Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612924
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. 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 w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” 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 “SUPPLEMEN TAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
General Precaution for Service OperationINFOID:0000000001328264
 Never work with wet hands.
 Xenon headlamp includes high voltage generating part. Be sure to disconnect battery negative cable (negative terminal) or power
fuse before removing, installing, or touching the xenon headlamp
(including lamp bulb).
 Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connecting the connector.
 When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated, never touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.
 When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehicle
and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.
 Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or allow oil or grease to get on it. Do not touch the headl amp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off, because
it is very hot.
 Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket co rrectly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona dis-
charge may occur that can melt the bulb, connecto r, and housing. Do not illuminate the xenon headlamp
bulb out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.
 When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.
 Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for a long period of time can deteriorate the perfor- mance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Al ways prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when replac-
ing the bulb.
 When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjus tment screw only in the tightening direction. (If it
is necessary to loosen the screw, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in the tightening direction.)
 Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check
the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
 Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
 If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highl y probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
 Oil pans (lower and upper)
 Oil pan drain plug
 Oil pressure switch
 Oil filter
 Oil filter bracket (AWD models)
 Oil cooler
 Water pump cover
 Chain tensioner cover
 Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
 Mating surface between front timing chain case and rear timing chain case
 Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder head
 Mating surface between rear timing chain case and cylinder block
 Mating surface between rear timing chain case and oil pan (upper)

ENGINE OIL
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burn your
self, as engine oil may be hot.
 Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL".
2. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure sensor, and remove oil pressure sensor using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.
4. Install the oil pressure gauge (SST) and hose (SST).
5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load. NOTE:
When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engi ne oil temperature at 80 °C (176 °F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and the mating surface.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
uct and Sealant".
