SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates running
speed in kilometers per hour.
The odometer records the total kilo-
meters your vehicle has been driven and
is useful for keeping a record of mainte-
nance intervals.
FUEL GAUGE
With the ignition switch "ON", the
fuel gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel in the tank.
The position of the needle will vary
slightly when accelerating, braking, or
when the vehicle is going up or down
hill.
Check the fuel gauge to ascertain
that you have fuel in the tank with your
vehicle set level.

The transmission is synchronized in

 Starting and Operating

In case of normal acceleration, it is
most economical to change gears at the
lower speeds in the speed range pre-
scribed, considering fuel consumption.
However, when quick acceleration is
required, it is proper to change at the
higher speeds, so that you can get full
power of the engine.
Do not overrun the maximum speed in
each gear before you shift to higher gear.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
except when you are ready to shift gears. A
clutch can become prematurely worn or
completely ruined by riding it.
Slipping the clutch by releasing the pedal
just enough to hold the vehicle on a hill will
eventually cause clutch wear and damage.

 Starting and Operating
Driving uphill
When starting on a steep grade it is
sometimes difficult to operate the brake
and clutch . The operation of the park-
ing brake, clutch pedal and accelerator
pedal is very important.
The engine brake is the most effec-
tive for descending hills. The gearshift
lever should be placed in the lower
speed position prior to descending .
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle or when
driving under extremely wet conditions,
the brake linings sometimes get wet.
Gently apply the brakes several times as
the vehicle is moving slowly to dry the
linings . Do not drive the vehicle at high
speeds until the brakes are functioning
correctly.
20
IN CO LD WEATHER
Starting off on slippery roads
When rain or snow makes the roads
slippery , use caution in throttling and
engaging the clutch. If the clutch is
engaged too abruptly and with too
much throttle, the wheels will spin and
the vehicle may not move forward . To
stop the spin, back up a little. Repeated-
ly rolling backward and forward will get
you away from the slippery patch .
Driving on slippery roads
When driving on wet or slippery
roads, never brake hard . Instead, shift to
a lower gear and use the braking effect
of the engine.
When driving on icy roads, always
proceed slowly and cautiously, turn the
steering wheel gently, and use the
brakes only very lightly . Moreover, al-
ways change gears smooth ly, and never
drive with the clutch pedal depressed.
If you should go into a skid , do not
apply the brakes. Release the accelera-
tor and turn into the direction of the
skid. As the vehicle recovers its balance,
straighten out the wheels and accelerate
lightly.
Special winter equipment
It is recommended that the following
items be carried in the vehicle during
winter:
I. A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to
remove ice and snow from the win-
dows.
2. A sturdy , flat board to be placed
under the jack to give it firm sup-
port.
3. A shovel to dig the vehicle out of
snowdrifts.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
To tow the vehicle , connect a towing
rope to the towing hook . Before towing,
make sure the parking brake is released ,
and the transmission and the transfer is
in neutraL
If the rear axle , transmission o r
transfer is damaged , do not tow the
vehicle with the four wheels on the
ground . In this case please contact an
authorized NISSAN/DATSUN dealer.
To tow another vehicle, connect a
towing ro pe to the front o r rear towing
.. hook.
To prevent damage, do not attempt
to rapidly apply a big load to a rope.
Caution: When the vehicle is towed with the
rear wheels raised, the steering wheel
should be secured to maintain a straight
ahead position.
PUSH STARTING
If you cannot start your engine in
the normal manner, it can be started by
pushing.
As the push begins, turn the ignition
to "ON", place the shift lever in second
or third gear, and keep your foot all the
way down on the clutch pedaL Hold the
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
When the car reaches a speed of about
16 km/h, slowly release the clutch pedal
to start the engine.
CAUTION:
NEVER TRY TO START THE CAR BY
TOWING IT; WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS,
THE FORWARD SURGE COULD CAUSE
THE CAR TO COLLIDE WITH THE TOW
VEHICLE.
In Case of Emergency
JUMP STARTING WITH
BOOSTER BAITER Y
Because explosive hydrogen gas is
always present in the vicinity of the
battery, keep all sparks and flames away
from it.
Do not, under any circumstances,
allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, cloth or painted sur-
faces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sul-
phuric acid solution which can cause
severe bums. If the fluid should come
into contact with anything, immediately
flush any contacted area with water.
27
 In Case of Emergency
If done incorrectly jump starting can
be hazardous.
Always follow the below instruc-
tions.
I. Position the two vehicles in such a
manner that their engine compart-
ments are in close proximity to each
other. Set parking brakes. Set the
gearshift lever in "neutral". Switch
off all unnecessary electrical loads
(lights, heater, etc .).
Caution:
Ensure that the battery of the other
vehicle is a 12-volt, negatively grounded one.
28
2. Run one jumper cable from the
positive terminal of the booster bat-
tery to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery. Run the other
cable from the negative terminal of
the booster battery to the negative
terminal of the discharged battery.
Caution :
Never confuse these jumper cable connec-
tions. If connections deviate from that de-
scribed in the foregoing, damage to both
charging systems or even serious personal
injury could result.
3. Run the other vehicle's engine at a
steady 2,000 rpm or so, and then
start your engine in the usual
manner.
4 . Once you have your engine running,
carefully disconnect the jumper
cables, exactly reversing the connec-
tion procedure .

