This Nissan vehicle has been designed to have minimal maintenance requirements and longer service intervals to save the owner time and money. However, to maintain the vehicle in good technical condition, including the engine and its electronic control system, it is important to perform certain general and periodic maintenance.
Responsibility for general and periodic maintenance lies with the owner. Only the owner of the car can ensure timely and appropriate maintenance and care. It should be remembered that the owner's participation in organizing the entire complex of car maintenance is absolutely necessary.
General maintenance
General maintenance refers to those components that need to be checked daily during vehicle operation to maintain the vehicle in good technical condition. The owner is responsible for performing routine maintenance procedures.
General vehicle maintenance can be performed by the owner, a qualified technician, or a Nissan dealer.
Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance concerns those components that require attention at regular intervals.
If the machine is used excessively, additional or more frequent maintenance may be required than recommended.
Location of maintenance
For maintenance or if your vehicle is experiencing problems, please contact an authorized Nissan dealer. Only a Nissan dealer can check and adjust all components of your vehicle.
Nissan's technical specialists are highly qualified and experienced, and are kept abreast of all technical developments and improvements through regular and timely receipt of information and refresher courses.
Nissan ensures that your Nissan dealership can provide the service you require in the best possible, reliable and cost-effective manner.
During daily use of your vehicle, it is important to perform routine maintenance as described in this section. If you notice any unusual noises, vibrations or odors, be sure to investigate the cause or contact your Nissan dealer immediately. If you believe your vehicle requires repair, you should notify your Nissan dealer.
When carrying out inspections or maintenance work, carefully follow the instructions given in this chapter.
Outside the car
Below are the components that require weekly maintenance unless otherwise noted.
Tires. Check your tire pressure (including spare) pressure gauge, for example at service stations, and adjust it to the specified value if necessary. Inspect carefully for signs of damage, cuts and excessive wear.
Windscreen wiper blades. Inspect for cracks or wear if they begin to perform poorly.
Doors and hood. Make sure all doors, engine hood, trunk and tailgate work properly and all locks lock properly. Lubricate them as needed. Check that the second engine hood lock prevents the hood from opening after the first lock is released.
Check the lubricant more frequently when driving on roads treated with road salt or other chemicals.
Tire rotation. The tires need to be rotated (together with wheels) every 10,000 km.
Inside the car
The components listed below should be checked during maintenance such as washing the vehicle, scheduled maintenance, etc.
Lighting. Make sure that your headlights, brake lights, taillights, turn signals and other lights are securely fastened and working properly. Don't forget to check the direction of your headlights.
Control lights and buzzers. Make sure all indicator lights and buzzers are working properly.
Steering wheel. Watch for steering wheel abnormalities such as excessive play, stiffness, or unusual noise.
Seat belts. Make sure that all seat belt parts (buckles, fasteners, adjusters and reels) are securely fastened and operate correctly and without failure. Check the belt webbing for cuts, abrasions and damage.
Under the hood and body
Below are items that should be checked, for example, in conjunction with checking the engine oil level or filling with fuel.
Windscreen wiper fluid. Make sure there is always enough liquid in the tank.
Coolant level. Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine oil level. Check the oil level after stopping the car on a level surface and with the engine turned off.
Brake and clutch fluid level. Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level in the reservoir is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks.
Battery. Check the electrolyte level in each element. It should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks.
