a. Insert Tool (A) between the lower oil pan and the upper oil pan.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
• Do not insert a screwdriver or similar tool, this will dam-
age the mating surfaces.
b. In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap (1) the cutter where the liquid gasket is applied. Use
a plastic hammer to slide (2) the cutter by tapping on the side.
4. If re-installing the original lower oil pan, remove the old liquid gasket from the mating surfaces using a scraper.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Aiming AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009463618
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment procedure, check the following:
• Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
• Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
• Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
• Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
• Remove cargo and/or luggage to maintain an unloaded vehicle condition.
• Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
• Carefully wipe off any dirt from headlamp lens. CAUTION:
Do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
• Place a driver or equivalent weight of 68.5 kg (150 lb) on the driver seat.
• By hand, bounce the front and rear of the vehicle to settle the suspension and eliminate any static load.
• Place the front tires in the straight ahead position.
• Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
NOTE:
• For headlamp aiming details, refer to regulations in your area.
• By regulation, no means for horizontal aim adjustment is provided from the factory; only vertical aim is
adjustable.
• Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment.
• Perform headlamp aiming if:
- The vehicle front body has been repaired.
- The front combination lamp has been removed or replaced.
- Any outfitting has been installed.
- The vehicle’s standard load condition has been substantially increased.
Aiming Adjustment Procedure
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
• Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
• Place the board on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the vehicle with the screen. Maintain 7.62 m (25.0 ft) between the front fog lamp center and the
screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the front fog lamp ON. NOTE:
Shut off the headlamp light with the board to prevent from illuminating the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.
4. Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting screw (A).

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. Cluster lid A and the instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar finisher
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or ra ttle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shift selector assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation pr ocedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them wh ile driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-50397) to repair the noise.
TRUNK
Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, se curing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area c an often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the c onsole panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the c onsole at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
