GENERAL MAINTENANCE

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station,
including the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
—
Windshield wiper blades
Doors and engine hood
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). SU-8
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Check that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate properly.Also ensure 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 for lubrication frequently.
BT-7
BT-13
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Item Reference page
Lamps Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps,
and other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp aim.
Warning lamps and chimes
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play.
Make sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating prop­erly.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)
—
—
—
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
RS-3
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel.
Item Reference page
Windshield washer fluid
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. LC-19, LC-59 Engine oil level Check the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off
Brake and clutch fluid levels
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
=NLMA0006S03
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 anti­corrosion and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cool­ing system additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
+ For Europe
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent. Because L2N is premixed type coolant.
+ Except for Europe
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Nissan Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent in its qual­ity with the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown left.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your cooling system.
+ When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant
hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.
Unit: specific gravity
Coolant temperature °C(°F)
30% 1.046 - 1.050 1.042 - 1.046 1.038 - 1.042 1.033 - 1.038 50% 1.076 - 1.080 1.070 - 1.076 1.065 - 1.071 1.059 - 1.065
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.
