PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001716907
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 SR 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 SR 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 Brake SystemINFOID:0000000001716908
 Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-19, "Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surface of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted surfaces
of body immediately wipe it off with cloth and then wash it away with water.
 To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use new brake fluid.
 Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
 Use a flare nut wrench when removing a brake tube and use a
flare nut torque wrench when installing a brake tube.
 When installing brake tubes and hoses, be sure to check torque.
 Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect connec-
tors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
 Burnish the new braking surfaces after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer toBR-26, "
Brake Burnishing" .

2. Remove sliding pin bolt (lower side).
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, shims and
pad retainers from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad
retainer in the direction shown by arrow, so as not to
deform it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply M-77 grease or equivalent to the shims. Install shims to pads.
CAUTION:
Securely install shims according to mounting direction of pads.
2. Apply M7439 grease or equivalent to pad contact surface on pad retainers. Install pad retainers and pads
to the torque member.
CAUTION:
 When installing pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is
not lifted up from torque member, as shown.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press to piston in.
CAUTION:
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank for fluid level because brake fluid returns to mas-
ter cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt (lower side), and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "
Compo-
nent" .
5. Check brake for drag.
6. Install tires to the vehicle.

Before installing torque member to vehicle, wipe oil and grease on mounting surface of steering
knuckle and torque member.
2. Install brake hose to caliper assembly. Refer to BR-14, "
Hydraulic Circuit" .
3. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-8, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
4. Check front disc brake for drag.
5. Install tires to the vehicle.
Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000001717009
Burnish the new braking surfaces according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing disc rotors,
pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
 Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.
 Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake pedal for a few minutes to cool brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
CAUTION:
 While removing cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
 It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of the cylinder body. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is
not under tension.
 Do not damage piston boot.
 Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
 Keep the rotor clean of brake fluid.
 Burnish the brake contact surfaces when refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads
or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-29, "
