General MaintenanceELS001BI
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 owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have their NISSAN dealers perform them.
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.ItemReference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge at least once a month and always prior to a
long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Wheel lug nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.WT-7, "
Rotation"
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.—
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).WT-7, "
Rotation"
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed.WT-6, "Balancing
Wheels", FSU-6, "Front
Wheel Alignment"
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.

Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary.
Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the pri-
mary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently.MA-31, "
Lubricating
Locks, Hinges and Hood
Latches"
Lamps
Make sure that the head lamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head
lamp aim. Clean the head lamps on a regular basis.LT- 3 0 , "Aiming Adjust-
ment" for US, LT- 4 6 ,

streak.—
Windshield defrosterCheck that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.—
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering
condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.PS-7, "

SeatsCheck seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
position. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
latches lock securely for folding-down rear seat backs.—
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.SB-10, "

Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-13
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation,
deterioration or loose connections.—
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoirsMA-28
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.MA-13
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
ing off the engine.MA-17

level and linesCheck the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.MA-29
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.MA-22
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.MA-22
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—

6. Install the lower glove box in the instrument panel and secure it
with the two hinge pins.
Checking Exhaust SystemELS001BZ
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
Checking A/T FluidELS001C0
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Check for any fluid leaks.
3. Remove the tightening bolt for the ATF level gauge.
4. Before driving, the fluid level can be checked at fluid tempera-
tures of 30° to 50°C (86° to 122°F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear
position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the fluid level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the fluid from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the ATF level gauge into the charging pipe until the
cap contacts the top of the charging pipe as shown.
CAUTION:
To check fluid level, insert the ATF level gauge until the cap
contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position.
f. Remove the ATF level gauge and note the fluid level. If the fluid
level is at low side of range, add fluid to the transmission
through the charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the transmission with fluid.
5. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.

PEDAL STROKE

When parking brake pedal is operated with the specified force, make sure the stroke is within the specified
number of notches. Check by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.
INSPECTION

Make sure the components are attached properly, checking for looseness or backlash.

Check parking brake pedal assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.

Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.

Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary. Refer to DI-31, "Wir-
ing Diagram — WARN —" .
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove lower driver instrument panel. Refer to IP-13, "Instrument Lower Cover LH" .
2. Partially engage parking brake pedal to access adjusting nut.
3. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen
cable sufficiently. Then, disengage the parking brake pedal.
4. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
5. Remove the rotor and measure inner diameter at widest point
using Tool.
6. Transfer measurement less 0.6 mm to the parking brake shoes
and adjust accordingly.
7. Using wheel nuts, secure the disc to the hub to prevent it from
tilting.
8. Rotate disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
9. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg,
11 0 l b ) .
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke to
specification.
c. With parking brake pedal completely disengaged, make sure
there is no drag on the parking brake.Pedal stroke : 3 − 4 notches [under force of 196 N (20.0 kg, 44.1 lb)]
