2001 NISSAN ALMERA TINO adding oil

NBR376
Checking Brake Fluid LevelNLBR0006+Check fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
+If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
+Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for leaks.
SBR389C
Checking Brake LineNLBR0007CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
SBR419C
Changing Brake FluidNLBR0008CAUTION:
+Refill with new brake fluid“DOT 4”.
+Always keep fluid level higher than minimum line on res-
ervoir tank.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal while keeping reservoir level higher than minimum
line by adding new brake fluid.
4. Repeat until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder
valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to“Bleeding Brake System”, BR-8 and“Air
Bleeding Procedure”, CL-10.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureNLBR0036Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following pro-
cedure after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or
if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a
complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot

Service NoticeNLBT0001+When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
+Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to oil
or damage them.
+Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
+When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
+When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust pre-
vention measures.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NLBT0002The 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 V10 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing 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.
+For 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:
+To 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.
+Improper 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.
+Do 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.

Removal and InstallationNLBT0004+When removing or installing hood, place a cloth or other padding on hood. This prevents vehicle body from
being scratched.
+Bumper fascia is made of plastic. Do not use excessive force and be sure to keep oil away from it.
+Hood adjustment: Adjust at hinge portion.
+Hood lock adjustment: After adjusting, check hood lock control operation. Apply a coat of grease to hood
locks engaging mechanism.
+Hood opener: Do not attempt to bend cable forcibly. Doing so increases effort required to unlock hood.

6. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.
+Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Compression pressure: kPa (bar, kg/cm
2, psi)/rpm
Standard
1,324 (13.24, 13.5, 192)/350
Minimum
1,128 (11.28, 11.5, 164)/350

98 (0.98, 1.0, 14)/350
10. If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and retest compression.
+If adding oil improves cylinder compression, piston rings
may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after
checking piston.
+If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. Refer
to SDS, EM-70. If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
+If compression in any two adjacent cylinders is low and if add-
ing oil does not improve compression, there is leakage past the
gasket surface. If so, replace cylinder head gasket.
11. Reinstall spark plugs, ignition coils and fuel pump fuse.
12. Perform ªSelf-diagnosis Procedureº referring to EC-69, ªHow
to Erase DTCº if any DTC appears.

or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking pis-
ton.
+If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
