BALANCING WHEELS (ADHESIVE WEIGHT TYPE)

Preparation Before Adjustment

Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel using releasing agent, remove double-faced

adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean all traces of releasing agent from the road

wheel.

Wheel Balance Adjustment

• If a balancer machine has an adhesive weight mode setting, select the adhesive weight mode setting and

skip Step 2. below. If a balancer machine only has the clip-on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow Step 2.

to calculate the correct size adhesive weight.

1. Set road wheel on balancer machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the balancer machine.
2. For balancer machines that only have a clip-on (rim flange) weight mode setting, follow this step to calcu-

late the correct size adhesive weight to use. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the

balancer machine indicator, multiply outer imbalance value by 5/3 (1.67) to determine balance weight that

should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value above and

install in to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

a. Indicated imbalance value

×

5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:

23 g (0.81 oz)

×

5/3 (1.67) = 38.33 g (1.35 oz)

40 g (1.41 oz)

balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)

NOTE:

Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated

balance weight value.

Example:

37.4

35 g (1.23 oz)

37.5

40 g (1.41 oz)

3. Install balance weight in the position shown.

CAUTION:

• Do not install the inner balance weight before installing

the outer balance weight.

• Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the

mating surface of the road wheel.

• When installing balance weight (1) to road wheel, set it into the

grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown

so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the bal-

ancer machine indication position (angle) (C).

CAUTION:

• Always use genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.

• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with

new ones.

• Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

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 another.

5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel 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-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Introduction to Peri-

odic Maintenance"

(United States and Canada), or

MA-15, "FOR

MEXICO : Periodic Maintenance Schedule"

(Mexico).

• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified

torque.

CAUTION:

• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.

• 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 wheel nut at torque exceeding the

criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks

INFOID:0000000006243444

• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be

between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.

• Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.

• If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.

• If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the correct

level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking brake

switch.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : Drain and Refill

INFOID:0000000006827740

CAUTION:

• Refill with new brake fluid. Refer to

MA-18, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"

(United

States and Canada) or

MA-20, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants"

(Mexico).

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

• Do not let brake fluid splash on the painted surfaces of the body. This might damage the paint, so

when splashing it, immediately wipe off the area and wash away with water.

• Before servicing, disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery nega-

tive terminal.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery

negative terminal.

2. Connect a vinyl tube to each bleed valve.
3. Depress brake pedal, loosen each bleed valve, and gradually

remove brake fluid.

4. Make sure there is no foreign material in reservoir tank, and refill

with new brake fluid.

5. Rest foot on brake pedal. Loosen bleed valve. Slowly depress

brake pedal until it stops. Tighten bleed valve. Release brake

pedal. Repeat the process a few times, then pause to add new

brake fluid to master cylinder. Continue until the new brake fluid

flows out of the bleed valve.

Bleed the air out of the brake hydraulic system. Refer to

BR-20,

"Bleeding Brake System"

.

MIN level line. Check tank frequently and add fluid as

needed.

2. Turn the steering wheel to the right and left several times.
3. Hold the steering wheel at each “locked” position for five sec-

onds to check for fluid leakage.

CAUTION:

Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibil-

ity that the oil pump may be damaged.)

4. If fluid leakage at a connection is noticed, loosen the connection and then retighten. Do not over-tighten

connector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector. Refer to

ST-17

and

ST-26

.

5. If fluid leakage from the oil pump is noticed, check the oil pump. Refer to

ST-17

.

6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid, indicating a leak from the steering gear.

• Check the function of the buckles by inserting the seat belt tongue and checking for proper engagement of

the buckle and press the button on the buckle to check for proper release of the seat belt tongue.

CAUTION:

• After any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached compo-

nents, such as the guide rail set. NISSAN recommends replacing all seat belt assemblies in use dur-

ing a collision, unless they are not damaged and are inspected to confirm they are operating

properly after a minor collision.

Also inspect all seat belt assemblies that are not in use during a collision, and replace any compo-

nents if damaged or not operating properly. The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if

the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision where the driver and passenger air bags have

been deployed.

• If any component of the seat belt assembly is suspected of being damaged or not operating prop-

erly, do not repair the component. Replace the components as an assembly.

• If the seat belt webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged then replace the seat belt assembly.

• Never lubricate the seat belt buckle or tongue.

• When replacing any seat belt assembly always use a Genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
