GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Explanation of Gene
ral MaintenanceINFOID:0000000012432243
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 operati ng properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can 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 specified pressure.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. WT-54
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary. WT-48
Tire rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). WT-45
Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing 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-53
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. For additional information regarding tires, refer
to "Important Tire Safety Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada)
in the NISSAN Warranty
Information Booklet. WT-44

Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. GW-12
Windshield wiper
bladesCheck 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, trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lu-
bricate 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 lubrica-
tion frequently. MA-40

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
InspectionINFOID:0000000012431922
DESCRIPTION
Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricants are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-44, "
Inspection".
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-10, "
Wheel Bearing".
4. Shock absorber operation.
5. Each mounting part of suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Rear suspension beam for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Vehicle height (posture).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed. • This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI 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 capabl e of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI 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-15, "Wheel
Alignment (Unladen*1)".
1. When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment 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" if you are using sensor-type alignment equipment.
• Follow all instructions for the alignment machine you're using for more information.
CAMBER INSPECTION
• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
• If it is out of the specificati on value, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
Camber : Refer to RSU-15, "
Wheel Alignment
(Unladen*1)".

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
REAR SUSPENSION BEAM
• Perform the final tightening of the rear suspension beam nuts and bolts under unladen conditions with thetires on level ground.
• Adjust the parking brake. Refer to PB-4, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
• Fill the hydraulic brake system. Refer to BR-12, "
Refilling".
• Bleed the hydraulic brake system. Refer to BR-13, "
Bleeding Brake System".
• Complete the inspection. Refer to BR-12, "
Inspection".
InspectionINFOID:0000000012431932
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the rear suspension beam for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace the parts if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the wheel sensor harness to be sure the connectors are fully seated.
2. Check the neutral position of the steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-55, "
ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING
ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION : Description".
3. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-6, "
Inspection".
