DRIVE BELT: Adjustment
| Location | Location of adjuster and tightening method |
|---|---|
| Drive belt | Adjusting bolt on idler pulley |
| CAUTION | When belt is replaced with new one, adjust belt tension to the value for "New belt," because new belt will not fully seat in the pulley groove. When tension of the belt being used exceeds "Limit," adjust it to the value for "After adjusted." When installing a belt, check it is correctly engaged with the pulley groove. Do not allow oil or engine coolant to get on the belt. Do not twist or bend the belt strongly. |
Scheme 1
- Remove the fender protector (RH) front side clip. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-605937-S06682139002014032500000) ".
- Tighten lock nut (A) temporarily to the following torque. Lock nut (A) (Temporary tightening): 4.4 N.m (0.45 kg-m, 39 in-lb)
- Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to " «DRIVE BELT»(ref-605933-S37284657392014032500000) ". CAUTION: 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. When the tension adjustment is performed, the lock nut should be in the condition at Step 2 . If the tension adjustment is performed when the lock nut is loosened more than the temporary tightening, the idler pulley tilts and the correct tension adjustment cannot be performed.
- Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification. Lock nut (Final tightening): 34.8 N.m (3.5 kg-m, 26 ft-lb)
CVT FLUID: Adjustment
CVT fluid: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".
Fluid capacity: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".
| CAUTION | Use 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. During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CONSULT so that the oil temperature may be maintained from 35 to 45°C (95 to 113°F). Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye. |
- Check that the selector lever is in the "P" position, then completely engage the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40°C (104°F). NOTE: The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the "FLUID TEMP" under "TRANSMISSION" in "Data Monitor" while adjusting.
- 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.
- Lift up the vehicle.
- Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
- Remove the drain plug. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-605943-S02556073342014032500000) ".
- Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain plug hole. CAUTION: Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
- 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.
- Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 US qt, 1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
- Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it does not drain out, perform charging again. CAUTION: Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
- When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan.
- Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-605943-S02556073342014032500000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse drain plug gasket.
- Lift down the vehicle.
- Stop the engine.
A/T FLUID: Adjustment
A/T fluid: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".
Fluid capacity: Refer to " GENERAL SPECIFICATION ".
| CAUTION | Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Never mix with other ATF. Using ATF other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF will cause deterioration driveability and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty. During adjusting of the ATF level, check CONSULT so that the fluid temperature may be maintained from 35 to 45°C (95 to 113°F). Use caution when looking into the drain hole as there is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye. |
- Check that the selector lever is in the "P" position, then completely engage the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Adjust the ATF to be approximately 40°C (104°F). NOTE: The ATF is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the "FLUID TEMP" under "TRANSMISSION" in "Data Monitor" while adjusting.
- While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from "P" to "1", and shift it to the "P" position. NOTE: Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
- Lift up the vehicle.
- Check that there is no ATF leakage.
- Remove the drain plug. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-605946-S18934655682014032500000) ".
- Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain plug hole. CAUTION: Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
- 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.
- Fill approximately 0.5 liters (1/2 US qt, 1/2 lmp qt) of the ATF.
- Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and check that the ATF drains out from the charging pipe. If it does not drain out, perform charging again. CAUTION: Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
- When the flow of ATF slows to a drip, disconnect the charging pipe from the oil pan.
- Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-605946-S18934655682014032500000) ". CAUTION: Never reuse drain plug gasket.
- Lift down the vehicle.
