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.
