure that the hood is closed
securely.
AFTER ENTERING THE CAR
Lock all doors.
Position seats.
Adjust head restraints.
Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers
to do likewise.

IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION
Fluid levels such as engine oil, engine coolant, brake and clutch fluid, windshield washer
fluid, battery fluid should be checked frequently, or at least whenever you refuel.
This is not only a good practice but is especially important to owners using "self-service"
service stations. It is normal, especially in the case of engine oil and coolant, to have to
add oil or coolant solution between recommended maintenance intervals. Low or
improper fluid levels can cause serious damage to your car. If frequent replenishment is
required, take your car to your NISSAN/DATSUN dealer or other competent service
facility for necessary correction. Further details are described in "Do-lt-Yourself".
