The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb.
They can be replaced from inside the engine
compartment without removing the headlight as-
sembly.

Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-25
CAUTION
●High-pressure halogen gas is sealed in-
side the bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb
is dropped.
● Aiming should not be necessary after
replacing the H4 bulb. When aiming ad-
justment is necessary, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
● Do not leave the headlight assembly
open without a bulb installed for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke,
etc. entering the headlight body may
affect bulb performance. Remove the
bulb from the headlight assembly just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
● Only touch the base when handling the
bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass could significantly
affect bulb life and/or headlight
performance.
● Use the same number and wattage as
shown in the chart.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector
Afrom
the rear end of the bulb. 3. Pull off the rubber cap
B.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin
Cto loosen
it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or rotate the bulb when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of removal.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not
a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, contact a NISSAN dealer.
HEADLIGHT AIM
The aim of the headlights may require adjustment
when replacing the headlight assembly or when
the vehicle’s front body has been repaired. When
the adjustment is required, follow these proce-
dures, or have them adjusted by a NISSAN
dealer.
Before performing the headlights aim adjust-
ment:
● Check the pressure of all tires for the correct
inflation pressure.
● Check that the tools and spare tire are
stowed securely.

8-26Maintenance and do-it-yourself
●Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are
filled to correct capacities.
● Unload all luggage and other items, which
may influence the vehicle’s height level.
● Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is
equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to
the wall or screen to which the headlights
will be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to deter- mine the point P as shown in the illustration.
The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the headlight’s
center point to the level surface.
“WL” is the distance between the left and
right headlights’ centers.
3. Mark point P on the wall or screen. 4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,
16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or
screen.
”L” is the distance between the wall or
screen to the vehicle’s front bumper.
5. Apply the parking brake.

Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-27
Adjusting the headlight aim
Be sure that the vehicle is parked directly vertical
to the wall on which the headlights will be pro-
jected.1. Turn on the headlight low beam
2. Open the hood.
3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws
12,
located inside the engine compartment, until
the headlight projection, on the wall or
screen, does not move. NOTE:
The aim adjustment screws are located on
each side of the headlights. The lower
screw
1is used to adjust the horizontal
aim. The upper screw
2is used to adjust
the vertical aim.
The screws can be turned indefinitely in
each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-
serve the headlight projection movement
to determine the necessary turning
amount. 4. Turn the lower screws
1in the opposite
direction until the headlight projection be-
comes 70 mm (2.76 in) below the point P.
Once the left headlight has been adjusted,
perform right side adjustment as well.
”C” is the distance between point P and
point
3.
5. Turn the upper screws
2in the opposite
direction until the horizontal headlight pro-
jection’s turn point
3is directly below the
point P. Once the left headlight has been
adjusted, perform right side adjustment as
well.

Replacing the fog light bulb
If replacement is required, see your NISSAN
dealer.
CAUTION
●High pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
● When handling the bulb, do not touch
the glass envelope.
● Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed as shown in the
chart.
● Do not leave the bulb out of the fog light
for a long period of time as dust, mois-
ture and smoke may enter the fog light
body and affect the performance of the
fog light.

Tire wear and damage
WARNING
●Tires should be periodically inspected
for wear, cracking, bulging or objects
caught in the tread. If excessive wear,
cracks, bulging or deep cuts are found,
the tire(s) should be replaced. ●
The original tires have built-in tread
wear indicators. When the wear indica-
tors are visible, the tire(s) should be
replaced.
● Tires degrade with age and use. Have
tires, including the spare, over 6 years
old checked by a qualified technician
because some tire damage may not be
obvious. Replace the tires as necessary
to prevent tire failure and possible per-
sonal injury.
● Improper service of the spare tire may
result in serious personal injury. If it is
necessary to repair the spare tire, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Tire Safety Information”
in the Warranty Information Booklet.Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread
design, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. Recommended types and
sizes are shown in “Wheels and tires” in the
“Technical and consumer information” section of
this manual.
WARNING
● The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of
different brands, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial) , or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking,
handling, ground clearance, body-to-
tire clearance, tire chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim
and bumper height. Some of these ef-
fects may lead to accidents and could
result in serious personal injury.
● If the wheels are changed for any rea-
son, always replace with wheels which
have the same off-set dimension.
Wheels of a different off-set could
cause premature tire wear, degrade ve-
hicle handling characteristics and/or in-
terference with the brake discs/drums.
Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or early
brake pad/shoe wear. Refer to “Wheels
and tires” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual for wheel off-set dimensions.
