Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS0019N
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WAR NIN G:
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 must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 SRS section.
lDo 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 by yellow harness connector.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS0019O
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe 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.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tubes.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.
lBefore working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
connectors for the ESP/TCS/ABS actuator and control unit or
the battery terminals.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer toBR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure".
WAR NIN G:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS0019P
lDuring the EPS/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates lightly and its mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
lJust after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.
lThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough,
gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
lIf a malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp, or other warning lamps, collect the necessary infor-
mation from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and find out the possible
causes before starting the service. Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster operation,
brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
lIf the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine
parts, the stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
lIf there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near the control unit, the ESP/TCS/
ABS function may have a malfunction or error.
lIf aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check the electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.

PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
PFP:00001
CautionEES0006Z
lWhen installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires
on flat, level ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
l“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare tire,
jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
lAfter installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
lReplace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.
Precautions for Brake SystemEES000JA
lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out
under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel align-
ment and adjust if necessary.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WA RN ING:
lAlways perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
lMake sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of tread (rear side) of both tires at the
same height as hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180degrees
(1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the
above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle
backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
STEERING ANGLE INSPECTION
1. Set wheels in straight-ahead position. Move vehicle to set front wheels on turning radius gauge.
2. Turn steering wheel fully to right and left, and measure steering angle. Refer toPS-35, "
SERVICE DATA
AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS)".

Removal and InstallationEES00076
REMOVAL
1. Remove steering knuckle from transverse link. Refer toFAX-7, "REMOVAL".
2. Remove mounting nuts and washers on lower portion of stabilizer connecting rod.
3. Slightly loosen transverse link mounting bolts.
4. Remove compression rod bracket mounting bolts.
5. Remove transverse link mounting bolts and nuts, and remove transverse link from suspension member.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace the entire transverse
link assembly if cracks, deformation or any other damage is found.
Ball Joint Inspection
CAUTION:
Before measurement, move the ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
Oscillating Torque Inspection
lHook spring scale at cotter pin mounting hole. Confirm spring
scale measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
lIf the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Sliding Torque Inspection
lAttach mounting nut to ball stud. Check that sliding torque is
within specifications with a preload gauge.
lIf the value is outside the standard, replace transverse link.
Axial Endplay Inspection
lMove tip of ball joint in axial direction to check for looseness.
lIf any looseness is noted, replace transverse link.
INSTALLATION
lRefer toFSU-5, "Components"for tightening torque. Tighten in the reverse order of removal.
lWhen installing transverse link, confirm stopper rubber is properly installed (behind front bushing collar).
lTighten transverse link mounting bolts with vehicle unladen and all four tires on flat, level ground.

Aiming AdjustmentEKS003CG
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp
tester. Aimers should be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with respective operation man-
uals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
lKeep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
lPlace vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
lSee that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other
than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
