MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Your new NISSAN has been designed to
have minimum maintenance require-
ments with long service intervals to save
you both time and money. However, some
day-to-day and regular maintenance is es-
sential to maintain your NISSAN’s fine me-
chanical condition, and its Electric Vehicle
(EV) system performance.
sponsibility to perform these procedures
regularly as prescribed.
During the 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 smell, be sure to
check for the cause or have a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer do it promptly. In addition,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer if you think that re-
pairs are required.
Performing general maintenance checks
requires minimal mechanical skill and only
a few general automotive tools.
These checks or inspections can be done
by yourself, a qualified technician or, if you
prefer, a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure
that the scheduled maintenance, and gen-
eral maintenance, is performed.
WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE
When performing any checks or mainte-
nance work, refer to “Maintenance precau-
tions” in this section.
If maintenance service is required or your
vehicle appears to malfunction, have the
systems checked and serviced. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
As the vehicle owner, you are the only one
who can ensure that your vehicle receives
the proper maintenance care. You are a
vital link in the maintenance chain.
