PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
(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 belt if found
damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(2) Maintenance-free item.
(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.

SAE Viscosity NumberELS001YH
SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil is preferred for all temperatures. SAE 10W-
30 and 10W-40 viscosity oil may be used if the ambient temperature
is above −18°C (0°F).
NOTE:
Use of 5W-30 viscosity oil will increase fuel economy.
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture RatioELS001YI
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-Freeze
coolant or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio.
The use of other types of coolant solutions may damage the engine cooling system.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
ECS00GLL
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.
PrecautionsUCS005LD
If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder).
Installed CSC returns to the original position when removing transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc slid-
ing parts may damage CSC seal, and may cause clutch fluid leakage.
Do not reuse transaxle oil.
Drain, fill and check transaxle oil with the vehicle on level surface.
During removal or installation, keep inside of transaxle clear of dust or dirt.
Check for the correct installation orientation prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are
required, be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, follow it.
Be careful not to damage the sliding surfaces and mating surfaces of parts.

ual.

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death

formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-

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 Procedures without Cowl Top CoverEJS0056V
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS0056W
WAR NIN G:
CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed a compressor
malfunction is likely to occur.
Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
If oil other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
–Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
–Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
–Do not allow oil (NISSAN A/C System Oil) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may
result.
