OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the audio system OFF.
3. While pressing the “4” button, turn the volume control dial clock- wise or counterclockwise for 30 clicks or more. (When the self-
diagnosis mode is started, a short beep will be heard.)
Shifting from current screen to previous screen is performed
by pressing “BACK” button.
Mode Description
Self Diagnosis (DCU) Display control unit diagnosis
Analyzes connection between the display control unit and each unit, and
operation of each unit.

vehicle and turning angle of the vehicle mark on the display.
Speed
Calibration Under ordinary conditions, the navigation system distance measuring func-
tion will automatically compensate for minute decreases in wheel and tire
diameter caused by tire wear or low-pressure. Speed Calibration can im-
mediately restore system accuracy in cases such as when distance calibra-
tion is needed because of the use of tire chains.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612918
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, 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 NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000001612920
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000001327604
Clean dust on front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. MA-9, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use new brake fluid.
Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
Use a flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench when installing brake
tube.
When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect connec- tors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery neg-
ative terminal.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to BR-23, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure" (Front disc brake),
BR-29, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure" (Rear disc brake).
WARNING:
Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cl oth, then clean with a dust collector.

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torq ue member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspe nd cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep rotor clean, from brake fluid.
Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft

upper side of pad retainer. When installing pad to torque
member, be sure to install pad return lever to pad wear sen-
sor securely.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, care-
fully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to master cylinder
reservoir tank.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-18, "
Component".
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nuts. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.

Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axle end
play is within the sp ecification. Refer to FA X - 4 , "
On-Vehicle
Inspection" (2WD models), FA X - 11 , "On-Vehicle Inspection"
(AWD models).
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
4. If runout is still outside the limit after performing the above operation, replace or lathe the disc rotor.
[When lathing, use the Pro-Cut PFM On-Car Br ake Lathe (Tool No, 38-PFM90.5) or equivalent.]
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is out-
side the specification, replace disc rotor.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000001327632
Burnish brake pad contact surfaces of disc rotor according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does no t operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicl e within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
