FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR

BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000004754892

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. 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 whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the "SRS AIRBAG" and "SEAT BELT" of 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 must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 "SRS AIRBAG". · Never 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 and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors while ignition switch is ON or engine is running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. Heavy vibration may activate the sensor(s), deploy the airbag(s), possibly cause serious injury. When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery, and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after

Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000004755082

NOTE: · Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect both battery cables. · After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables. · Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results. This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit. If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned. If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE: Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables disconnected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

· Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.

· Never disassemble joint sub-assembly because it is non-overhaul parts.

· Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.

· Clean the parts, before disassembling and assembling.

· Prevent the entry of foreign objects during disassembly of the service location. · Reassemble disassembled parts carefully in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean cover must be

FAX

placed over parts.

· Use paper waste. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of the danger of lint adhering to parts.

· Clean disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) with kerosene which shall be removed by blowing with E

FOR MEXICO : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and F

"SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000004755087

The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along G

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. 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 H

air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the "SRS AIRBAG" and "SEAT BELT" of 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 must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 "SRS AIRBAG".

· Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness

connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors while ignition switch is ON or engine is running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. M Heavy vibration may activate the sensor(s), deploy the airbag(s), possibly cause serious injury. When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery, and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

FOR MEXICO

FOR MEXICO : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and F

"SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000004755086

The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along G

with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain

air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the "SRS AIRBAG" and "SEAT BELT" of 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 must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 "SRS AIRBAG".

· Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness

connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors while ignition switch is ON or engine is running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. M Heavy vibration may activate the sensor(s), deploy the airbag(s), possibly cause serious injury. When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery, and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

FOR MEXICO : Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Dis-

connect

INFOID:0000000004755085

NOTE:

· Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables. · After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.

· Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.

This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.

If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.

If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure

below before starting the repair operation.
