AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
Manual OperationEIS004XC
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 remote control switch or
ADP steering switch.
NOTE:

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

Adjustable pedals can only operate when A/T shift lever is in P position (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 OperationEIS004XD
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 DescriptionEIS004XE

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 (driver seat, steering wheel,
pedal position and door mirror position) for 2 people. One-touch operation allows changing between driv-
ing positions.

ing functionExiting operation At exit, the seat moves backward and the steering wheel raises. (Exiting position)
Entry operationAt entry, the seat and steering wheel return from Exiting position to the previous driv-
ing position before the Exiting operation.
Keyfob interlock operationPerform memory operation, turnout operation and return operation by pressing key-
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 shift lever is in any position other than P.

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

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EHS0016A
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” ServiceEHS0016B

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 bags and seat belt
pre-tensioners to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.

The air 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 PrecautionEHS0016C
Replace control unit and passenger front seat cushion as an assembly.
Trouble Diagnosis PrecautionEHS0016D
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.

On steady>>Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to TF-50, "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CON-
SULT-II)" (with CONSULT-II) or TF-50, "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CON-
SULT-II)" (without CONSULT-II).
Flash rapidly>>GO TO TF-128, "
4WD Warning Lamp Flashes Rapidly" .
Flash slowly>>GO TO TF-129, "
4WD Warning Lamp Flashes Slowly" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK TIGHT CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM (1)
1. Set 4WD shift switch to “AUTO” position.
2. Drive vehicle at speed lower than 20 km/h (12 MPH) with steering wheel fully turned.
Does tight corner braking symptom occur?
YES >> GO TO TF-130, "Heavy Tight-corner Braking Symptom Occurs" .
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK TIGHT CORNER BRAKING SYMPTOM (2)
1. Set 4WD shift switch to “4HI” position.
2. Drive vehicle at speed lower than 20 km/h (12 MPH) with steering wheel fully turned.
Does tight corner braking symptom occur?
YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> GO TO TF-131, "
4WD System Does Not Operate" .
