On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000001703736
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are within specifications.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check shock absorber for oil leakage, damage and replace it if necessary.
Wheel AlignmentInspectionINFOID:0000000001703737
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-5
.
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-4, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.
• Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
• Check with the manufacturer of your specific alignment machine for their recommended Service/Cali-
bration Schedule.
THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT: Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual. Refer to RSU-12, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*)" .
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
• The alignment specifications programmed into your alignment machine that operate these indicators
may not be correct.
• This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
• Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
• See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.

Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioner with Load LimiterINFOID:0000000001703912
The seat belt pre-tensioner system with load limiter is installed for
both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. It operates
simultaneously with the SRS air bag system in the event of a frontal
collision with an impact exceeding a specified level.
When the frontal collision with an impact exceeding a specified level
occurs, seat belt slack resulting from clothing or other factors is
immediately taken up by the pre-tensioner. Vehicle passengers are
securely restrained.
When passengers in a vehicle are thrown forward in a collision and
the restraining force of the seat belt exceeds a specified level, the
load limiter permits the specified extension of the seat belt by the
twisting of the ELR shaft, and a relaxation of the chest-area seat belt
web tension while maintaining force.
Occupant Classification System (OCS)INFOID:0000000001703913
The occupant classification system (OCS) identifies different size occupants, out of position occupants, and
detects if child seat is present in the front passenger seat. The OCS receives inputs from the occupant classi-
fication system sensor (located under the passenger seat cushion assembly) and belt tension sensor (part of
the passenger front seat belt assembly and located at the belt anchor location). Depending on classification of
the passenger, the OCS sends a signal to the air bag diagnosis sensor unit. The air bag diagnosis sensor unit
uses this signal and the seat belt buckle switch RH signal to determine deployment or non deployment of the
front passenger air bag module in the event of a collision. Depending on the signals received, the air bag diag-
nosis sensor unit can disable the front passenger air bag module completely.
NOTE:
In case of customer concern, CONSULT-III can be used to confirm the passenger air bag status (readiness).
Passenger Air Bag Status Conditions
NOTE:
Passenger does not meet Occupant Classification System specifications for passenger air bag activation.
