PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3

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 excessive
wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. Ð
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-45
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). MA-43
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.Ð
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes are
functioning correctly.Ð
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)Ð
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 of damage.MA-46
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. MA-22
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-21
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the ªMAXº and
ªMINº lines on the reservoir.MA-36/MA-40
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ªMAXº and ªMINº lines. Ð
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA-4

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
