WARNING:
lPosition vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
lPlace chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
lDo not remove engine until exhaust system has com-
pletely cooled off.

manner.
lFor 4WD models, apply sealant between engine and
transmission. Refer to MT section (``Removal and Instal-
lation'').

securely.
CAUTION:
lBefore disconnecting fuel hose of ECCS engine model, release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer
to ``Changing Fuel Filter'' in MA section.
lDo not disconnect any fuel line unless absolutely necessary.
lPlug hose and pipe openings to prevent entry of dust or dirt.
lAlways replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
lDo not kink or twist hose and tube when they are installed.
lDo not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
lWhen installing fuel check valve, be careful of its designated direction. (Refer to ``EVAPORATIVE
EMISSION SYSTEM'' in EC section.)
lTighten bolts to specified torque.
lAfter installation, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
lAlways perform the following procedure on a flat sur-
face.
lMake sure that no one is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires
at the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring
point.
4. Measure distance ``A'' (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
lIf the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2
turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning.
Never push vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance ``B'' (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS, FA-36.
7. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of both steering tie-rods.
a. Loosen clamp bolts or lock nuts.
b. Adjust toe-in by turning both the left and right tie-rod tubes
equal amounts.
Make sure that the tie-rod bars are screwed into the tie-rod
tube more than 35 mm (1.38 in).
Make sure that the tie-rods are the same length.
Standard length (A = B):
2WD
343.9 mm (13.54 in)
4WD
297.6 mm (11.72 in)
c. Tighten clamp bolts or lock nuts, then torque them.

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and
proper servicing. These precautions are not described in
each individual section.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) ``AIR BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the
driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System
consists of an air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness
and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system
safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
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 performed by an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit
related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness connectors or
for the complete harness, for easy identification.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) ``AIR BAG'' (2WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the
driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System
consists of an air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp and spiral
cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is

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.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit
related to the SRS.
SGI646
PRECAUTIONS
GI-1
lAfter disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to
indicate the proper connection.
lUse only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
lUse approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
lUse tools and recommended special tools where specified
for safe and efficient service repairs.
lWhen repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust
systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
lDispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts
in an appropriate manner.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes,
do not carelessly disconnect the harness connectors which
are related to the ECCS system and TCM (Transmission
Control Module) system. The connectors should be discon-
nected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC section.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection
System or ECCS Engine
lBefore connecting or disconnecting any harness connector
for the multiport fuel injection system or ECM (Engine Con-
trol Module):
Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
lBefore disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
lBe careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Three Way Catalyst
(If so equipped)
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the
catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this,
follow the instructions below:
lUse unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the three way catalyst.
lWhen checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
lDo not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise
the engine may misfire causing damage to the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.
Precautions for Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
