The check engine light can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensor, or issues with the catalytic converter. It's best to use an OBD-II scanner to check for diagnostic trouble codes or take your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a full inspection.
To change the cabin air filter in your 2021 Maxima, open the glove box and remove the dampener arm. Push in the sides of the glove box to release it and gain access to the filter cover. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. Reassemble the glove box.

To pair your smartphone, enable Bluetooth on your device and navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu in your Maxima’s infotainment system. Select "Add Phone" and choose your device from the list, following the prompts to complete the pairing process.
If your key fob is not working, first try replacing the battery. If the problem persists, ensure there are no nearby devices causing interference. If issues continue, consult your dealer for further diagnostics or a replacement fob.
To jump-start your Maxima, locate the battery and connect the positive cable to the positive terminal. Connect the other end to the positive terminal of the donor vehicle.
