Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along
with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL D22 is as follows (The com-
position varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
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:
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 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 RS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral Cable and wiring harnesses (except ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº) cov-
ered with yellow insulation either just before the harness connectors or for the complete harness
are related to the SRS.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG''
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'' used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision. The SRS composition which is avail-
able to NISSAN MODEL D22 is as follows (The composition varies according to the destination and optional
equipment.):
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), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spi-
ral cable.
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 per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal 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. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
