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 (if so equipped) sur- faces 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 (if so equipped). Before using any fabric protector, read the manufacturer's recommendations. Some fabric protectors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the seat material. Use a cloth dampened only with water to clean the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant classifi- cation sensor. This can also affect the operation of the air bag system and re- sult in serious personal injury.
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, pol- ishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage the leather's natural finish.
• Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens cover.
• Never use chloride solutions for cleaning aluminum decoratives (if so equipped), damage may occur.
AIR FRESHENERS 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 con- tact 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 im- mediate damage and discoloration when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufac- turer's instructions before using the air fresheners. POWER MOONROOF (if so equipped) The sunshade is made from a tricot material.
CAUTION To help prevent damaging the moon- roof while cleaning:
• Do not rub the material with a cloth.
Doing so can damage the surface of the material or cause a stain to spread.
• Never use benzine, thinner or any similar chemical to clean the sun- shade. This may discolor the moon- roof and damage the surface.
• Clean water based stains by patting the surface with a clean soft cloth dampened in warm water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the surface to remove as much dampness as pos- sible and then let air dry.
• Clean oil based stains by patting the surface with a clean soft cloth damp- ened in warm water. Press a clean dry cloth onto the surface to remove as much dampness as possible and then let air dry.
FLOOR MATS (if so equipped)
WARNING To avoid potential pedal interference that may result in a collision, injury or death: •
NEVER place a floor mat on top of another floor mat in the driver front position or install them upside down or backwards.
• Use only Genuine NISSAN floor mats, or equivalent floor mats, that are specifically designed for use in your vehicle model and model year.
• Properly position the mats in the floorwell using the floor mat posi- tioning hook. For additional informa- tion, see “Floor mat installation” (P. 7-6 ).
• Make sure the floor mat does not in- terfere with pedal operation.
•Periodically check the floor mats to make sure they are properly installed.
•After cleaning the vehicle interior, check the floor mats to make sure they are properly installed.
The use of Genuine NISSAN floor mats can extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean the interior. Mats should be maintained with regular clean- ing and replaced if they become exces- sively worn.
Floor mat installation Your vehicle is equipped with floor mat po- sitioning hook(s). The number and shape of the floor mat positioning hooks for each seating position varies depending on the vehicle.
When installing Genuine NISSAN floor mats, follow the installation instructions provided with the mat and the following: 1. With the ignition switch in the OFF posi-
tion, the shift lever in P (Park) position and with the parking brake fully applied, position the floor mat in the floorwell so that the floor mat grommet holes are aligned with the hook(s).
2. Secure the grommet holes into the hook(s) and ensure that the floor mat is properly positioned.
3. Make sure the floor mat does not inter- fere with pedal operation. With the igni- tion switch still in the OFF position, the shift lever in the P (Park) position and with the parking brake applied, fully ap- ply and release all pedals. The floor mat must not interfere with pedal operation or prevent the pedal from returning to its normal position.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for details about installing the floor mats in your vehicle.

Allow the belts to dry com- pletely in the shade before using them. For additional information, see “Seat belt main- tenance” (P. 1-25).
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 se- verely weaken the seat belt webbing.
