lFollow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service
intervals. Refer toMA-7, "
GENERAL MAINTENANCE".
lDo not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by divid-
ing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer toWT-6, "
Tire".
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles),
and also after a wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Checking Seat Belts, Buckles, Retractors, Anchors and Adjusters
ELS001J7
Check the seat belt buckles, webbing, retractors, anchors and adjusters. Replace any seat belt assembly as
necessary. Refer toSB-11, "
Seat Belt Inspection".
lCheck the seat belt anchors for loose mounting bolts, damage, or excessive wear.
lCheck the seat belt webbing for any damage, cuts, fraying, or excessive wear.
lCheck the retractor for smooth operation.
lCheck the function of the buckles by inserting the seat belt tongue and checking for proper engagement of
the buckle and press the button on the buckle to check for proper release of the seat belt tongue.
CAUTION:
lAfter any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached com-
ponents, such as the guide rail set. NISSAN recommends replacing all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless they are not damaged and are inspected to confirm they are operating
properly after a minor collision.
Also inspect all seat belt assemblies that are not in use during a collision, and replace any compo-
nents if damaged or not operating properly. The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if
the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision where the driver and passenger air bags
have been deployed.
lIf any component of the seat belt assembly is suspected of being damaged or not operating prop-
erly, do not repair the component. Replace the components as an assembly.
lIf the seat belt webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged then replace the seat belt assembly.
lNever lubricate the seat belt buckle or tongue.
lWhen replacing any seat belt assembly always use a Genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
Checking Body CorrosionELS001K3
Visually check body panels for collision damage (scratches, chipping, rubbing, etc.) or damage to the anti-cor-
rosion materials. In particular, check the following locations.
HEMMED PANELS
Hood front end, door lower end, trunk lid rear end, etc.
PANEL JOINT
Side sill of rear fender and center pillar, rear wheel housing of rear fender, around strut tower in engine com-
partment, etc.
PANEL EDGE

PROTECTORS
Damage or condition of mudguard, fender protector, chipping protector, etc.
ANTI-CORROSION MATERIALS
Damage or separation of anti-corrosion materials under the body.
DRAIN HOLES
Condition of drain holes at door and side sill. When repairing corroded areas, refer to the Corrosion Repair
Manual.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EGS001M0
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.
WARNING:
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 and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Steering SystemEGS001L9
lIn case of removing steering gear assembly, make the final tightening with grounded and unloaded vehi-
cle condition, and then check wheel alignment.
lObserve the following precautions when disassembling.
–Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
–Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becom-
ing contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
–For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
–Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere
with their operation.
–Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
–Before assembling, apply the specified grease to the directed parts.
