To help keep your Nissan Kicks operating smoothly, safely, and efficiently throughout its service life, NISSAN provides two maintenance schedules tailored to different driving environments and usage patterns. These schedules combine both mileage-based and time-based service intervals and cover maintenance requirements up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 144 months. For most owners, the vehicle's odometer will be the primary guide for determining when service is due. However, if the vehicle is driven infrequently, maintenance should still be performed according to the specified time intervals, even if the mileage remains low.
Following the appropriate maintenance schedule helps preserve the performance, reliability, and long-term durability of your Nissan Kicks while ensuring that essential systems continue to operate as intended.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/ 144 months, continue maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Additional Maintenance Items for severe operating conditions
Certain Nissan Kicks vehicles are operated under conditions that place additional stress on vehicle systems and components. In these situations, extra maintenance procedures are recommended to help maintain reliability and reduce the effects of accelerated wear.
Additional maintenance items should be performed if the vehicle is primarily driven under one or more of the following conditions:
- Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
- Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) when outside temperatures remain below freezing.
- Operating in hot weather during frequent stop-and-go or rush-hour traffic conditions.
- Extended idling and/or prolonged low-speed operation, such as taxi service, police use, delivery routes, or similar applications.
- Driving in dusty or sandy environments where contaminants can accumulate more rapidly.
- Driving on rough, muddy, unpaved, or salt-treated roads.
- Using a car-top carrier that may place additional load on the vehicle.
If your Nissan Kicks is regularly subjected to these operating conditions, follow the severe-use maintenance intervals shown throughout the maintenance schedule.
