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 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
Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) trans-
mitter componentsReplace 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 should pull 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
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing 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-49
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. —

Warning lamps and
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. 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

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000005931131
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 1INFOID:0000000005931132
Emission Control System Maintenance
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or r eplace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
Schedule 1Follow 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-

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
1. Turn blower control dial clockwise to "1" position. Blower should operate on low speed.
2. Turn blower control dial clockwise to "2" position, and continue checking blower speed until all speeds are
checked.
3. Leave blower on Maximum speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-34, "
Front Blower Motor Circuit".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Turn mode door control dial to each position.
2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distribution table. Refer to MTC-20, "
Discharge
Air Flow".
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-32, "
Mode Door".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Set intake door lever to REC position.
2. Operate intake door lever to FRE position.
3. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower sound change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-34, "
Intake Door".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial counterclockwise to full cold position.
2. Check for cold air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-46, "
Insufficient Cooling".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Turn temperature control dial clockwise to full hot position.
2. Check for hot air at discharge air outlets.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-53, "
Insufficient Heating".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Press A/C switch.
3. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.
• Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-38, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)".
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DEFROST A/C SWITCH (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn fan control dial to the desired (1 to 4 speed) position.
2. Turn mode dial to ( ) DEF.
3. Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual inspection) and the A/C switch indicator illu- minates.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-38, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit (If Equipped)".
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go to MTC-23, "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as outlined. If symptom appears, refer to MTC-23,
"How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform applicable trouble diagnosis
procedures.
