Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NLEL0001The 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 system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL V10 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
+For 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), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
+For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (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).
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 inflation, all maintenance should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
+Improper 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.
+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 covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

NATS AUDIO LINKNLEL0497S01DescriptionNLEL0497S0101The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the ªNEWº state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in ªNEWº state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication
with the vehicle's immobiliser control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the ªaudio unit Codeº) to the IMMU. The
IMMU will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialisation process, ªNEWº is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio unit seems to switch on
directly without showing ªNEWº on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, ªWAITº is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time (300 ms) that the audio
unit seems to switch on directly without showing ªWAITº on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (ªSECUREº) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the audio
unit is reset to the ªNEWº state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called ªdecoder boxesº which can bring
the audio unit back to the ªNEWº state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be

carried out. Subsequently, when the repaired audio unit is delivered to the final user again, it will be in the
ªNEWº state as to enable re-linking the audio unit to the vehicle's immobiliser system. As a result of the above,
repair of the audio unit can only be done by an authorized Clarion representative.
Service instruction
Item Radio linked with IMMU and/or SECU
Battery disconnection No additional action required
Radio needs repair Repair needs to be done by authorised representative of radio manufacturer since radio
cannot be operated unless it is reset to NEW state, using special decoding equipment
Replacement of radio by new part Radio is delivered in NEW state. If possible, the radio will automatically link up with the
immobiliser system. If this appears not possible, CATS code needs to be manually input
Transferring radio to another vehicle /
replacement of radio by an ªoldº partRadio needs to be reset to NEW state by authorised representative of radio manufacturer
Replacement of IMMU by new part Radio will request for CATS code input prior to establishing the link with the IMMU
Replacement of IMMU by old part If a radio code has already been stored in memory of the IMMU, the radio cannot be
linked to it. After switching on the radio, it will display ªSECUREº after 1 minute. Operation
can only be established after resetting the ratio by an authorised representative of radio
manufacturer
No communication from IMMU to
radioRadio will display ªSECUREº after 180 attempts to communicate with IMMU. Further use
of radio impossible until communication is established again, or after radio is reset by
authorised representative of (radio) manufacturer
CATS code input procedure
1. Radio displays ªCODE INº after the power is switched ON.
2. Enter CATS code (4±digits) by pressing the preset buttons (using 1 to 4).
Press the preset buttons for the necessary amount of times for the number of each digits.
e.g. CATS code is ª5432º
Press No. 1 preset button for 5 times
Press No. 2 preset button for 4 times
Press No. 3 preset button for 3 times
Press No. 4 preset button for 2 times
3. Press the
button.
4. If the code is OK, the radio will power ON.
If the code is NG, the radio will be locked up as below. After the lock up, the radio will display ªCODE INº
again.
1st to 3rd attempt: The radio will be locked for 10 seconds after each attempt
4th to 20th attempt: The radio will be locked for 60 minutes after each attempt
Over 20th attempt: The radio will be locked completely
SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROLNLEL0497S02DescriptionNLEL0497S0201If activated, the radio output volume will be automatically adjusted to compensate for increasing driving noises
at higher driving speeds.
The radio receives a speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and selects the output volume.
PERSONAL AUDIO SETTINGSNLEL0497S03DescriptionNLEL0497S0301The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations and level of speed
dependent volume control) with every NATS ignition key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be reg-
istered. During the communication as mentioned under ªNATS audio linkº, the radio will recognize the used
ignition key and select the accompanying settings.
