Maintenance
The maintenance menu allows the user to set reminders for various vehicle maintenance items.
Some menu items shown below may not be equipped on your vehicle.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional informa-
tion, see “Changing wheels and tires” (P. 8-38). Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions
affect tire wear and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not
mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduledmaintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres- sure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im- proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
•
Use the recommended viscosity engine
oil. For additional information, see “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” (P. 8-10).
If any malfunction occurs in the I-4X4 sys-
tem while the engine is running, messages
are displayed in the meter.
If the “AWD error” warning appears, there
may be a malfunction in the I-4X4 system.
Reduce vehicle speed and have your ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. The “AWD High Temp. Stop Vehicle” (high
temperature) warning appears when the
oil temperature of the powertrain parts will
increase due to the difference in rotation
between the front and rear wheels is large
(wheel slip), such as when driving the ve-
hicle on rough roads, through sand or mud,
or freeing a stuck vehicle. If this warning is
displayed, stop the vehicle with the engine
idling, as soon as it is safe to do so. In these
cases, the 4WD changes to 2WD to protect
