Aiming AdjustmentNKS003RH
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting screw.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of fog lamp
lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge
of the high intensity zone is in the figure.
When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
Explanation of General MaintenanceNLS0007A
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
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
ItemReference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge, including the spare, at least once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if
necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Wheel nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.—
WindshieldClean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.—
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).MA-35
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed.MA-33,
FSU-6
(2WD),
FSU-24
(AWD)
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hoodCheck that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the
trunk lid. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary.
Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the pri-
mary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently.MA-38
LampsMake sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. —

RotationNLS00088

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-4, "
GENERAL MAINTENANCE" .

Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS00089

If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0008A

Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0008B
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 to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Refill with recommended genuine Nissan Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.Tightening torque of wheel nut

PEDAL STROKE

Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS

Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash, etc.) of each component are normal.

Check the following:
–Device assembly for bend, damage and cracks. Replace if there are.
–Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if there are.
–Parking brake switch. Replace if it does not work correctly.
ADJUSTMENT

To perform adjustment operations, remove rear tires from vehicle with power tool.
1. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting
nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake pedal.
2. Secure disc rotor to hub using wheel nut so as not to tilt disc
rotor.
3. Remove adjuster hole plug installed on the disc rotor. Turn the
adjuster in direction “A” using a flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown, until disc rotor is locked. Turn the adjuster in the oppo-
site direction by 5 or 6 notches after locking.
4. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Install the
adjuster hole plug.
5. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. Operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with the force of
full stroke.
b. Rotate adjusting nut to adjust parking brake pedal stroke using a
deep socket wrench.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
c. Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure the pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
d. Make sure that there is no drag on rear brake with parking brake pedal completely released.Pedal stroke : 3 - 4 notches
