Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001612895
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.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000001328027
 Disconnect both battery cables in advance.
 Do not tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
 Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
 When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, which may get in the way with cloth.
 When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
 Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
 If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
 If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
 Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
 After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
 Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
 Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

Precaution for Seat Belt ServiceINFOID:0000000001327733
CAUTION:
 Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensione r assembly, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect
the both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
 Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
 After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pr e-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat belt
pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRS-23, "
SRS Operation Check".
 Do not use disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
 Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
 Never oil tongue and buckle.
 If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not re pair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.
 If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
 When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
 Disposal, recycling, and transportation of air ba g modules and seat belt pre-tensioners should be
performed in compliance with applicable fede ral, state and local laws and regulations.
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an acci dent. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or im proper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioner
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
 The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
 The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide).
 The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an acci dent. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
 Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
 The front seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision
in which the air bags are deployed.

How to Handle BatteryINFOID:0000000001328243
CAUTION:
 If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt
booster battery.
 After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact.
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging
a battery.
 The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept clean and dry.
 The terminal connections should be clean and tight.
 At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance” and
“maintenance-free”.
 When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of time, disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
 Check the charge condition of the battery. Periodically check the specific gr avity of the electrolyte. Keep a
close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, never touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush wit h water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

INFOID:0000000001327741
 Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS ci rcuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
 Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are remov ed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SR S connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have
passed.
 Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “ ⇐” pointing towards the front of the
vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.
 The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering
wheel and column after removal of steering gear.
 Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing down.
 Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
 After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
 Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
 Disposal, recycling, and transportation of air bag m odules and seat belt pre-tensioners should be performed
in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
