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.

IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-

IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS ªAIR BAGº AND ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº SERVICENBRS0006IDo not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
IBefore servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ªOFFº, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
IDiagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks ªgº pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
IThe spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
IHandle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and passenger air bag modules with the pad side
facing upward and side air bag module (built-in type) standing with the stud bolt side setting bottom.
IConduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
IAfter air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
