2015 Nissan Leaf Service & Maintenance Guide - Page 11

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS The following descriptions are provided to give you a better understanding of the scheduled maintenance items that should be regularly checked or replaced. The maintenance log indicates at which mileage/time intervals each item requires service. In addition to scheduled maintenance, your Nissan requires that some items be checked during normal day-to-day operation. You can find these items listed under "General Maintenance" in Chapter 8 of your Owner's Manual. Items marked with "*" are recommended by Nissan for reliable electric vehicle operation. You are not required to perform maintenance on these items in order to maintain the warranties which come with your Nissan. Other maintenance items and intervals are required. When applicable, additional information can be found in the "Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section in Chapter 8 of your Owner's Manual. NOTE: Nissan North America does not advocate the use of non-OEM approved aftermarket flushing systems and strongly advises against performing these services on a Nissan product. Many of the aftermarket flushing systems use non-OEM approved chemicals or solvents, the use of which has not been validated by Nissan North America. For recommended lubricants, fluids, grease, and refrigerant, refer to Chapter 9 in your Owner's Manual. EV Battery Usage Report To maximize the life of your Li-ion battery, have the EV Battery Usage Report generated and reviewed with you. Review of the EV Battery Usage Report is required as a condition of EV battery warranty. Refer to your 2015 LEAF warranty information booklet for details. Both the 12 month and 24 month inspections will be performed by your Nissan LEAF certified dealer at no cost to the vehicle owner. Coolant Replace coolant at the interval specified below. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue) or equivalent with the proper mixture. (Refer to the Owner's Manual to determine the proper mixture for your area.) The recommended service interval of the factory-fill coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15 years, whichever comes first. Subsequent replacement of Genuine 9 EV System Charging Port* Check the charging port for any signs of contamination, dust, sand, etc. Charging Port Sealing Cap* Use only compressed air with proper eye protection to clean any contamination from the sealing cap.
