GENERAL MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000006419558

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 owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do 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.

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.)

Item

Reference page

Tires

Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.

WT-9

Windshield wiper
blades

Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly.

—

Doors and engine
hood

Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
door. 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 for lu-
brication frequently.

MA-58

Tire rotation

Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for 2WD models and every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models.

WT-6

Wheel alignment and
balance

If the vehicle should pull 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
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed.

Periodic Maintenance

INFOID:0000000006419559

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 (MR16DDT PETROL ENGINE)

Abbreviations: R = Replace, I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, [ ] = 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.

• (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 100,000 km (60,000 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.

• (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. And if CONSULT-III is not avail-
able, change (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 war-
ranty.

• (2) Inspect once per year.

If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that is
suitable for the outside temperature range.

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000006419562

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round and extended life engine coolant. The high quality engine
coolant contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Gen-

uine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with
the proper mixture ratio (50%). See the examples shown in the
figure.

The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
• When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant hydrometer, use the chart below to correct
