1999 NISSAN PRIMERA steering wheel adjustment

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along
with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL P11 is as follows (The
composition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
lFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the
steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side),
front seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
lFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of
front seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a
frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
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 should 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. For removal of Spiral Cable and
Air Bag Module, see the RS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Brake System
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
lTo clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to ªBrake Burnishing Procedureº, ªCheck and
Adjustmentº, BR-7.
WARNING:
lClean brake pads with a waste cloth, then wipe with a
dust collector.

INSPECITON
Pedal stroke
Check clutch pedal stroke using a 1-meter rule to measure the total pedal stroke. Place end of rule onto the
middle of the clutch pedal pad. Place a book/clipboard on the driver's set to set a reference point, ensure
the book/clipboard does not move during pedal depression. Mark (A) the pedal fully up position on the rule.
Depress the clutch pedal and mark (B) the rule again next to the reference point on the book/clipboard.
Measure the distance between the marks (A and B), this is the actual pedal stroke (S). Check the specified
pedal stroke in the table, adjust actual pedal stroke if necessary (refer toªADJUSTMENTº).
Note:
lDo not use steering wheel as a reference point, angle gives incorrect reading.
lEnsure there is no interference between the floor carpet and clutch pedal when fully depressed.
Pedal free play
Check pedal free play. If out of specification, refer toªADJUSTMENTº.
lPush on the clutch pedal until resistance is felt, and check the distance the pedal moves.
ADJUSTMENT
Pedal stroke
1. Loosen the pedal stopper bolt completely (so there is no contact between pedal and stopper bolt).
2. Adjust pedal stroke to the specified value with the master cylinder push rod.
3. Adjust the pedal stopper bolt until it is just in contact with the pedal, then tighten the lock nut.
4. Once stroke is set to specification, adjust clutch pedal free play.
Pedal free play
1. Adjust pedal free play to the specified value with the master cylinder push rod.
2. Tighten lock nut of the master cylinder push rod.
lPush on the clutch pedal until resistance is felt, and check the distance the pedal moves.
Pedal free play ªAº:
Refer to SDS, CL-16.
