Pre-driving checks and adjustments -> Fuel-filler lid for Your Nissan Patrol SUV Sixth Generation (2010-2023)

FUEL-FILLER LID  
WARNING:  
.
Fuel 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.  
.
.
Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap  
a half of a turn, and wait for any “hissing”  
sound to stop to prevent fuel from  
spraying out and possibly causing perso-  
nal injury. Then remove the cap.  
Use only an original equipment type fuel-  
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-  
in safety valve needed for proper opera-  
tion of the fuel system and emission  
control system. An incorrect cap can  
result in a serious malfunction and pos-  
sible injury.  
OPENING FUEL-FILLER LID  
CAUTION:  
WAD0277X  
Lock all doors before going through auto-  
matic car wash. Locking doors helps prevent  
fuel-filler lid from opening and becoming  
damaged.  
CAUTION:  
Do not place your foot on or step on the front  
spoiler and rear bumper with the aerody-  
namic diffuser. Also, do not step on the side  
sill extensions. Doing so may result in da-  
mage to the front spoiler, side sill extensions  
and rear bumper with the aerodynamic  
diffuser.
