FUEL FILTER
lIf air cannot be bled easily (pumping of priming pump does not become heavy), disconnect feed-side of
hose between fuel filter and electronically controlled fuel pump. After that, operate priming pump and con-
firm that fuel comes out.
CAUTION:
Prepare a tray to collect fuel. Prevent fuel from adhering to rubber parts, especially the engine
mounting insulator.
Draining Water from Fuel FilterEBS01E75
1. Prepare a tray (A) under the drain plug (1).
2. Loosen drain plug (1), and operate priming pump (2) to drain
water from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
lWater in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
lDrained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mounting insulator.
3. Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
4. After draining, close drain plug to specified torque.
CAUTION:
If drain plug is tightened excessively, it may be damaged and fuel will leak.
5. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer toFL-5, "
Air Bleeding".
6. Start engine and make sure there is no fuel leakage.Drain plug

GI
lTo prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
lDispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
lDo not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
lClean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
lReplace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
lReplace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
lArrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
lDo not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
lAfter disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
lUse only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
lUse approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
lUse tools and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
lWhen repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
lBefore servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystEAS001GL
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
lUse unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
lWhen checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.
lDo not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for FuelEAS001GM
GASOLINE ENGINE
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON).

REAR WINDOW GLASS AND MOLDING
2. Apply a protective tape around the rear window glass to protect the painted surface from damage.
lIf the window glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with mating marks.
lRemove the glass using piano wire or power cutting tool and an inflatable pump bag.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent
glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
lDo not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
lUse a genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the instructions fur-
nished with it.
lWhile the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced
out by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
lCheck gap along bottom to confirm that glass does not contact sheet metal.
lInform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely
cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
lInstall parts removed.
WARNING:
lKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
lThe materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes.
lUse in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if
inhaled. If affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air.
lDriving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the perfor-
mance of the glass in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
lDo not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six
months after the date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date
printed on the box.
lKeep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
lDo not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.
lThe vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will
increase under lower temperatures and lower humidities.
Repairing Water Leaks for Rear window Glass
Leaks can be repaired without removing or reinstalling glass.
If water is leaking between urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.
This can be done by applying water to the rear window area while pushing glass outward.
To stop leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
