INSPECTION
1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.
* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on
the rear of the vehicle. Then have the person on the rear of
the vehicle slowly get off. This is necessary to stabilize sus-
pension deflection.
3. Adjust length ``L'' as follows:
a. Loosen stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
b. Pull lever against stopper bolt and adjust by turning stopper
bolt.
c. Tighten stopper bolt locknut (2WD JIDOSHA KIKI make).
Length ``L'':
2WD models
Approx. 187.3 mm (7.37 in)
4WD models
Approx. 158.1 mm (6.22 in)
4. Install pressure gauge to front and rear brake air bleeder.
5. Bleed air from the Tool.
6. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50
kg/cm
2, 711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422
psi) and check rear brake pressure.
Rear brake pressure:
Refer to table below.
7. Set down weight slowly over axle center so that sensor
spring length becomes the same as when in loaded condi-
tion (refer to table below). Check rear brake pressure in the
same way described in step 6.

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 steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring har-
ness 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal 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.
