(7) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CONSULT-III every 100,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. (Refer to "CONSULT-III FUNCTION (TRANSMISSION) ".) And if CONSULT-III is not available, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 100,000 km (60,000 miles). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