 Emission Control Systems (For New South Wales)
FOREWORD
The control of automotive air poUution largely depends
upon the development of effective emission control systems.
To meet this demand, NISSAN has been making consistent
and continuous efforts towards the further development of
such devices.
Your Patrol is equipped with emission control devices
which are designed and built to provide emission perform-
ance levels required by the Clean Air Act of New South
Wales.
In New South Wales owners may be subject to penalties
for any modifications made to the emission control systems
after delivery.
52
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION
Please make your contribution to clean air in out
environment by operating the vehicle within the prescribed
passenger and load limits and by maintaining the emission
control system in accordance with our recommendations.
For owners in New South Wales, a special maintenance
schedule is specified.
To maintain the original quality built into the emission
control system we recommend that the system be maintained
by your NISSAN/DATSUN Dealer who uses only Genuine
NISSAN Replacement Parts.
The use of other parts which may be inferior !O Genuine
NISSAN Parts could lead to a reduction in the effect of the
system.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 1. CRANKCASE EMISSION
The emission control system reduces CONTROL SYSTEM

These pollutants are primarily hydro- by gases back to the combustion cham- being emitted into the atmosphere.
carbons, nitrogen oxides and carbon ber through the air cleaner for reburn-
monoxide .
Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides
when exposed to sunlight under certain
conditions produce photochemical FLAME ARRESTER
smog.
Carbon monoxide is toxic when high-
ly concentrated in the air.
The emission control system consists
of (I) crankcase emission control sys-
tem, (2) exhaust emission control sys-
tem, and (3) evaporative emission con-
trol system.
The crankcase emission control sys-
tem recirculates blow-by gases to the CARBURETOR
combustion chamber and prevents the
0
emission of such unburnt gases into the
air.
The exhaust emission control system
insures that fuel is burned completely
and properly. The evaporative emission
control system prevents evaporative
gases from escaping into the air. These .. BLOW-BY GAS
systems are outlined below.

(1) Air Injection System (A.I.S.)

INJECTION
The air injection pump receives clean NOZZLE
air through a hose connected to the
carburetor air cleaner.
This rotary vane type pump is de-
signed to draw air in and compress it to
• produce maximum air flow with quiet
operation. A fresh air Line from the air
injection pump is routed to a check

(3) Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R.)

System
The purpose of the E.G. R. system is
to direct burnt gases into the intake
manifold so that they re-enter the en-
gine combustion chambers.

'
This system controls the engine com-
bustion temperature, thus reducing NOx
emission. CARBURETOR
Proper operation of this system de-
pends upon an E. G. R. control valve and
a thermal vacuum valve.
When the engine is warmed up, the THERMAL VACUUM VALVE
carburetor vacuum actuates the E. G. R.
control valve through the thermal vacu-
um valve.
The exhaust gas is then drawn from FROM EXHAUST MANIFOLD
the exhaust manifold into the intake SY066
manifold through the E.G.R. control
valve .
However, during high speed driving,
the E.G. R. control valve shuts out the
exhaust recirculation gases and main-
tains sufficient enigne power to drive at
high speeds with minimum fuel con-
sumption.
