NISSAN CVT SIC0697 - Manual (Page 214)

When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precau-
tions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
¼ Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. Move the selector
lever to the P (Park) position.
¼ Be sure the ignition key is OFF or
LOCK when performing any parts re-
placement or repairs.
¼ Your vehicle is equipped with an au-
tomatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warning,
even if the ignition key is in the OFF
position and the engine is not run-
ning. To avoid injury, always discon-
nect the negative battery cable be-
fore working near the fan.
¼ If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
¼ It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and any jewelry,
such as rings, watches, etc. before
working on your vehicle.
¼ Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.
¼ If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
¼ Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is nec-
essary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
¼ Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel and the bat-
tery.
¼ On gasoline engine models with the
Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) Sys-
tem, the fuel filter or fuel lines should
be serviced by a NISSAN dealer be-
cause the fuel lines are under high
pressure even when the engine is off.
CAUTION
¼ Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn off the engine
and wait until it cools down.
¼ Never connect or disconnect either
the battery or any transistorized
component connector while the igni-
tion key is on.
¼ Never leave the engine or the CVT
related component harness connec-
tor disconnected while the ignition
key is on.
¼ Avoid direct contact with used engine
oil and coolant. Improperly disposed
engine oil, engine coolant and/or
other vehicle fluids can hurt the envi-
ronment. Always conform to local
regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.
