Nissan Establishes Zero Emission Fund
Zero-emission miles/kilometers driven by Nissan LEAF owners to be converted to CO2 offset credits
Credits to be sold, profits to be invested in quick charger infrastructure development and forest conservation activities
YOKOHAMA, Japan (June 11, 2012) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of the Nissan Zero Emission Fund, a new fund for individual Nissan electric vehicle (EV) owners in Japan which converts the amount of CO2 emissions that are offset by driving the 100% electric Nissan LEAF to generate credits.
Through participation in this fund program, Nissan LEAF owners will be able to generate CO2 emissions credits certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and sold to the Green Investment Promotion Organization, an organization that promotes investment in low carbon emissions. The system calculates and certifies the amount of CO2 emissions that are avoided by driving zero-emissions vehicles. Profits earned by the sale of the credits will be invested by the fund to support the installation of quick charging facilities and forest conservation activities to accelerate the realization of a zero-emission society.
Nissan will engage in forest conservation efforts together with "more trees," a generally incorporated foundation in Japan. Nissan and more trees will use part of the profits generated by the fund to facilitate conservation of thinning forests in Japan that need reforestation, to be designated "LEAF Forests."
The Nissan LEAF, launched in Japan in December 2010, emits no CO2 gas when operated—unlike conventional gasoline powered vehicles. The Nissan Zero Emission Fund is a platform where the distance that every participating Nissan LEAF owner drives is converted to a credit that recognizes the CO2 emissions that are offset based on the average CO2 emitted by a gasoline powered vehicle. The total annual CO2 emissions that are avoided by driving the LEAF will be converted into credits and sold to the Green Innovation Promotion Organization. As the amount of offset CO2 emissions is calculated according to the distance traveled, the more that Nissan LEAF owners participate, the more CO2 emissions are reduced, and this ultimately will contribute toward the installation of quick chargers as well as environmental conservation through the Nissan Zero Emission Fund.
The Nissan LEAF's total annual distance traveled is automatically collected by the NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center through its continuous on-board communication unit. This communication technology provides more accurate driving data and delivers greater convenience to Nissan LEAF owners in order to optimize their EV driving experience.
Nissan Zero Emission Fund Overview
Target users:
Nissan LEAF owners who subscribe to the CARWINGS for EV, Nissan's car navigation ICT system
Use of certified credits:
1) To help expand the quick-charging infrastructure and facilitate faster adoption of zero-emission vehicles
2) To assist with reforestation/environmental conservation activities and other activities
Co-implementer (the organization to which credits are sold):
Green Investment Promotion Organization
Use of profits
The CO2 emissions credits sold through the Nissan Zero Emission Fund will be used for the management of the Fund and the following purposes:
1. Installation of quick charging units
Quick charging facilities will be installed in appropriate locations in Japan on a needs-basis to help realize a zero-emission society, expand the adoption of electric vehicles, and offer greater convenience for EV owners.
2. Forest conservation
Forests in Japan that need to be conserved will be restored as "LEAF Forests."
In fiscal 2012, forest conservation activities will be conducted in the following areas which have reservoirs supplying water to residents of Tokyo and Yokohama City, Kanagawa prefecture:
Tabayama-mura, Kosuge-mura and Doushi-mura in Yamanashi prefecture
Forest conservation areas will be gradually expanded in line with the level of profits earned by the fund.

Check the Coolant and Radiator
Cars are designed to run hot, but there's a limit to how hot they should run. A combustion engine is most efficient at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius). But if an engine is allowed to get too hot, moving metal parts can actually start to melt and fuse together, causing a variety of internal problems for your engine -- and, you guessed it, a hefty repair bill.
Luckily, all modern cars have an ingenious cooling system that uses a chemical coolant, called antifreeze, and a series of pumps, hoses, thermostats and fans to keep the car at its optimal running temperature. But any problems with this system -- low coolant levels, cracked hoses, loose or broken belts, a leak in the radiator or even a loose or missing radiator cap can cause your car to overheat and break down.
The summertime is tough on cooling systems. Sitting in traffic on a hot day is one of the quickest ways to overheat your car. This is because there's no air flowing across the engine to help keep it cool. A well-tuned cooling system can take long idles in hot weather, but if you have low coolant levels or a busted fan belt, your engine temperature is going to go up -- and fast.
Check under the hood and make sure that your coolant levels are fine. The general rule is to flush your radiator and add new coolant at least every two years. Flushing the radiator is done with a special chemical that cleans debris and build-up on the inside of the radiator. For summer driving, coolant should be added as a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. You can even buy premixed coolant so you don't have to bother with the measurements.
If you see a small puddle of coolant under your car when it's been parked for a while, then you have a coolant leak. Take it to the service station as soon as you can to get your system checked out.

Change Oil and Oil Filter
Oil is the lifeblood of your car. It keeps hardworking engine parts running clean, smooth and cool. Most owner's manuals suggest that you change your oil and oil filter every 7,500 miles (12,070 kilometers). Oil change specialists suggest every 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) or three months. The fact is, most of us do a lot of heavy driving during the summer when an engine is more likely to overheat. So at least check your oil before you head out on that road trip with the family.
To check your oil, let your car run for a few minutes, then park it on a level surface and shut off the engine. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You're looking for two things here: the level of oil and how the oil looks [source: CBS News]. If you're low on oil, you can either add another quart or simply change the oil completely. The oil should look brownish yellow and clean on the stick. If the oil is a dark color or there's a lot of dirt and grime in it, then you definitely need an oil change and oil filter replacement.

Clean the inside, too
Vacuum and sponge your interior every time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive, and spilled liquids, such as soda, can be corrosive.Vacuum your interior thoroughly with a powerful vacuum (small cordless models are generally too weak). Use the appropriate wand heads when vacuuming. The bare metal wand can mar and scratch surfaces. Sponge vinyl surfaces clean with a solution of mild detergent and water.
