Nissan Versa (2024 year). Manual in english

NOTE:

NISSAN does not advocate the use of
non-OEM approved aftermarket flushing
systems and strongly advises against per-
forming these services on a NISSAN prod-
uct. Many of the aftermarket flushing sys-
tems use non-OEM approved chemicals or
solvents, the use of which has not been
validated by NISSAN.

For recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids,
grease, and refrigerant, see “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capaci-
ties” (P. 10-2).

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE:

Air cleaner filter:

Replace at specified in-

tervals. When driving for prolonged periods
in dusty conditions, check/replace the filter
more frequently.

Engine coolant*:

Replace coolant at the

specified interval. When adding or replac-
ing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)
or equivalent with the proper mixture. For
additional information on the proper mix-
ture for your area, see “Engine cooling sys-
tem” (P. 8-4).

NOTE: Mixing any other type of coolant
or the use of non-distilled water may re-
duce the recommended service interval
of the coolant.

Engine Drive belts*:

Check engine drive

belts for wear, fraying or cracking and for
proper tension. Replace any damaged
drive belts.

Engine oil and oil filter:

Replace engine oil

and oil filter at the specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity see
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and ca-
pacities” (P. 10-2).

Fuel lines*:

Check the fuel hoses, piping

and connections for leaks, looseness, or
deterioration. Tighten connections or re-
place parts as necessary.

Spark plugs:

Replace at specified intervals.

Install new plugs of the type as originally
equipped.

CHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCE:

Brake lines and cables:

Visually inspect

for proper installation. Check for chafing,
cracks, deterioration, and signs of leaking.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged
parts immediately.

Brake pads, rotors, drums and linings:

Check for wear, deterioration and fluid
leaks. Replace any deteriorated or dam-
aged parts immediately.

Exhaust system:

Visually inspect the ex-

haust pipes, muffler and hangers for leaks,
cracks, deterioration, and damage. Tighten
connections or replace parts as necessary.

Steering gear and linkage, axle and sus-
pension parts, drive shaft boots:

Check

for damage, looseness, and leakage of oil
or grease. Under severe driving conditions,
inspect more frequently.

Tire rotation:

Rotate tires at the specified

interval shown in the maintenance sched-
ule. When rotating tires, check for damage
and uneven wear. Replace if necessary.

Transmission fluid/oil:

Visually inspect for

signs of leakage at specified intervals.

If using a car-top carrier, or towing a trailer,
or using a camper, or driving on rough or
muddy roads:
• Replace the transmission gear oil every

20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.

• Replace the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles

(48,000 km). CVT fluid replacement is
based on mileage only.

Maintenance and schedules

To help ensure smooth, safe and economi-
cal driving, NISSAN provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, de-
pending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain
both distance and time intervals, up to
120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96 months. For
most people, the odometer reading will in-
dicate when service is needed. However,
if you drive very little, your vehicle should
be serviced at the regular time intervals
shown in the schedule.

After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96
months, continue maintenance at the
same mileage/time intervals.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE
ITEMS FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS

Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditions

should be per-

formed on vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions. Addi-
tional

maintenance

items

should

performed if you primarily operate your
vehicle under the following conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles

(8 km).

• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles

(16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.

• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go

“rush hour” traffic.

• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving

for long distances, such as police, taxi or
door-to-door delivery use.

• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Driving on rough, muddy or salt spread

roads.

• Using a car-top carrier.

If your vehicle is mainly operated under the
severe conditions, follow the severe use
maintenance intervals shown in the main-
tenance schedule.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).

CAUTION

•

Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door
label can operate on E-85. Fuel sys-
tem or other damage can occur if
E-85 is used in vehicles that are not
designed to run on E-85.

•

Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect
the warranty coverage.

•

Under no circumstances should a
leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.

•

Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your
vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed
to run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15
or E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifi-
cally designed for E-15 or E-85 fuel
can adversely affect the emission
control devices and systems of the
vehicle. Damage caused by such fuel
is not covered by the NISSAN New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.

•

Do not use fuel that contains the oc-
tane booster methylcyclopentadi-
enyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
Using fuel containing MMT may ad-
versely affect vehicle performance
and vehicle emissions. Not all fuel
dispensers are labeled to indicate
MMT content, so you may have to
consult your gasoline retailer for
more details. Note that Federal and
California laws prohibit the use of
MMT in reformulated gasoline.

•

U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common ab-
breviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.

Gasoline specifications

NISSAN recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
specifications where it is available. Many of
the automobile manufacturers developed
this specification to improve emission
control system and vehicle performance.
Ask your service station manager if the
gasoline meets the WWFC specifications.

Reformulated gasoline

Some fuel suppliers are now producing re-
formulated gasolines. These gasolines are
specially designed to reduce vehicle emis-
sions. NISSAN supports efforts towards
cleaner air and suggests that you use re-
formulated gasoline when available.

