Pre trip inspection items
Preparing your Nissan ahead of holiday travel brings peace of mind and helps ensure safe reliable performance.
Fluids and filters
Check your engine oil level and condition. Clean oil helps your engine run smoothly during longer highway drives across the desert.
Inspect coolant and antifreeze since both play an important role even during warm Southern California winters.
Review brake fluid power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid to confirm they are at proper levels.
Replace engine and cabin air filters as needed. Clean filters improve interior air quality and help the engine breathe more efficiently.
Tires and brakes
Inspect tire tread depth and overall condition. Desert roads and high temperatures can accelerate tire wear over time.
Confirm tire pressure for all four tires including the spare. Proper inflation improves handling fuel efficiency and safety.
Check brake pads and rotors for wear. Reliable braking performance is essential for highways, mountain routes and busy holiday streets.
Battery and electrical system
Test your battery to ensure it has strong starting power. Temperature changes across the region can affect battery health and reliability.
Confirm that all exterior and interior lights work properly since visibility is especially important during holiday travel.
Make sure climate control and infotainment systems are functioning correctly for a more comfortable drive.
Interior and exterior readiness
Evaluate your air conditioning performance since Coachella Valley winter days can still be warm especially during midday travel.
Replace worn windshield wipers and inspect the glass for chips or cracks. Clear visibility is essential under strong desert sunlight.
Prepare a small travel kit with water sun protection chargers and basic tools to add safety and comfort during longer drives.
