PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NJS000D2
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Battery ServiceNJS000D3
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNJS000CP
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

3. Remove engine cover (1), (2). Refer to EM-17, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
4. Remove air cleaner case (LH) and air duct (LH). Refer to EM-15, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove mounting nuts (A) from low-pressure flexible hose (1).
6. Remove mounting nuts (B) from high-pressure flexible hose (2).
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of compressor, low-pressure flexible
hose and high-pressure flexible hose with suitable material
such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
7. Disconnect compressor connector (C).
8. Remove drive belt. Refer to EM-12, "
DRIVE BELTS" .
9. Remove mounting bolts (A) from compressor, using power tools.
10. Remove compressor (1) upward of vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, and
then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Check Disc to Pulley ClearanceNJS000IE
Check the clearance (B) between pulley assembly (1) and clutch
disc (2) around the entire periphery with feeler gauge (A).
If specified clearance is not obtained, replace compressor.
