To guarantee the long-term reliability, safety, and operational economy of your vehicle, NISSAN provides two distinct maintenance schedules tailored to your specific driving habits. These structured plans cover both distance and time-based intervals, extending up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 96 months. For the average driver, the odometer reading serves as the primary indicator for when service is required. However, if your annual mileage is low, it is crucial to ensure your Nissan Leaf is serviced according to the specified time intervals to maintain all systems in peak condition.

Beyond the 120,000-mile (192,000 km) or 96-month mark, you should continue to follow the established maintenance pattern at the same recurring intervals.

Additional Maintenance Items for severe operating conditions

Vehicles driven under particularly demanding or "severe" conditions require a more rigorous maintenance approach. You should adhere to the supplementary maintenance requirements if your daily usage consistently involves any of the following scenarios:

• Repeated short-distance trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Frequent short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) in sub-freezing outside temperatures.
• Extensive operation in hot weather, particularly in heavy "stop-and-go" traffic.
• Prolonged idling or continuous low-speed operation, common in professional use such as taxi, police, or delivery services.
• Regular operation in notably dusty environments.
• Frequent driving on rough, muddy, or salt-treated roads.
• Regular use of a car-top carrier or luggage rack.

If your Nissan Leaf is primarily subjected to these severe operating conditions, please follow the specialized "Severe Use" maintenance intervals provided in your official schedule to ensure continued optimal performance.
