EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
The following descriptions are provided
to give you a better understanding of
the scheduled maintenance items that
should be regularly checked or
replaced. The maintenance log
indicates at which mileage/time
intervals each item requires service.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Nissan requires that some items
be checked during normal day-to-day
operation. You can find these items
listed under “General Maintenance” in
Chapter 8 of your Owner’s Manual.
Items marked with “*”are recommended
by Nissan for reliable vehicle operation.
You are not required 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 information
can be found in the
“Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section in Chapter 8 of
your Owner’s Manual.
For recommended fuel, lubricants,
fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to
Chapter 9 in your Owner’s Manual.

Maintenance:
Drive Belts*

fraying or cracking and for proper
tension. Replace any damaged drive

conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.
Engine Coolant*

In-Cabin Microfilter
The In-Cabin Microfilter filters the air you breathe in
your vehicle. This system filters both outside and re-
circulated air used by the air conditioning system in
your vehicle. Replacing the Microfilter every year or
15,000 miles is the best way to help prevent road
dust, pollen and other air pollutants from entering the
interior of your vehicle and the air you breathe. If
your vehicle is not equipped with an In-Cabin
Microfilter system – see your Nissan dealer about
getting one installed – you’ll breathe easier.
