CONSUMER AND USER SAFETY
INFORMATION (REACh)
NISSAN plants based in the UK already achieve a
recycling rate of over 90% and are looking for fur-
ther improvements. The UK plant installed 10 wind
turbines to cut carbon dioxide emissions at power
plants by more than 3,000 tonnes per year.
REACh is the chemical regulation in the EU, focusing
on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Re-
striction of Chemicals manufactured in or imported
into the European Economic Area. Nissan complies
with REACh obligations, and fully supports its un-
derlying goals: to protect human health and reduce
the environment from risks posed by chemicals. For

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
WHEN DRIVING
Your driving behaviour has significant impact on
fuel economy and the environment. Follow the tips
below for better fuel-efficiency, better driving hab-
its, and to be environmentally friendly by reducing
emissions:
NISSAN dealers are our window to you, our cus-
tomer. In order to meet your expectations they pro-
vide not only high quality services but are also envi-
ronmentally responsible. NISSAN promotes activi-

Design phase
Disposal phase
Fuel efficient driving
To reduce environmental impact we have devel-
oped your NISSAN vehicle to be 95% recoverable.
We mark the components to facilitate dismantling,
recycling and to reduce hazardous substances. We
carefully verify and control substances of concern.
We have already reduced to a minimum the cad-
mium, mercury and lead in your NISSAN vehicle.
NISSAN includes recycled material in your vehicle
and looks for opportunities to increase the percent-
age of recycled materials used.
Recycle your end of life vehicle or its components.
When your NISSAN reaches the end of its life, and is
no longer suitable for daily use, it still has value. You
can help prevent waste affecting the environment
by bringing your NISSAN to be recycled at our col-
lection networks in your area. Our collection net-
works guarantee no cost for the treatment of your
ELV. For further information on how and where to
dispose of your ELV refer to your local NISSAN dealer
Anticipating traffic conditions and acting accord-
ingly reduces fuel consumption, helping to protect
of our natural environment. Take your foot off the
accelerator while approaching traffic lights and
avoid last minute braking when the light turns red.
Avoid speeding, harsh acceleration, and strong
braking. The gain in time does not offset pollution
of the environment. Try to maintain speed when
driving uphill to reduce fuel consumption and pollu-
tion. Maintain speed or allow the vehicle to go
slower where traffic allows.
