PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and economical driving, NISSAN provides two periodic maintenance schedules that may be used, depending upon the conditions in which you usually drive. These schedules contain both distance and time intervals, up to 60,000 miles (96,000 km)/48 months. For most people, the odometer reading indicates when service is needed. However, if you drive very little, your vehicle should be serviced at the regular time intervals shown in the schedules. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km)/48 months, continue periodic maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals. ● Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use. ● Driving in dusty conditions. ● Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads. ● Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier. SCHEDULE 2 Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule Two if none of the driving conditions shown in Schedule One apply to your driving habits. SCHEDULE 1 Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule One if your driving habits frequently include one or more of the following driving conditions: ● Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km). ● Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures below freezing. ● Operating the vehicle in hot weather during stop-and-go ''rush hour'' traffic.
