6. Install the lower glove box in the instrument panel and secure it
with the two hinge pins.
Checking Exhaust SystemINFOID:0000000001606180
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connec tions, chafing or deterioration.
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000001606181
1. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
2. Before driving, the ATF level can be checked at ATF tempera-
tures of 30 ° to 50 °C (86° to 122° F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the shift selector through each gear position. Move the shift selector into the “P” position.
c. Check the ATF level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the ATF level gauge into the charging pipe until the cap contacts the top of the charging pipe as shown.
CAUTION:
To check ATF level, insert the ATF level gauge until the cap
contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position.
f. Remove the ATF level gauge and note the ATF level. If the ATF level is at low side of range, add ATF to the transmission
through the charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the tr ansmission with ATF.
g. Install the ATF level gauge and the ATF level gauge bolt.
3. Warm up the engine.
4. Check for any ATF leaks.

7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each
or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6, "
General Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighte n 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 wh eel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
Tire RotationINFOID:0000000001606189
1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back as shown.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to WT-51, "
Tire" .
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after a wheel
and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.
Checking Brake Flui d Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000001606190
• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” li nes on the reservoir tank.
• If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
• If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the correct
level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking brake
switch.
Wheel balance Dynamic (At flange) Static (At flange)
Maximum allowable un-
balance Refer to WT-46, "
Adjustment".
Wheel nut tightening
torque: 133 N·m (14 kg-m, 98 ft-lb)

INFORMATION DISPLAY : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001691279
FUNCTION
The information display can indicate the following items.
• Intelligent Key operation information
• Maintenance information
• Warning/Indication messages (Door/liftgate/liftgate glass open, low fuel, low washer fluid, parking brake, A/T
oil temp)
DOOR OPEN WARNING
This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the front door LH, front door RH, rear door LH, rear
door RH, back door or glass hatch is opened. The BCM receives a door switch signal from the front door
switch LH, front door switch RH, rear door switch LH, rear door switch RH, back door latch and glass hatch
ajar switch. The BCM sends the door switch signal to the combination meter via CAN communication lines.
Then, when the ignition switch is turned ON, the warning message is displayed.
LOW FUEL WARNING
This warning appears when the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than approximately 11.4 (3 US gal, 2.5 Imp
gal). A variable resistor signal is supplied to the combination meter from the fuel level sensor unit to determine
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WARNING
This warning appears when the windshield washer fluid level is low. When the windshield washer fluid level is
low, the washer level switch provides a ground signal to the combination meter (unified meter control unit).
Once fluid is added, the message will stay on for 30 seconds and then turn off.
PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR
When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch provides a ground signal to the combination
meter (unified meter control unit). Then, when the igni tion switch is turned ON and vehicle speed is greater
than 7 km/h (4 MPH), the message is displayed.
Refer to Owner’s Manual for additional information display items.
