Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorNJS000G3
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)

LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG

–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30C (77 to 86F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.

Electrical Refrigerant Leak DetectorNJS000I1
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leak
detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated
and set properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-
fied maintenance.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point to
be checked.
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to
2 in)/sec.

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NKS00485
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.
WAR NING :
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 Trouble DiagnosisNKS00486
AV COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Do not apply voltage of 7.0 V or higher to the measurement terminals.
Use the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0 V or less.
Be sure to turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal before
checking the circuit.
Precautions for Harness RepairNKS00487
AV COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Solder the repaired parts, and wrap with tape. [Frays of twisted
line must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).]
Do not perform bypass wire connections for the repair parts.
(The spliced wire will become separated and the characteristics
of twisted line will be lost.)

Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery DisconnectNIS001WC
NOTE:
Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK
position, then disconnect both battery cables.
After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure
below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
