NOTE:

•  Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

• (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 100,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid if neces-
sary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 100,000 km (60,000 miles). Using
transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty. Refer to
owner's manual for more information regarding correct fluids.

•  Maintenance items with “

” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.
