Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003533088
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.
PrecautionINFOID:0000000003533089
• Disconnect both battery cables in advance.
• Never tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
• Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
• When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts which may
get in the way with cloth.
• When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
• Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
• If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
• If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
• Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
• After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
• Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000003532653
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, make
sure the battery is sufficiently charged.
CK SUSP INDICATOR LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure the CK SUSP indicator lamp turns on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition switch is
turned ON. If it does not, check the combination meter. Refer to DI-5
.
2. Make sure the lamp turns off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON. If the lamp
does not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis of the suspension control unit.

Wheel AlignmentInspectionINFOID:0000000003532671
Rear Wheel Alignment Adjusting Bolts
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface. Use CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLE-
NOID” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load leveling air suspension system.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for runout and damage. Refer to WT-5, "
Inspection" .
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play.
5. Check the shock absorbers. Refer to RSU-30, "
Removal and Installation" .
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer to RSU-44, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)" .
• If vehicle height is not within ± 10 mm (0.39 in) of the specification, perform the control unit initialization
procedure. Refer to RSU-42, "
Initialization Procedure" .
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Four-Wheel Thrust Alignment should be performed.
• This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN vehicle.
• The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel
is centered.
• The alignment machine itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
• The alignment machine should be checked to ensure that it is level.
2. Make sure the alignment machine is properly calibrated.
• Your alignment machine should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
