PrecautionsNBGI0001Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
SGI646
PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NBGI0001S01The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with a seat belt, helps to
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passen-
ger for certain types of collision. The SRS system composition
which is available to INFINITI QX4 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), front pas-
senger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on
passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor
unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag
module (located in the outer side of front seat), satellite sensor,
diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a
frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of compo-
nents of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in
theRS sectionof this Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo 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 performed by an authorized INFINITI
dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of
Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the RS section.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow
insulation tape either just before the harness connectors
or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTIONS FOR IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM Ð NATS)
NBGI0001S08IVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it
without the registered key of IVIS (NATS).
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been IVIS
(NATS) registered.
