GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858221
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.
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
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate properly. Also make sure 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 lu-
brication frequently.MA-42
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles).WT-3
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road,
or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear. there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed.
Item Reference page
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and oth-
er lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp
aim.—
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly. —
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering condition, 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-42
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-13
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the en-
gine.LU-7
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir.MA-37
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. —

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace.
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-III every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to TM-204, "
CONSULT-III
Function (TRANSMISSION)" for RE0F10A, TM-37, "CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)" for RE0F09B.) And if Consult-III
is not available, change (do 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 Condi-
tions”.
MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A — Driving in dusty conditions
B — Driving repeatedly short distances or door to door driving

If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-110, "Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
2. Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air duct assembly and air cleaner cases (upper and lower) assembly. Refer to EM-26, "

4. Disconnect heater hose (1) at the position ( ) in the figure.
5. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank if removed, to specified level.
CAUTION:
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments.
(alternator etc.)
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater
hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine
coolant.
Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its
quality mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer
to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
6. Install air duct assembly and air cleaner cases (upper and lower) assembly. Refer to EM-26, "

7. Install radiator cap.
8. Warm up engine until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at
3,000 rpm.
 Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.

RADIATOR CAP : InspectionINFOID:0000000003862453
 Check valve seat (A) of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger (B) cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the
top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
- Check that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radiator
cap negative-pressure valve.
- Check that there are no unusualness in the opening and closing
conditions of negative-pressure valve.
 Check radiator cap relief pressure.
- When connecting radiator cap to the radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter (commercial
service tool) (A), apply engine coolant to the cap seal surface.
 Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness related to the above three.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator pipe (upper) filler neck to remove any
waxy residue or foreign material.
RADIATOR
RADIATOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000003862454
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows:
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
 When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as radiator cooling fan
assembly and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
 Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm
2, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.81 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per minute until no water sprays out.

level is within the specified range.
CAUTION:
When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the
CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installa-
tion position until securely locked.
CVT FLUID CONDITION
Check CVT fluid condition.
 If CVT fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of CVT.
Flush cooling system after repair of CVT.
 If CVT fluid contains frictional material (clutches, brakes, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and

CAUTION:
Replace O-ring with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.
1. Remove drain plug from oil pan.
2. Remove drain plug gasket from drain plug.
3. Install drain plug gasket to drain plug.
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Install drain plug to oil pan. Refer to TM-321, "

5. Fill CVT fluid from CVT fluid charging pipe to the specified level.
CAUTION:
 Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Never 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.
 Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.
 Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid.
