Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001375288
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001375289
Use recommended brake fluid when adding fluid to the clutch reservoir tank. Refer to MA-19, "Fluids
and Lubricants".
Do not reuse fluid drained from clutch system.
Do not splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Use new brake fluid to clean or wash all parts of master cylinder and operating cylinder.
Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic
system.
If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric slave cylinder).
Return CSC to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may
damage CSC seal and may cause clutch fluid leakage.
Do not disassemble clutch master cylinder and CSC.
WARNING:
After cleaning clutch disc, clean it with a dust collector. Do not use compressed air.

COMPONENTS
CAUTION:
If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric slave cylinder).
Return CSC insert to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding
parts may damage CSC seal and may cause clutch fluid leakage.
Be careful not to apply any grease to the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel sur-
face.
REMOVAL
1. Remove transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to TM-633, "Removal and Installation" (5MT) or TM-
681, "Removal and Installation" (6MT).
2. Loosen clutch cover bolts evenly. Then remove clutch cover and clutch disc.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT AFTER REMOVAL
Clutch Disc
Check clutch disc for backlash of spline and runout of facing.
Check clutch disc for burns, discoloration or oil or grease leakage.
Replace if necessary.
Measure backlash to clutch disc spline and input shaft spline at the
circumference of clutch disc. If outside the specification, replace
clutch disc.
1. Flywheel 2. Clutch disc *1, *2 3. Clutch cover
Apply lithium-based grease including molybdenum disulphide.
*1. Do not clean in solvent. *2. When installing, be careful that grease applied to input shaft does not adhere to
clutch disc.

Maximum backlash of spline
(at outer edge of disc): 1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Distance of runout check point
(from hub center): 215 mm (8.46 in)
Maximum allowable spline backlash : 1.0 mm (0.039 in)

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
Tap Tool to insert it (1), and then slide it by tapping on the side (2)
as shown.
In areas where Tool is difficult to use, use plastic hammer to lightly
tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason suitable tool such as screw-
driver is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket applica-
tion surface and the mating surface, using scraper.
Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-27, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants".
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.
If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liquid gasket to the groove.
As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of service manual.
Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Do not retighten nuts or bolts after the installation.
After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.

Checking Radiator CapINFOID:0000000001534602
Check valve seat of radiator cap.
- Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
- Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of radi-
ator cap negative-pressure valve.
- Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and
closing conditions.
Check radiator cap relief pressure using suitable tool.
- When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the cap seal surface.
- Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the negative-
pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the stan-
dard values.
Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking RadiatorINFOID:0000000001534603
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.
Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud
and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm
2, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
WARNING:
Use a protector to prevent a burn during the work.
Thermostat
Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat
(1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.
The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
After checking the maximum valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
If out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
Check for leaks of engine coolant using suitable tools. Refer to CO-11, "
Inspection".
Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
