The VDC OFF indicator light also comes on
when you place the ignition switch in the
ON position. The light will turn off af ter
about 2 seconds if the system is opera-
tional. If the light stays on or comes on
along with the
indicator light while
you are driving, have the VDC system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
While the VDC system is operating, you
might feel a slight vibration or hear the sys-
tem working when starting the vehicle or
accelerating, but this is normal.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a disc brake pad requires
replacement, it makes a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in mo-
tion, whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.
Key reminder chime
A chime sounds if the driver’s door is
opened while the key is lef t in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
With the ignition switch placed in the OFF
position, a chime sounds when the driver’s
door is opened if the headlights or parking
lights are on.
Turn the headlight control switch off before
leaving the vehicle.
Parking brake reminder chime
A chime sounds if the parking brake is set
and the vehicle is driven. The chime will
stop if the parking brake is released or the
vehicle speed returns to zero.

HEADLIGHT AIM
The aim of the headlights may require ad-
justment when replacing the headlight as-
sembly or when the vehicle’s front body
has been repaired. When the adjustment is
required, follow these procedures, or have
them adjusted by a NISSAN dealer.
Before performing the headlights aim ad-
justment:∙ Check the pressure of all tires for the correct inflation pressure.
∙ Check that the tools and spare tire are stowed securely. ∙ Check that the fuel and lubricants levels
are filled to correct capacities.
∙ Unload all luggage and other items, which may influence the vehicle’s
height level.
∙ Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface verti-
cal to the wall or screen to which the
headlights will be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to determine the point P as shown in the
illustration.
The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the head-
light’s center point to the level surface.
“WL” is the distance between the lef t
and right headlights’ centers.
LDI2422LDI2423
8-24Do-it-yourself

3. Mark point P on the wall or screen.
4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,16.4 f t) straight away from the wall or
screen.
”L” is the distance between the wall or
screen to the vehicle’s front bumper.
5. Apply the parking brake.
Adjusting the headlight aim
Be sure that the vehicle is parked directly
vertical to the wall on which the headlights
will be projected. 1. Turn on the headlight low beam
2. Open the hood.
3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws
1
2, located inside the engine compart-
ment, until the headlight projection, on
the wall or screen, does not move. NOTE:
The aim adjustment screws are located
on each side of the headlights. The lower
screw
1is used to adjust the horizontal
aim. The upper screw
2is used to adjust
the vertical aim.
The screws can be turned indefinitely in
each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-
serve the headlight projection move-
ment to determine the necessary turn-
ing amount.

Doors and engine hood:Check that the
doors and engine hood operate properly.
Also ensure that all latches lock securely.
Lubricate hinges, latches, latch pins, rollers
and links if necessary. Make sure that the
secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is re-
leased.
When driving in areas using road salt or
other corrosive materials, check lubrica-
tion frequently.
Lights*: Clean the headlights on a regular
basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other
lights are all operating properly and in-
stalled securely. Also check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When check-
ing the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are
missing, and check for any loose wheel
nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*: Tires should be rotated ev-
ery 8,000 km (5,000 miles).
Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge
of ten and always prior to long distance
trips. If necessary, adjust the pressure in all
tires, including the spare, to the pressure
specified. Check carefully for damage, cuts
or excessive wear. Wheel alignment and balance:
If the ve-
hicle should pull to either side while driving
on a straight and level road, or if you detect
uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may
be a need for wheel alignment. If the steer-
ing wheel or seat vibrates at normal high-
way speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Tire Safety Information” (Canada)
or “Important Tire Safety Information” (US)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield: Clean the windshield on a
regular basis. Check the windshield at least
every six months for cracks or other dam-
age. Have a damaged windshield repaired
by a qualified repair facility.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check for
cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should
be checked on a regular basis, such as
when performing scheduled maintenance,
cleaning the vehicle, etc. Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for
smooth operation and make sure the
pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mat away from the
pedal.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation. If the brake pedal suddenly goes
down further than normal, the pedal feels
spongy or the vehicle seems to take longer
to stop, have your vehicle checked imme-
diately. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull
the vehicle to one side when applied.
Automatic transmission P (Park) mecha-
nism: On a fairly steep hill check that the
vehicle is held securely with the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position without applying any
brakes.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake
operation regularly. The vehicle should be
securely held on a fairly steep hill with only
the parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjustment, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
