Car radio
Please do always detach the control element of the radio when leaving the car. At the upper right side there is a button which has to be pressed to loose this control element. Please insert the radio into the proper box and store it either in the compartment for glasses or in the glove department. Here you can also find the manual for the radio as well as for the vehicle. The handling of the car radio with integrated CD player is quite easy and works just like any other radios. Please refer to the manual for in-depth information.
Windscreen wiper fluidity
The storage tank for the windscreen wiper fluidity is located under the bonnet and can be easily spotted by the blue sealing lid. Clean tab water with a bit of dishwashing detergent can be used as fluidity.
Equipment
Jumper Cable
The jumper cable for a possible emergency start is located behind the settee inside the driver’s cabin. In order to bridge the battery of a second vehicle it is essential that the two positive and negative poles of the vehicles are connected. The motor of the helping vehicle should be running with an increased revolution speed for several minutes just before the first start attempt.
Tow rope
The tow rope is stored behind the settee of the drivers’ cabin. In case the vehicle needs to be towed away, the bolt of the rope should be hooked into the towing apparatus in front at the right side below the bonnet. Careful: the brake amplifier is not working when the motor is running.
Maintenance
Tyre change
The tools for a tyre change are located behind the stowable settees in the dricers’ cab. The spare wheel can be found at the back of the car and is fastened with a padlock and a screw. A second spare wheel can be rented as well, this can be attached under the vehicle and should be fetched by a crank handle, which is located behind the driver’s seat. It is important that during the change of the tyres the handbrake is fastened and a gear is choosen.
Oil level
In order to check the oil level do open the bonnet. The bonnet can be opened with a round hook below the instrumental panel at the driver’s side. Underneath the bonnet in the middle there is a lever which has to be detached in order for the bonnet to be opened. It has to be supported by a rest, which is located beneath the radiator. The rest has to be inserted into the purpose made hole of the bonnet. Next to the motor block there is a yellow ring, do push this ring up to loosen the oil dip stick. The car should be parked for several minutes, otherwise the measurement of the oil level is not that precise. Pull the yellow ring out and wipe the oil off. Insert the dip stick as far as it will go and take it out again, now you can read off the oil level. One part of the dip stick is rippled, the oil level should in this array, if not fill some more oil in. To do so unscrew the lid with the image of an oil can on the motor. After refilling it, please check the oil level gain. In case you have filled in too much oil, when the oil is above the rippled art, please do go to a repair shop so the excessive oil can be drained. Trekker Ltda. maintains the vehicles every 5000 kilometres, the exchange of oil and oil filter are enforced. This service is possible in every authorised Nissan repair shop, costs arising from this will be refunded by Trekker Ltda.
Tyre pressure
The tyre pressure can be checked with a so called “jump start with air compressor”. Behind its cover is a small hose with a valve-adapter. This one has to be fixed to the valve of the tyre, on the dial gauge one can read the tyre pressure (measured in Libras). At the push of a button (black button) one can fill in more pressure. The tyre pressure can also be checked with a small gauge. The ideal tyre pressure for the tyres in front is 32l and for the ones in the back 65l.
