CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary.
NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months. Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause
deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not
covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(2) Tires cannot be rotated in this vehicle. Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL

Schedule 2NLS00007
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
NOTE:
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged or if auto belt tensioner reading reaches maximum limit.
(2) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(3) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(4) 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

Tire RotationNLS0000S
CAUTION:
Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
NOTE:
Tire cannot be rotated in vehicle, as front tire are different size from rear tire and the direction of wheel rotation
is fixed in each tire.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS0000T

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0000U

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0000V
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "
BRAKE FLUID" .

Refill with recommended Genuine Brake Fluid or equivalent
DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Checking Disc BrakeNLS0000W
