8. Refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.
lTo replace the ATF, pour in new ATF at A/T fluid charging pipe
with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old ATF
from A/T fluid cooler hose return side.
lWhen the color of the ATF coming out is about the same as the color of the new ATF, the replacement

CAUTION:
lUse only Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J. Do not mix with other ATF.
lUsing ATF other than Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J will cause deterioration in driveability
and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle
warranty.
lWhen filling ATF, take care not to spillover heat generating parts such as exhaust.
9. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.

rect level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking
brake switch.

Checking Seat Belts, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and Adjusters
ELS001J7
Check the seat belt buckles, webbing, retractors, anchors and adjusters. Replace any seat belt assembly as
necessary. Refer toSB-11, "
Seat Belt Inspection".
lCheck the seat belt anchors for loose mounting bolts, damage, or excessive wear.
lCheck the seat belt webbing for any damage, cuts, fraying, or excessive wear.
lCheck the retractor for smooth operation.
lCheck the function of the buckles by inserting the seat belt tongue and checking for proper engagement of
the buckle and press the button on the buckle to check for proper release of the seat belt tongue.
CAUTION:
lAfter any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached com-
ponents, such as the guide rail set. NISSAN recommends replacing all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless they are not damaged and are inspected to confirm they are operating
properly after a minor collision.
Also inspect all seat belt assemblies that are not in use during a collision, and replace any compo-
nents if damaged or not operating properly. The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if
the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision where the driver and passenger air bags
have been deployed.
lIf any component of the seat belt assembly is suspected of being damaged or not operating prop-
erly, do not repair the component. Replace the components as an assembly.
lIf the seat belt webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged then replace the seat belt assembly.
lNever lubricate the seat belt buckle or tongue.
lWhen replacing any seat belt assembly always use a Genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
