PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NJGI0001S01The 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 NISSAN MODEL N16 is as follows (The com-
position varies according to the destination and optional equip-
ment.):
+For 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), front seat belt pre-tensioners, a diagnoses
sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air
bag module (located in the outer side of front seat), side air bag
(satellite) sensor, diagnoses sensor unit (one of components of
air bags for a frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp
(one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in
theRS sectionof 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 should be performed by an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
+Improper 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.
+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 harness
connector.
PRECAUTIONS FOR NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM)
NJGI0001S02NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without
the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS
registered.
The security indicator is located on the instrument panel or in the
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions
GI-3

combination meter. The indicator blinks when the ignition switch is
in ªOFFº or ªACCº position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that
the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
+When NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights
up while ignition switch is in ªONº position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.
+When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs),
CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software is
necessary.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation
manual, NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
+When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it
may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner. A
maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.
+When failing to start the engine first time using the key of
NATS, start as follows.
a) Leave the ignition key in ªONº position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition key to ªOFFº or ªLOCKº position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
c) Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
d) Restart the engine while keeping the key separate from any
others on key-chain.
SGI285
GENERAL PRECAUTIONSNJGI0001S03+Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with haz-
ardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
SGI231
+Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before work-
ing on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
+When removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle, be careful not to lose your balance and drop them.
Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially the
brake tubes and master cylinder.
