Nissan Frontier Workshop Manuals

This manual contains maintenance service and repair procedures for Nissan Frontier. Got a major to-do list? No problem. With Frontier,® you’ve got a partner that’s up to the biggest challenges. It’s a mid-size truck with full-size attitude and plenty of engine muscle and towing capacity1 to get the job done. A fully boxed ladder frame and advanced off-road technology come standard, so no matter what you’re doing, you can do it easily. King Cab® or Crew Cab, there’s room for work and play. And with the Desert Runner® or PRO-4X® models, you choose when to cut a trail from the highway to the hills.

NISSAN KNOWS THAT FOUR WALLS ARE STRONGER THAN THREE
That’s why Frontier® features a full-length, fully boxed ladder frame instead of the 3-sided, open C-shape rails found on some other trucks. The frame is built with super-high-tensile-strength steel in strategic areas for enhanced structural rigidity. This rugged material is stronger than conventional steel for increased torsional stiffness that helps deliver improved performance, on- and off-road. And it’s the perfect foundation to build upon with our advanced technology.

• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) rapidly pumps the brakes during hard braking to help keep your wheels from locking up, helping you steer around an obstacle.
• Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) senses additional weight, whether it’s a full cargo bed or a full tank of gas, and sends extra force to the rear brakes.
• Brake Override Technology. Standard on every Frontier,® it’s designed to help slow down your vehicle and bring it to a stop in an emergency. It works by overriding accelerator input and reducing engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied simultaneously

CAPABILITY IS IN YOUR CORNER
Power – either you’ve got it, or you don’t. And with Frontier, you’ve got it in a big way. With an available 4.0-liter V6 engine packing 261 horsepower, your V6 is chomping at the bit. And with a massive, best-in-class 281 lb-ft of torque,1 you can tow or haul just about anything you need to bring along.2 Maybe it’s because we’re a company that loves to compete – off-road, on the racetrack, even in the showroom. But wherever we win, we’re happy to share the prize with you.

V6 power. The available 24-valve 4.0-L V6 works its magic with advanced technology, including a lightweight aluminum engine block, advanced valve timing system, variable intake, and race-bred frictionreducing technology. A 4-cylinder that feels like a 6. Frontier® also offers a 2.5-L 4-cylinder that pumps out 152 horsepower, 171 lb-ft of torque, and features a compact balancer system to deliver the smoothness of a V6. Gear up. You can harness the 4-cylinder’s power through a 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed automatic. The V6 is available with either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.

SHAKE UP SOME SAND
Looking for some major attitude? The Desert Runner® trim serves it up with looks that thrill. Amp up your cool factor with 16" 6-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, a satin chrome grille, and details like fog lights and a body-color rear bumper. Bilstein® off-road performance shocks and 265/75R16 mud- and snow-rated all-terrain tires maximize your potential. And a unique bedside decal tops it off - just before you leave them in the dust.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could put the submission hold on cargo? The available Utili-track® Channel System on Frontier® gives you choices few other trucks can match.1 Just about any type of cargo you can think of, this system is fully equipped to help keep it secured tightly. Five channels, four cleats, and a lot of thought about how people really use their trucks have created a system that’s simple, rugged, and offers near-infinite possibilities.

LOADS OF ACCESSORIES
There’s also a full line of available accessories to help you get even more out of Utili-track, including a Sliding Tool Box,2 a Sliding Bed Divider, and a Sliding Bed Extender.

4 CLEATS
Frontier®’s four heavy-duty forged aluminum cleats easily slide in the channels for unmatched flexibility to tie things down and the strength to hold them.

5 CHANNELS
Unmatched versatility comes in the form of five channels – including two channels in the floor, a feature few competitors can match. And since you can lock the cleat anywhere along the rail, Frontier® makes sure you find the best position to secure whatever you bring along.

SPRAY-ON BEDLINER
Adding to the incredible versatility of the bed, the available spray-on bedliner is applied at the factory – so you know it’s done right. Fade- and weather-resistant, it’s a rugged, non-skid surface that adheres directly to the bed to help prevent rusting and protect the truck’s bed.

TREAT ’EM LIKE PEBBLES.
The ultimate off-road Frontier,® the PRO-4X.® Exhibit championship form with unrivaled gear, including Bilstein® off-road performance shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), skid plates, and 265/75R16 mud- and snow-rated all-terrain tires. Add in 16" 6-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, fog lights, and an exclusive interior, and you’ve got a winning combination, inside and out.

Hill start assist. When starting on steep hills from a stop, hill start assist will help keep you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, allowing you time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator. Hill descent control. When driving down a steep grade in 4WD, hill descent control can help. Just push the button, ease your foot from the accelerator, and this system automatically maintains speed and brake pressure to help provide a controlled descent. Electronic locking rear differential. When 4x4 mode just isn’t enough, push the button to activate the electronic locking rear differential. This ultimate off-road feature delivers equal power to both rear wheels to boost traction and help keep your truck moving forward. When engaged, it works in conjunction with the 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS). So while the locking rear differential keeps the rear wheels powered to move you ahead, ABLS helps give you the traction you need up front to help maintain steering control.

Comfort, entertainment, cup holders – they’re all here. Whether on the job or on the go, Frontier® gives you everything you need to make the space yours. A great-looking interior plus an available sporty, leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise control and audio adjustments – all the better to crank up the available Rockford Fosgate®-powered audio system, which features 10 speakers,1 including subwoofers. The available2 Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System lets you make and take calls with your hands on the wheel and listen to calls through the audio system’s speakers.3 Available Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) lets you and your passenger set your own climates. With this level of comfort and convenience, when you get where you’re headed, you might not want to get out.

LOAD IT ALL IN THE CREW CAB. FOLDS FLAT FLIPS UP
Frontier® Crew Cab. Space or comfort? Why not both? Forward-hinged doors make for easy entry, and a 60/40 split rear bench allows seating for five and folds easily to create a large, flat surface. Or you can flip up the rearseat cushions for more storage room. There’s also an under-seat storage tray that’s removable for even greater versatility. You’ve decided which Frontier® you want, now here comes the best part: deciding what it’s going to look like. Choose your favorite color and then pick from the available interiors based on the model of your choice.
