PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS001BJ
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance For Off-road Driving (4WD only)ELS001BK
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters
Schedule 1ELS001BL
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:

Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.

Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

Driving in dusty conditions.

Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier.Emission Control Sys-

(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace drive belts if damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EDS002H3
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WAR NIN G:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Transfer Assembly and Transfer Control Unit ReplacementEDS002H4
When replacing transfer assembly or transfer control unit, check the 4WD shift indicator lamp as follows.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp is turned ON for approx. 1 second.

If OK, the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit is correct.

If NG, the position is different between transfer assembly and transfer control unit.
Adjust the position between transfer assembly and transfer control unit. Refer to TF-4, "
METHOD FOR
POSITION ADJUSTMENT" .
METHOD FOR POSITION ADJUSTMENT
1. Start engine. Run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
2. Stop vehicle and move A/T selector lever to “N” position with brake pedal depressed. Stay in "N" for at
least 2 seconds.
3. Turn 4WD shift switch to “2WD” position. Stay in "2WD" for at least 2 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF”.
5. Start engine.
6. Erase self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-47, "
How to Erase Self-diagnostic Results" (with CONSULT-II) or TF-
53, "ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS" (without CONSULT-II).
7. Check 4WD shift indicator lamp. Refer to TF-32, "
CHECK BEFORE ENGINE IS STARTED" .
If 4WD shift indicator lamp does not indicate "2WD", install new transfer control unit and retry the above
check.
PrecautionsEDS002H5

Before connecting or disconnecting the transfer control
unit harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and dis-
connect battery ground cable. Failure to do so may damage
the transfer control unit. Battery voltage is applied to trans-
fer control unit even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.
