MR16DDT : Periodic Maintenance

INFOID:0000000011734928

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-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

• (2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged.

• (3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within

the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. First replace at 100,000 km (62,500 miles)/60
months, then every 60,000 km (37,500 miles)/48 months. Perform “I” (Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture
ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.

• (4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

• (5) Perform diagnosis for all systems with CONSULT and check for DTC.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE (FOR EUROPE)

Abbreviations: R = Replace, I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, [ ] = At the specified mileage only

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving condi-

tions”.

• (1) Inspect once per year.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR EUROPE)

The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
A — Driving under dusty conditions
B — Driving repeatedly short distances
