• Tighten engine mounting bracket bolts in numerical order as
shown.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or tr ansmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels m ay cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel leakage at the connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005260138
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 severity 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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 NISSAN/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 SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005260139
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK ″ position.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery pow er is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color. Following are some of the advantages
of the Xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi- tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position,
the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be
used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter c ontrols the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indi-
cator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam
headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes unless the lighting switch position is
changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM -
HEAD LAMP)".

• BCM (Body Control Module) controls auto light operati on according to signals from optical sensor, combina-
tion switch (lighting and turn signal switch) and ignition switch.
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) operates parking, license plate, tail and
headlamps according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
• Optical sensor detects ambient br ightness and converts light (lux) to voltage, then sends the optical sensor
signal to BCM.
OUTLINE
The auto light control system has an optical sensor that detects outside brightness.
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in AUTO position, it automatically turns ON/
OFF the parking, license plate, tail and headlamps in accordance with the ambient light. Sensitivity can be
adjusted in four steps. For the details of the setting, Refer to BCS-22, "

TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in LH or RH position with the ignition switch in
ON position, the BCM detects the TURN RH or TURN LH ON request. The BCM outputs the flasher signal to
the respective turn signal lamp. The BCM also sends a turn indicator signal ON request via the CAN commu-
nication lines to the combination meter. The combination meter then activates the appropriate turn signal indi-
cator and audible buzzer.
HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
When the hazard switch is in ON position, the BCM detects the hazard switch signal ON. The BCM outputs the
flasher signal (right and left). The BCM sends a hazar d indicator signal ON request via the CAN communica-
tion lines to the combination meter. The combinati on meter then activates the hazard indicator and audible
buzzer.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY OPERATION
The remote keyless entry receiver transmits a hazard request signal to the BCM, then BCM controls hazard
lamps.
Refer to SEC-10, "

PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal s witch) is in 1ST position, BCM detects the LIGHTING
SWITCH 1ST POSITION ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to
the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then ac tivates the tail lamp relay which sends power to the parking and instru-
ment illumination circuits.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated fo r 5 minutes unless the combination switch (lighting
and turn signal switch) position is changed. If the combi nation switch (lighting and turn signal switch) position
is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-26, "
