Cleaning interior
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 manufactur- er'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 in the OFF position, the
shift position 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 still in the OFF position, the shift po- sition in the P (Park) position and with the parking brake applied, fully apply 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. 1-31).
Positioning hooks
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.
CLEANING THE SEAT TRACKS
CAUTION
Periodically clean the seat tracks to prevent reduction of ability to move the seats.
Clean periodically with a high-powered vacuum cleaner. Dirt and debris may re- duce the ability to adjust the seat. A wet cleansing agent may be used if necessary.
