To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and
economical driving, NISSAN provides two
periodic maintenance schedules that may
be used, depending upon the conditions in
which you usually drive. These schedules
contain both distance and time intervals, up
to 60,000 miles (96,000 km)/48 months. For
most people, the odometer reading will in-
dicate when service is needed. However, if
you drive very little, your vehicle should be
serviced at the regular time intervals shown
in the schedule.
After 60,000 miles (96,000 km)/48
months, continue periodic maintenance
at the same mileage/time intervals.
SCHEDULE 1
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule one
if your driving habits frequently include one
or more of the following driving conditions:
ORepeated short trips of less than 5
miles (8 km).
ORepeated short trips of less than 10
miles (16 km) with outside tempera-
tures below freezing.
OOperating the vehicle in hot weatherduring stop-and-go ``rush hour'' traf-
fic.
OExtensive idling and/or low speed
driving for long distances, such as
police, taxi or door-to-door delivery
use.
ODriving in dusty conditions.
ODriving on rough, muddy, or salt
spread roads.
