Changing CVT FluidBLS0009I
1. Warm up CVT fluid by driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
: Vehicle front
Radiator (2)
CVT fluid cooler hose [inlet side (3)]
Transaxle assembly (4)
2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and
refill with new CVT fluid at CVT fluid charging pipe with the
engine running at idle speed.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose
[outlet side (1)].
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Do not mix with other fluid.
Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and
CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-II after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-46,
"Check CVT Fluid Deterioration Date" .
4. Check fluid leakage, fluid level and condition.
Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)BLS0005W
REMOVAL
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbal-
ance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.CVT fluid:

Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesBLS00063
Check fluid level in reservoir tank with engine off.
Use “HOT” range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
or “COLD” range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30°C (32 to 86°F).
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
Recommended fluid is DEXRONTM III type ATF or equiva-
lent.
Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Axle and Suspension PartsBLS00064
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks or other damage.

POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelBGS0003P
Check fluid level with the engine stopped.
Make sure that fluid level is between MIN and MAX.
Fluid levels at HOT and COLD are different. Do not confuse
them.
CAUTION:
The fluid level should not exceed the MAX line. Excessive
fluid will cause fluid leakage from the cap.
Do not reuse drained power steering fluid.
Checking Fluid LeakageBGS0003Q
Check hydraulic connections for fluid leakage, cracks, damage,
looseness, or wear.
1. Run engine until the fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F) in reservoir tank, and keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel several times from full left stop to full right
stop.
3. Hold steering wheel at each lock position for five seconds and
carefully, check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not overtighten con-
nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid, indicating from steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemBGS0003R
If air bleeding is not complete, the following symptoms can be observed.
Bubbles are created in reservoir tank.
Clicking noise can be heard from oil pump.
Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
NOTE:
Fluid noise may occur in the steering gear or oil pump. This does not affect performance or durability of
the system.
1. Turn steering wheel several times from full left stop to full right stop with engine off.
CAUTION:
Filling reservoir tank with fluid so as not to lower fluid level below the MIN line while steering
wheel turning.
2. Start engine and hold steering wheel at each lock position for 3 seconds at idle to check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 above several times at approximately 3 second intervals.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possi-
bility that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check fluid for bubbles and white contamination.
5. Stop engine if bubbles and white contamination do not drain out. Perform steps 2 to 3 above after waiting
until bubbles and white contamination drain out.HOT : Fluid temperature 50 – 80°C (122 – 176°F)
COLD : Fluid temperature 0 – 30°C (32 – 86°F)
