Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
BBS004WR
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 Liquid GasketBBS004WS
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface using seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.

In areas where seal cutter (SST) is difficult to use, use plastic
hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid
gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to tube presser (SST).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.

ENGINE COOLANT

ENGINE COOLANTPFP:KQ100
InspectionBBS004WY
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” range when engine is cool.

Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
LEAK CHECK

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter (SST).
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher testing pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Engine CoolantBBS004WZ
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Remove grommet from undercover.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap.
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to
EM-229, "
DISASSEMBLY" .
3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
