WHEEL ALIGNMENT
 Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
Toe-In
Measure toe-in by the following procedure.
WARNING:
 Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
 Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).

system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000003852782
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
 Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
 When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
 Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000003852783
 Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
 Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec-
tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
 Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow
sensor.
HosesINFOID:0000000003852784
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
 To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose with
tapered tool or screwdriver.
 To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion
length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000003848852
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attached hardware after any collision.
NISSAN/INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision is minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Not
doing so could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during
a collision must also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-ten-
sioners must be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air
bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
 The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
 The seat belt was damaged in an accident (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
 The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
 Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
 The seat belt pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime
should sound for about six seconds.
b. Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn off and the chime (if sounding) should
stop.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis with CONSULT-III and air bag warning lamp.
Refer to SRC-10, "
Diagnosis Description".
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels
freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If
the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Because dirt
build-up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check that seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
Inspect the front seat belt through-anchor
1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.
3. Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it
tauntly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt
stuck there.
4. Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.
NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no looseness or wrinkling.

6. Remove the clip fixing the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.
6. Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat belts.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop) the
retractor will lock and prevent the webbing from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors
except the driver seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also
called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt
is fully extended. When the webbing is then retracted partially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt
in a specific position so the webbing cannot be extended any further. To cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat
belt to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors with the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.
ELR Function Stationary Check
Grasp the shoulder webbing and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from
extending further.
ALR Function Stationary Check
1. Pull out the entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the webbing partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the webbing retracts indicating that the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retractor. The webbing must lock and not extend any further. If
NG, replace the retractor assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of the webbing to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.
ELR Function Moving Check
WARNING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. Never perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten driver seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop
and the driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the retractor does
not lock, apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During stopping, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock,
perform the retractor off-vehicle check.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK
1. Remove the seat belt retractor.
Remove the front seat belt assembly, refer to SB-5, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Removal and Installa-
tion".
2. Slowly pull out webbing while tilting the retractor assembly forward from the mounted position without
twisting the retractor assembly as shown in the illustration.

 The webbing can be pulled out when the angle (A) is 15
degrees or more.
 The webbing cannot be pulled out when the angle (B) is 27
degrees or more.
3. If the seat belt assembly dose not operate normally, replace the seat belt assembly.
