Pull the negative pressure valve to open it.
Check that it closes completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
Testing pressure:
157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator dam-
age.
Water Pump
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Drain coolant from radiator.
2. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left front of cylin-
der block and drain coolant.
3. Remove front RH wheel and engine side cover.
4. Remove drive belts.
5. Remove front engine mounting.
6. Remove water pump.
CAUTION:

When removing water pump assembly, be careful not to
get coolant on drive belt.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be
replaced as a unit.

After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp
securely, then check for leaks using radiator cap tester.
7. Before installing, remove all traces of liquid gasket from mat-
ing surface of water pump using a scraper.

Also remove traces of liquid gasket from mating surface
of cylinder block.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-4

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.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically, unless otherwise specified.
TiresCheck 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 exces-
sive 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
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-54
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). MA-53
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 correctly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes
are functioning correctly.
Steering wheelCheck 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.)
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-54
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.
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-24 / MA-34 /
MA-45
Brake and clutch fluid levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between
the“MAX”and“MIN”lines on the reservoir.MA-51 / MA-48
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the“MAX”and“MIN”lines.
