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.
