• The quick connector can be
disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist the quick connec-
tor more than necessary.
• Do not use any tools to di sconnect the quick connector.
• Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.
• Prevent any acid liquids such as battery electrolyte, from getting on the resin tube.
• Do not bend or twist the resin tube during connection.
• Do not remove the remaining retainer on the hard tube (or
the equivalent) except when the resin tube or the retainer
is replaced.
• When the resin tube or hard tube, or the equivalent, is
replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one (white
colored retainer).
• To keep the quick connector clean and to avoid damage
and contamination from foreign materials, cover the quick
connector with plastic bags or suitable material as shown.
11. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
12. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem- bly. Remove and discard the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly O-ring.
CAUTION:
• Do not bend the float arm during removal.
• Avoid impacts such as droppi ng when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For installation, use a new fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly O-ring.
• Connect the quick connector as follows:
- Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
- Align the connector with the pipe, t hen insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.

- After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the connec-
tion is secure by checking as follows:
- Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
- Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engi ne, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check t hat there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe
and hose connections.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003776980
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or ti me intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance for Off-road Driving (4WD only)INFOID:0000000003776981
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters

Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.
• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use.
• Driving in dusty conditions.

damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and inte rvals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
(1) If towing a trailer, or using a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 30,000 miles
(48,000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genui ne NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause
deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not
covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
(2) Refer to “Tire rotation” unde r the “General maintenance” heading earlier in this section.
