MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

During normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle,

general maintenance should be performed regularly as

prescribed in this section. If you detect any unusual

sounds, vibrations or smells, be sure to check for the

cause or have a NISSAN dealer do it promptly. In

addition, you should notify a NISSAN dealer if you think

that repairs are required.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE

Some day-to-day and regular maintenance is essential

to maintain your vehicle’s good mechanical condition,

as well as its emission and engine performance.

If maintenance service is required or your vehicle

appears to malfunction, have the systems checked and

tuned by an authorized NISSAN dealer.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the

specified maintenance, as well as general mainte-

nance, is performed.

As the vehicle owner, you are the only one who can

ensure that your vehicle receives the proper main-

tenance care.

When performing any checks or maintenance work,

closely observe “Maintenance precautions” (P.8-4).

EXPLANATION OF GENERAL MAINTE-

NANCE ITEMS

Additional information on the following items

with “*” is found later in this section.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

For your convenience, the required scheduled main-

tenance items are described and listed in a separate

Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet. You

must refer to that booklet to ensure that necessary

maintenance is performed on your vehicle at regular

intervals.

Outside vehicle

The maintenance items listed here should be per-

formed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Doors and hood:

General maintenance includes those items which

should be checked during normal day-to-day operation

of the vehicle. They are essential if your vehicle is to

continue to operate properly. It is your responsibility to

perform these procedures regularly as prescribed.

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 lubrication frequently.

Performing general maintenance checks requires

minimal mechanical skill and only

automotive tools.

a

few general

Lights*:

These checks or inspections can be done by yourself,

a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your NISSAN

dealer.

Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make sure that

the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights,

and other lights are all operating properly and installed

securely. Also check the aim of the headlights.

8-2 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

Tires*:

needed.

Steering wheel:

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.

Check for changes in the steering condition, such as

excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.

Windshield:

Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the

windshield at least every six months for cracks or other

damage. Repair as necessary.

Warning lights and chimes:

Make sure that all warning lights and chimes are

operating properly.

Tire rotation*:

Wiper blades*:

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

indicators can only be rotated between front and rear.

Make sure that the directional indicators point in the

direction of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is

completed.

Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly.

Replace as necessary.

Windshield defogger:

Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets

properly and in good quantity when operating the

heater or air conditioner.

Inside vehicle

The maintenance items listed here should be checked

on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic

maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.

Windshield wiper and washer*:

Check that the wipers and washer operate properly

and that the wipers do not streak.

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

indicators can only be rotated between front and rear.

Make sure that the directional indicators point in the

direction of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is

completed.

Accelerator pedal:

Under hood and vehicle

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.

The maintenance items listed here should be checked

periodically (for example, each time you check the

engine oil or refuel).

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.

Battery*:

In the case that front tires are different size from rear

tires; Tires cannot be rotated.

Except for maintenance free battery, check the fluid

level in each cell. It should be between the “UPPER”

and “LOWER” lines. Vehicles operated in high

temperatures or under severe conditions require

frequent checks of the battery fluid level.

However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according

to your driving habits and the road surface conditions.

Parking brake*:

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) trans-

mitter components (if equipped):

Check the parking brake operation regularly. Check

that the lever (if equipped) or the pedal (if equipped)

has the proper travel. Also make sure that the vehicle is

held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the

parking brake is applied.

Brake (and clutch) fluid level(s)*:

Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve

core and cap when the tires are replaced due to wear

or age.

For Manual Transmission (MT) model; make sure that

the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the

“MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoirs.

Seat belts:

Wheel alignment and balance:

Except for Manual Transmission (MT) model; make

sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX”

and “MIN” lines on the reservoir.

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.

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

position (Manual Transmission models).

.

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic

engine cooling fan. It may come on at any

time without warning, even if the ignition

switch is in the “OFF” position and the

engine is not running. To avoid injury, always

disconnect the negative battery cable before

working near the fan.

Check the coolant level when the coolant is cold. Make

sure that the coolant level is between the “MAX” and

“MIN” lines on the reservoir.

.

Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or

“LOCK” position when performing any parts

replacement or repairs.

Do not work under the hood while the

engine is hot. Always turn off the engine

and wait until it cools down.

Engine drive belt(s)*:

Make sure that drive belt(s) is/are not frayed, worn,

cracked or oily.

.

Always wear eye protection whenever you

work on your vehicle.

If you must work with the engine running,

keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools

away from moving fans, belts and any other

moving parts.

Engine oil level*:

Never leave the engine or transmission

related component harness connector dis-

connected while the ignition switch is in the

“ON” position.

Check the level after parking the vehicle (on a level

ground) and turning off the engine.

Fluid leaks:

.

It is advisable to secure or remove any loose

clothing and any jewelry, such as rings,

watches, etc. before working on your vehi-

cle.

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 if fuel fumes

are evident, check for cause and have it corrected

immediately.

.

Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and

coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,

engine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids

can hurt the environment. Always conform to

local regulations for disposal of vehicle

fluids.

If you must run the engine in an enclosed

space such as a garage, be sure there is

proper ventilation for exhaust gases to

escape.

Windshield washer fluid*:

This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section

provides instructions regarding only those items which

are relatively easy for an owner to perform.

.

Never get under the vehicle while it is

supported by a jack.

Check that there is adequate fluid in the reservoir.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks

away from fuel and the battery.

You should be aware that incomplete or improper

servicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-

cessive emissions, and could affect your warranty

coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it

done by a NISSAN dealer.

When performing any inspection or maintenance work

on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious

accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle.

The following are general precautions which should be

closely observed.

Never connect or disconnect either the

battery or any transistorized component

connector while the ignition switch is in the

“ON” position.

.

On gasoline engine models with the Multi-

port Fuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuel

filter and fuel lines should be serviced by a

NISSAN dealer because the fuel lines are

under high pressure even when the engine is

turned off.

WARNING:

.

Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the

parking brake securely and block the wheels

to prevent the vehicle from moving. Move

the shift lever to the “P” (Park) position

(Continuously Variable Transmission mod-

els) or the shift lever to the “N” (Neutral)

TIRES AND WHEELS

If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire” (P.6-3).

TYPES OF TIRES

Snow tires

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires

equivalent in size and load rating to the original

equipment tires. If you do not, it can adversely affect

the safety and handling of your vehicle.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

(TPMS) (if equipped)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors

tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low

tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your

tires is significantly under-inflated.

CAUTION:

When changing or replacing tires, be sure all

four tires are of the same type (that is, summer,

all season or snow) and construction. A NISSAN

dealer may be able to help you with information

about tire type, size, speed rating and avail-

ability.

Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings than

factory equipped tires and may not match the potential

maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum

speed rating of the tire. If you install snow tires, they

must be the same size, brand, construction and tread

pattern on all four wheels.

The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven

at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also, this system

may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for

example a flat tire while driving).

Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than

the factory equipped tires, and they may not match the

potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the

maximum speed rating of the tire.

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may

be used. However, some states and provinces prohibit

their use. Check local, state and provincial laws before

installing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities

of studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be

poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.

For more details about the TPMS, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-3).

For additional information, see “Low tire pressure

warning light” (P.2-13).

All season tires

NISSAN specifies all season tires on some models to

provide good performance all year, including snowy

and icy road conditions. All season tires are identified

by ALL SEASON and/or M&S on the tire sidewall.

Snow tires have better snow traction than all season

tires and may be more appropriate in some areas.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE

TIRE CHAINS

Periodically check the pressure of the tires, including

the spare. An incorrect tire pressure may adversely

affect tire life and vehicle handling. The tire pressure

should be checked when tires are COLD. Tires are

considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked

for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile).

COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire placard.

Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to

location. Check the local laws before installing tire

chains. When installing tire chains, make sure that they

are of proper size for the tires on your vehicle and are

installed according to the chain manufacturer’s in-

structions.

Summer tires

NISSAN specifies summer tires on some models to

provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer

tire performance is substantially reduced in snow and

ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating

M&S on the tire sidewall.

