General maintenance includes those items which shoul d be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or have their NISSAN dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
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. MA-39
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary. MA-39

nents Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires
are replaced due to wear or age. WT-57
Wheel alignment and
balance If 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. For additional information regarding tires, refer
to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada)
in the NISSAN Warranty Information Booklet. FSU-25

POWER STEERING FLUID AND LINES : Inspection
INFOID:0000000009464588
FLUID LEVEL
Check power steering fluid level at the scale on reservoir tank cap
indicator.
• Check power steering fluid level with engine stopped and the fluid temp between 0 – 30 ° C (32 – 86 ° F).
• Power steering fluid level should be between the hatching area of the indicator on the power steering reservoir tank cap.
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Do not reuse used power steering fluid.
• Recommended power steering fluid is Genuine NISSAN E-
PSF or equivalent. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA :
Fluids and Lubricants".
FLUID LEAKAGE
Check the power steering hydraulic system for leaks, cracks, dam-
age, loose connections, chafing or det erioration. Repair or replace
as necessary.
1. Start engine and allow engine to idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. Damage to power steering oil pump may
occur.
4. If power steering fluid leakage at connections is noticed, loosen flare nut and retighten.
CAUTION:
Do not over tighten flare nut as damage to O-ring and connection can occur.
5. If power steering fluid leakage from the power steer ing oil pump is noticed, repair connection or replace
power steering oil pump. Refer to ST-15, "Inspection"
.
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of power steering fluid. Power steering fluid indicates a leak from the power steering gear, replace as necessary. Refer to ST-36, "Removal and Installation"
.
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS : InspectionINFOID:0000000009464589
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play,
cracks, wear or other damage.
• Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
• Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
• Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
• Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
• Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust cover for cracks or other damage.

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
• Check the wheelarch height in the unladen condition. Refer to RSU-17, "Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)".
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 ca pable 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 al ignment 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-17,
"Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)".
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignm ent 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. Most camera-type alignment machines are equipped with both "Rolling Compensation" method and optional "Jacking Compensation" method to "com pensate" the alignment targets or head units.
"Rolling Compensation" is the preferred method.
• If using the "Rolling Compensation" method, after installing the alignment targets or head units, push or pull on the rear wheel to move the vehicle. Do not push or pull the vehicle body.
• If using the "Jacking Compensation" method, after in stalling the alignment targets or head units, raise
the vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
NOTE:
Do not use the "Rolling Compensation" method if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER and TOE
• Camber and toe are both set by adjustment of the fr ont lower link and rear lower link adjusting bolts.
1. Loosen the nuts at the adjustment points on the front lower link and rear lower link.
2. Adjust the camber and toe by turning bolt (1) on front lower link (2).
3. Adjust the camber and toe by turning bolt (1) on rear lower link (2).
