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).
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. Be sure to
keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
Parking brake
Check that the pedal 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.
CVT P (Park) position
mechanism
On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the P (Park) position without applying any brakes.

Item
Reference page
Windshield washer
fluid
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant level
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
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,
deterioration or loose connections.
—
Brake fluid level
Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir.
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
frequent checks of the battery fluid level.
—
Engine drive belts
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level
Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot
and turning off the engine.
Power steering fluid
level and lines
Check the level on the dipstick 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
exhaust 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.

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/time intervals.
Schedule 1
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently include
one or more of the following driving conditions:
●
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
●
Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.
●
Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
●
Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
●
Driving in dusty conditions.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.
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 CON-
SULT-II every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to
CVT-64, "Check CVT Fluid Deterioration
.) And if CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmis-
sion fluid other than Genuine Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle
limited warranty.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every
30,000 miles (48,000) or 24 months.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

Checking Drive Belts
NLS0004P
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1.
Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2.
Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on belt midway
between pulleys.
●
Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.
●
Measure belt tension with tension gauge (Commercial service
tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked shown in
the figure.
●
When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.
●
Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is
not within specifications.
CAUTION:
●
When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the
specified value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
●
Release the tension by loosing lock nut and turning
adjusting bolt when adjusting the belt. Tighten once the
lock nut at 4.9 N·m(0.50 Kg-m,43 in-lb). Then, adjust the
belt tension by loosing lock nut between 45
°
and 90
°
.
Belt Deflection and Tension
*: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on the belt.

NLS0004Q
CAUTION:
●
When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.