Gasoline containing oxygenates

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-
ing oxygenates such as ethanol, Methyl
Tert-butyl Ether (MTBE) and methanol with
or without advertising their presence.
NISSAN does not recommend the use of
fuels of which the oxygenate content and
the fuel compatibility for your NISSAN can-
not be readily determined. If in doubt, ask
your service station manager.

you

use

oxygenate-blend

gasoline,

please take the following precautions as
the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle
performance problems and/or fuel system
damage.
•

The fuel should be unleaded and have
an octane rating no lower than that
recommended for unleaded gasoline.

10-4

Technical and consumer information

•

oxygenate-blend

other

than

methanol blend is used, it should con-
tain no more than 10% oxygenate. (MTBE
may, however, be added up to 15%)

•

E-15 fuel contains more than 10% oxy-
genate. E-15 fuel will adversely affect
the emission control devices and sys-
tems of the vehicle and should not be
used. Damage caused by such fuel is
not covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

•

If a methanol blend is used, it should
contain no more than 5% methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). It should
also contain a suitable amount of appro-
priate cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-
tors. If not properly formulated with
appropriate cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors, such methanol blends may
cause fuel system damage and/or ve-
hicle performance problems. At this
time, sufficient data is not available to
ensure that all methanol blends are suit-
able for use in NISSAN vehicles.

If any driveability problems such as engine
stalling and difficult hot-starting are expe-
rienced after using oxygenate-blend fuels,
immediately change to a non-oxygenate
fuel or a fuel with a low blend of MTBE.

Take care not to spill gasoline during re-
fueling. Gasoline containing oxygenates
can cause paint damage.

E–15 fuel

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15%
fuel ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline.
E-15 can only be used in vehicles designed
to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-15 in your
vehicle. U.S. government regulations re-
quire fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified with small, square, orange and
black label with the common abbreviation
or the appropriate percentage for that
region.

E–85 fuel

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85%
fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
E-85 can only be used in a Flexible Fuel
Vehicle (FFV). Do not use E-85 in your ve-
hicle. U.S. government regulations require
fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be iden-
tified by a small, square, orange and black
label with the common abbreviation or the
appropriate percentage for that region.

Fuel containing MMT

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manga-
nese tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting ad-
ditive. NISSAN does not recommend the
use of fuel containing MMT. Such fuel may
adversely affect vehicle performance, in-
cluding the emissions control system.
Note that while some fuel pumps label
MMT content, not all do, so you may have to
consult your gasoline retailer for more
details.

Aftermarket fuel additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve
deposit removers, etc.) which are sold com-
mercially. Many of these additives intended
for gum, varnish or deposit removal may
contain active solvents or similar ingredi-
ents that can be harmful to the fuel system
and engine.

Technical and consumer information

10-5

Octane rating tips

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended can
cause persistent, heavy “spark knock.”
(“Spark knock” is a metallic rapping
noise.) If severe, this can lead to engine
damage. If you detect a persistent heavy
spark knock even when using gasoline
of the stated octane rating, or if you hear
steady spark knock while holding a
steady speed on level roads, it is recom-
mended that you have a NISSAN dealer
correct the condition. Failure to correct
the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for
which NISSAN is not responsible.

Incorrect ignition timing may result in
spark knock, after-run and/or overheating,
which may cause excessive fuel consump-
tion or engine damage. If any of the above
symptoms are encountered, have your ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for servicing.

However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not
a cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS

Selecting the correct oil

It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance.
For additional information, see “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
(P. 10-2). NISSAN recommends the use of an
energy conserving oil in order to improve
fuel economy.

Select only engine oils that meet the
American Petroleum Institute (API) certifi-
cation or International Lubricant Standard-
ization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
certification and SAE viscosity standard.
These oils have the API certification mark
on the front of the container. Oils which do
not have the specified quality label should
not be used as they could cause engine
damage.

LTI2587

10-6

Technical and consumer information

Oil additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used
and maintenance intervals are followed.

Oil which may contain foreign matter or
has been previously used should not be
used.

Oil viscosity

The engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important to select the engine oil
viscosity based on the temperatures at
which the vehicle will be operated before
the next oil change. Choosing an oil viscos-
ity other than that recommended could
cause serious engine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter

Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a
high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN oil filter or
its equivalent for the reason described in
“Change intervals.”

Change intervals

The oil and oil filter change intervals for
your engine are based on the use of the
specified quality oils and filters. Using en-
gine oil and filters that are not of the speci-
fied quality, or exceeding recommended oil
and filter change intervals could reduce
engine life. Damage to the engine caused
by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is
not covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Your engine was filled with a high-quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not have
to change the oil before the first recom-
mended change interval. Oil and filter
change intervals depend upon how you
use your vehicle.

Operation under the following conditions
may require more frequent oil and filter
changes:
• repeated short distance driving at cold

outside temperatures

• driving in dusty conditions
• extensive idling
• stop and go commuting

For additional information, refer to the
“Maintenance and schedules” section of
this manual.

Technical and consumer information

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioner system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) and
NISSAN A/C system oil Type PAG (YR20
oil) or the exact equivalents.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner
system components.

The refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in
your NISSAN vehicle does not harm the
earth's ozone layer. Although this refriger-
ant does not affect the earth's atmo-
sphere, certain government regulations re-
quire the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioner system service. Air conditioner sys-
tem should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to ensure proper and

safe operation (SAE J2845). A NISSAN dealer
has the trained technicians and equip-
ment needed to recover and recycle your
air conditioner system refrigerant. Only
new and SAEJ2842 certified evaporator(s)
shall be used as replacement parts.

A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle. To replace a damaged
or leaking evaporator, use only new and
SAE J2842 certified evaporator(s). It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
when servicing your air conditioner system.

Technical and consumer information

When planning to drive your NISSAN ve-
hicle in another country,

you should first

find out if the fuel available is suitable for
your vehicle's engine.

Using fuel with an octane rating that is too
low may cause engine damage. All gaso-
line vehicles must be operated with un-
leaded gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking
your vehicle to areas where appropriate
fuel is not available.

When transferring the registration of
your vehicle to another country, state,
province or district,

it may be necessary

to modify the vehicle to meet local laws
and regulations.

The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards
vary according to the country, state, prov-
ince or district; therefore, vehicle specifica-
tions may differ.

When any vehicle is to be taken into an-
other country, state, province or district
and registered, its modifications, trans-
portation and registration are the re-
sponsibility of the user. NISSAN is not
responsible for any inconvenience that
may result.

of all occupants, then add the total
cargo weight. Examples are shown
in the following illustration.

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit

LTI2335

Example

10-16

Technical and consumer information

1. Locate the statement “The com-

bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.

2. Determine the combined weight

of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the “XXX” amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150
lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 X 150) = 650 lbs.)

5. Determine the combined weight

luggage

and

cargo

being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a

trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Con-
sult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.

Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is
not intended for towing may result in
an accident involving injury or death.

WARNING

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
Towing a trailer may result in an acci-
dent involving injury or death.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, see “Measure-
ment of weights” (P. 10-18).

Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label” (P. 8-29).

LOADING TIPS

• The GVW must not exceed GVWR or

GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

• Do not load the front and rear axle

to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed
the GVWR.

WARNING

•

Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.

•

Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum

front

and

rear

GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage
could occur, or it can change
the way your vehicle handles.
This could result in loss of con-
trol and cause personal injury.

•

Overloading

not

only

can

shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tire, but can also cause
unsafe vehicle handling and
longer braking distances. This
may cause a premature tire
failure which could result in a
serious accident and personal
injury. Failures caused by over-
loading are not covered by the
vehicle’s warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure

loose

items

prevent

weight shifts that could affect the
balance of your vehicle. When the ve-
hicle is loaded, drive to a scale and
weigh the front and the rear wheels
separately to determine axle loads.
Individual axle loads should not ex-
ceed either of the Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle
loads should not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These
ratings are given on the vehicle cer-
tification label. If weight ratings are
exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.

10-18

Technical and consumer information

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.

FLAT TOWING

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when
towing a vehicle behind a recreational ve-
hicle, such as a motor home.

CAUTION

•

Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe transmission damage.

•

Whenever flat towing your vehicle,
always tow forward, never backward.

•

Never tow your front wheel drive ve-
hicle with the front tires on the ground.
Doing so may cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the powertrain.

•

DO NOT tow any continuously vari-
able transmission vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground (flat tow-
ing). Doing so WILL DAMAGE internal
transmission parts due to lack of
transmission lubrication.

•

For emergency towing procedures see
“Towing recommended by NISSAN”
(P. 6-12).

Manual Transmission (if so
equipped)

• Always tow with the manual transmis-

sion in N (Neutral).

• After towing 500 miles (805 km), start and

idle the engine with the transmission in N
(Neutral) for two minutes. Failure to idle
the engine after every 500 miles (805 km)
of towing may cause damage to internal
transmission parts.

Continuously Variable
Transmission (if so equipped)

To tow a vehicle equipped with a continu-
ously variable transmission, an appropriate
vehicle dolly

MUST

be placed under the

towed vehicle's drive wheels.

Always

the dolly manufacturer's recommenda-
tions when using their product.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

TOWING A TRAILER

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

Technical and consumer information

10-19

Traction AA, A, B and C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent
the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of as-
phalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include ac-
celeration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.

Temperature A, B and C

The temperature grades are A (the high-
est), B, and C, representing the tire’s resis-
tance to the generation of heat, and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tem-
perature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and ex-
cessive temperature can lead to sudden

tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Mo-
tor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than the mini-
mum required by law.

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.

Due to legal requirements in some states
and Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may
be required to be in what is called the
“ready

condition”

for

Inspection/

Maintenance (I/M) test of the emission con-
trol system.

The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the ready condition can
be obtained by ordinary usage of the
vehicle.

If a powertrain system component is re-
paired or the battery is disconnected,
the vehicle may be reset to a “not ready”
condition. Before taking the I/M test, check
the vehicle's inspection/maintenance test
readiness condition. Place the ignition
switch in the ON position without starting
the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) comes on steady for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds , the I/M test
condition is “not ready”. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is “ready”. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer to set the “ready con-
dition” or to prepare the vehicle for testing.

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re-
cord such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were

operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depress-

ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better un-
derstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are

recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN
dealer, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

EDR data will only be accessed with the
consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or
as otherwise required or permitted by law.
