Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012430294
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000012430295
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.
Precaution for SuspensionINFOID:0000000012430296
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening mu st be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Spilled oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in designated positions.
• After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
• Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are pre-oiled,
tighten as they are.
• When jacking up the vehicle with a floor jack, do not hang the jack on the torque rod.

COMPONENT PART
Check the mount conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component. Verify the component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
Ball Joint Axial End Play
1. Set the front wheels in a straight-ahead position.
2. Hold the axle side of the tran sverse link, and check the axial end
play by move the transverse link up and down.
CAUTION:
• Do not depress the brake pedal when measuring.
• Do not perform this inspect ion with the tires on the
ground.
• Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the components by applying excessive force.
STRUT ASSEMBLY
Check for oil leaks or damage. Replace the parts if necessary.Axial end play : Refer to

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000012430301
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If the wheel alignment is out of s pecification, 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, engine coolant, and lubricants are full; the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer to WT-54, "
Wheel".
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-27, "
Wheel Bearing".
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mount point of the suspension co mponents for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to FSU-21, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*)".
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recomm ended for any NISSAN/INFINITI 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 capabl e of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI 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.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific a lignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to FSU-20, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*1)".
• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
- The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators may
not be correct.
- This may result in an ERROR.
• Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with "Rolling Compensation" method and optional
"Jacking Compensation" method to "compensate" the alignment targets or head units.
"Rolling Compensation" is the preferred method.
- If using the "Rolling Compensation" method, after inst alling the alignment targets or head units, push or pull
on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull on the vehicle body.
- If using the "Jacking Compensation" method, after inst alling the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn in either direction.
NOTE:
Do not use the "Rolling Compensation" method if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for more information.
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES INSPECTION
• Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
• Before inspection, set the front wheels onto a turning radius gauge. Set the rear wheels onto a pad that has
the same height so the vehicle will remain horizontal.
TOTAL TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure the total toe-in using the following procedure.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
WARNING:
• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in fr ont of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of each tire at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure the distance (A) from the rear side.
5. Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle slowly ahead and to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Do not
push vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance (B) from the front side.
7. Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in.
• If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adjust the total toe-in. Refer to FSU-8, "
Adjustment".
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000012430302
TOTAL TOE-IN
Loosen the steering outer socket. Adjust the length using the steering inner socket.
CAUTION:
• Always evenly adjust toe-in alternately and adjust the difference be tween the left and right to the
standard.
• Always hold the steering inner socket wh en tightening the steering outer socket.
