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 every 90,000 km (54,000 miles), then change CVT fluid if necessary.
And if the inspection is not performed, change (do not just inspect) CVT fluid every 90,000 km (54,000 miles). Using trans-
mission fluid other than genuine NISSAN CVT fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR SOUTH AFRICA)

The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is

extremely low or extremely high
F — Driving in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas
G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials
H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert
I — Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas
J — Frequent off road use or driving in water
