Nissan Juke 2024 Owners Manual
10.3. Maintenance precautions
When performing any inspection or maintenance work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle. The following are general precautions which should be closely observed.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake securely and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Do not work under the engine bonnet while the engine is hot. Turn off the engine and wait until it cools down.
Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCK position.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position, the cooling fan may start to operate suddenly even when the engine is not running. To avoid injury, always disconnect the negative battery cable before working near the engine.
If you must work with the engine running, keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away from moving fans, belts and any other moving parts.
It is advisable to remove ties and any jewellery, such as rings, watches, etc. before working on your vehicle.
If you must run the engine in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation for exhaust gases.
DO NOT GET UNDER A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPORTED BY A JACK.
Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks away from fuel and battery.
Never connect or disconnect either the battery or any transistorised component connector while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Never leave the engine or transmission related component harness connector disconnected while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
On petrol engine models with the multiport fuel injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter or fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop because the fuel lines are under high pressure even when the engine is off.
Always wear eye protection whenever you work on your vehicle.
Failure to follow these or other common sense guidelines may lead to serious injury or vehicle damage.
Improperly disposed engine oil and/or other vehicle fluids can pollute the environment. Always conform to local regulations for disposal of vehicle fluid.
This section gives instructions regarding only those items which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper servicing may result in operating difficulties or excessive emissions, and could affect your warranty coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
