Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EJS000T0
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.
WAR NIN G:
lTo 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.
lImproper 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.
lDo 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 connectors.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS000T1
WAR NIN G:
lUse only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
lThe specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
bletominimizetheentryofmoistureintosystem.
–Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
–Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 (R-134a recycling equipment), or J2209 (R-134a recovery equipment). If acci-
dental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health
and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
–Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsEJS000T2
WAR NIN G:
lDo not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
lAlways wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
lDo not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C(125°F).
lDo not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
lDo not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
lKeep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
lRefrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
lDo not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or

property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant man-
ufacturers.
Lubricant PrecautionsEJS000T3
lUse only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
lThe specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize
the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con-
necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
–Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. With-
out proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
lAvoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove R-134a from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting requirements of SAE
J2210 (R-134a recycling equipment), or J2209 (R-134a recovery equipment). If accidental system dis-
charge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health and safety information may
be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
lDo not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage
may result.
Precautions for Refrigerant ConnectionEJS000T4
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
lExpansion valve to cooling unit
lRefrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
lThe O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi-
nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of
the O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacting surface of the mating part to improve sealing
characteristics.
lThe reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the direction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facil-
itating piping connections.

Precautions for Models with SRS Air Bag and Pre-Tensioner Seat BeltEFS000BY
WA RN ING:
lBefore removing and installing components and harnesses of SRS air bag and seat belt pre-ten-
sioner system, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery ground cable, and wait at least 3 min-
utes. (This discharges electricity held in the air bag sensor unit's additional power circuit.)
lDo not use pneumatic or electric tools to remove and install the components.
lDo not solder SRS air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner system harnesses when making repairs.
Make sure harness is not pinched and there is no contact with other components.
lWhen checking the SRS air bag and the seat belt pre-tensioner circuit or the components of each
system, do not use an electric tester such as a circuit tester. (This is to prevent accidental trigger-
ing caused by the weak electric current of a tester.)
lNever insert foreign material (such as a screwdriver) in the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat
belt connectors. (The units may be actuated by mistake by static electricity.)
lSeat belt pre-tensioner and SRS air bag harnesses can be distinguished from other harnesses by
their yellow connectors.
lWhen servicing, refer to “SB Seat Belt” and “SRS Air Bag” for safety.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS000BZ
lClean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air.
lRecommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on paint, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.
lUse only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components.
lNever use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
lAlways use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake
tube flare nuts.
lThe brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid
leak is detected, always disassemble the related parts. If dam-
age, deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace
affected parts with new ones.
lBefore staring operation, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF
and disconnect the ABS actuator and control module connector
or battery cables.
lWhen installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.SBR686C
