REMOVAL
After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or power
cutting tool and an in¯atable pump bag.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety
glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters from
entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
+Do not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may
develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
+Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equivalent
and follow the instructions furnished with it.
+While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door win-
dow. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by
passenger compartment air pressure when a door is
closed.
+The molding must be installed securely so that it is in
position and leaves no gap.
+Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain sta-
tionary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured
(preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature
and humidity.
WARNING:
+Keep heat and open ¯ames away as primers and adhesive
are ¯ammable.
+The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed,
and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes.
+Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing
the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by
vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh
air.
+Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured may affect the performance of the windshield
in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
+Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf
life of this product is limited to six months after the date
of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or
manufacture date printed on the box.
+Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally,
they should be stored in a refrigerator.
+Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended
with their caps open or off.
+The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing
time varies depending on temperature and humidities. The
curing time will increase under higher temperatures and
lower humidities.

Disposal of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-
tensioner
+Before disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, or vehicles equipped with such systems,
deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as indi-
cated in ``DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER'' (RS-21).
+When deploying the air bag module, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400,
KV99108200 and KV99108300.
+When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the
deployment component.
+When deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a fairly loud noise is made, followed by smoke
being released. The smoke is not poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale smoke since it irritates throat
and can cause choking.
+Always activate one air bag module at a time.
+Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat
belt pre-tensioner unattended for more than 10 minutes after deployment.
+Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module.
+Never apply water to a deployed air bag module.
+Wash your hands clean after ®nishing work.
+Do not dispose of the air bag module un-deployed.
+Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m (20 ft) on all sides when deploying the air
bag module while mounted in vehicle.
+Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOL
Connecting to battery
CAUTION:
The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more.
Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood
blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.
+Wait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before
proceeding.
+Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive terminal
and black clip to negative terminal.
Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the
tool, marked ``deployment tool power'', should glow with a
green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the con-
nections to the battery.
