Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NLAT0002The Supplemental Restraint System ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº, used along with a seat
belt, help to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The
Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and
on the instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning
lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
In addition to the supplemental air bag modules for a frontal collision, the supplemental side air bag used along
with the seat belt helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a side col-
lision. The supplemental side air bag consists of air bag modules (located in the outer side of front seats),
satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of supplemental air bags for a frontal collision),
wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of supplemental 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 must be performed
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.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified with yellow harness connector (and with
yellow harness protector or yellow insulation tape before the harness connectors).
Precautions for On Board Diagnostic (EURO-
OBD) System of CVT and Engine
NLAT0198The ECM has an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MI) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
+Be sure to turn the ignition switch ªOFFº and disconnect the negative battery terminal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves, etc.
will cause the MI to light up.
+Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MI to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
+Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MI to light up due to a short circuit.
+Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MI to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
+Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
SEF289H
PrecautionsNLAT0003+Before connecting or disconnecting the TCM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the
TCM. Because battery voltage is applied to TCM even if
ignition switch is turned off.

FRONT AXLE PARTSNLAX0005Check front axle and front suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
+Shake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
+Make sure that cotter pin is inserted.
+Retighten all axle and suspension nuts and bolts to the speci-
fied torque.
Tightening torque:
Refer to SU-4, “FRONT SUSPENSION”.

PurposeNLBR0082The ABS consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows to control the braking force so that lock-
ing of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Ensures proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Enables obstacles to be avoided through steering wheel operation.
3) Ensures vehicle stability by preventing flat spins.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) OperationNLBR0083+When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
+The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has self-test capabilities. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second after turning the ignition switch ON. The system performs another test the first time the vehicle
reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs a self-test. This is a
normal part of the self-test feature. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will
come on.
+During ABS operation, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.

Inspection and AdjustmentNLCL0006CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTIONNLCL0006S04Pedal StrokeNLCL0006S0401Check clutch pedal stroke by 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 seat to set a ref-
erence 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 toªCLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENTº).
NOTE:
+Do not use steering wheel as a reference point, angle gives
incorrect reading.
+Ensure there is no interference between the floor carpet and
clutch pedal when fully depressed.
