FOR NORTH AMERICA

FOR NORTH AMERICA : Explanation of General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000005516128

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
checks and inspections themselves or 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.

Item

Reference page

Tires

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

WT-60

Wheel nuts

When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose 
nuts. Tighten if necessary.

—

Tire rotation

Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).

MA-32

Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) 
transmitter compo-
nents

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

WT-57

Wheel alignment and 
balance

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 align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed.

MA-32

Windshield

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

—

Windshield wiper 
blades

Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.

—

Doors and engine 
hood

Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back 
door. 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 lubrica-
tion frequently.

MA-38

Lamps

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

Warning lamps and 
chimes

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

—

Windshield wiper and 
washer

Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not 
streak.

—

Windshield defroster

Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient quan-
tity when operating the heater or air conditioner.

—

Steering wheel

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

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).

FOR MEXICO

Seats

Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to make 
sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every position. 
Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that the locks (if 
equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches lock secure-
ly for folding-down rear seatbacks.

—

Seat belts

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

MA-38

Accelerator pedal

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

—

Brakes

Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied.

—

Brake pedal and 
booster

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance un-
der it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep the 
floor mats away from the pedal.

BR-9

, 

BR-15

Parking brake

Check that the lever or the pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the ve-
hicle is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.

PB-3

CVT P (Park) position 
mechanism

On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever 
in the P (Park) position without applying any brakes.

Item

Reference page

Windshield washer flu-
id

Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.

—

Engine coolant level

Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.

CO-11

Radiator and hoses

Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may 
have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, deteriora-
tion or loose connections.

—

Brake fluid level

Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the 
reservoir.

MA-34

Battery

Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. 
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.

PG-3

Engine drive belt

Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.

MA-18

Engine oil level

Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot and 
turning off the engine.

LU-7

Power steering fluid 
level and lines

Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for improper at-
tachment, leaks, cracks, etc.

MA-36

Exhaust system

Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust 
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble 
and correct it.

MA-28

Underbody

The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used 
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain 
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late.

—

Fluid leaks

Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has 
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal. 
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause 
and correct it immediately.
