nistan and Iraq):

FUEL INFORMATION

Model with three-way catalyst

Use UNLEADED PREMIUM gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 91 (RON).

CAUTION:

Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded

gasoline will damage the three-way catalyst.

VK56DE engine model:

Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 91 (RON).

VK56VD engine model (except for Mexico):

Except for South Africa: Use UNLEADED PRE-

MIUM gasoline with an octane rating of at least

95 to 98 (RON).

For South Africa: Use UNLEADED PREMIUM

gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95

(RON).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not used,

UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline with an octane

rating of at least 91 (RON) may be used at

slightly reduced performance. However, for

maximum vehicle performance and the best

driveability, the use of unleaded premium

gasoline is recommended.

VK56VD engine model (for Mexico):

Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock

Index) number.

VQ40DE engine model (except for Algeria,

Turkmenistan and Iraq):

Use UNLEADED REGULAR gasoline with an

octane rating of at least 91 (RON).

Technical information 9-5

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM REFRIGER-

ANT AND LUBRICANT

The air conditioner system of your vehicle must

be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a

(R134a) and the lubricant NISSAN A/C System

Oil Type S or equivalents.

CAUTION:

Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants

will cause severe damage, and you may need

to replace your vehicle’s entire air condi-

tioner system.

The release of refrigerants into the atmosphere

is prohibited in many countries and regions.

The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your

vehicle will not harm the Earth’s ozone layer.

However, it may contribute in a small part to

the global warming effect. NISSAN recom-

mends that the refrigerant be appropriately

recovered and recycled. Contact

a NISSAN

dealer when servicing the air conditioner

system.
