Do not use a wire brush for cleaning.
• Checking and adjusting spark plug gap is not required between change intervals. Do not adjust the gap; replace the spark plug as
necessary if out of specification.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock the spark plug.
*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
CAUTION:
Always tighten the spark plug to specified torque to align the orie ntation of electrodes. The ground
electrode of a genuine spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability by tightening to the
specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark pl ugs of which the ground electrode
is adjusted.

CVT FLUID : AdjustmentINFOID:0000000012432269
CAUTION:
• Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN
CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) war-
ranty.
• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CO NSULT so that the oil temperature may be main-
tained from 35 to 45 °C (95 to 113 °F).

7. Remove the drain plug. Refer to TM-242, "
Removal and Installation".
8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain plug hole.
CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging
pipe until it stops.

WHEELS : AdjustmentINFOID:0000000012432277
BALANCING WHEELS (ADHESIVE WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Remove inner and outer balance weights from the wheel and tire. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced
adhesive tape from the wheel and tire.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the wheel and tire during removal.
• After removing double-faced adh esive tape, wipe clean all traces of releasing agent from the wheel
and tire.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during tire removal/installa-
tion or balancing or damage to the wheel paint, cladding or chrome may result. Use only rim-type or
universal lug-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during servicing.
• If a balancer machine has an adhesive weight mode se tting, select the adhesive weight mode setting and
skip Step 2 below. If a balancer machine only has the clip -on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow Step 2
to calculate the correct size adhesive weight.
1. Set wheel and tire on balancer machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the balancer machine. Oil capacity

TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.Refer to MA-7, "
Introduction of Periodic Maintenance".
• Rotate the wheel and tires front to back in the pattern as shown.
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque.
WARNING:
• After rotating the tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.
• Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven
for 1,000 km (600 mi) (also in case of a flat tire, etc.).
• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, ti ghten them diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order to
prevent the wheels from d eveloping any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten the wh eel nuts to a torque exceeding speci fication to prevent strain on the
disc rotor.
• Use Genuine NISSAN wheel nuts.
• Perform the ID registration after tire rotation. Refer to WT-22, "
Work Procedure".
