UNDERBODY
T32A130827-BA480363-16DC-4809-9936-A44F5C56CE12
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, it is
necessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the under-
body and suspension.
Before the winter and again in the spring, the under-
seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
WHEELS
T32A130827-1FED6115-CDF5-4D29-9D6F-978963C17285
. Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
. Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel
is changed or the underside of the vehicle is
washed.
. Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the
wheels.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion.
This may cause loss of pressure or damage the
tire bead.
. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas where
it is used during winter.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS

Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened in
a mild soap solution, especially during winter in areas
where road salt is used. The salt residue from road salt
could discolor the wheels if it is not washed off
regularly.
CAUTION:
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discoloring the wheels:
. Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels
when they are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as ambient temperature.
. Rinse the wheel to completely remove the
cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is
applied.
CHROME PARTS
T32A130827-953BD860-77FB-4AEF-920D-7A4794831B88
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive
chrome polish to maintain the finish.
T32A130827-0D28E95A-3F1F-45DF-A576-219BF9D83DA7
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 manufac-
turer’s recommendations. Some fabri c protectors
contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the seat
material.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to clean the
meter and gauge lens covers.
CAUTION:
. Never use benzine, thinner or any similar
material.
. Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to leather surfaces and should be
removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap,
car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids,
solvents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they damage the natural leather
finish.
. Never use fabric protectors unless recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
. Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the
lens covers.

7-4 Appearance and care
AIR FRESHENERS
GUID-72312FC7-5532-4483-8ACA-46B4476BB1AC
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect the
vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take the
following precautions:
. 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 discoloration when spilled on interior
surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
T32A130827-80572BAF-1108-49C9-B224-42046E7761C4
The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats (if equipped)
can extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it
easier to clean the interior. Regardless of what mats
are used, be sure they are fitted for your vehicle and
are properly positioned in the foot well to prevent
interference with pedal operation. Mats should be
maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if they
become excessively worn.
Floor mat positioning aid
T32A130827-CE644DB4-3148-4C91-A8F6-E821DB544738
JVA0018X
This vehicle includes front floor mat brackets to act as
a floor mat positioning aid. NISSAN floor mats have
been specially designed for your vehicle model.
Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket hook
through the floor mat grommet hole while centering the
mat in the foot area.
Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-
tioned.
GLASS
T32A130827-83E88A14-E247-45C2-BF71-C35DA3CC4E23
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film from
the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to become
coated with a film after the vehicle is parked in the hot
sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will easily remove
this film.
CAUTION:
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not
use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or
chlorine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could
damage the electrical conductors, such as rear
window defogger elements.
SEAT BELTS
T32A130827-F9432F08-3792-4FA4-AA51-AFC4E594F19F
WARNING:
. Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the
retractor.
. Never use bleach, dye or chemical solvents
to clean the seat belts, since these materials
may severely weaken the seat belt webbing.
The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping them with a
sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.
Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade before
using them. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-9).)
