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 harnesses or
harness connectors.
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 painted areas, 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.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the related parts. If damage,
deformation or excessive wear is detected, replace affected
parts with new ones.

Before starting 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

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

and flush area with water immediately.

Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause
improper operation.

Using a flare nut torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube
flare nuts.

Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is
detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction
is detected, replace part with a new one.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect har-
ness connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
or battery cable from negative terminal.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS004FV

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

When an malfunction is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from
customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before start-
ing diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level,
and oil leaks.

If tyre size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) Have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

Precautions for Brake SystemEFS0019O

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed
on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.

Using a flare nut torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube
flare nuts.

When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.

Before working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
connectors for the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit and control unit or
the battery negative terminal.

Burnish the brake pad contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a
soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-31, "
BRAKE
BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk of health hazard from powder caused
by friction.

Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS000T1
WARNING:

CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amount. If the refrigerants are mixed and compressor
malfunction is likely to occur.

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 malfunction 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. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refriger-
ant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional 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.
