5. Bleed the air from the rear brake piping.
6. To adjust the LSV correctly, proceed as follows:
a. With unladen vehicle (12 liters of fuel, radiator coolant and
engine oil are full). Spare tire, hand tools and mats in desig-
nated positions. Check the length of LSV spring ªLº.
b. If the spring length is different from that specified, move the
regulation lever (2) until the specified value is obtained. Move
the LSV lever (1) until it contacts the stopper bolt and recheck
the spring length.
Sensor spring length ªLº
Hardtop: 201 mm (7.913 in)
Wagon: 197.5 mm (7.776 in)
NOTE: Do not disturb stopper bolt.
c. Start the engine and run it at idling speed.
d. Slowly depress the brake pedal until an input pressure of 4,805
kPa (48.1 bar, 49 kg/cm
2, 697 psi) is obtained (at the front axle
pressure gauge) and an output pressure of 1,736 - 2,501 kPa
(18 - 26 bar, 17.7 - 25.5 kg/cm
2, 252 - 363 psi) is obtained (at
the rear axle pressure gauge).
If the output pressure at the rear axle pressure gauge is not within
the specified values, adjust LSV spring length as described under
b) until the output pressure measured is within the specified range.

Bulb Replacement
The headlamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replacable
halogen bulb. The bulb can be replaced from the engine compart-
ment side without removing the headlamp body.
IGrasp 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. Press end of the retaining pin together to release bulb.
5. Remove the headlamp bulb. Do not shake or rotate the bulb
when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
IDo not leave the bulb out of the headlamp reflector for a
long period of time as dust, moisture, smoke, etc. may
enter the headlamp body and affect the performance of the
headlamp. Thus, the headlamp bulb should not be
removed from the headlamp reflector until just before a
replacement bulb is to be installed.
Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. For operating
instructions, of any aimer, it should be in good repair, calibrated and
used according to respective operation manuals supplied with the
unit.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as
follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
CAUTION:
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
c. See that there is noload in vehicle other than coolant,
engine oil filled up to correct level, full fuel tank and the
driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to ª0º when performing aiming
adjustment on vehicles equipped with headlamp aiming con-
trol.

Front Fog Lamp Aiming Adjustment
When performing fog lamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming
machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp tester. The aimer should
be in good operational condition, calibrated and used according to
the relevant operation manuals supplied with the unit.
If an aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as fol-
lows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
CAUTION:
IKeep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
IPlace vehicle and tester on one and the same flat surface.
IEnsure that there is no-load in the vehicle other than
coolant, engine oil (filled up to correct level), full fuel tank
and the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's posi-
tion).
For details of front fog lamp aiming adjustment, refer to ªAiming
Adjustmentº, EL-43.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-3
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 excessive
wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if not functioning correctly. Ð
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-45
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). MA-43
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.Ð
Warning lights and buzzers/chimesMake sure that all warning lights and buzzers/chimes are
functioning correctly.Ð
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)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 of damage.MA-46
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. MA-22
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle (on level ground) and turning off the
engine.MA-21
Brake and clutch fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the ªMAXº and
ªMINº lines on the reservoir.MA-36/MA-40
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ªMAXº and ªMINº lines. Ð

Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture.
Temperature:
60É - 80ÉC (140 - 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:
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
IIf steering wheel turning force is not within specification,
perform the following inspection procedure:

Checking Hydraulic System
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve, then bleed air. (Refer to ªBleed-
ing Hydraulic Systemº, ST-5.)
2. Run engine.
Make sure temperature of fluid in tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC (140
to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, oil pressure in oil pump will
increase to relief pressure, resulting in an abnormal rise in oil
temperature.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Oil pump maximum standard pressure:
TD27Ti engine
8,800 - 9,200 kPa (88 - 92 bar,
89 - 93 kg/cm
2, 1,276 - 1,334 psi)
ZD30DTi engine
9,800 - 10,500 kPa (98.0 - 105.0 bar,
99.96 - 107.10 kg/cm
2, 1,421 - 1,523 psi)
4. If oil pressure is below the maximum pressure, slowly close
shut-off valve and check pressure.
IWhen pressure reaches maximum pressure, gear is damaged.
IWhen pressure remains below maximum pressure, pump is
damaged.
CAUTION:
Do not close shut-off valve for more than 15 seconds.
5. If oil pressure is higher than maximum pressure, check oil
pump flow control valve.
6. After checking hydraulic system, remove Tool and add fluid if
necessary, then completely bleed air out of system.NST033
