General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000010735278

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

INSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.

Doors and hood

Check that all doors and the hood operate smoothly as well as the back door, trunk lid 
and hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make 
sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is 
released. When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lu-
brication frequently.

MA-72

Lamps

Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, 
tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and other lamps are all operating properly and installed 
securely. Also check the aim of the headlamps.

—

Tires

Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips. Adjust 
the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified. Check carefully 
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.

WT-66

Tire rotation

In the case that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) and front & rear tires are same size; Tires 
should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tires marked with directional indica-
tors can only be rotated between front and rear. Make sure that the directional indica-
tors point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is completed.
In the case that Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) and front & rear tires are same size; Tires 
should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tires marked with directional indica-
tors can only be rotated between front and rear. Make sure that the directional indica-
tors point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is completed.
In the case that front tires are different size from rear tires; Tires cannot be rotated. 
However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your driving habits and the 
road surface conditions.

MA-67

Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System (TPMS) transmitter 
components
(if equipped)

Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires are 
replaced due to wear or age.

WT-62

Wheel alignment and bal-
ance

If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if 
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If 
the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may 
be needed.

Windshield

Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six 
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.

—

Wiper blades

Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly.

Accelerator pedal

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure that the pedal does not catch or 
require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.

—

Brake pedal

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure that it is the proper distance from 
the floor mat when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep 
the floor mats away from the pedal.

pedal (if equipped) has the proper travel. Also make sure that the vehicle is held se-
curely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.

—

Seat belts

Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for example, buckles, anchors, adjusters 
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the 
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

MA-72

Steering wheel

Check for changes in the steering condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or 
strange noises. Check that it has the specified play.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)

—

Warning lamps and chimes

Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly.

Except for maintenance free battery; Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the “UPPER” and “LOWER” lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or un-
der severe conditions require frequent checks of the battery fluid level.

Brake (and clutch) fluid lev-
el(s)

For Manual Transmission (MT) model; Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels 
are between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir(s).

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.

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 the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit. 

• (3) 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 (36,000miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the mid-
dle of replacement interval.

• (4) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

• (5) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.25 mm (0.049 in) even if within specified periodic replacement mileage.

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