GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
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).Accelerator pedalCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.—
Clutch pedalMake sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free
play.MA-22
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to
keep floor mats away from the pedal.BR-6, "
Inspection and
Adjustment" and BR-19,
"On-board Inspection"
Parking brakeCheck that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.PB-4, "INSPECTION"
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the
selector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes.—
CVT P (Park) position
mechanismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes.— ItemReference page
ItemReference page
Windshield
washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant
levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.CO-8, "
LEVEL CHECK"
A/C condenser,
radiator and
hosesCheck the front of the condenser and radiator and clean off any dirt, insects,
leaves, etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no
cracks, deformation, deterioration or loose connections.—
Brake and clutch
fluid levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs.BR-9, "
CHECKING BRAKE
FLUID LEVEL" and MA-22,
"Checking Clutch Fluid
Level and Leaks"
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 fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltsMake 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 turning
off the engine.LU-5, "ENGINE OIL
LEVEL"
Automatic tran-
saxle fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.MA-20 and 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-20
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 substances,
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 nor-
mal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the
cause and correct it immediately.—
