Maintenance

The maintenance menu allows the driver to set reminders for various scheduled maintenance items, helping ensure the Nissan Sentra remains in optimal operating condition.

WARNING

The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire inspections, including routine tire pressure checks. For additional information, see "Changing wheels and tires". Many factors, including tire inflation level, wheel alignment, driving habits, and road conditions, affect tire wear and the timing of tire replacement. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a specific driving distance does not guarantee that the tires will last that long. Use this indicator as a general guide only and always perform regular tire checks.

Failure to perform regular tire inspections, including tire pressure checks, may result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.
