General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000003938592

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 owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have their NISSAN dealers perform 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 a long distance trips. 
Adjust the pressurein all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified. 
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.

—

Wheel lug nuts

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

WT-48, "Rotation"

Windshield

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

Tire rotation

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

WT-48, "Rotation"

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-8, "System Diagram"

Wheel alignment and 
balance

If the vehicle pulls 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.

WT-47, "Balancing 

Wheels"

FSU-6, "Front 

Wheel Alignment"

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 
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 lubri-
cation frequently.

MA-46, "LOCKS, HING-

ES AND HOOD LATCH :

es and Hood Latches"

Lamps

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

Function Check"

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 
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.

—

Steering wheel

Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering 
condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.

ST-12, "On-Vehicle In-

spection and Service"

Seats

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

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).

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.

—

Brake pedal and 
booster

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance 
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Keep the floor 
mats away from the pedal.

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, de-
terioration or loose connections.

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.

Power steering fluid 
level and lines

Check the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper 
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.

MA-44

Exhaust system

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

MA-32

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 sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the 
exhaust system. 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 accumulate.

—

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.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Introduction of Periodic Maintenance

INFOID:0000000003938593

Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.

Maintenance for off-road driving (4X4 only)
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:

 Brake pads and rotors
 Brake lines and hoses
 Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
 Steering linkage
 Drive shafts
 Engine air cleaner filter
 In-cabin microfilters

Schedule 1

INFOID:0000000003938594

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Abbreviations: R = Replace.

I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.

[ ]: At the mileage intervals only

Schedule 1

Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes 
one or more of the following driving conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures re-

maining below freezing.

• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found 

      damaged, or if the auto tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit. 

(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.

(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.

(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.

(5) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.

* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
