ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
Always use the support point specified for lifting.
Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-37, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .
REMOVAL
Outline
At first, remove engine and transaxle assembly with front suspension member from vehicle downward. Sepa-
rate front suspension member, and then separate engine from transaxle.
Preparation
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-392, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-34, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when engine is cold.
Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3. Remove the following parts:
Engine cover; Refer to EM-133, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
Hood assembly; Refer to BL-13, "HOOD" .
Front road wheels and tires.
Undercover and splash guards (RH and LH).
Air duct (inlet), air cleaner case (upper) with mass air flow sensor and air duct assembly; Refer to EM-
131, "AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
Battery, battery tray and battery tray bracket; Refer to SC-4, "BATTERY" .
Drive belts; Refer to EM-128, "DRIVE BELTS" .
Radiator, reservoir of radiator; Refer to CO-37, "RADIATOR" .
Front wiper arm; Refer to WW-4, "FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM" .
Cowl top cover. Refer to EI-21, "COWL TOP" .
4. Disconnect engine room harness at the ECM side.
CAUTION:
To keep clean harness connector and avoid damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
Engine Room
1. Disconnect heater hoses. Refer to CO-52, "WATER OUTLET AND WATER PIPING" .
Install plug to avoid leakage of engine coolant.
2. Remove EVAP hose. Refer to EM-133, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
3. Disconnect fuel feed hose (with fuel damper) quick connector at centralized under-floor piping side. Refer
to EM-155, "
FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE" .
Install plug to avoid leakage of fuel.
4. Disconnect shift control cable at transaxle side. Refer to AT- 2 1 3 , "
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM" .
5. Disconnect brake booster vacuum hose at engine side. Refer to EM-133, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLEC-
TOR" .
6. Remove IPDM E/R mounting bolt and IPDM E/R bracket mounting bolts, and move it to aside. Refer to
PG-17, "
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)" .
7. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-27, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
8. Remove A/C compressor with piping connected, and temporarily secure it to aside. Refer to ATC-133,
"Components" .
9. Disconnect suction hoses of power steering oil pump at reservoir tank side.
Install plug to avoid leakage of power steering fluid.

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel.
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-25
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-30
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir.MA-40
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—

NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with
CONSULT-II every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT-46, "
Check CVT Fluid Dete-
rioration Date" .) And if CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles).
Using transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the
warranty.
(2) Inspect once per year.
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL
