EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003532816
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.
Precaution for Steering SystemINFOID:0000000003532817
• Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
• Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
• For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
• Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with
their operation.
• Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent.
• Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent to hydraulic parts.
Petroleum jelly may be applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
• Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during installation. Per-
form functional tests whenever designated.

When mounting the drive shaft in a vise, use copper or aluminum plates between the vise and the
drive shaft.
2. Remove the boot bands.
3. If the plug needs to be removed, move the boot to the wheel side, then drive the plug out using a suitable
plastic hammer.
4. Remove the stopper ring with a flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown, and pull the housing out.
5. Remove the snap ring, then remove the ball cage, steel ball,
inner race assembly from the drive shaft.
6. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
7. Remove any old grease on the housing using paper towels.
Wheel Side
1. Mount the drive shaft in a vise.
CAUTION:
When mounting the drive shaft in a vise, use copper or aluminum plates between the vise and the
drive shaft.
2. Remove the boot bands, then remove the boot from the joint sub-assembly.
3. Screw a suitable drive shaft puller 30 mm (1.18 in) or more into
the threaded part of the joint sub-assembly. Pull the joint sub-
assembly out of the drive shaft as shown.
CAUTION:
• If the joint sub-assembly cannot be removed after five or
more attempts, replace the drive shaft and joint sub-
assembly as a set.
• Align the sliding hammer and drive shaft and remove the
joint sub-assembly by pulling directly.
4. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
5. Remove the circlip from the drive shaft.
6. While rotating the ball cage, remove any old grease on the joint sub-assembly using paper towels.

• When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear coil
springs, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point out
toward the wheel and tire assembly.
• To connect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses, the lock
ring must be fully seated in the fitting. Insert the hose “B” into the
lock ring “A” until the lock ring “A” is touching the hose “B” as
shown. Pull on the hose to check that it is securely inserted.
• Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
(unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.
• Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-19, "
Wheel Alignment (Unladen*1) *6" .
