GENERAL MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE PFP:00000 Explanation of General Maintenance 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.

Tires Check the pressure with a gauge, includ in g the spare, at lea st once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Wheel nuts When checking the tires, make su re no nuts are miss in g, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.

If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and l evel roa d, 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 norm al highw ay speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PFP:00026 Introduction of Periodic Maintenance 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
maintenanc e at the same mileage/time int e rvals.
Schedule 1
Schedule 2
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if the driving habits frequently include
one or more of the following driving conditions:
● Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
● Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temper atu res
remaining below freezing.
● Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “r ush hour” traffic.
● Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
● Driving in dusty conditions.
● Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
● Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedul e 2 if none of drivi ng conditions shown in
Schedule 1 apply to the driving habits.

WARNING:
Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.
● Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixe d side) of drive belt auto-tens ioner is within the possible use
range (between three line notches on moving side).
NOTE:
● Check the dr ive belt auto-tensioner indication when th e engine is cold.
● When new dr ive belt is installed, t he indicator ( notch on fixed side) should be within the range “a” in the
figure.
● Visually check entire drive b elt for wear, damage or cracks.
● If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension Adjustment ALS000S5
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.
Changing Engine Coolant ALS000S6
WARNING:
● To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when the engine is hot.
● Wrap a thick cloth a round radia tor cap an d carefully remo ve the c ap. First, turn the ca p a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove RH and LH undercovers.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiat or cap.

6. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximatel y 50°C (122°F).
● Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
● If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
7. Refill reservo ir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 two or more times with radiator cap installed until the engine coolant level no
longer drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with the engine running.
10. Warm up the engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running the engine from idle up to

CAUTION:
● Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
● After removing double-faced adhesi ve tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
● If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
● Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
● Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the road wheel.
Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) Þ 40 g (1.41 oz) balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
