Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane

rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-

ber (Research octane number 91).
QR25DE engine Spec-V only

ber (Research octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,

unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating

of at lease 87 AKI (Research octane number 91)

can be used, but only under the following precau-

tions:

● have the fuel tank filled only partially with

unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with

unleaded premium as soon as possible.

● avoid full throttle driving and abrupt accel-

eration.

However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.

CAUTION

● Using a fuel other than that specified

could adversely affect the emission

control system, and may also affect the

warranty coverage.

● Under no circumstances should a

leaded gasoline be used, because this

will damage the three-way catalyst.

● Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle.

Your vehicle is not designed to run on

E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage

the fuel system components and is not

covered by the NISSAN new vehicle lim-

ited warranty.
