Nissan FRONTIER 2023 Air Cleaner and Lights 

For the 2023 Nissan Frontier to operate effectively and safely, the air cleaner and lights must be maintained. Engine performance depends on the air cleaner, which should be inspected and changed on a regular basis, particularly while working in dusty environments. The lights on the car, such as the turn signals, tail lights, and headlights, need to be kept clean and inspected frequently to make sure they are mounted securely and operating as intended. The car must have routine maintenance from these parts in order to function properly and continue to be safe to drive.

Air cleaner and Lights

The dry paper-type filter element may be cleaned and reused. Replace it according to the maintenance log shown in the “Maintenance and schedules” section of this manual.

To remove the air cleaner filter:

1. Unlatch the clips OA and move the air cleaner cover upward.
2. Remove the air cleaner filter.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner filter housing and cover it with a damp cloth.

NOTE:
After installing a new air cleaner filter, make sure the air cleaner cover is seated in the housing and latch the clips OA.

WARNING

• Operating the engine with the air cleaner removed can cause you or others to be burned. The air cleaner not only cleans the air, it stops the flame if the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Do not drive with the air cleaner removed, and be careful when working on the engine with the air cleaner removed.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or attempt to start the engine with the air cleaner removed. Doing so could result in serious injury.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The cabinet microfilter restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen particles and reduces some objectionable outside odors. The filter is located behind the glove box. For additional information, see the “Maintenance and schedules” section of this manual for change intervals. If replacement is required, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer or if a wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield with a washer solution or a mild detergent. Your windshield is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with clear water. Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked in a washer solution or a mild detergent. Then rinse the blades with clear water. If your windshield is still not clear after cleaning the blades and using the wiper, replace the blades.

CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage the windshield and impair driver vision.

REPLACING
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.

1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
2. Push and hold the release tab OA, and then move the wiper blade down OB the wiper arm to remove.
3. Remove the wiper blade.
4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.

CAUTION

• After the wiper blade replacement, return the wiper arm to its original position; otherwise, it may be damaged when the hood is opened.
• Make sure the wiper blades contact the glass; otherwise, the arms may be damaged from wind pressure.

Be careful not to let anything get into the washer nozzle OD. This may cause clogging or improper windshield–wash operation. If something gets into the nozzle, remove it with a needle or small pin OC

BRAKES
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the brakes checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Self-adjusting brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting brakes. The front and rear disc-type brakes self-adjust every time the brake pedal is applied.

WARNING
Has your brake system checked if the brake pedal height does not return to normal? It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Brake pad wear indicators
The disc brake pads on your vehicle have audible wear indicators. When a brake pad requires replacement, a high-pitched scraping or screeching sound will be heard when the vehicle is in motion. The noise will be heard whether or not the brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes checked as soon as possible if the wear indicator sound is heard. Under some driving or climate conditions, occasional brake squeak, squeal or other noise may be heard. Occasional brake noise during light to moderate stops is normal and does not affect the function or performance of the brake system. Proper brake inspection intervals should be followed. For additional information regarding brake inspections, see the appropriate maintenance schedule information in the “Maintenance and schedules” section of this manual.

Two types of fuses are used. Type OA is used in the fuse boxes in the engine compartment. Type OB is used in the passenger compartment and engine compartment fuse boxes. Type OA fuses are provided as spare fuses. There are no spare fuses in the engine compartment.

If a type OA fuse is used to replace a type OB fuse, the type OA fuse will not be level with the fuse pocket as shown in the illustration. This will not affect the performance of the fuse. Make sure the fuse is installed in the fuse box securely. Type OB fuses cannot be installed in the underhood fuse boxes. Only use type OA fuses in the underhood fuse boxes.

The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type that uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. Because the headlight assembly must be removed from the vehicle for bulb replacement, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

CAUTION

• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• When handling the bulb, do not touch the glass envelope.

• Use the same number and wattage as shown in the chart.
• Do not leave the bulb out of the head-light reflector for a long period of time as dust, moisture, and smoke may enter the headlight body and affect the performance of the headlight. Aiming is not necessary after replacing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is necessary, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If large drops of water collect inside the lens, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for servicing.
