I Lubricate hinges and latches if necessary. Make

sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood

from opening when the primary latch is released.

Performing general maintenance checks require

minimal mechanical skill and only a few general

automotive tools.

Your new NISSAN has been designed to have

minimum maintenance requirements with longer

service intervals to save you both time and

money. However, some day-to-day and regular

maintenance is essential to maintain your

NISSAN's good mechanical condition, as well

as its emission and engine performance.

It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that

scheduled maintenance, as well as general

maintenance, is performed.

adequate fluid in the tank.

If maintenance service is required or your vehicle When performing any checks or maintenance

Engine coolant level* Check the coolant level

when the engine is cold.

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.

NISSAN technicians are well-trained specialists

and are kept up to date with the latest service

information through technical bulletins, service

tips, and in-dealership training programs. They

are completely qualified to work on NISSAN's

vehicles before they work on your vehicle,

rather than after they have worked on it.

For your convenience, the required scheduled

maintenance items are described and listed in a

separate maintenance booklet. You must refer to

that booklet to ensure that necessary mainte-

nance is performed on your NISSAN at regular

intervals.

The maintenance items listed below should be

checked on a regular basis, such as when

performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the

vehicle, etc.

Do not work under the engine hood

whiꢃe it is hot. Always turn off the en-

gine and wait untiꢃ it cooꢃs down.

The maintenance items listed here should be

performed from time to time, unless otherwise

specified.

You can be confident that NISSAN dealer's

service department performs the best job to

meet the maintenance requirements on our ve-

hicle - in a reliable and economic way.

Batteꢀ* Check the fluid level in each cell. It

should be between the MAX and MIN lines.

If you must work with the engine run-

ning, keep your hands, cꢃothing, hair

and tools away from moving fans, belts

and any other moving paꢂs.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The use of other types of engine coolant may

damage your cooling system.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory

with a high-quality, year-round and extended life

engine coolant The high quality engine coolant

contains the specific solutions effective for the

anti-corrosion and the anti-freeze function.

Therefore, additional cooling system additives

are not necessary.
