WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

1. If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive- in weight mode setting, select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for wheels.

Scheme 4

1. Set wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer imbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer imbalance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel. 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 wheel. Indicated imbalance value x 5/3 = balance weight to be installed Calculation example: 23 g (0.81 oz) x 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value) Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated balance weight value. Example: 37.4 g = 35 g (1.23 oz) 37.5 g = 40 g (1.41 oz) Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure. When installing balance weight to wheels, set it into the grooved area on the inner wall of the wheel as shown in the figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication position (angle). CAUTION: Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights. Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with new ones. Do not install more than three sheets of balance weights. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in the figure. CAUTION: Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the wheel balancer indication position (angle). CAUTION: Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or below. Wheel Balance (Maximum Allowable Imbalance) If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.

Scheme 5

1. Rotate the tires on each side from front to back (Scheme 5) Wheel nuts: Refer to «WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY»(ref-233290-S09038723592006052500000).
2. Adjust the tire pressure to specification. Refer to «TIRE»(ref-233290-S30891108792006052500000).
3. After the tire rotation, retighten the wheel nuts after the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles), and also after a wheel and tire have been installed such as after repairing a flat tire.

Scheme 6

1. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines on the reservoir tank.
2. If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
3. 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.

Scheme 7

1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and other damage. Replace any damaged parts. CAUTION: If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints, retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
