INFOID:0000000003862424
1. Place the screen.
NOTE:
 Stop the vehicle at the perpendicular angle to the wall.
 Set the screen so that it is perpendicular to a level load surface.
2. Face the vehicle squarely toward the screen and make the distance between the headlamp center and
the screen 10 m (32.8 ft).
3. Start the engine and illuminate the headlamp (LO).
NOTE:
Block light from the headlamp that is not being adjusted with a thick fabric or another object, so that it
does not reach the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Do not cover lens surface with tape, etc. because it is made from plastic.
4. Use the aiming adjustment screw to adjust the elbow point projected by the low beams on the screen, so
that it is within the aiming adjustment area.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Exploded View".
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 improperly
operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal colli-
sion 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-3, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Inspection" , SB-8, "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR :
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

 Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
 The spiral cable must be aligned in the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering
wheel and column after removal of steering gear.
 Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing down.
 Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper functioning after replacing any components.
 After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
 Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003814141
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR 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 “SRS AIRBAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
 To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
 Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
ServiceINFOID:0000000003814109
 Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
 Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the battery negative terminal is removed, it is still possible for the air bag
and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3
minutes have elapsed.
 Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
 The spiral cable must be aligned in the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering
wheel and column after removal of steering gear.
 Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing down.
 Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
 After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
 Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.

PRECAUTIONS
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
- Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might inter-
fere with their operation.
- Never reuse non-reusable parts.
- Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.

tact with boot.
19. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
20. Install low pressure piping.
21. Adjust inner socket to standard length (L), and then tighten lock
nut to the specified torque. Check length again after tightening
lock nut.
CAUTION:
Adjust toe-in after this procedure. The length achieved after
toe-in adjustment is not necessary the above value.
InspectionINFOID:0000000003806325
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
 Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-9, "
Inspection".
 Check the fluid level, fluid leakage, and air bleeding hydraulic system. Refer to ST-7, "
Inspection".
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Boot
Check boot for cracks, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Rack Assembly
Check rack for damage or wear, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Gear-Sub Assembly
