Removal and InstallationECS0 01 W I
Carefully observe the following steps during clutch tube removal and installation.
lDo not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected area
with water.
lTo fix clutch hose on the bracket, position hose clasp on the
bracket locating embossment and drive the lock plate vertically
from above. Be careful not to bend or twist the hose. Do not
scratch or damage the clutch hose.
lTighten clutch tube flare nut to the specified torque below:
lTighten clutch hose union bolt to the specified torque:
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the copper washer.
lAfter installation, bleed the clutch tube. Refer toCL-8, "Air Bleeding Procedure"

If contaminated, flush engine cooling system. Refer toCO-32,
"FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM".
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug and cylinder block drain plug.
Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
lUse Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
2. Fill radiator slowly with coolant until coolant spills from the air
relief plugs, then install air relief plugs.
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being
mixed in the coolant. Be sure to fill the coolant slowly
according to the rate indicated above.
lReplace the copper washer of the air bleeding plug.
lUse genuine Nissan anti-freeze coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer toMA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lPour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.

General MaintenanceELS000AL
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them for a nominal charge.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.
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.Item Reference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, includ-
ing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive 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 operate prop-
erly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure
that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for
lubrication frequently.BL-4

Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).MA-38
Item Reference page
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim.—
Warning lamps and
chimesMake sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. —
Steering wheelCheck that it has the specified play.
Check for changes in the steering conditions, 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.SB-3

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (YD22DDTI)
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug and cylinder block drain plug.
Apply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.
lUse Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
2. Fill radiator slowly with coolant until coolant spills from the air
relief plugs, then install air relief plugs.
CAUTION:
If the filling rate is too fast, this could lead to air being
mixed in the coolant. Be sure to fill the coolant slowly
according to the rate indicated above.
lReplace the copper washer of the air bleeding plug.
lUse genuine Nissan anti-freeze coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer toMA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lPour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.
3. Fill reservoir tank to specified level.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature without radia-
tor cap installed.
lIf coolant overflows radiator filler hole, install filler cap.
5. Run engine at 3,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle speed
with radiator cap installed.
lRepeat two or three times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
6. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately
50°C(122°F).
lCool down using a fan to reduce the time.
lIf necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with coolant.
7. Refill reservoir tank to MAX level line with coolant.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until coolant level no longer drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
