REMOVAL

  1. Remove engine undercover. Refer to " «FRONT UNDER COVER: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675580-S30708354602014120500000) ".
  2. Remove wheel and tire (RH) using a power tool. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675581-S28220831532014120500000) ".
  3. Partially remove the fender protector (RH). Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675580-S35121108852014120500000) ".
  4. Loosen the lock nut and then release the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt.
  5. Remove the drive belt.

INSTALLATION

  1. Pull the idler pulley in the loosening direction, and then temporarily tighten the lock nut to the following torque. Lock nut (Temporary tightening): 4.4 N.m (0.45 kg-m, 39 in-lb) NOTE: Do not move the lock nut from the temporary tightened position. Go to step 2.
  2. Install the drive belt on each pulley. CAUTION: Check that there is no engine oil, grease, or engine coolant, etc. in pulley grooves. Check that the belt seats securely inside the groove on each pulley.
  3. Adjust drive belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to " «DRIVE BELT: ADJUSTMENT»(ref-675584-S28024570912014120500000) ". CAUTION: Perform the belt tension adjustment with the lock nut temporarily tightened to the torque specification listed in step 1 which prevents the idler pulley from tilting. When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
  4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification. Lock nut (Final tightening): 34.8 N.m (3.5 kg-m, 26 ft-lb)
  5. Check that belt tension is within the specification using suitable tool. Refer to " «DRIVE BELT»(ref-675577-S35610149322014120500000) ".

Scheme 21

Scheme 21: DRIVE BELT: Inspection
Scheme 21: DRIVE BELT: Inspection
  1. Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30 minutes after the engine is stopped.
  2. Visually check belt for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and edges.
  3. Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise twice, and check that the tension on all pulleys equalizes before testing.
  4. When measuring deflection, apply 98.1 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
  5. Measure the belt tension and frequency using suitable tool at the ( ) marked point.
CAUTIONWhen checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

Belt deflection/belt tension and frequency: Refer to " DRIVE BELT ".

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Note. Check that the air cleaner filter is securely placed in the air cleaner body.

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTIONDo not drop or shock the spark plug.
MakeNGK
Standard type (1)PLZKAR6A-11
Gap (nominal)1.1 mm (0.043 in)
(1) Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
(1)Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
CAUTIONAlways tighten the spark plug to specified torque to align the orientation of electrodes. The ground electrode of a genuine spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability by tightening to the specified torque. When replacing spark plugs, use genuine spark plugs of which the ground electrode is adjusted.

Note. The ground electrode of the spark plug is positioned in the area of maximum ignitability to improve combustion eficiency in the cylinder, reduce CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission and improve fuel economy.

CVT FLUID: Replacement

CVT fluid: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".

Fluid capacity: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".

CAUTIONUse only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) warranty. Always use shop paper. Never use shop cloth. Replace a drain plug gasket with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing. Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye. After replacement, always perform CVT fluid leakage check.

  1. Select "Data Monitor" in "TRANSMISSION" using CONSULT.
  2. Select "FLUID TEMP" and confirm that the CVT fluid temperature is 40°C (104°F) or less.
  3. Check that the selector lever is in the "P" position, then completely engage the parking brake.
  4. Lift up the vehicle.
  5. Remove the drain plug and overflow tube and drain the CVT fluid from the oil pan. " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675588-S01678992322014120500000) ".
  6. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain hole. CAUTION: Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
  7. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION: Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging pipe until it stops.
  8. Fill approximately 3 liter (2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
  9. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install the drain plug. NOTE: Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.
  10. Lift down the vehicle.
  11. Start the engine.
  12. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from "P" to "L", and shift it to the "P" position. NOTE: Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
  13. Check that the CONSULT "Data monitor" in "FLUID TEMP" is 35°C (95°F) to 45°C (113°F).
