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.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR SELF-DIAGNOSTIC ITEMS
Diagnostic Procedure 1
(Wheel sensor or rotor) (Cont'd)
BR-64
Bulb Replacement
The headlamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replace-
able halogen bulb. The bulb can be replaced from the engine
compartment side without removing the headlamp body.
lGrasp only the plastic base when handling the bulb.
Never touch the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the battery cable.
2. Disconnect the harness connector from the back side of the
bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap.
4. Push and raise retaining pin to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlamp bulb carefully. Do not shake or rotate
the bulb when removing it.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not leave headlamp reflector without bulb for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering head-
lamp body may affect the performance of the headlamp.
Remove headlamp bulb from the headlamp reflector just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. Aimers should
be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with
respective operation manuals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as
follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
c. See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil
filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other than the
driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to ``0'' when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming
control.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day opera-
tion of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can per-
form the checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
specified.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically 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 bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links 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 fre-
quently.MA-39
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for 2WD models and every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models.MA-35
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.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
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.MA-40
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 fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-16, 25
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine.MA-19, 24
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the
``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines on the reservoir.MA-32, 35
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines. Ð
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA-4
Tire Rotation
lAfter rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure.
lRetighten the wheel nuts after the aluminum wheel has
been run for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) or if a flat tire
occurs.
Wheel nuts:
: 118 - 147 N´m (12 - 15 kg-m, 87 - 108 ft-lb)
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake System
Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasion, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each air bleeder
valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system
to refill brake fluid. Refer to BR section.
lRefill with recommended brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4).
Refer to ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'',
MA-12.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force (For
power steering)
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine and run at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be inflated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
PB48S-type
24.5 - 29.4 N (2.5 - 3.0 kg, 5.5 - 6.6 lb)
PB59K-type
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check
the following:
a. Hydraulic system. Refer to ``Checking Hydraulic System'',
ST-7.
b. Steering Column. Refer to ST-10.
c. Front suspension and axle. Refer to FA section (``Front Axle
and Front Suspension Parts'', ``ON-VEHICLE SERVICE'').
d. Steering gear turning torque. Refer to ``TURNING TORQUE
MEASUREMENT'', ST-19 (PB48S), or ST-27 (PB59K).
Checking Steering Wheel Play
lPlace wheels in a straight ahead position and check steer-
ing wheel play.
Steering wheel play:
35 mm (1.38 in) or less
lIf it is not within specification, check the following for loose
or worn components.
a. Steering column. Refer to ST-10.
b. Front suspension and axle. Refer to FA section (``Front Axle
and Front Suspension Parts'', ``ON-VEHICLE SERVICE'').
c. Steering gear. [Refer to ST-13 (manual steering),ST-19
(power steering PB48S), or ST-27 (power steering PB59K).]
