TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
+Always perform the following procedure on a ¯at surface.
+Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance ``A'' (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees
(1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance ``B'' (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
7. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of steering tie-rod.
(1) Loosen lock nuts.
(2) Adjust toe-in by screwing tie-rod in and out.
Make sure both tie-rods are the same length.
(3) Tighten lock nuts to speci®ed torque.
Lock nut tightening torque:
Refer to ST section (``POWER STEERING GEAR
AND LINKAGE'').
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Turning angle is set by stroke length of steering gear rack and
cannot be adjusted.
1. Set wheels in straight-ahead position. Then move vehicle for-
ward until front wheels rest on turning radius gauge properly.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure turn-
ing angle.
Do not hold the steering wheel on full lock for more than 15
seconds.
Wheel turning angle (Full turn):
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
3. Adjust by stopper bolt if necessary.

Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
+All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
+It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
+Attach safety chains for all towing.
+When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
+When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the ``OFF'' position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ``LOCK''
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
+When towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground:
Release the parking brake and move the gearshift lever to
neutral (``N'' position).
+For 4-wheel drive models:
Set the manual-lock free-running hubs to the free position and
2-way lock free-running hubs to the auto position. (See
``
Transfer case shifting procedures for 4-wheel drive
vehicles'' in ``Starting and driving'' section.) Move the transfer
case shift lever into the ``2H'' position and the transmission shift
lever into the neutral (``N'') position.
Do not shift the transfer lever to the ``4L'' position. This will
cause damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated.
If you have to tow a manual transmission model with front
wheels raised (with rear wheels on ground)
Observe the following restricted raising heights.
+Do not raise the front end over!.
Wagon
!= 600 mm (23.62 in)
Hardtop
!= 500 mm (19.69 in)

+Pulley removal
Use any commercially available pulley puller and tool. Position
the center of it on the end of the tool, and remove the pulley
assembly.
For pressed pulleys
To prevent deformation of the pulley groove, the puller
claws should be hooked under the pulley (not into the
groove). For machine latched pulleys
Align the pulley puller groove with the pulley groove, and
then remove the pulley assembly.
+Remove the three ®eld coil ®xing screws and remove the ®eld
coil.
INSPECTION
Clutch disc:If the contact surface shows signs of damage due to
excessive heat, replace clutch disc and pulley.
Pulley:Check the appearance of the pulley assembly. Check the
contact surface of the pulley for any sign of excessive grooving due
to slippage. If any sign is found, replace both the pulley and clutch
disc. The contact surfaces of the pulley assembly should be
cleaned with a suitable solvent before reinstallation.
Coil:Check coil for loose connection or cracked insulation.
INSTALLATION
+Install the ®eld coil.
Be sure to align the coil's pin with the hole in the compres-
sor's front head.
+Install the pulley assembly using the installer and a hand press,
and then install the snap ring using snap ring pliers.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-2

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
speci®ed.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including the
spare, and adjust to the speci®ed pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or
excessive wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication fre-
quently.MA-27
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models. MA-25
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-27
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer ¯uidCheck that there is adequate ¯uid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-14, 15
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine.MA-13, 14
Brake and clutch ¯uid levelMake sure that the brake and clutch ¯uid levels are between the
``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines on the reservoir.MA-20, 23
BatteryCheck the ¯uid level in each cell. It should be between the ``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines. Ð
