This is page BF-5 from a Nissan factory service manual section titled "BODY END AND DOOR," covering front end body service. General precautions instruct placing padding on hood corners when removing/installing the hood or back door, referring to the CLIP & FASTENER section for clips, and applying sealing compound where necessary. Front End notes cover hood adjustment at the hinge portion, hood lock adjustment (adjust the striker to center in the lock and grease the engaging mechanism), a caution not to bend the hood opener cable, and warnings that the front grille and bumper fascia are plastic and must be kept away from excessive force and oil. An exploded diagram shows the hood, hood lock, hinges, front grille, and bumper fascia with torque specifications: 4.3-5.5 N·m (0.44-0.56 kg-m, 3.2-4.1 ft-lb) for the hood lock, 13-16 N·m (1.3-1.6 kg-m, 9-12 ft-lb) for hood hinges, and 5.1-6.5 N·m (0.52-0.66 kg-m, 3.8-4.8 ft-lb) for bumper mounting points. Bumper height H is specified as 486-547 mm (19.13-21.54 in) measured at curb weight with normal tire pressure on level ground, within 60 cm of vehicle center on both sides. Clip references CG101, CG201, C102, C103, CS102, CE104 appear on the diagram.
