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 re-
tractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt MA-40
webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
Accelerator pedal Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch or re-
—
quire uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
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 under

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 fluid level Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the res-
MA-36
ervoir.
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. Ve-
hicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent PG-3
checks of the battery fluid level.
Engine drive belt Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-20
Engine oil level Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
LU-7
ing off the engine.
Power steering fluid Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for improper attach-
MA-38
level and lines ment, 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 the trouble and MA-30
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 substances, 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 care-
ful 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.

NOTE:
(1) Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid. If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads,
inspect CVT fluid deterioration at NISSAN dealers every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid if necessary. (Refer to TM-37,
"CONSULT Function".) And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km).
H
Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new
vehicle limited warranty.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every I
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conserving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubri-
cant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.

FOR NORTH AMERICA : Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000007539578

E
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec- F
essary.
WARNING:
• Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine and
G
radiator cool down. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radia-
tor.
• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap. H
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro- I
vide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather
where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-
trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain J
minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other
than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system. K
• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),
including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

• The details of the adjustment procedure are different for each model of wheel balancer. Therefore, refer to
each instruction manual.
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 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.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
a. Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed A
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz) bal-
ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value) B
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example: C
36.2 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
36.3 ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz)
