INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge often and always prior to long distance trips.
Adjust the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. WT-69
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary. —
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 12,000km (7,500 miles). If the vehicle is equipped
with different sized tires in the front and rear, tires cannot be rotated. WT-63
Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)
transmitter compo-
nentsReplace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age.
WT-66
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road,
or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed. FSU-7
RSU-6
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —
Windshield wiper
blades Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
door. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make
sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary
latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently. MA-34
Lamps
Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. —

Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimes Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly. —
Windshield wiper and
washer Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not
streak.
—
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering condi-
tion, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.

CAUTION:
 After any collision, inspect all seat belt assembli es, including retractors and other attached hard-
wares (I.e. anchor bolt, guide ra il set). Nissan recommends to replace all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision, unless not damaged and pr operly 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 th e 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 assembl y 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-4, "
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR : Inspection", SB-10, "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR :
Inspection", SB-17, "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

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
 PDS (POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM) is the system that BCM controls with the operation of the push-
button ignition switch and performs the power distributi on to each power circuit. This system is used instead
of the mechanical power supply changing mechanism wit h the operation of the conventional key cylinder.
 The push-button ignition switch can be operated when Intelligent Key is in the following condition. Refer to Engine Start Function for details.
- Intelligent Key is in the detection area of the inside key antenna.
- Intelligent Key backside is contact ed to push-button ignition switch.
 The push-button ignition switch operation is input to BCM as a signal. BCM changes the power supply posi-
tion according to the status and operates the follo wing relays to supply power to each power circuit.
- Ignition relay (inside IPDM E/R)
- Ignition relay-1
- ACC relay
- Blower relay
NOTE:
The engine switch operation changes due to the conditions of brake pedal, selector lever and vehicle speed.
 The power supply position can be confirmed with the light ing of the indicators near the push-button ignition
switch.
BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
When all the following conditions are met for 60 minutes, the battery saver system will cut off the power supply
to prevent battery discharge.
 The ignition switch is in the ACC position
 All doors are closed
 Selector lever is in the P position
Reset Condition of Battery Saver System
In order to prevent the battery from discharging, the battery saver system will cut off the power supply when all
doors are closed, the selector lever is on P position and t he ignition switch is left on ACC position for 1 hour. If
any of the following conditions are met the battery saver system is released and the steering will change auto-
matically to lock position from OFF position.
 Opening any door
 Operating with door request switch on door lock
 Operating with Intelligent Key on door lock
Press push-button ignition switch and ignition swit ch will change to ACC position from OFF position.
