PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day opera-
tion of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can per-
form the checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including the
spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or
excessive wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication fre-
quently.MA-39
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for 2WD models and every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models.MA-35
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-40
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-16, 25
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine.MA-19, 24
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the
``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines on the reservoir.MA-32, 35
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines. Ð
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA-4

Changing Oil Filter
1. Remove oil filter with a suitable tool.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and the engine
oil are hot.
2. Before installing a new oil filter, clean the oil filter mounting
surface on cylinder block, and coat the rubber seal of oil fil-
ter with a little engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then
tighten additionally more than 2/3 turn.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to ``Changing Engine Oil'', MA-19.
Checking and Changing Spark Plugs
1. Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs at boot.
Do not pull on the wire.
2. Remove spark plugs with spark plug wrench.
3. Clean plugs in sand blast cleaner.
4. Check insulator for cracks or chips, gasket for damage or
deterioration and electrode for wear and burning. If they are
excessively worn away, replace with new spark plugs.

5. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket
and smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
6. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
7. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter. (Type A)
8. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
9. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Type A
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
Type B
Loosen air bleeder screw from the sedimentor cover and then
loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
2. Bleed air.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.

3. Check spray pattern by pumping tester handle one full stroke
per second.
a. If main spray angle is within 30 degrees as shown, injec-
tion nozzle is good.
b. It is still normal even if a thin stream of spray deviates
from main spray (pattern B).
4. If initial injection pressure or injection nozzle is not normal,
adjust or clean injection nozzle.
5. Test again. If it is not corrected, replace nozzle.
Refer to EC section for injection pressure adjustment, clean-
ing and replacement.
6. Install all injection nozzles with Tool and securely connect
fuel spill tube and delivery tubes.
7. Bleed air from fuel system and check for fuel leakage with
engine running.
Injection nozzle to cylinder head:
:54-64Nzm (5.5 - 6.5 kg-m, 40 - 47 ft-lb)
Spill tube nut:
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
Injection tube:
:20-25Nzm (2.0 - 2.5 kg-m, 14 - 18 ft-lb)
Checking Idle Speed
Preparation
1. Make sure that injection timing is correct.
2. Make sure that injection nozzles are in good condition.
3. Make sure that the following parts are in good condition.
lAir cleaner clogging
lGlow system
lEngine oil and coolant levels
lValve clearance
lAir intake system (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
4. Set shift lever in ``Neutral'' position. Engage parking brake
and lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
6. Make sure that idle control knob is fully released and idle
adjusting screw contacts accelerator control lever.

Checking Fluid Leakage (For power steering)
Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
lMake sure temperature of fluid in reservoir tank rises to
60 to 80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ``lock'' position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel at lock position for more than 15
seconds.
4. If fluid leakage from any line is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check
power steering pump. Refer to ST-34.
6. If fluid leakage from power steering gear is noticed, check
power steering gear. Refer to ST-19 (PB48S), or ST-27
(PB59K).
Bleeding Hydraulic System (For power
steering)
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the
ground.
2. Add fluid to reservoir tank to specified level. Then quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steer-
ing stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
lIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur:
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in power steering pump
c. Excessive buzzing in power steering pump
When this happens, bleed air again.
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or power steering pump. This
is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the
steering wheel slowly. This does not affect the performance or
durability of the system.

Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
Inspection
lWhen steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the
steering column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubri-
cate with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace
steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check jacket tube for deformation or breakage. Replace if
necessary.
lWhen the vehicle is involved in a light collision, check dimen-
sion ``L''. If it is not within specifications, replace steering
column as an assembly.
Column length ``L'':
