Engine coolant level* :
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. Make
sure that the coolant level is between the MAX and
MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine drive belt(s)*:

Make sure that drive belt(s) is not frayed, worn,
cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*:
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
Check the level after parking the vehicle (on a level
ground) and turning off the engine.
Fluid leaks:
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid
leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a while.

normal. If you should notice any leaks or if fuel fumes
are evident, check for cause and have it corrected
immediately.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

When performing any inspection or maintenance work
on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious
accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle.
The following are general precautions which should be
closely observed.
WARNING:
. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. Move
the shift lever to the “P” (Park) position.
. Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or
“LOCK” position when performing any parts
replacement or repairs.
. Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Always turn off the engine
and wait until it cools down.
. If you must work with the engine running,
keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools
away from moving fans, belts and any other
moving parts.
. It is advisable to secure or remove any loose
clothing and any jewelry, such as rings,
watches, etc. before working on your vehi-
cle.
. If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape.
. Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported by a jack.
. Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and the battery.
. Never connect or disconnect either the
battery or any transistorized component
connector while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
. On gasoline engine models with the Multi-
port Fuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuel
filter and fuel lines should be serviced by a
NISSAN dealer because the fuel lines are
under high pressure even when the engine is
turned off.
. Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
engine cooling fan. It may come on at any
time without warning, even if the ignition
switch is in the “OFF” position and the
engine is not running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery cable before
working near the fan.
. Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
. Never leave the engine or the transmission
related component harness connector dis-
connected while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
. Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,
engine coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids
can hurt the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluids.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
provides instructions regarding only those items which
are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-
cessive emissions, and could affect your warranty
coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by a NISSAN dealer.
