Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951721
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR 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 inopera tive, 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 NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000009463735
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear br ake using a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow by
compressed air.
• Brake fluid use refer to BR-8, "Inspection"
.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
• After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder t han normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
• Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) harness connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the parts.

bypassed, characteristics of twisted wire will be lost.)
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009463738
• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a s hop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

CO-12, "Changing Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
• Do not spill coolant on the drive belt.
2. Remove front air duct. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Disconnect coolant reservoir hose from the radiator.
4. Remove fender protector side cover (LH/RH). Refer to EXT-26, "FENDER PROTECTOR : Exploded
View".
5. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) and radiat or hose (lower) from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant to contact the drive belt.
NOTE:
The radiator hose clamps on the radiator hose (upper ) and on the radiator hose (lower), are not serviced
separately. Radiator hose clamps are part of the radiator hose assembly and serviced as one unit with the
radiator hose.
6. Disconnect the CVT oil cooler hoses.
7. Remove the front bumper fascia. Refer to EXT-17, "Removal and Installation"
.
8. Remove A/C condenser. Refer to HA-30, "COMPRESSOR : Removal and Installation"
.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser core.
9. Remove the radiator mounts (upper).
10. Remove radiator. CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch the radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• After installation, refill coolant and check for leaks. Refer to CO-12, "Changing Engine Coolant"
and CO-11,
"System Inspection".
CAUTION:
Do not spill coolant in engi ne compartment. Use a shop cloth to absorb coolant.
InspectionINFOID:0000000009460394
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.
• Check for leakage of engine coolant using Tool (B) and suitable tool (A). Refer to CO-11, "System Inspection"
.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap wh en the engine is hot. Seri-
ous burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping
from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
• Start and warm up the engine. Visually check that there is no leakage of engine coolant and CVT fluid.

• Perform this step when engine is cold.
5. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine removal or repair, open all of the drain plugs (A-D) on the cylin-
der block.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corro- sion or discoloration.
If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system.
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install the radiator drain plug. If the cooling syst em was drained completely, install the reservoir tank and
the cylinder block drain plugs.
• The radiator must be complete ly empty of coolant and water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance
Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"
.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper sealing washers.
2. If disconnected, reattach the upper radiator hose at the engine side.
3. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heat er ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with
the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
