PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

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 the CVT fluid if necessary. And if the
inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 100,000 miles (60,000 miles). Using transmission fluid other than
Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS (HR16DE ENGINE)

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

C — Towing a trailer or caravan

D — Extensive idling

E —Driving in extremely adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either

extremely low or extremely high

F — Driving in high humidity or mountainous areas

G — Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive areas

H — Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert

EXCEPT FOR MEXICO
EXCEPT FOR MEXICO : Periodic Maintenance

INFOID:0000000009452296

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.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (HR16DE ENGINE)

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 Con-

ditions”.

• (1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
• (2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged.
• (3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the

engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio every
40,000 km (24,000 miles) or 24 months. First replacement interval is 160,000 km (96,000 miles) or 96 months. After first replacement,
replace every 80,000 km (48,000 miles) or 48 months.

• (4) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
