Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)“AIR
BAG”and“SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NLBR0081The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” 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.

Precautions for Brake SystemNLBR0002+Recommended fluid is brake fluid“DOT 4”.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
+To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
+Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.
+Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to“Brake Burnishing Procedure”,“ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, BR-7.
WARNING:
+Clean brake pads with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust
collector.

5. Fill up reservoir tank with new brake fluid.
6. Plug all ports on master cylinder with fingers to prevent air
suction while releasing brake pedal.
7. Have driver depress brake pedal slowly several times until no
air comes out of master cylinder.
8. Fit brake lines to master cylinder.
9. Tighten flare nuts.

Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
+When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal
because piston will pop out.
+Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
+If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
+It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
+Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.

1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove pin bolt.
3. Open cylinder body upward. Then remove pad with retainers,
inner and outer shims.
Standard pad thickness:
11 mm (0.43 in)
Pad wear limit:
2.0 mm (0.079 in)
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
