.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drain plug gasket.

30. Lift down the vehicle.

CVT FLUID : Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009681965

CAUTION:

• Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN

CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) war-

ranty.

• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CONSULT so that the oil temperature may be main-

tained from 35 to 45

°C (95 to 113°F).

• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
1. Check that the selector lever is in the “P” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40

°C (104°F). 

NOTE:

The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the

“FLUID TEMP” under “TRANSMISSION” in “Data Monitor” while adjusting.

4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it

to the “P” position.

NOTE:

Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.

5. Lift up the vehicle.
6. Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
7. Remove the drain plug. Refer to 

TM-240, "Removal and Installation"

.

8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain

plug hole.

CAUTION:

Tighten the charging pipe by hand.

9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe.

CAUTION:

Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging

pipe until it stops.

10. Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid. 
11. Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and

check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it

does not drain out, perform charging again.

CAUTION:

Perform this work with the vehicle idling.

12. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan. 
13. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to 

TM-240, "Removal and Installation"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drain plug gasket.

14. Lift down the vehicle.
15. Stop the engine.

INFOID:0000000009417527

FLUID LEAKAGE

• Check clutch line for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.

• Check for fluid leakage by fully depressing clutch pedal while engine is running.

CAUTION:

If leaks occur around connections, reinstall the lines or replace damaged parts, if necessary.

FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified

range, between the MAX and MIN lines as shown.

• Visually check for any clutch fluid leaks around the reservoir tank.

• Check the clutch system for any leaks if the fluid level is extremely

low (lower than MIN).

CLUTCH FLUID : Draining

INFOID:0000000009417528

CAUTION:

Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If fluid spills, wipe up immediately and wash the

affected area with water.
1. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to air bleeder of bleeding con-

nector (1).

2. Press the lock pin (1) into the bleeding connector (2), and main-

tain the position.

CAUTION:

Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If fluid spills, wipe up immediately and wash the

affected area with water.
1. Check that there is no foreign material in reservoir tank and then fill with new clutch fluid.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse drained clutch fluid.

2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to air bleeder of bleeding con-

nector (1).
