GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General Maintenance
INFOID:0000000003938592
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 owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have their NISSAN dealers perform them.
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.
Item
Reference page
Tires
Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to a long distance trips.
Adjust the pressurein all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
—
Wheel lug nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.
Tire rotation
Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).
Tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS)
transmitter compo-
nents
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and
balance
If the vehicle pulls 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 align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed.
Windshield wiper
blades
Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
—
Doors and engine
hood
Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
hatch. 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 lubri-
cation frequently.
Lamps
Make sure that the head lamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head
lamp aim. Clean the head lamps on a regular basis.
Item
Reference page
Warning lamps and
buzzers/chimes
Make sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly.
Windshield wiper and
washer
Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.
—
Windshield defroster
Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.
—
Steering wheel
Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering
condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Seats
Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches
lock securely for folding-down rear seat backs.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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).
Seat belts
Check 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.
PLUG : Checking Seat
Belts, Buckles, Retrac-
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
—
Brakes
Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied.
—
Brake pedal and
booster
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Keep the floor
mats away from the pedal.
Parking brake
Check that the parking brake control has the proper travel and make sure that
the vehicle is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is
applied.
Automatic transmis-
sion “Park” mecha-
nism
On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever
in the P position without applying the brakes.

Windshield washer
fluid
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant level
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
(VQ40DE)
Radiator and hoses
Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections.
—
Brake fluid level
Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoirs
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.
—
Engine drive belt
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
(VQ40DE)
Engine oil level
Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
ing off the engine.
(VQ40DE)
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid level
Check the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in "P" with the en-
gine idling.
Power steering fluid
level and lines
Check the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the
exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.
—
Fluid leaks
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.

Introduction of Periodic Maintenance
INFOID:0000000003938593
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance for off-road driving (4X4 only)
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters
Schedule 1
INFOID:0000000003938594

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged, or if the auto tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
