PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

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 every 300,000 km (187,500 miles).

• (3) Replace the drive belt if found damaged.

• (4) 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 90,000 km (54,000 miles)/60
months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. After first replacement, perform “I” (Checking the mixture ratio and
correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at each interval.

• (5) Perform diagnosis for all systems with CONSULT and check for DTC.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE (FOR RUSSIA AND UKRAINE)

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

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving condi-

tions”.

• (1) Use only genuine NISSAN CVT fluid. if towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy

roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration at NISSAN dealers with CONSULT every 75,000 km (45,000 miles), then change CVT
fluid if necessary. And if the inspection with CONSULT is not performed, change (do not just inspect) CVT fluid every 75,000
km (45,000 miles). Using transmission fluid other than genuine NISSAN CVT fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered
by the warranty.

• (2) inspect once per year.
