HRA2DDT : Periodic Maintenance

INFOID:0000000010503096

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 (FOR EUROPE)

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) 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 100,000 km (62,500 miles)/60
months, then every 60,000 km (37,500 miles)/48 months. After first replacement, perform “I” (Checking the mixture ratio and
correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at each interval.

• (5) Fuel filter is maintenance-free.

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

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 100,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid if neces-
sary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (do not just inspect) CVT fluid every 100,000 km (60,000 miles). Using
transmission fluid other than genuine NISSAN CVT fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

• (2) Even if it is before the replacement interval, if the amount of air conditioner of heater coming out of the vent is drastically

low or if the windows fog up easily, please replace the air conditioner filter.

• (3) Inspect once per year.
