Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS001NY
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 and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WAR NIN G:
lTo 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow harness connector.
PrecautionsEIS001NZ
lDisconnect both battery cables in advance.
lDisconnect air bag system line in advance.
lNever tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
lBe careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
lWhen removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, which
may get in the way with cloth.
lWhen removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
lKeep removed parts protected with cloth.
lIf a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
lIf an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
lTighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
lAfter re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
lRemove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
lDo not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

lDo not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to the measurement terminals.
lUse the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0V or less.
Precautions For Harness RepairEKS001U2
CAN SYSTEM
lSolder the repaired parts, and wrap with tape. [Frays of twisted
line must be within 110 mm (4.33 in)]
lDo not perform bypass wire connections for the repair
parts.(The spliced wire will become separated and the charac-
teristics of twisted line will be lost.)

PrecautionEKS003KS
lDo not touch the glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep grease and other oily matters away from it. Do not
touch bulb by hand while it is lit or right after being turned off. Burning may result.
lDo not leave bulb out of headlamp reflector for a long time because dust, moisture smoke, etc. may affect
the performance of the headlamp. When replacing the bulb, be sure to replace it with a new one.
lAdjust aiming by tightening aiming screw. (To adjust it toward loosening side, first loosen adjusting screw,
and then make adjustment by tightening.)
lTo remove soil or sealant of bulbs, do not use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.)
lWhen replacing bulb, be sure to hold bulb socket and pull it out straight. If wiring harness of the bulb is
pulled at an angle, the bulb may be caught in the lamp, making it difficult to take out.

General MaintenanceELS000AL
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 periodically when at a service station, includ-
ing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. 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, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door operate prop-
erly. Also ensure 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
lubrication frequently.BL-4
,BL-8
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).MA-38
Item Reference page
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim.—
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, 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.SB-3
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.CO-9

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (QR20DE PETROL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,.
NOTE:
lMaintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
l(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
l(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
l(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I"
(Checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
l(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
l(5) Perform only according to "Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions" for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.
