Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and
proper servicing. These precautions are not described in
each individual section.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) ``AIR BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the
driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System
consists of an air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), 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:
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 performed by an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit
related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness connectors or
for the complete harness, for easy identification.
