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).
Seat belts
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-50, " SEAT BELT,

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Introduction of Periodic Maintenance INFOID:0000000004305184
Two different maintenance schedules are provi ded, 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/time intervals.
Schedule 1 INFOID:0000000004305185
Emission Control System Maintenance Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or r eplace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1
Follow 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 re- maining 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, using a camper or a car-top carrier. Emission Control Sys-
tem Maintenance MA-9 Chassis and Body

Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 2 if none of the driving conditions shown
in Schedule 1 apply to your driving habits. Emission Control Sys-

ontainer. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio INFOID:0000000004305189
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory wit h a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corr osion 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 soluti ons may damage the engine cooling system.

DRIVE BELT
DRIVE BELT : Checking INFOID:0000000004806005
• Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30 minutes after the engine is stopped.
• Visually check belts for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and edges.
• Turn crankshaft pulley two time clockwise, and make sure tension on all pulleys is equal before doing the test.
• When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
• Measure the belt tension and frequency with acous tic tension gauge at the ( ) marked point.
CAUTION:
• When the tension and frequency are measured, the acoustic tension gauge should be used.
• When checking immediately after installation, first ad just it to the specified value. Then, after turning
crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the sp ecified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
DRIVE BELT : Tension Adjustment INFOID:0000000004806006
CAUTION:
• When belt is replaced with new one, adjust belt tension to the value for “New belt”, because new belt
will not fully seat in the pulley groove.
• When tension of the belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to the value for “After adjusted”.
• When installing a belt, make sure it is correctly engaged with the pulley groove.
• Never allow oil or engine coolant to get on the belt.
• Never twist or bend the belt strongly.
1. Loosen the idler pulley lock nut (A) from the tightening position with the specified torque by 45 degrees.
