HEADLAMP AIMING ADJUSTMENT (HALOGEN TYPE) : DescriptionINFOID:0000000003862423
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
NOTE:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Perform aiming if the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been
replaced.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
Fill with fuel, engine coolant and each oil.
Maintain the unloaded vehicle condition. (Remove luggage from the passenger compartment and the trunk
room.)
NOTE:
Do not remove the temporary tire, jack and on-vehicle tool.
Wipe out dirt on the headlamp.
CAUTION:
Never use organic solvent (thinner, gasoline etc.)
Ride alone on the driver seat.
Headlamp aiming switch sets to “0”.

EXHAUST SYSTEM : Inspection
INFOID:0000000003862426
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leakage, cracks, damage or deterioration.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CVT FLUID: RE0F10A
CVT FLUID: RE0F10A : InspectionINFOID:0000000003862427
CHECKING CVT FLUID
The fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check
procedure is as follows:
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10
minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
4. Apply parking brake firmly.
5. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift
selector throughout the entire shift range.
6. Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging
pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to
release the lock.
7. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid
level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,
then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.

8. Place the selector lever in “P” or “N” and check that the fluid
level is within the specified range.
CAUTION:
When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the
CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installa-
tion position until securely locked.
CVT FLUID CONDITION
Check CVT fluid condition.
If CVT fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of CVT.
Flush cooling system after repair of CVT.
If CVT fluid contains frictional material (clutches, brakes, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair of CVT. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded
View".
CVT FLUID: RE0F10A : ChangingINFOID:0000000003862428
CAUTION:
Replace O-ring with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.
1. Remove drain plug from oil pan.
2. Remove drain plug gasket from drain plug.
3. Install drain plug gasket to drain plug.
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Install drain plug to oil pan. Refer to TM-321, "
Exploded View".
5. Fill CVT fluid from CVT fluid charging pipe to the specified level.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Never mix with other fluid.
Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and
CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid.
6. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.

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.
