c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other (as shown in
the figure).
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
unbalance values are 10 g (0.35 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 10 g (0.35 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):
RotationEES000J3

After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pressure.

Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tyre, etc.).
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten the wheel nuts diagonally
by dividing the work two to three times in order to prevent
the wheels from developing any distortion.
Maximum allowable
unbalanceDynamic (At rim flange) Less than 10 g (0.35 oz) (one side)
Static (At rim flange) Less than 20 g (0.70 oz)

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS002F9
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:

To 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.

Improper 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.

Do 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 Brake SystemEFS000BZ

Clean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air.

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on painted areas, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.

Use only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components.

Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.

Always use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake
tube flare nuts.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the related parts. If damage,
deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace affected
parts with new ones.

Before starting operation, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF
and disconnect the ABS actuator and control module connector
or battery cables.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.SBR820BA

4. Be sure there is no foreign material in reservoir tank. Refill with
new brake fluid.
5. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
6. Rest foot on brake pedal. Loosen bleed valve. Slowly depress
pedal until it stops. Tighten bleed valve. Release brake pedal.
Repeat this process a few times at 2-3 second intervals until
new brake fluid flows out.
For bleeding procedure. Refer to BR-9, "
Bleeding Brake Sys-
tem" .
Bleeding Brake SystemEFS000C4
CAUTION:

Carefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder during bleeding operation.

Fill reservoir with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”. Make sure it is full at all times while bleed-
ing air out of system.

Place a container under master cylinder to avoid spillage of brake fluid.

While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.

For models with ABS, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator connectors or bat-
tery ground cable.

Bleed air in the following order.
Right rear brake, left front brake, left rear brake, right front brake
1. Turn OFF ignition switch. Remove ABS actuator connector.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
3. Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen air bleeder and bleed air.
5. Close bleed valve.
6. Slowly release brake pedal.
7. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque.
8. Repeat steps 2 - 7. Occasionally refill master cylinder reservoir tank. Be sure to keep it at least half-full.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:

Do not allow brake fluid to spill or splash on painted surfaces. Brake fluid can seriously damage
paint. If it gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately and wash it away with water.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

Cover brake fluid line joints to prevent dust and other foreign material.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from bleed valve of each wheel while depressing brake pedal.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from brake hose.
4. Remove lock spring.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
