Your new NISSAN has been designed to
have minimum maintenance requirements
with longer service intervals to save you
both time and money. However, some day-
to-day and regular maintenance is essential
to maintain your NISSAN’s good mechani-
cal condition, as well as its emission and
engine performance.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure
that the specified maintenance, as well as
general maintenance, is performed.
As the vehicle owner, you are the only one
who can ensure that your vehicle receives
the proper maintenance care. You are a
vital link in the maintenance chain.
General maintenance
General maintenance includes those items
which should be checked during normal
day-to-day operation of the vehicle. They
are essential if your vehicle is to continue to
operate properly. It is your responsibility to
perform these procedures regularly as pre-
scribed.
These checks or inspections can be done
by yourself, a qualified technician or, if you
prefer, your NISSAN dealer.
Periodic maintenance
The maintenance items listed in this section
are required to be serviced at regular inter-
vals.
However, under severe driving conditions,
additional or more frequent maintenance
will be required.
Where to go for service
If maintenance service is required or your
vehicle appears to malfunction, have the
systems checked and tuned by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.
NISSAN technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information through technical
bulletins, service tips, and in-dealership
training programs. They are completely
qualified to work on NISSAN’s vehicles
before they work on your vehicle, rather
than after they have worked on it.
You can be confident that your NISSAN
dealer’s service department performs the
best job to meet the maintenance require-
ments on your vehicle — in a reliable and
economic way.
During the normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle, general maintenance should be
performed regularly as prescribed in this
section. If you detect any unusual sounds,
vibrations or smells, be sure to check for the
cause or have your NISSAN dealer do it
promptly. In addition, you should notify your
NISSAN dealer if you think that repairs are
required.
When performing any checks or mainte-
nance work, closely observe the precau-
tions in the ‘‘Do-it-yourself operations’’ sec-
tion.
