InspectionINFOID:0000000003793253
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leakage.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), then check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and let it idle and check there are no fuel leakage at the fuel system connections.

PRECAUTIONS
 If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-
tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
 Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
 After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of
the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Engine OilsINFOID:0000000003852785
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
 Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
 Do not put oily rags in pockets.
 Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
 Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-
larly.
 First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
 Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
 Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepara-
tions containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
 Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
 If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
 Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.
 Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
Air ConditioningINFOID:0000000003852786
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
HA section “REFRIGERATION SYSTEM” for specific instructions.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858222
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,[ ] = At the specified mileage only.
NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-
tions”.
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Checking
the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL
