CAUTION! Do not leave children, disabled persons or pets in the car. They may harm themselves if they act carelessly. In addition, on hot sunny days the temperature in a closed car can quickly rise and become dangerous or even fatal for people and animals.
Exhaust gases (carbon monoxide)
Do not inhale exhaust fumes. They contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide, which is hazardous to health. If inhaled, it causes loss of consciousness and, if exposed for a long time, death.
If you suspect that exhaust gases are entering the vehicle, you should immediately open all windows and inspect the car after stopping.
Do not run the engine in closed areas (for example in the garage).
Do not allow the engine to idle for long periods of time.
You should not stay inside a parked car with the engine running for a long time.
In the event of a forced stop for a long period of time with the engine running, the fan should be turned on to ensure fresh air enters the passenger compartment.
Three-stage neutralizer (if any)
The catalytic converter is built into the exhaust system and is designed to burn exhaust gases at high temperatures in order to reduce the amount of pollutants in them. In addition, the catalytic converter is one of the most important components of the electronic engine control system.
Exhaust gas and exhaust system components have a high operating temperature. When the engine is running, do not allow people or flammable materials to be near the exhaust pipe.
Do not park your vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, scraps of paper or cloth.

When parking, ensure that people and flammable materials are not near the exhaust pipe.
To avoid damage to the neutralizer
Use ONLY UNLEADED GASOLINE of the grade specified in the section "Recommended fuel" chapters "Technical information". Using leaded gasoline will cause the catalytic converter to fail.
The use of leaded gasoline is not permitted. The sediment formed by leaded gasoline significantly reduces the effectiveness of the catalytic converter in reducing the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
It is important to keep the engine in tune. Malfunctions in the ignition system, carburetor or electrical systems can allow rich fuel residues to enter the catalytic converter, causing it to overheat. Do not continue to operate the vehicle if there is frequent misfires, significant loss of speed or other unusual changes in engine performance. In such cases, have the vehicle inspected immediately by a Nissan dealer.
Avoid operating the vehicle with insufficient fuel in the fuel tank. Otherwise, the resulting interruptions in the ignition system may damage the catalytic converter.
After starting a cold engine, do not increase the engine speed abruptly.
If the engine does not start from the battery, do not try to start it by towing the vehicle.
