1) Tow Hook: The 350Z has a new removable tow hook. It's stored in the trunk adjacent to the jack tools. The hook screws into the front bumper, behind the license plate, which first must be removed. Use this tow hook for vehicle recovery (freeing a stuck vehicle). Please refer to your 350Z's Owner's Manual for complete towing instructions.
 
 
2) Automatic Transmission Service: You will find that you cannot loosen the transmission fluid level dipstick or locate the dipstick handle (there isn't one). That's because the new dipstick is bolted in place and should be serviced only at the dealership. Attempting to change or service the fluid on your own could potentially damage the transmission.
3) Automatic Transmission Fluid: Another reason to have your transmission serviced at the dealership is the special automatic transmission fluid that is required (Nissan Matic-J A/T fluid). Using other Nissan or commercially available fluids may cause damage to the transmission that will not be covered by the limited warranty.
4) Inside Door Reflector: The inside door panel of the 350Z features a red oval-shaped plastic lens reflector instead of a light. Unknowing 350Z owners may assume that the lens reflector is covering a light, and wonder why the light bulb isn't working.
5) Passenger Seat Belt Clips: When the passenger seat is unoccupied, you may hear a seat belt rattle. Use the seat belt clip located near the B-pillar to keep the seat belt in place, thus eliminating the noise.
6) Low Ground Clearance: First-time sport car owners may not be aware the sports cars have low ground clearance. Therefore, special care should be taken when driving over speed bumps, dips in the road, or driveways.
7) Fuel Requirement: Premium unleaded fuel is required for optimum power performance.
For more information on all these features, see the 350Z Owner's Manual.
