MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT GUID-EAFB773F-D5EB-4684-B3F0-B9FA45A29234 GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUID-8F3738AF-0883-4A7F-889B-D24A59170763 Some day-to-day and regular maintenance is essential to maintain your NISSAN's fine mechanical condition, as well as its emission and engine performance. It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that the scheduled 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. These checks or inspections can be done by yourself, a qualified technician or, if you prefer, a NISSAN dealer. WHERE TO GUID-D99C619B-41EA-47A0-BF14-026F6316F4E9 GO FOR SERVICE If maintenance service is required or your vehicle appears to malfunction, have the systems checked and serviced by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up-to-date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in-dealership information systems. They are completely qualified to work on NISSAN vehicles before work begins. You can be confident that a NISSAN dealer's service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance requirements on your vehicle. 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 smell, be sure to check for the cause or have a NISSAN dealer do it promptly. In addition, you should notify a NISSAN dealer if you think that repairs are required. When performing any checks or maintenance work, see "Maintenance precautions" (P.8-5).
