PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NJS000D2
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 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 Battery ServiceNJS000D3
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
Precautions for Procedures without Cowl Top CoverNJS000CP
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Control OperationNJS0000M
MODE CONTROL DIAL
The air discharge outlets are controlled with this dial.
Mode doors are set to the defrost position with this dial. Also, intake doors are set to the outside air position.
When shifting mode control dial to D/F, D/F2 or DEF position under the following conditions, compressor is
turned ON. (A/C LED ON)

FAN: O N

A/C: OFF
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The set temperature is increased or decreased with this dial.
FAN CONTROL DIAL
The blower speed is automatically or manually controlled with this dial. Twenty-five speeds are available for
manual control.
Shifting fan control dial to AUTO, compressor is turned ON automatically.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
INTAKE SWITCH

When intake switch is ON, REC LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.

When press intake switch again, FRE LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.

When intake switch is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE LEDs blink twice.
Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during automatic control.

When FRE LED is turned ON, shifting mode control dial to D/F, D/F2 or DEF, or when compressor is
turned from ON to OFF, intake switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be
re-entered by pressing intake switch again, and then compressor is turned ON. (Except D/F, D/F2 or DEF
position)
A/C SWITCH
Compressor is ON or OFF with this switch.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the fan control dial is ON, will turn OFF the A/C switch and compressor.)
