Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
NLBT0002The 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.

Inspection and AdjustmentNLCL0006CLUTCH PEDAL INSPECTIONNLCL0006S04Pedal StrokeNLCL0006S0401Check clutch pedal stroke by using a 1±meter rule to measure the
total pedal stroke. Place end of rule onto the middle of the clutch
pedal pad. Place a book/clipboard on the driver's seat to set a ref-
erence point, ensure the book/clipboard does not move during
pedal depression. Mark (A) the pedal fully up position on the rule.
Depress the clutch pedal and mark (B) the rule again next to the
reference point on the book/clipboard. Measure the distance
between the marks (A and B), this is the actual pedal stroke (S).
Check the specified pedal stroke in the table, adjust actual pedal
stroke if necessary (refer toªCLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENTº).
NOTE:
+Do not use steering wheel as a reference point, angle gives
incorrect reading.
+Ensure there is no interference between the floor carpet and
clutch pedal when fully depressed.
