CLEANING INTERIOR

Occasionally remove loose dust from the

interior trim, plastic parts and seats using

a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.

Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a

clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap

solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft

cloth.

Regular care and cleaning is required in

order to maintain the appearance of the

leather.

Before using any fabric protector, read

the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Some fabric protectors contain chemicals

that may stain or bleach the seat materi-

al.

CHROME PARTS

Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-

abrasive chrome polish to maintain the

finish.

Never use benzine, thinner, or any

similar material.

NISSAN does not recommend the use of

tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a

is applied to the tires, it may react with

the coating and form a compound. This

compound may come off the tire while

driving and stain the vehicle paint.

dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing

is completely removed from the tire

tread/grooves.

side down or backwards.

It is recommended that you use

only genuine NISSAN floor mats

specifically designed for use in

your vehicle model and model

year.

Properly position the mats in the

floorwell using the floor mat po-

AIR FRESHENERS

Most air fresheners use a solvent that

could affect the vehicle interior. If you use

an air freshener, take the following pre-

cautions:

Hanging-type air fresheners can

cause permanent discoloration when

they contact vehicle interior surfaces.

Place the air freshener in a location

that allows it to hang free and not

contact an interior surface.

Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip

on the vents. These products can

cause immediate damage and disco-

loration when spilled on interior sur-

faces.

Periodically check the floor mats

to make sure they are properly

installed.

After cleaning the vehicle interior,

check the floor mats to make

Your vehicle is equipped with floor mat

positioning hook(s). The number and

shape of the floor mat positioning hook

pending on the vehicle.

Carefully read and follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions before using air fresh-

eners.

FLOOR MATS

When installing genuine NISSAN floor

mats, follow the installation instructions

provided with the floor mat and the

following:

1. Position the floor mat in the floorwell

so that the floor mat grommet holes

are aligned with the hook(s).

The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can

about installing the floor mats in your

vehicle.
