SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005931125
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty 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 SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SRS section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied 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 Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric 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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005931126
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 disconnecti ng 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 power 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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-49
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Clutch pedal Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-6
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-6
and
BR-20
Parking brake Check that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-5
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the se-
lector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes. —
CVT P (Park) position
mechanism On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever
in the “P” position without applying any brakes.

Radiator and hos-
es Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may
have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections.
—
Brake and clutch
fluid levels Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs.
BR-9
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level. —

Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble
and correct it. MA-37, "EXHAUST SYS-
TEM : Checking Exhaust
System HR16DE", MA-37,
"EXHAUST SYSTEM :
Checking Exhaust System
MR18DE"
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause
and correct it immediately. —

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil/f luid at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-III every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS -2 if necessary. (Refer to CVT section) If CONSULT-III is not avail-
able, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN

NISSAN recommends the use of an energy conser ving oil in order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification and International Lubrica-
tion Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) ce rtification and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front of the container. Oils which do not have the specified quality label
should not be used as they could cause engine damage.
Anti-freeze Coolant Mixture RatioINFOID:0000000005931136
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory wit h a high-quality, long life, year-round, anti-freeze coolant
solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to u se only Genuine NISSAN Long Life AntiFreeze / Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent with the proper mixture ratio of 50% an ti-freeze and 50% demineralized or
distilled water.
• Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of
the factory-fi ll coolant.
