General MaintenanceELS000AL
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.
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.Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, includ-
ing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive 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 operate prop-
erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for
lubrication frequently.BL-12
, BL-18
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).MA-41
Item Reference page
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim.—
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, 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-45

CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with
a radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and a radiator
cap tester adapter (special service tool).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000ZG
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration. If nec-
essary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterELS000ZH
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning.
Changing Engine OilELS000ZI
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for oil leakage from engine components. Refer to LU-
7, "ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.Testing pressure:

2. Check radiator cap relief pressure.
When connecting radiator cap to radiator cap tester (commer-
cial service tool) and radiator cap tester adapter (special ser-
vice tool), apply engine coolant to the cap seal surface.
Replace radiator cap if there is an unusualness in negative-
pressure valve, or if the relief pressure exceed the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (special service tool).
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant
escaping from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000CE
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.

Aiming Adjustment for HeadlampEKS003CG
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp
tester. Aimers should be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with respective operation man-
uals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other
than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when performing aiming adjustment.

2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.
First tighten the adjusting screw all the way and then make adjustment by loosening the screw.
If the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check
aiming. Use the aiming chart shown in the figure.
Adjust headlamps so that main axis of light is parallel to cen-
ter line of body and is aligned with point P shown in illustra-
tion.
Figure to the right shows headlamp aiming pattern for driving
on right side of road; for driving on left side of road, aiming
pattern is reversed.
Dotted lines to point P in illustration show center of head-
lamp.
Basic illuminating area for adjustment should be within the
range shown at right. Adjust headlamps accordingly.
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when preforming aiming
adjustment.
Aiming Adjustment for Driving LampEKS00AP6
Turn the aiming adjusting screw to adjust.
For positions of the adjustment screws and direction to turn,
refer to the figures.
When adjusting for right or left side, adjust upper and lower
adjustment screws at the same time.
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2. Place vehicle on level ground.
3. Set that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position),
coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level, full fuel tank and spare tire, jack, and tools."H" : Horizontal center line of headlamps
