6. Check A/T fluid condition and make any necessary repairs. Refer to AT-53, "
Fluid Condition Check" . If
the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if the A/T is repaired, overhauled, or
replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator. Refer to AT-17, "
A/T Fluid Cooler
Cleaning" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidELS00220
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran-
saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid" .

ing 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 specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.

Check the retractor for smooth operation.

Check the function of the buckles by inserting the seat belt tongue and checking for proper engagement of
the buckle and press the button on the buckle to check for proper release of the seat belt tongue.
CAUTION:

After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached com-
ponents, such as the guide rail set. NISSAN recommends replacing all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless they are not damaged and are inspected to confirm they are operating
properly after a minor collision.
Also inspect all seat belt assemblies that are not in use during a collision, and replace any compo-
nents if damaged or not operating properly. The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if
the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision where the driver and passenger air bags
have been deployed.

If any component of the seat belt assembly is suspected of being damaged or not operating prop-
erly, do not repair the component. Replace the components as an assembly.

If the seat belt webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged then replace the seat belt assembly.

Never lubricate the seat belt buckle or tongue.

When replacing any seat belt assembly always use a Genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
