Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EFS002F9
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
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 must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI 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 SRS section.
●Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harness connec-
tors.
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS000BZ
●Clean dust on brake pads, shoes, drums, and back plates with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with
compressed air.
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as the body. If brake fluid is splashed or spilled
on paint, wipe it off and flush the area with water immediately.
●Use only clean brake fluid when cleaning master cylinder and disc brake components.
●Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin the rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
●Always use a flare nut torque wrench to securely tighten brake
tube flare nuts.
●The brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid
leak is detected, always disassemble the related parts. If dam-
age, deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace
affected parts with new ones.
●Before staring operation, be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF
and disconnect the ABS actuator and control module connector
or battery cables.
●When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.SBR820BA

Brake Burnishing
Procedure" .
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS0019P
●During the ESP/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates lightly and its mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
●Just after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.
●The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough,
gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
●If a malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp, or other warning lamps, collect the necessary infor-
mation from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and find out the possible
causes before starting the service. Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster operation,
brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
●If the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine
parts, the stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
●If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near the control unit, the ESP/TCS/
ABS function may have a malfunction or error.
●If aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check the electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS001CP

lision 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 (including anchor bolts) if:
●The 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).
●The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)
●The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
●Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
