checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do 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 including the spare, at least once a month and always prior
to a long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check care-
fully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.WT-25, "
Tire"
Wheel nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary.WT-6, "Rotation"
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.—

replacement by reaching wear limit of tire.WT-7
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 bal-
ancing may be needed.FSU-6, "Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" and
WT-6, "
Balancing
Wheels"
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 trunk
lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if nec-
essary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrica-
tion frequently.MA-27, "

saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid" .
Balancing WheelsINFOID:0000000001704749
Adjust wheel balance using road wheel center.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
• Use clip-on type wheel balance weights only.

RotationINFOID:0000000001704750
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6
.
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000001704751
• If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.Drain plug: Refer to AT-230, "
Component" .
Fluid grade and capacity: Refer to MA-10
.
