AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Manual OperationEIS002Y4
The driving position [seat position, steering wheel, pedal position (accelerator, brake) and door mirror position]
can be adjusted with the power seat switch LH, pedal adjusting switch, door mirror switch or ADP steering
switch.
NOTE:

The door mirrors can be manually operated with the ignition switch turned to ACC or ON.

Only when A/T selector lever is in P position, adjusting pedal operates (except when ignition switch turned
to OFF).

If A/T device (detent switch) error is detected, manual adjustable pedal operation cannot be performed
when ignition switch turns ON.
Automatic OperationEIS002Y5
NOTE:

Disconnecting the battery erases the stored memory.

After connecting the battery, insert the key into the ignition cylinder and turn the front door switch LH ON (open)→OFF (close)→ON
(open), the Entry/ Exiting function becomes possible.

After Exiting operation is carried out, return operation can be operated.
NOTE:
During automatic operation, if the ignition switch is turned ON→START, the automatic operation is suspended. When the ignition switch
returns to ON, it resumes.
System DescriptionEIS002Y6

The system automatically moves the driver seat and steering wheel to facilitate entry/exit to/from the vehi-
cle. The driver seat control unit can also store the optimum driving positions (front seat, pedal position and
door mirror position) for 2 people. One-touch operation allows changing between driving positions.

fob unlock button.
Auto operation temporary stop
conditions.When ignition switch is turned to START during seat memory switch operation and return
operation, seat memory switch operation and return operation is stopped.
Auto operation stop conditions.

When the vehicle speed becomes 7 km/h (4 MPH) or higher (memory switch operation
and entry operation).

When the setting switch, seat memory switch 1, or 2 are pressed.

When A/T selector lever is in any position other than P.

When the door mirror switch is operated (when ignition switch turned to ON).

When power seat switch turned ON.

When pedal adjusting switch turned ON.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS000VY
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WA RN ING:

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 harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for SRS “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” ServiceEHS000VZ

Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.

Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 min-
utes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.

The air bag diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with the arrow mark “⇐” pointing toward the
front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check air bag diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or
rust before installation and replace as required.

The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.

Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing
down.

Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.

After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Occupant Classification System PrecautionEHS000W0
Replace control unit and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Trouble Diagnosis PrecautionEHS000W1
When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-15, "How to Read Wiring Diagrams" in GI section

PG-4, "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" in PG section
When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

GI-11, "HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSES" in GI section

GI-27, "How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical Incident" in GI section
Check for any service bulletins before servicing the vehicle.

Note 1: When a malfunction occurs, it is only displayed and not stored in the memory.
Note 2: When the wait detection switch has been properly fixed, malfunction information is erased from the memory.
Note 3: If 4WD shift switch is left between 4H and 4LO for a while, this indication may be displayed.
(*1): If the malfunction is detected only while driving in reverse, check the continuity of “R” position on A/T PNP switch. When there is
nothing wrong with the electrical system, check the hydraulic system.
(*2): If a revolution sensor malfunction is detected at the same time, check the revolution sensor circuit first.
Note 4: When this malfunction is detected with the ABS warning lamp off, first check for disconnection or shorting in the harness
between the transfer control unit and the ABS control unit.

tion first.Shift actuator abnormal
