Automatic Transmission fluid temperature
gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the au-
tomatic transmission fluid.
CAUTION
●
This gauge is not designed to indicate

When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precau-
tions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
●Park the vehicle on a level surface, ap-
ply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving. Move the shift lever to P
(Park)
● Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
or LOCK position when performing any
parts replacement or repairs.
● If you must work with the engine run-
ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair
and tools away from moving fans, belts
and any other moving parts.
● It is advisable to secure or remove any
loose clothing and remove any jewelry,
such as rings, watches, etc. before
working on your vehicle.
● Always wear eye protection whenever
you work on your vehicle. ●
The automatic engine cooling fan (if so
equipped) may come on at any time
without warning, even if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position and the
engine is not running. To avoid injury,
always disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
● If you must run the engine in an en-
closed space such as a garage, be sure
there is proper ventilation for exhaust
gases to escape.
● Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support
it with safety stands.
● Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from the fuel tank and
battery.
● Because the fuel lines on gasoline en-
gine models are under high pressure
even when the engine is off, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for service of the fuel filter or fuel lines.
CAUTION
● Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down. ●
Avoid contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine
oil, engine coolant and/or other vehicle
fluids can damage the environment. Al-
ways conform to local regulations for
disposal of vehicle fluid.
● Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
● Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
This “Do-it-yourself” section gives instructions
regarding only those items which are relatively
easy for an owner to perform.
A Genuine NISSAN service manual is also avail-
able. For additional information, refer to “Owner’s
Manual/Service Manual order information” in the
“Technical and consumer information” section of
this manual.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties or
excessive emissions, and could affect warranty
coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, it
is recommended that you have it done by a
NISSAN dealer.

ity refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants and
capacities” in the “Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.

nections or replace parts as necessary.
CHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCE:
Brake Lines and Cables
Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for
chafing, cracks, deterioration, and signs of leak-
ing. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts
immediately.
Brake Pads, Rotors, Drums, & Linings
Check for wear, deterioration and fluid leaks.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts im-
mediately.Exhaust System
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hang-
ers for leaks, cracks, deterioration, and damage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
In-Cabin Microfilter
Replace at specified intervals. When driving for
prolonged periods in dusty conditions, replace
the filter more frequently.
Propeller Shaft(s)
Check for damage, looseness, and grease leak-
age. (4WD/AWD/RWD) .
Steering Gear and Linkage, Axle and Sus-
pension Parts, Drive Shaft Boots
Check for damage, looseness, and leakage of oil
or grease. Under severe driving conditions, in-
spect more frequently.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) according to the instructions under
“General maintenance” in this section. When ro-
tating tires, check for damage and uneven wear.
Replace if necessary.
Transmission Fluid/Oil, Differential Oil,
Transfer Case Oil
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at specified
intervals.Replace automatic transmission fluid at specified
intervals. (For diesel engine models)
If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top
carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads:
● Replace the differential oil every
20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
● Replace the automatic transmission fluid
ever 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or
24 months. (For gasoline engine models)
Off-Road Maintenance
Check the following items frequently whenever you
drive off-road through deep sand, mud or water:
● Brake pads and rotors

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions”.
1. Inspection is not necessary under normal driving condition. If using under the severe condition such as towing a trailer, using a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. NISSAN recommends using Genuine NISSAN
Matic S automatic transmission fluid. Using automatic transmission fluid that is not equivalent to Genuine NISSAN Matic S may damage the
transmission or impact transmission durability. Damage caused by the use of fluid other than as recommended is not covered under the NISSAN New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
2. If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.
