2016 NISSAN ROGUE air condition

Steering wheelCheck for changes in the steer-
ing system, such as excessive freeplay, hard
steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes Make sure all
warning lights 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 conditioner.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time you
check the engine oil or refuel) .
Battery* (for serviceable batteries) Check
the fluid level in each cell. It should be between
the MAX and MIN lines. Vehicles operated in high
temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the battery fluid level.
(for non-serviceable batteries) If low battery
fluid is suspected, see a NISSAN dealer. NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic ac-
cessories that consume battery power when the
engine is not running (Phone chargers, GPS,
DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven
short distances. In these cases, the battery may
need to be charged to maintain battery health.
Brake fluid level*
Make sure that the brake fluid
level is between the MIN and MAX lines on the
reservoir.
Engine coolant level* Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts* Make sure the drive belts
are not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level* Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level surface with the engine off.
Wait more than 10 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system Make sure there are no loose
supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of
exhaust fumes, immediately have the exhaust
system inspected. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. For additional
information, refer to “Exhaust Gas (carbon mon-
oxide)” in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Fluid leaks
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil,
water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the
air conditioner after use is normal. If you should
notice any leaks or if gasoline fumes are evident,
check for the cause and have it corrected imme-
diately.
Radiator and hoses Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the
hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or loose
connections.
Underbody The underbody is frequently ex-
posed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these substances from the
underbody, otherwise rust may form on the floor
pan, frame, fuel lines and exhaust system. At the
end of winter, the underbody should be thor-
oughly flushed with plain water, in those areas
where mud and dirt may have accumulated. For
additional information, refer to “Appearance and
care” section of this manual.
Windshield-washer fluid* Check that there is
adequate fluid in the reservoir.

able vent caps.
JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, refer to “Jump start-
ing” in the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual. If the engine does not start by jump
starting, the battery may have to be replaced. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

8-16Maintenance and do-it-yourself

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, NISSAN recommends the use of
SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on all four
wheels.
Snow tires
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select
tires equivalent in size and load rating to the
original equipment tires. If you do not, it can
adversely affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
Generally, snow tires have lower speed ratings
than factory equipped tires and may not match
the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never ex-
ceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.
If you install snow tires, they must be the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all
four wheels.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires
may be used. However, some U.S. states and
Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check
local, state and provincial laws before installing
studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
Run–Flat Tires (if so equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires and is
not equipped with a spare tire, or a jack and toolkit. The jack and tool kit may be purchased at the
dealer. Please consult a NISSAN dealer for addi-
tional information. You can continue driving to a
safe location even if the run-flat tires are punc-
tured. Always use run-flat tires of the specified
size on all four wheels. Mixing tire sizes or con-
struction may reduce vehicle handling stability. If
necessary, contact a NISSAN dealer for assis-
tance.
Frequently check the tire pressure and adjust
pressure of each tire properly. The tire pressure
can be also checked in the vehicle information
display.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-
inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as de-
scribed in this section. If the tire becomes under-
inflated while driving, the low tire pressure
warning light will illuminate and the “Tire Pressure
Low- Add Air” warning appears in the vehicle
information display. If the tire becomes flat while
driving, the low tire pressure warning light and the
“Flat Tire- Visit Dealer
warning will appear.
Low tire pressure:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the low tire pressure warning light will illu-
minate and the Tire Pressure Low - Add Air
warning appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. Flat tire:
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the low tire pressure warning light will illu-
minate continuously and a chime will sound for
10 seconds. A “Flat-Tire- Visit Dealer
warning
also appears in the vehicle information display.
The chime will only sound at the first indication of
a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate
continuously. When the flat tire warning is acti-
vated, have the system reset and the tire checked
and replaced if necessary by a NISSAN dealer.
Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD
tire pressure, the warning light will continue to
illuminate until the system is reset by a NISSAN
dealer.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates
continuously and the “Flat Tire- Visit Dealer
warning appears in the vehicle information dis-
play:
● Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Increase your following distance to allow for
increased stopping distances.
● Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering
and hard braking.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-39

WARNING
●Although you can continue driving with
a punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and
personal injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may damage the
tire.
● Do not drive at speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
approximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat
tire depends on outside temperature,
vehicle load, read conditions and other
factors.
● Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid
hard cornering or braking, which may
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
● If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. The tire may be seri-
ously damaged and need to be
replaced.
CAUTION
● Never install tire chains on a punctured
run-flat tire, as this could damage your
vehicle.
● Avoid driving over any projection or pot-
hole, as the clearance between the ve-
hicle and the ground is smaller than
normal.
● Do not enter an automated car wash
with a punctured run-flat tire.
● Have the punctured tire inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or other authorized re-
pair shop. Replace the tire as soon as
possible if the tire is seriously
damaged.
● Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted
or radial) , and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may result in a
circumference difference between tires
on the front and rear axles which will
cause excessive tire wear and may dam-
age the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears (AWD models) .
● ONLY use spare tires specified for the
AWD model. ●
If excessive tire wear is found, it is rec-
ommended that all four tires be re-
placed with tires of the same size,
brand, construction and tread pattern.
The tire pressure and wheel alignment
should also be checked and corrected
as necessary. Contact a NISSAN dealer.
TIRE CHAINS
Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to
location. Check the local laws before installing
tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure
they are the proper size for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE
class “S” chains. Class “S” chains are used on
vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance.
Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are de-
signed to meet the minimum clearances between
the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or
body component required to accommodate the
use of a winter traction device (tire chains or
cables) . The minimum clearances are determined
using the factory equipped tire size. Other types
may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners
when recommended by the tire chain manufac-
turer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the
tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent
the possibility of whipping action damage to the
fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully load-

Technical and consumer information9-3

Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
to select the engine oil viscosity based on the
temperatures at which the vehicle will be oper-
ated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil
viscosity other than that recommended could
cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a
high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN oil filter or its
equivalent for the reason described in “Change
intervals.”
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters
that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding
recommended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine
caused by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not
covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change
the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.
Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:
● repeated short distance driving at cold out-
side temperatures
● driving in dusty conditions
● extensive idling
● towing a trailer
● stop and go commuting
For additional information, refer to “NISSAN Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide” for the mainte-
nance schedule.
AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) and NISSAN A/C
system oil Type ND-OIL8 or the exact
equivalents.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will
cause severe damage to the air condition-
ing system and will require the replace-
ment of all air conditioner system
components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the
earth’s atmosphere, certain government regula-
tions require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air conditioner sys-
tem service. A NISSAN dealer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system refriger-
ant.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
when servicing your air conditioner system.
