Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo Van (2018 year). Manual — part 19

Vehicles operated in high temperatures or
under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level.

JUMP STARTING

If jump starting is necessary, refer to “Jump
starting” in the “In case of emergency” sec-
tion of this manual. If the engine does not
start by jump starting, the battery may
have to be replaced. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.

CAUTION

∙ Do not ground accessories directly to

the battery terminal. Doing so will by-
pass the variable voltage control sys-
tem and the vehicle battery may not
charge completely.

∙ Use electrical accessories with the en-

gine running to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.

Your vehicle is equipped with a variable
voltage control system. This system mea-
sures the amount of electrical discharge
from the battery and controls voltage gen-
erated by the generator.

The current sensor

䊊

A

is located near the

battery along the negative battery cable. If
you add electrical accessories to your ve-
hicle, be sure to ground them to a suitable
body ground such as the frame or engine
block area.

WARNING

Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
or LOCK position before servicing drive
belt.

The

engine

could

rotate

unexpectedly.

1. Visually inspect the belt for signs of un-

usual wear, cuts, or fraying. If the belt is
in poor condition, have it replaced or
adjusted. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

2. Have the belt checked regularly for

condition.

REPLACING SPARK PLUGS

Iridium-tipped spark plugs

It is not necessary to replace iridium-
tipped

䊊

A

spark plugs as frequently as con-

ventional type spark plugs because they
last much longer. Follow the maintenance
log shown in the “Maintenance and sched-
ules” section of this manual. Do not service
iridium-tipped spark plugs by cleaning or
regapping.

∙ Always replace spark plugs with rec-

ommended or equivalent ones.

WARNING

Be sure the engine and ignition switch
are off and that the parking brake is
engaged securely.

CAUTION

Be sure to use the correct socket to re-
move the spark plugs. An incorrect
socket can damage the spark plugs.

If replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

The air cleaner filter should not be cleaned
and reused. Replace it according to the
maintenance log shown in the “Mainte-
nance and schedules” section of this
manual.

To remove the air cleaner filter:

1. Push in the tabs

䊊

and move the air

cleaner cover upward.

2. Remove the air cleaner filter.

3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner filter

housing and the cover with a damp
cloth.

NOTE:

After installing a new air cleaner, make
sure the air cleaner cover is seated in the
housing and latch the clips.

WARNING

∙ Operating the engine with the air

cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops the
flame if the engine backfires. If it isn’t
there, and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Do not drive with the
air cleaner removed, and be careful
when working on the engine with the
air cleaner removed.

∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body

or attempt to start the engine with
the air cleaner removed. Doing so
could result in serious injury.

CLEANING

If your windshield is not clear after using
the windshield-washer or if a wiper blade
chatters when running, wax or other mate-
rial may be on the blade or windshield.

Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form
when rinsing with clear water.

Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild de-
tergent. Then rinse the blades with clear
water. If your windshield is still not clear
after cleaning the blades and using the
wiper, replace the blades.

CAUTION

Worn windshield wiper blades can
damage the windshield and impair
driver vision.

REPLACING

Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.

1. Lift the wiper arm away from the wind-

shield.

䊊

2

Push the release tab, then move the
wiper blade down the wiper arm to re-
move.

䊊

3

Remove the wiper blade.

4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the

wiper arm until it clicks into place.

5. Rotate wiper blade so the dimple is in

the groove.

6. Return the wiper to its original position

and release it until it has made contact
with the windshield.

CAUTION

∙ After wiper blade replacement, return

the wiper arm to its original position;
otherwise it may be damaged when
the hood is opened.

∙ Make sure the wiper blades contact

the glass; otherwise the arms may be
damaged from wind pressure.

If the brakes do not operate properly, have
the brakes checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.

Self-adjusting brakes

Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.

The front disc-type brakes self-adjust ev-
ery time the brake pedal is applied. The rear
drum-type brakes self-adjust every time
the parking brake is applied.

WARNING

Have your brake system checked if the
brakes pedal height does not return to
normal. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Brake pad wear indicators

The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires

replacement,

a

high

pitched

scraping or screeching sound will be heard
when the vehicle is in motion. The noise will
be heard whether or not the brake pedal is
depressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the wear indicator
sound is heard.

Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is nor-
mal and does not affect the function or
performance of the brake system.

Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed. For additional information re-
garding brake inspections, refer to the ap-
propriate maintenance schedule informa-
tion in the “Maintenance and schedules”
section of this manual.

Rotate the bulb counterclockwise and
pull out to remove. Replace as neces-

CAUTION

∙ Aiming is not necessary after replac-

ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment
is necessary, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

∙ Do not leave the headlight assembly

open without a bulb installed for a
long period of time. Dust, moisture,
smoke, etc. entering the headlight
body may affect bulb performance.
Remove the bulb from the headlight
assembly just before a replacement
bulb is installed.

∙ Only touch the base when handling

the bulb. Never touch the glass enve-
lope. Touching the glass could signifi-
cantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.

∙ High pressure halogen gas is sealed

inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break

if

the

glass

envelope

is

scratched or the bulb is dropped.

∙ Use the same number and wattage as

shown in the chart.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Aiming the headlights

The headlights on your vehicle are properly
aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle
has been in a collision, the alignment of
your headlights should be checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Vertical aim adjustment

NOTE:

Due to a maximum load condition of the
vehicle, headlight aiming adjustment
may be necessary. Please perform the
following procedure:

illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe

an area of high intensity light. The top
of the high intensity area should touch
the horizontal reference line. If not, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
