Nissan NV Passenger Van (2018 year). Instruction - part 22

REPLACING SPARK PLUGS

Iridium-tipped spark plugs

It is not necessary to replace iridium-
tipped

䊊

spark plugs as frequently as con-

ventional type spark plugs because they
last much longer. Follow the maintenance
log shown in the “Maintenance and sched-
ules” section of this manual. Do not service
iridium-tipped spark plugs by cleaning or
regapping.

∙ Always replace spark plugs with

recommended or equivalent ones.

WARNING

Be sure the engine and ignition switch
are off and that the parking brake is
engaged securely.

CAUTION

Be sure to use the correct socket to re-
move the spark plugs. An incorrect
socket can damage the spark plugs.

If replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

AIR CLEANER

8-18

Do-it-yourself

The air cleaner filter should not be cleaned
and reused. Replace it according to the
maintenance log shown in the “Mainte-
nance and schedules" section of this
manual.

To remove the air cleaner filter:

䊊

Unlatch the clips and move the air
cleaner cover upward.

housing and the cover with a damp
cloth.

NOTE:

After installing a new air cleaner filter,
make sure the air cleaner cover is seated
in the housing and latch the clips.

WARNING

∙ Operating the engine with the air

cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops the
flame if the engine backfires. If it isn’t
there, and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Do not drive with the
air cleaner removed, and be careful
when working on the engine with the
air cleaner removed.

∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body

or attempt to start the engine with
the air cleaner removed. Doing so
could result in serious injury.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
(if so equipped)

The in-cabin microfilter restricts the entry
of airborne dust and pollen particles and
reduces

some

objectionable

outside

odors. The filter is located behind the glove
box. For additional information, refer to the
"Maintenance and schedules" section for
change intervals.

To replace the filter, perform the following
procedure:

1. Open the glove box.

CLEANING

If your windshield is not clear after using
the windshield-washer or if a wiper blade
chatters when running, wax or other mate-
rial may be on the blade or windshield.

Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form
when rinsing with clear water.

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in
the “In case of emergency” section of
this manual.

TIRE PRESSURE

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)

WARNING

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all four tires except the
spare. When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit, and the TIRE PRES warning ap-
pears in the trip computer, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.

The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example
a flat tire while driving).

For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and
driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.

Tire inflation pressure

Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) often and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because:

∙ Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a
curb while parking.

Rear combination light

LDI2029

WHEELS AND TIRES

Do-it-yourself

The

tire

pressures

should

checked when the tires are cold. The
tires are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail

suddenly

and

cause

accident.

∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR)

the

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.

certifica-

tion label. The vehicle weight
capacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
Do not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire fail-
ure, or unfavorable handling
characteristics and could also
lead to a serious accident. Load-
ing beyond the specified capac-
ity may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.

∙ Before taking a long trip, or

whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use

tire

pressure

gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

∙ For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
