6. Before servicing the vehicle, protect fenders, upholstery andcarpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons on your person do
not scratch the paint.
7. Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
8. Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
9. Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
10. Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
11. Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as electronic control units).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
12. After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi- cate the proper connection.
13. Use only the lubricants specified in MA section.
14. Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
15. Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
16. When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
17. Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
(Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-
tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal col-
lision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag mod-
ules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a
diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral
cable.
WARNING:
ITo 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
dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow

4-pole Lift
WARNING:
Do not use a 2-pole lift.
Due to weight balance of the vehicle and shape of underbody,
lift arms can not be attached in a safe way. Therefore it is rec-
ommended to use a 4-pole lift only.
Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
IAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
I It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
I Attach safety chains for all towing.
I When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
I When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Move both the gearshift and transfer levers to neutral (ªNº
position).
Turn the ignition key to the ªOFFº position and secure the
steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ªLOCKº
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
I When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release
the parking brake and move both the gearshift and trans-
fer levers to neutral (ªNº position).
I Never tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four
wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue functioning correctly. Owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves, or they can be carried out by a NISSAN dealer.
ItemReference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, unless otherwise specified.
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge weekly when at a service station, including the spare,
and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear. Ð
Windshield wiper blades Check for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. Ð
Doors and engine hood Check that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
function correctly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch prevents the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication more
often. MA-45
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). MA-43
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle etc.
Lights Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating correctly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim. Ð
Warning lights and buzzers/chimes Make sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes are
functioning correctly. Ð
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering
operation, such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange noises. Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in) Ð
Seat belts Check 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 of damage. MA-46
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.
Windshield washer fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-22
Engine oil level Check the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine. MA-21
Brake and clutch fluid level Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the ªMAXº and
ªMINº lines on the reservoir. MA-36/MA-40
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ªMAXº and ªMINº lines. Ð
