Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) ``AIR BAG'' and ``SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER''
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ``AIR BAG'' and
``SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' used along with a seat belt, helps
to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front pas-
senger in a frontal collision. The SRS system composition which is
available to NISSAN MODEL Y61 is as follows (The composition
varies according to the destination.):
Driver air bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel),
front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on
passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioner, a diagnosis sensor unit,
warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
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 in¯ation, all main-
tenance must 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.
Spiral cable and wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness connectors or for
the complete harness are related to the SRS.

Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
+All applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
+It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
+Attach safety chains for all towing.
+When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
+When towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the ``OFF'' position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ``LOCK''
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
+When towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground:
Release the parking brake and move the gearshift lever to
neutral (``N'' position).
+For 4-wheel drive models:
Set the manual-lock free-running hubs to the free position and
2-way lock free-running hubs to the auto position. (See
``
Transfer case shifting procedures for 4-wheel drive
vehicles'' in ``Starting and driving'' section.) Move the transfer
case shift lever into the ``2H'' position and the transmission shift
lever into the neutral (``N'') position.
Do not shift the transfer lever to the ``4L'' position. This will
cause damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that a dolly be used as illustrated.
If you have to tow a manual transmission model with front
wheels raised (with rear wheels on ground)
Observe the following restricted raising heights.
+Do not raise the front end over!.
