Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EIS0045G
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 EIS0045H
●When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, which
may get in the way with cloth.
●When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
●Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
●If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
●If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
●Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
●After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
●Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
●Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS000T1
WARNING:
●Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor failure is likely to occur.
●The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
●When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
●When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
●Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
●Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R-
134a) recovery equipment). If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before
resuming service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and
lubricant manufacturers.
●Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam
parts. Damage may result.

General Refrigerant PrecautionsEJS000T2
WARNING:
●Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
●Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.
●Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52°C (125°F).
●Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
●Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
●Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
●Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.
●Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.
Lubricant PrecautionsEJS0027Y
●Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components.
If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
●The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
●When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize
the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
●When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con-
necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
●Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant. With-
out proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
●Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment, or J2209 HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery
equipment. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional
health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
●Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S or R) to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Dam-
age may result.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
●When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Malfunction to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber.
●When connecting tubes, always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench.
●After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
●When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
●Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
●Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
●Always replace used O-rings.
●When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
●O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
●When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
●Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
●After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS000T5
●Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
●When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
●When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sor” exactly. Refer to ATC-24, "
Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor" .
●Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with lubri-
cant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner. With gasoline engine
