The individual letters have the following meaning:
The first three letters indicate that this is a Nissan car.
Next «IN» stands for sedan. If this place is «F» it's a coupe (hatchback). For station wagon models, this place is «W».
The next letter indicates the installed engine. «A» used to designate a 1.6 liter engine, «WITH» to designate a 2-litre engine.
Designation «P10» is the factory designation of the series for this version.
The next letter is always «U», since we mean cars for European countries. Next «O» is of no particular importance. This letter is followed by the serial number of the vehicle.
