REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Wheel Alignment InspectionEES001HH
Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface. Use CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLE-
NOID” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load leveling air suspension system.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for runout and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play.
5. Check the shock absorbers. Refer to RSU-27, "
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION" .
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to RSU-49, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" .

If vehicle height is not within ± 10 mm (0.39 in) of the specification, perform the control unit initialization
procedure. Refer to RSU-47, "
Initialization Procedure" .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.

This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.

The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.

The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.

The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.

Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.

AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
System DescriptionEIS004XE

Refer to Owner's Manual for Automatic Drive Positioner system operating instructions.

The settings (ON/OFF) of the automatic sliding seat (Entry/Exiting operation) at entry/exit can be changed
as desired, using the display unit in the center of the instrument panel. The set content is transmitted by
CAN communication, from display control unit to driver seat control unit.

Using CONSULT-ll, the seat slide amount at entry/exit setting can be changed.
NOTE:

Disconnecting the battery erases the stored memory.

After connecting the battery, insert the key into the ignition cylinder and turn the front door switch LH ON (open) →OFF (close) →ON
(open), the Entry/Exiting function becomes possible.

After Exiting operation is carried out, return operation can be operated.
NOTE:
During automatic operation, if the ignition switch is turned ON →START, the automatic operation is suspended. When the ignition switch
returns to ON, it resumes.
FAIL-SAFE MODE
When any manual and automatic operations are not performed, if any motor operations of seats or pedals are
detected for T2 or more, status is judged “Output error ”.
