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 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 (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 90,000 km (54,000 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.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

•  Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (1) If the oil replacement indicator is displayed, change the engine oil as soon as possible. After replace the engine oil, reset

the display.

• (2) The replacement interval for the timing belt is the maximum lifespan which should not be exceeded. Replace the timing

belt if it comes into contact with fuel.

• (3) Replace drive belt if it comes into contact with fuel or damage is found during inspection.

• (4) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (Blue) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion

within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. Check and correct the engine coolant
mixture ratio every 40,000 km (24,000 miles) or 24 months. First replacement interval is 160,000 km (96,000 miles) or 96
months. After first replacement, replace every 80,000 km (48,000 miles) or 48 months.

• (5) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

• (6) Drain water also when water level sensor lamp turns on in combination meter.
