GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance INFOID:0000000001316146

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including
the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for —
damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Windshield wiper
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
blades
Doors and engine Check that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate prop-
hood erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
MA-74
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lu-
brication frequently.
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for 2WD models and every
MA-70
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models.

INSIDE THE VEHICLE


The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
Item Reference page
Lamps Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and oth-
er lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp —
aim.
Warning lamps and
Make sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
chimes
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard

steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the MA-74
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE


The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel.
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —

MA-25 (MR)
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-34 (QR)
MA-44 (M9R)
LU-6 (MR)
Check the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the en-
Engine oil level LU-16 (QR)

LU-28 (M9R)
Brake and clutch fluid Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN” MA-71,
levels lines on the reservoir. MA-68
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. —

Periodic Maintenance INFOID:0000000001316147

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con- B
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:
• (1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration
with Consult-III every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. And if Consult-III is not available,
change (do not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NIS-
SAN CVT fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000001316150

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,


year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine
coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genu-
ine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality. Genu-
ine NISSAN Engine Coolant is premixed (mixture ratio 50%)
type coolant.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
SMA089D
cooling system.
• When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant hydrometer, use the chart below to correct
your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.

CVT FLUID : Inspection INFOID:0000000001521380

CHECKING CVT FLUID F


Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check pro-
cedure is as follows:
1. Check for fluid leakage. G
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10
minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F). H
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
4. Apply parking brake firmly.

level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,
then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