Insufficient pressure can lead to an overheating of the

tire and subsequent internal damage. At high speeds,

this could result in tread separation and even bursting

of the tire.

Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire

chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links

of the tire chains must be secured or removed to

prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to

the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully

loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition,

drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may

be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance

may be adversely affected.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy

conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of snow or

all season tires on all four wheels.

8-26 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

Tire chains must be installed only on the front

wheels and not on the rear wheels.

.

Do not include the T-type spare tire in tire

rotation.

Improper service of a spare tire may result in serious

personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire,

contact a NISSAN dealer.

Never install tire chains on

(TEMPORARY USE ONLY).

a

T-type spare tire

Incorrect tire selection, fitting, care, or

maintenance can affect vehicle safety with

risk of accident and injury. If in doubt,

consult a NISSAN dealer or the tire manu-

facturer.

TIRE AGE

Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads which are

clear of snow. Driving with chains in such conditions

can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the

vehicle due to some overstress.

Never use a tire over six years old, regardless of

whether it has been used or not.

Tires degrade with age as well as with the vehicle

usage. Have your tires checked and balanced often by

a repair shop or, if you prefer, a NISSAN dealer.

For models equipped with Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)

TIRE ROTATION

After the tires are rotated, the TPMS must be reset.

See “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-

3) for details about the resetting procedure.

CHANGING TIRES AND WHEELS

WARNING:

TIRE WEAR AND DAMAGE

Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it

has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could

have structural damage and could fail without

warning.

When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed rating

and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. (See

“Tires and wheels” (P.9-8) for recommended types and

sizes of tires and wheels.) The use of tires other than

those recommended or the mixed use of tires of

different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted, or

radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride,

braking, handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire

clearance, snow chain clearance, Tire Pressure Mon-

itoring System (TPMS) (if equipped), speedometer

calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of

these effects may lead to accidents and could result in

serious personal injury.

SDI1662

NISSAN recommends that tires be rotated every

10,000 km (6,000 miles). However, the timing for tire

rotation may vary according to your driving habits and

the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for

the tire replacement.)

WARNING:

Tires should be periodically inspected for wear,

excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are

found, the tire should be replaced immediately.

.

After rotating the tires, adjust the tire

pressure.

If the wheels are changed for any reason, always

replace with wheels which have the same offset

dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause

early tire wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling

characteristics and/or interference with the brake

discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased

braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.

.

Do not use more than one T-type spare tire

at the same time.

Temporary-use (T-type) spare tire

Observe the following precautions if the T-type spare

tire must be used, otherwise your vehicle could be

damaged or involved in an accident.

Confirm the following for the TPMS (if equipped).

WARNING:

CAUTION:

.

When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is

replaced, the TPMS will not function and the

low tire pressure warning light will flash for

approximately 1 minute. The light will re-

main on after 1 minute. Contact a NISSAN

dealer as soon as possible for tire replace-

ment and/or system resetting.

.

The T-type spare tire should be used only for

emergency. It should be replaced by the

standard tire at the first opportunity.

.

Drive carefully while the T-type spare tire is

installed.

Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking while

driving.

Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

Periodically check the T-type spare tire

inflation pressure, and always keep it at

420 kPa (4.2 bar, 60 psi).

WHEEL BALANCE

.

Do not drive your vehicle at speeds faster

than 80 km/h (50 MPH).

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and

tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of

balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as

required.

Do not use tire chains on a T-type spare tire.

Tire chains will not fit properly on the T-type

spare tire and may cause damage to the

vehicle.

SPARE TIRE

.

Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will wear at

a faster rate than the original tire. Replace

the T-type spare tire as soon as the tread

wear indicators appear.

Because the T-type spare tire is smaller than

the original tire, ground clearance is re-

duced. To avoid damage to the vehicle do

not drive over obstacles. Also do not drive

the vehicle through an automatic car wash

since it may get caught.

SDI1912

.

Do not use the T-type spare tire on other

vehicles.
