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-
MA-8
one or more of the following driving conditions: tem Maintenance
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• 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, taxi Chassis and Body

or door-to-door delivery use. Maintenance
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
• Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.

Maintenance
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte- L
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace, E = Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio.
NOTE:
• Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi- G
tions”.
• (1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with
CONSULT-III every 100,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to TM-36, "CONSULT-III Function
(TRANSMISSION)".) And if CONSULT-III is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 100,000 km (60,000 miles). H
Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.

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 J
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genu- K
ine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality with
the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown right.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your L
cooling system.

CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
• When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
• Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.
• Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to TM-36,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".

CAUTION:
• After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improperly
operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal colli-
sion where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.
• If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.
• If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.
• Never oil tongue and buckle.
• Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to SB-5, "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Inspection" , SB-10, "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR :
Inspection" in SB section.
• Check anchors for loose mounting
• Check belts for damage
• Check retractor for smooth operation
• Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released
