If safety is a priority, you've made a good choice with a Nissan. You'll keep your car safe and sure on the road with routine Nissan service at your Nissan dealership. Here's the key safety-related maintenance to schedule.
Inspect Your Brakes
Strong brakes prevent collisions, so have your brakes inspected twice a year. The brake pads will need to be replaced periodically, and the brake fluid should be flushed every couple of years.
Replace Your Wipers
It can get pretty wet in Louisiana. You'll keep your visibility clear on rainy days with reliable windshield wipers. Replace your wipers once or twice a year, and always keep the wiper fluid topped up.
Check Tire Air Pressure
Tires are crucial for vehicle control and overall road safety. Each tire should always have the correct air pressure. Under or over-inflated tires are more at risk of skids, blow outs, and damage from debris. Find out the optimal PSI for your tires and check the air pressure once a month.
Rotate Your Tires
Your tires must also be rotated at least twice a year. Without this important service, they'll gradually wear unevenly, which lessens traction and shortens tire lifespan.
Align Your Wheels
It's also dangerous if your wheels become misaligned. Crooked wheels make steering less precise and also wear down the tires faster. To prevent this, have your wheels professionally realigned every six months.
Tune Up Your Suspension
The suspension keeps the tires firmly in contact with the road. It also helps you to steer and brake precisely. You'll avoid hazardous suspension problems with a tune up once per year.
Check Your Headlights
At night or during inclement weather, you'll need your headlights for visibility. Check your headlights and other exterior lights monthly. Clean dirty lenses and have faulty bulbs promptly replaced.
Test Your Battery
Battery problems can leave you stranded unexpectedly beside the road. Headlights, dashboard dials, and other safety-related components also depend on a reliable supply of electricity. Have your battery, alternator, and electrical wiring tested once or twice a year.
Service Your Exhaust System
A clogged or damaged catalytic converter can cause noxious engine fumes to enter your car. Keep your exhaust pipes and undercarriage clean to minimize corrosion, and have the whole exhaust system inspected yearly.
Maintain Your Defogger
Drivers sometimes overlook the AC's defogger, which helps to preserve visibility on chilly mornings. At least once a year, make sure to have your air conditioner inspected for leaks and minor faults.
