22. If necessary, remove the lock ring using Tool.
23. If necessary, remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuelpump assembly. 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 dropping 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, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection 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 engine, then check the fuel pipe and hose connections forleaks while applying fuel pressure.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)

PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS001BJ
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 time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance For Off-road Driving (4WD only)ELS001BK
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 1ELS001BL
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1
Follow 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
remaining 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.
Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier. Emission Control Sys-

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace drive belts if da maged.
(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) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “ *” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.

*1: For further details, refer to MA-12, "SAE Viscosity Number" .
*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warr anty.
*3: For Canada, NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), DEXRON
TM III or MERCONTM or equivalent ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your NISSAN dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label ”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0 ° C (32° F).

The fuel filter is part of the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly. Refer to FL-6, "FUEL
LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" .
WARNING:
Before replacing the fuel filter, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to EC-80, "
FUEL
PRESSURE RELEASE" .
Changing Engine Air Cleaner FilterELS001PK
