GENERAL MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
General MaintenanceBLS0005E
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, includ-
ing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis.
Check the windshield at least every six months for cracks or other damage.
Repair as necessary.—
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate prop-
erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for
lubrication frequently.BL-13
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles).MA-40
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim.—
Item Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
Windshield wiper and
washerCheck that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.—
Windshield defrosterCheck that air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient quan-
tity when operating the heater or air conditioner.—
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)—
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-44
Accelerator pedalCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.—

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

Changing CVT FluidBLS0009I
1. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.

: Vehicle front

Radiator (2)

CVT fluid cooler hose [inlet side (3)]

Transaxle assembly (4)
2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and
refill with new CVT fluid at CVT fluid charging pipe with the
engine running at idle speed.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose
[outlet side (1)].
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
CAUTION:

Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Do not mix with other fluid.

Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and
CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.

Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-II after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-46,
"Check CVT Fluid Deterioration Date" .
4. Check fluid leakage, fluid level and condition.
Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)BLS0005W
REMOVAL
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbal-
ance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.CVT fluid:

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the road wheel.
Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance
weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)
a. Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure at right.
b. When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the
figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the wheel
balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:

Always use genuine Nissan adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other (as shown in
the figure).
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
unbalance values are 10 g (0.35 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 10 g (0.35 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):
SMA054D
SEIA0166E
Maximum allowable
unbalanceDynamic (At rim flange) Less than 10 g (0.35 oz) (one side)
Static (At rim flange) Less than 20 g (0.70 oz)

Tire RotationBLS0005X
Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksBLS0005Y

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesBLS0005Z

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidBLS00060
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Refill with recommended Genuine Brake Fluid or equivalent
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesBLS00063
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Recommended fluid is DEXRONTM III type ATF or equiva-
lent.
Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .


Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.

Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
