A BELT PRE-TENSIONER" NFS00001 The Supplemental Restraint System such as "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER", used along B 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. C Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man- ual. WARNING: D q 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 per- formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E q Improper 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. BR q 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 and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors. G Precautions for Battery Service NFS00002 Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the H window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic window function will not work with the battery disconnected. Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top Cover I NFS000HT When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc. J K L PIIB3706J Precautions for Brake System M NFS00003 q Recommended fluid is brake fluid "DOT 3". Refer to MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants" . q Do not reuse drained brake fluid. q Do not let brake fluid come in contact with painted surfaces on the body. This might damage the paint, so if it does come in contact, immediately wipe area and wash off with water. q To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder and disc brake caliper, use clean brake fluid. q Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system. Revision: 2006 November BR-3 2007 350Z PRECAUTIONS q Use flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench when removing and installing brake tube. q When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque. q Before working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the connectors of ABS actuator and control unit or the battery negative terminal. q Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-38, "Brake Burnishing Procedure" . WARNING: Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.
