Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksELS001IZ
lCheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.
lIf the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
lIf the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the cor-
rect level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking
brake switch.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesELS001J0
1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION:
If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake FluidELS001J1
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer toBR-10, "
BRAKE FLUID".
lRefill with recommended DOT 3 or DOT 4 (US FMVSS No.
11 6 ) .
Refer toMA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS".
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Checking Disc BrakeELS001J2
ROTOR
Check the condition of the rotor, and for any wear or damage. Repair
or replace as necessary.

Checking Steering Gear and LinkageELS001J3
STEERING GEAR
lCheck the steering gear housing for looseness, damage and oil
leakage as shown.
lCheck the steering column connections for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
lCheck the ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for looseness, wear, damage and grease leak-
age.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and LinesELS001J4
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
lCheck the power steering fluid level with the engine off.
lCheck fluid level on reservoir. Use “HOT” range at fluid tempera-
tures of 50°to 80°C(122°to 176°F). Use “COLD” range at fluid
temperatures of 0°to 30°C(32°to 86°F).
CAUTION:
lDo not overfill.
lFill with the recommended fluid or equivalent. Refer toMA-
14, "Fluids and Lubricants".
CHECKING LINES
lCheck lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing and deterioration.Standard thickness : 5.5 mm (0.22 in)

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
Trunk lid opening, sunroof opening, fender wheel-arch flange, fuel filler lid flange, around holes in panel, etc.
PARTS CONTACT
Waist moulding, windshield moulding, bumper, etc.
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.
