Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover
INFOID:0000000003890157
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000003811111
CAUTION:
 When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions
with tires on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are
pre-oiled, tighten as they are.

INSPECTION
Description
CAUTION:
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the standard value, check front suspension
parts for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.
 Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
Preliminary Check
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: Refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
 Transverse link ball joint axial end play: Refer to FSU-11, "
Inspection".
 Strut operation.
 Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of suspension member and transverse link for cracks, deformation and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER, CASTER, AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand at the
same height so that vehicle remains horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install the CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040S0) with the following procedure on wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove three wheel to nuts, and install the guide bolts to hub
bolt.
2. Screw the adapter into the plate until it contacts the plate tightly.
3. Screw the center plate into the plate.
4. Insert the plate assembly on the guide bolt. Put the spring in,
and then evenly screw the three guide bolt nuts. When fastening
the guide nuts, do not completely compress the spring.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of the
center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the
standard value, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is
detected.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858221
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
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.
Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate properly. Also make sure that
all latches lock securely. Lubricate 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 lu-
brication frequently.MA-42
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles).WT-3
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road,
or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear. there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed.
Item Reference page
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and oth-
er lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp
aim.—
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly. —
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering condition, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)—
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-42
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-13
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the en-
gine.LU-7
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoir.MA-37
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. —

DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: refer to RAX-3, "
Inspection".
 Shock absorber operation
 Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of lower link, upper link, rear suspension member, suspension arm and shock absorber for cracks,
deformation, and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER
 Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
 If camber is outside specified range, adjust with adjusting bolt in
lower. Refer to RSU-7, "
Adjustment".
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 the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put matching mark (A) on base line of the tread (rear side) of
both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measur-
ing points.Standard
Camber: Refer to RSU-20, "
