WHEEL AND TIRE
3. Install balance weight in the position shown.CAUTION:
• Do not install the inner bala nce weight before installing
the outer balance weight.
• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the wheel and tire.
• When installing balance weight (1) to wheel and tire, set it into the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the wheel and tire as
shown so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the
balancer machine indication position (angle) (C).
CAUTION:
• Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace withnew ones.
• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights.
4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of wheel and tire in the bal- ancer machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-7, "
Introduction of Periodic Maintenance".
• Rotate the wheel and tires front to back in the pattern as shown.
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque.
WARNING:
• After rotating the tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.
• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten the wh eel nuts to a torque exceeding speci fication to prevent strain on the
disc rotor.
• Use Genuine NISSAN wheel nuts.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012431939
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 SR 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 three mi nutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for EPS SystemINFOID:0000000012431940
• Check the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis:
- Check for possible causes of the malfunction by inte rviewing the customer as to what conditions were
present when the symptom occurred.
- Check if the steering wheel and the EPS control unit are genuine parts.
- Check if the air pressure and size of each tire is correct.
- Check if the installation of the links and suspension components are correct.
- Check if the tires are worn evenly, indicating the wheel alignment is correct.
- Check if the installation of the steering column and t he steering gear are correct. Check for loose bolts, dam-
aged links, cracked boots and leaking grease, etc.
- Check for damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight or altered ground clearance.
- Check if the battery voltage is proper.
- Check the EPS control unit harness to be sure the harness connectors are fully seated.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control uni t harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and
disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. Battery voltage is applied to the EPS control unit
even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

STEERING WHEEL
InspectionINFOID:0000000012430497
CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation conditions of steering gear, front suspension, axle and steering column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Verify that the steering gear nuts are tightened to specification. Refer to ST-14, "
Exploded View".
STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set the front wheels and tires in the straight-ahead position, start engine, then lightly turn steering wheel
to the left and right until the front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on the outer
circumference.
2. When the measurement value is outside the standard va lue, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn and installation condition of steering gear.
STEERING WHEEL NEUTRAL POSITION
Check steering wheel neutral position using the following procedure:
1. Confirm that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-8, "
Adjustment".
2. Set the front wheels and tires in the straight-ahead posit ion, check if steering wheel is in the neutral posi-
tion.
3. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
4. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen the steering gear outer socket lock nuts, then adjust the inner sockets by the same amount
in the opposite direction.
5. Re-check the front wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-8, "
Adjustment".
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Tires need to be inflated normal pressure. Refer to WT-54, "
Tire Air Pressure".
3. Start engine.
4. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from the neutral position.
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect steering column. Refer to ST-10, "
Inspection".
6. If steering column meets specification, inspect steering gear. Refer to ST-14, "
Inspection".
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
1. Perform toe-in inspection. Refer to FSU-8, "Adjustment".
CAUTION: Steering wheel axial end play : Refer to
ST-19, "

STEERING WHEEL
Perform front wheel turning angle inspection, after toe-in inspection.
2. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands, so that vehicle can be level.
3. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for (LH/ RH) wheels and tires.
• With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop tofull right stop and measure the turning angles.
• Check the following items when turning angle is out of the standard.
- Check rack stroke (L).
- Disassemble steering gear to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
• Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear, steer- ing column and front suspension components for wear or dam-
age if any of the turning angles are different from the specified
value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition
exists.
