Keeping Your Nissan Electric Vehicle in Top Condition

 

Your electric vehicle will last longer and remain safer to drive if you follow the Nissan EV maintenance schedule. Your owner’s guide will have all the specific information you need for your particular vehicle. Still, we can give you a general idea of how often you should have it serviced at your local Nissan dealer in Vancouver and what inspections you should have.

 

 

 

How to Maintain Your Nissan EV

Visit the Nissan website to use the Interactive EV Multi-Point Inspection tool for detailed information about each step in the inspection process. The tool covers the interior and exterior of your vehicle, under the hood, HV system health, the underbody, and your tires.

 

 

 

Nissan EV Maintenance Services at Your Local Nissan Dealer

Certain inspections and services should be performed on your Nissan electric vehicle about every six to 12 months or when it has driven a specific number of miles, whichever comes first. Some services should be performed if your vehicle has experienced more severe usage than normal.

 

 

 

Every Six Months or 7,500 Miles

For every six months or 7,500 miles you drive, standard maintenance should include the following inspections:

• Horn, lights, signals, wipers, liftgate/hood lift supports
• Battery terminals and cables, battery test
• Tire pressure, tread, wear, and depth
• Suspension components (shocks, subframe, tie rods)
• Charging port
• Charging port rubber cap

You must have your tires rotated at this time, as well. Severe usage maintenance inspections include:

• Axle and suspension parts
• Brake pads and rotors
• Drive shaft boots
• Front suspension ball joints
• Steering gear and linkage
• •Steering package ball joints

 

 

 

Every 12 Months or 15,000 Miles

After every 12 months or 15,000 miles you drive, whichever comes first, you must replace the in-cabin microfilter and have your tires rotated again. Severely used vehicles require the brake fluid replaced and the same inspections from the six-month schedule. Starting at 22,500 miles or 18 months, the Intelligent Key battery should be inspected every 12 months.

 

Standard maintenance should include all of the services from the six-month schedule, plus the following inspections:

• Brake lines and cables
• Brake pads and rotors
• Cooling system
• Drive shaft boots
• Traction motor oil (for leaks)
• Gearbox oil
• Rear final drive oil (AWD models)
