Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Raise and lock both seats in the full upright position to check for abnormal noises or binding.
Seat Belt InspectionINFOID:0000000001537290
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in u se during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accide nt. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or im proper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioners
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt retractor and belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
• The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
• The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide).
• The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt retractor and belt assembly.
• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
• The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if t he seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Switch ignition ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime should sound for about seven seconds.
b. Fasten drivers seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should stop.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III, and air bag warning
lamp. Refer to SRC-13, "
SRS Operation Check".
3. Check that the seat belt retractor and belt asse mbly, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely
attached.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001731956
SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The suspension control system consists of the following components
• Suspension control unit
• Compressor motor relay
• Suspension air compressor
• Exhaust valve solenoid (built into suspension air compressor)
• Height sensor
The suspension control unit monitors vehicle ride height as indicated by the height sensor. The suspension
control unit actuates the compressor motor relay to ra ise the vehicle ride height. The suspension control unit
actuates the exhaust valve solenoid to lower the vehicle ride height.
CK SUSP INDICATOR LAMP
The CK SUSP indicator lamp ground is controlled by the suspension control unit. The indicator lamp will come
on for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If the indicator lamp does not turn OFF there is a fault
detected. Refer to SCS-7, "
