Precautions
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONERº
NBRS0001The 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 for certain types of
collision. The SRS composition which is available to INFINITI QX4 is as follows:
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), seat belt
pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
IFor a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of side air bag module (located in the outer side of front seat),
satellite sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision), wiring harness,
warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
WARNING:
ITo 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 INFINITI dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
IDo 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 tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTION FOR SEAT BELT SERVICENBRS0002CAUTION:
IBefore removing the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both
battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
IDo not use electrical test equipment for seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
IAfter replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting seat belt pre-ten-
sioner connector, check the system function. Refer to ªSRS Operation Checkº (RS-38) for details.
IDo not use disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
IReplace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
INever oil tongue and buckle.
IIf any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt
assembly.
IIf webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
IWhen replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine seat belt assembly.
After A CollisionNBRS0002S01WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioner
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly if:
IThe seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
IThe seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)
IThe seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for dam-
age or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
IAnchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
IThe seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.

Maintenance ItemsNBRS0011CAUTION:
Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuit.
1. Check operation of ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
After turning ignition key to ªONº position, air bag warning lamp
illuminates. The ªAIR BAGº warning lamp will go off after about
7 seconds if no malfunction is detected. If any of the following
warning lamp conditions occur, immediately check the air bag
or seat belt pre-tensioner system. Refer to RS-38 for details.
IThe ªAIR BAGº warning lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned ªONº.
IThe ªAIR BAGº warning lamp does not go off about 7 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned ªONº.
IThe ªAIR BAGº warning lamp blinks after about 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned ªONº.
2. Visually check SRS components.
1) Diagnosis sensor unit
ICheck diagnosis sensor unit and bracket for dents, cracks and
deformities.
ICheck connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
2) Air bag module and steering wheel
IRemove air bag module from steering wheel, instrument panel
or seatback. Check harness cover and connectors for damage,
terminals for deformities, and harness for binding.
IInstall driver air bag module to steering wheel to check fit or
alignment with the wheel.
ICheck steering wheel for excessive free play.
IInstall passenger air bag module to instrument panel to check
fit or alignment with the instrument panel.
IInstall side air bag module to seatback to check fit and align-
ment with the seat.
3) Spiral cable
ICheck spiral cable for dents, cracks, or deformities.
ICheck connectors and protective tape for damage.
ICheck steering wheel for noise, binding or heavy operation.
4) Main harness, air bag harness, body harness, side air bag
module sub-harness
ICheck connectors for poor connections, damage, and termi-
nals for deformities.
ICheck harnesses for binding, chafing or cut.
5) Seat belt pre-tensioner
ICheck harness cover and connectors for damage, terminals
for deformities, and harness for binding.
ICheck belts for damage and anchors for loose mounting.
ICheck retractor for smooth operation.
IPerform self-diagnosis for seat belt pre-tensioner using air bag
warning lamp or CONSULT-II. Refer to ªSRS Operation Checkº
for details. (RS-38)
6) Satellite sensor
ICheck satellite sensor (including bracket portion) for dents,
cracks or deformities.
ICheck connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
CAUTION:
Replace previously used special bolts and ground bolt with
new ones.
