NISSAN MAINTENANCE Maintain Your Investment Preventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of your Nissan. Scheduling your electric vehicle’s maintenance at the recommended intervals will ensure your electric vehicle functions at its best. We want you to enjoy your Nissan electric vehicle.
WHY NISSAN SERVICE?* To preserve the quality, reliability and safety of your electric vehicle, an authorized Nissan LEAF certified dealer is recommended for maintenance or repair.
EXTENDED SERVICE PLANS* If someone told you, you could drive your new Nissan for the next 8 years or 120,000 miles, almost worry-free of unexpected repair costs, would you be interested? Nissan’s “Security+Plus” family of extended service contracts delivers the peace of mind that does just that.
GENUINE NISSAN COLLISION PARTS If you have an accident, insist on Genuine Nissan Collision Parts. If you want your electric vehicle to be restored using parts made to Nissan’s original exacting specifications – if you want it to last, help to protect your personal safety and to help hold its resale value, the solution is simple. Tell your insurance agent and your repair shop to use only Genuine Nissan Collision Parts.
DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL As a condition of your electric vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your electric vehicle. In maintaining your electric vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
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.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue) should occur every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 5 years whichever comes first. NOTE: Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the recommended service interval of the coolant. Chassis and Body Maintenance: Brake Lines and Cables Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration, and signs of leaking.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 10 The following Maintenance Schedule has been compiled by Nissan to assist you in performing the recommended maintenance services and keeping appropriate records of services performed. Along with the related repair invoices, receipts, and other such records, a properly documented maintenance history could enhance the value of your electric vehicle should you ever wish to sell it.
