PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-4

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue functioning correctly. Owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves, or they can be carried out by a NISSAN dealer.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, unless otherwise specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge weekly when at a service station, including the spare,
and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or exces-
sive wear.
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly.
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
function correctly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch prevents the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication more
often.MA-54
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). MA-53
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating correctly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes
are functioning correctly.
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering
operation, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in.)
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing
for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-54
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e. g. each time you check
the engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-24 / MA-34 /
MA-45
Brake and clutch fluid levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between
the“MAX”and“MIN”lines on the reservoir.MA-51 / MA-48
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the“MAX”and“MIN”lines.

When installing radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the radiator cap seal.
Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than the specified value may cause damage
to radiator.
Checking Fuel Lines
Inspect fuel lines and tank for improper attachment and for leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.
CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end
is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.

Changing Fuel Filter
WARNING:
Before removing fuel filter, release fuel pressure from fuel
line.
With Consult II
1. Release fuel pressure using the following procedure.
a. Start engine.
b. Perform“FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE”in“WORK
SUPPORT”mode to release fuel pressure to zero.
c. After engine stalls, crank engine two or three times to
make sure that fuel pressure is released.
d. Turn ignition switch“OFF”.
WARNING:
Use rubber gloves to prevent fuel from contacting the skin
when removing fuel hoses and filter.
2. Loosen fuel hose clamps.
3. Replace fuel filter.

Be careful not to spill fuel over engine compartment.
Place a shop towel to absorb fuel.

Use a high-pressure type fuel filter. Do not use a syn-
thetic resinous fuel filter.

When tightening fuel hose clamps, refer to“Checking
Fuel Lines”, MA-22
