GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Explanation of General Maintenance INFOID:0000000008745191
General maintenance includes those items which should 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.

Doors and motor hood Check that all doors and the hood operate smoothly as well as the back door. Also
make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. 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 for lubrica-
tion frequently.

Lights Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and other

Wheel alignment and
balance
If 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.
