2007 NISSAN FRONTIER steering

WARNING
Always drive the vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner according to traffic con-
ditions and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine when the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle points to C. Al-
low the engine to idle until the gauge needle
points between the C and H (normal oper-
ating temperature) .
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h) , then quickly release the accelerator
pedal completely and keep it released for at
least 10 seconds.
3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a
moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed of
53 - 60 MPH (86 - 96 km/h) for at least 9
minutes.
4. Stop the vehicle.
5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55 km/h)
and maintain the speed for 20 seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 at least 10 times.
7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h)
and maintain the speed for at least 3 min-
utes.8. Stop the vehicle. Place the transmission se-
lector lever in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position.
9. Turn the engine off.
10. Repeat steps1-8atleast one more time.
If steps 1 through 7 are interrupted, repeat the
preceding step. Any safe driving mode is accept-
able between steps. Do not stop the engine until
step 7 is completed.Your vehicle is equipped with a variety of
computers that monitor and control a num-
ber of systems to optimize performance
and help service technicians with diagno-
sis and repair. Some of the computers
monitor emission control systems, braking
systems, engine systems, transmission
systems, tire pressure systems, and airbag
systems. Some data about vehicle opera-
tion may be stored in the computers for use
during servicing. Other data may be stored
if a crash event occurs. For example, ve-
hicle speed, brake application, steering
angle, air bag readiness, air bag perfor-
mance, and seat belt use by the driver or
passenger may be recorded. These types of
systems are sometimes called Event Data
Recorders.
Special equipment can be used to access
the electronic data that may be stored in
the vehicle’s computers (sounds are not
recorded) . NISSAN and NISSAN dealers
have equipment to access some of this
data; others may also have this equipment.
The data may be retrieved during routine
vehicle servicing or for special research. It
might also be accessed with the consent of
the vehicle owner or lessee, in response to
a request by law enforcement, or as other-
wise required or permitted by law.
