HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
GI-7

If you have to tow an automatic transmission model
with four wheels on ground or tow an automatic
transmission model with front wheels raised (with rear
wheels on ground)
Observe the following restricted towing speeds, distances and rais-
ing heights.
+Speed: Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
+Distance: Less than 65 km (40 miles)
+Do not raise the front end over!.
Wagon
!= 600 mm (23.62 in)
Hardtop
!= 500 mm (19.69 in)
If the speed, distance or height must necessarily be greater,
remove the propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the
transmission.
CAUTION:
+Never tow your vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with
four wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.
+Be sure to place the transfer case shift lever into the ``2H''
position and the transmission shift lever into the neutral
(``N'') position if the vehicle is to be towed.
TOWING HOOKS
The towing hooks are provided only for emergency.
+Use the towing hooksonly, not other parts of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
+Use the towing hooksonlyto free a vehicle stuck in sand,
snow, mud, etc.Nevertow the vehicle for long distances using
only the towing hooks.
+The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free
a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front
or rear of the vehicle.Neverpull on the hook at a sideways
angle.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-2

Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
+Check ¯uid level with engine off.
+Check ¯uid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at ¯uid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at ¯uid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
``DEXRON
TMIII'' or equivalent.
+Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, cha®ng or deterioration.
+Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering ¯uid.
Checking Steering Damper
Check steering damper for damage and oil leakage.
Checking Steering Gear Box and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
+Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
+Check connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
+Check ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear, damage or grease leakage.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER''
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ``AIR BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision.
The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition var-
ies according to the destination.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air bag module (located
on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp,
wiring harness and spiral cable.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof 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 in¯ation, all maintenance must be performed
by an authorized NISSAN 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 RS section.
+Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just before
the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for Steering System
+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
becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
+Place disassembled parts in order, on a parts rack, for easier and proper assembly.
+Use nylon cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might
interfere with their operation.
+Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-¯ammable
solvent.
+Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF* to hydraulic parts. Vaseline may be applied
to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
+Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during instal-
lation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION

Checking and Adjusting Drive Belts
Refer to MA section (``Checking Drive Belts'', ``ENGINE MAINTE-
NANCE'').
Checking Fluid Level
Check ¯uid level.
Use the correct range of the dipstick depending on the ¯uid tem-
perature. Use the ``HOT'' range at 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF), or the
``COLD'' range at 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
+Do not over®ll.
+Recommended ¯uid is Automatic Transmission Fluid type
DEXRON
TMIII or equivalent.
Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, cha®ng and deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of ¯uid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC
(140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ``lock'' position for ®ve seconds and
carefully check for ¯uid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If ¯uid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen ¯are nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
