UNDERCOATING
The underside of the floor and wheelhouse are undercoated to prevent rust, vibration, noise and stone chip-
ping. Therefore, when such a panel is replaced or repaired, apply undercoating to that part. Use an undercoat-
ing which is rust preventive, soundproof, vibration-proof, shock-resistant, adhesive, and durable.
Precautions in undercoating
1. Do not apply undercoating to any place unless specified (such as the areas above the muffler and three
way catalyst which are subjected to heat).
2. Do not undercoat the exhaust pipe or other parts which become hot.
3. Do not undercoat rotating parts.
4. Apply bitumen wax after applying undercoating.

Foam RepairEIS004TG
During factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the
vehicle. Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.
URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS
Use commercially available spray foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle. Read
instructions on product for fill procedures.
FILL PROCEDURES
1. Fill procedures after installation of service part.
–Remove foam material remaining on vehicle side.
–Clean area in which foam was removed.
–Install service part.
–Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill in enough to close gap with the service
part.
2. Fill procedures before installation of service part.
–Remove foam material remaining on vehicle side.
–Clean area in which foam was removed.
–Fill foam material on wheelhouse outer side.
NOTE:
Fill in enough to close gap with service part while avoiding
flange area.
–Install service part.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS004VW
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 SystemEFS004VX

Always use recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.

Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.

Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.

Always check tightening torque when installing brake lines.

Before working, turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect con-
nectors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
terminals.

Burnish 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 to BR-25, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
WARNING:

Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.SBR686C

Bleeding Brake SystemEFS004W4
CAUTION:
While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery
negative cable.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to BR-21, "
Components" (front disc brake), BR-27,
"Components" (rear disc brake).
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 at each wheel, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air in order from the front left, rear left, and front right bleed valves.

2. Apply brake fluid to piston and piston boot, then install piston
boot in to piston groove.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Insert into cylinder body by hand and insert piston boot piston-side lip into piston groove. CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and vary the pressing point to prevent cylinder body inner wall from being
rubbed.
4. Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to torque member.
CAUTION:
Trailing/upper sliding pin must be replaced at each service.
5. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolt to the specification. Refer to BR-21, "
Components" .
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any of them is detected, replace
applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using 2 or more wheel nuts, temporarily install disc rotor to wheel hub.
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. (Measured at 10mm (0.39 in)
inside the disc edge.)
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifi-
cations before measuring runout. Refer to FA X - 5 , "
WHEEL
BEARING INSPECTION" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one
hole.
4. If runout still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake lathe.
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is
either at or below the wear limit, or exceeds maximum uneven wear,
replace disc rotor.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
Burnish brake contact surface according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing rotors, after
replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
