vided to give you a better understand-
ing of the scheduled maintenance
items that should be regularly

nance log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item re-

In addition to scheduled mainte-
nance, your Nissan requires that
some items be checked during nor-
mal day-to-day operation. You can
find these items listed under “General

quired to perform maintenance on
these items in order to maintain the
warranties which come with your
Nissan. Other maintenance items and
intervals are required.
When applicable, additional informa-
tion can be found in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section in Chapter
8 of your Owner’s Manual.
