CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

Checking Seat Belt, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and AdjustersBLS0008X
CAUTION:

After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improp-
erly operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal col-
lision where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.

If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.

If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.

Never oil tongue and buckle.

Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to SB-6, "
Inspection" in SB section.

Check anchors for loose mounting

Check belts for damage

Check retractor for smooth operation

Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released

cable sufficiently. Then, return pedal.
2. Remove tyres from vehicle.
3. Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to hub and prevent it from tilting.
4. Remove adjusting hole plug installed on disc rotor. Using a flat-
bladed screwdriver, turn adjuster to clockwise in the figure until
disc rotor is locked. After locking, turn adjuster to opposite direc-
tion by 5 or 6 notches.
5. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Then install
adjusting hole plug.
6. After adjusting the clearance of rear shoes, with no drag on rear
brake, adjuster cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg,
11 0 l b ) .
b. Depress pedal until a deep socket wrench can be inserted.
