GENERAL MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Explanation of General Maintenance

PFP:00000

ALS000RX

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 checks and inspections themselves or have their NISSAN dealers do them.

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, including the spare, at least once a month
		and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if nec-	—
		essary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
	Wheel nuts	When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any	—
		loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.
	Windshield	Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six	—
		months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.
	Tire rotation	Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).	MA-25
	Wheel alignment and	If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
	balance	you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-	MA-24, FSU-6
		ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
		balancing may be needed.
	Windshield wiper	Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.	—
	blades
	Doors and engine	Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the trunk
	hood	lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if
		necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening	MA-29
		when the primary latch is released.
		When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
		cation frequently.
	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 head-	—
		lamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis.

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
	Warning lamps and	Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly.	—
	chimes
	Windshield wiper and	Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not	—
	washer	streak.
	Windshield defroster	Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient	—
		quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.
	Steering wheel	Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering
		condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.	—
		Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)
	Seats	Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
		make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
		position. Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that	—
		the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
		latches lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks.
	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	MA-29
		belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
	Clutch pedal	Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has proper clearance.	CL-5
	Accelerator pedal	Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch	—
		or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

		Item	Reference page
	Brakes	Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied.	—
	Brake pedal and	Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
	booster	under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to	BR-6, BR-21
		keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
	Parking brake	Check that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held	PB-3
		securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.
	Automatic transmis-	On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
	sion P (Park) position		—

	mechanism

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	Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.	—
	fluid
	Engine coolant level	Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.	MA-13
	Radiator and hoses	Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
		may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation,	—
		deterioration or loose connections.
	Brake and clutch fluid	Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and	MA-20, MA-26
	levels	“MIN” lines on the reservoirs.
	Battery	Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
		lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require	—
		frequent checks of the battery fluid level.
	Engine drive belts	Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.	MA-13
	Engine oil level	Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-	MA-16
		ing off the engine.
	Power steering fluid	Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for improper	MA-27
	level and lines	attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
	Exhaust system	Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
		exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate	MA-20
		the trouble and correct it.
	Underbody	The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
		used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
		stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around	—
		the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
		flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
		can easily accumulate.
	Fluid leaks	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 gasoline fumes are evident, check for
		the cause and correct it immediately.

Introduction of Periodic Maintenance

PFP:00026

ALS000RY

Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.

	Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently include	Emission Control Sys-
	one or more of the following driving conditions:	tem Maintenance
	● Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).		MA-7
	● Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
	remaining below freezing.
Schedule 1	● Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
	● Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
		Chassis and Body
	taxi or door-to-door delivery use.	Maintenance
	● Driving in dusty conditions.		MA-8
	● Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
	● Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.
	Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 2 if none of driving conditions shown in	Emission Control Sys-	MA-9
	Schedule 1 apply to the driving habits.	tem Maintenance
