c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start the tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weight.
5. Start the tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer
residual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
6. If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-5, "
General Maintenance".
When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten 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 wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

CAUTION:
After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide rail set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless not damaged and properly operating after minor collision.
Also inspect seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision, and replace if damaged or improperly
operating.
Seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal colli-
sion where the driver and passenger air bags are deployed.
If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace as seat belt assembly.
If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace belt assembly.
Never oil tongue and buckle.
Use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
For details, refer to SB-3, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Inspection" , SB-8, "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR :
Inspection" in SB section.
Check anchors for loose mounting
Check belts for damage
Check retractor for smooth operation
Check function of buckles and tongues when buckled and released
