PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003532200
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.
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 performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
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 har-
ness connectors.

General Precau-
tion" .
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank, if necessary.
• Position the vehicle so it is level.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap to release the pressure from inside the fuel tank.

more than the level as shown (full or almost full), drain the fuel
from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates the level as
shown, or less.
• If the fuel pump does not operate, use the following procedure
to drain the fuel to the specified level after disconnecting the
fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
a. Insert a suitable hose of less than 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter into
the fuel filler pipe through the fuel filler opening to drain the fuel
from fuel filler pipe.
b. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler
hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
• As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
4. Remove the LH rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .
5. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
6. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe and dis-
