GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Explanation of Gene ral MaintenanceINFOID:0000000005394793
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000005394794
General maintenance includes those items which shoul d be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
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.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the specified pressure.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. WT-28
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary. WT-7
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.
—
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). WT-7
Transmitter compo-
nents in tire pressure
monitoring system
(TPMS)Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age.
WT-9
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-7
and
WT-7
Windshield wiper
blades Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
—
Doors and engine
hood Check 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-48
Lamps
Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and oth-
er lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp
aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. —
Item
Reference page
Warning lamps and
buzzers/chimes Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly.
—
Windshield wiper and
washer Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.
—
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioning. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steering
condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in) —
Seats Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches
lock securely for folding-down rear seat backs. —

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000005397074
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre- oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.
