2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX”
line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.
Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001606172
Inspect the fuel lines and fuel tank for improper mounting, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing, or deterioration.
As necessary, repair or replace any faulty parts.
Changing Fuel FilterINFOID:0000000001606173
The fuel filter is part of the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly. Refer to FL-7, "Removal
and Installation" .
WARNING:
Before replacing the fuel filter, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to EC-494, "
Fuel
Pressure Check".

• Checking and adjusting plug gap is not required between change
intervals.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
• The hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with the standard type spark plug under conditionssuch as:
- Frequent engine starts
- Low ambient temperatures
• The cold type spark plug is suitable when spark knock occurs with the standard type spark plug under condi- tions such as:
- Extended highway driving
- Frequent high engine revolution
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock spark plug.
Checking EVAP Vapor LineINFOID:0000000001606178
1. Visually inspect the EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment, cracks, damage, loose connections, chaf-
ing, or deterioration.
2. Inspect the vacuum relief valve of the fuel tank filler cap for clogging and sticking.
Refer to EC-496, "
How to Detect Fuel Vapor Leakage" .

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000004900823
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000001732010
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with thetires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.
