torque NISSAN QUEST 1999 V41 / 2.G Owners Manual

The seating system allows great flexibility.
Proper usage is important to your safety.
WARNING
cDo not slide the seat while the ve-
hicle is moving.
cAfter adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to be sure it is securely locked.
c
After sliding the seat, check that both
sides of the seat are locked securely
by attempting to move each side of
the seat forward and backward. This
must be done before the vehicle isput into motion in order to prevent
unintended movement of the seat and
passenger injuries.
cDo not attempt to use the seats
placed into a storage position for
passengers because in this position
the seat belts will not protect the
occupants. Be sure to use the proper
seat belts for each seat location.
Improper seat belt usage will in-
crease the risk of severe injury in an
accident.
c
When the vehicle is being used to
carry cargo, properly secure all cargo
to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
cBe careful not to damage the seat
belt. Never allow anyone to ride in the
cargo area or on a seat that is in a
storage position. It is not designed
for passengers. They could be in-
jured in sudden braking or a collision.
cTo prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during braking,do not stack anything in the cargo
area higher than the seatbacks.
cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
cBe sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt prop-
erly.
cBe sure to replace and reposition
floor mats as discussed in ``Floor
mat positioning'' in this section.
cThe three-passenger sliding bench
seat is not intended to be removed
from the vehicle by consumers.
However, if it must be removed, have
a qualified person remove it. That
person should refer to the instruc-
tions in the Service Manual. When
seat is reinstalled, the attaching
bolts must be tightened to the appro-
priate torque specifications. Failure

The T-type spare tire is designed for
emergency use. See specific instruc-
tions under the heading ``Wheels and
tires'' in the ``Do-it-yourself'' section of
this manual.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface
between the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the wheel on and tighten
the lug nuts finger tight.
3. With the lug wrench, tighten the lug nuts
alternately and evenly until they are tight.4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground. Then, with the lug
wrench, tighten the lug nuts securely in
the sequence as illustrated. Lower the
vehicle completely.
WARNING
cIncorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
cDo nut use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the
nuts to become loose.
As soon as possible, tighten the lug nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Lug nut tightening torque:
72 to 87 ft-lb (98 to 118 Nzm)
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked for
three hours or more or driven less than 1

Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb
(29 to 39 Nzm)
Do not use excessive force.
7. Refill the engine with a recommended oil
through the oil filler opening then install
the oil filler cap securely.
See the ``Technical and consumer infor-
mation'' section for drain and refill capac-
ity.
The drain and refill capacity depends on
the oil temperature and drain time. Use
these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine
when the proper amount of oil is in the
engine.
8. Start the engine. Check for leakage
around the drain plug. Correct as re-
quired.
9. Turn the engine off and wait several
minutes. Check the oil level with the
dipstick. Add engine oil if necessary.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL FILTER
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Place a large drain pan under the oil
filter.
4. Loosen the oil filter with an oil filter
wrench. Then, remove the oil filter by
turning it by hand.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the
engine oil may be hot.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter mounting sur-
face with a clean rag. Be sure to remove
any old rubber gasket remaining on the
mounting surface of the engine.
6. Coat the rubber gasket on the new filter
with clean engine oil.

Platinum-tipped spark plug
It is not necessary to replace platinum-
tipped spark plugs as frequently as conven-
tional type spark plugs because they last
much longer. Follow the maintenance
schedule, but do not reuse the spark plugs
by cleaning or regapping.
cAlways replace spark plugs with rec-
ommended or equivalent ones.
1. Disconnect the spark plug cables from
the spark plugs.
When disconnecting, always hold the boots,
not the cables.2. Remove the spark plugs with a spark
plug socket. The plug socket has a rub-
ber seal that holds the spark plug so it
does not fall when it is pulled out. Make
sure each spark plug is snugly fitted into
the plug socket.
3. Fit the new plugs, one at a time, into the
spark plug socket and install them.Use
only the specified spark plugs.Turn
each plug several full turns by hand, then
tighten with the spark plug socket to the
correct torque. Do not overtighten.
Spark plug tightening torque:
14 to 22 ft-lb (20 to 29 Nzm)
4. Holding the boot, re-connect each high
tension cable to its proper spark plug by
pushing it on until you feel a snap.The filter should not be cleaned and reused.
Replace it according to the maintenance
intervals shown in the ``Maintenance'' sec-
tion of this manual. When replacing the
filter, unclip the four clamps and remove the
filter. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner
housing and the cover with a damp cloth
when replacing filter.
