Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000004900823
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 severi ty 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 w hether 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 inoper ative, 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 in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Rear SuspensionINFOID:0000000001732010
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with thetires 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.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000004886907
NOTE:
• This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
• Remove and install all control units after disconnecti ng both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″ LOCK ″ position.
• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS , an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.

Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001606205
REMOVAL
When removing or installing the seat trim, handle it carefully to keep dirt out and avoid damage.
CAUTION:
• Before removing the front seat, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait
at least 3 minutes.
• When checking the power seat circuit for continuity using a circuit tester, do not confuse its connec-
tor with the side air bag module connector. Su ch an error may cause the air bag to deploy.
• Do not drop, tilt, or bump the side air bag modul e while installing the seat. Always handle it with
care.
• After front side air bag module inflat es, front seatback assembly must be replaced.
• Front passenger seat is equipped with an Occupant Classification System sensor and control mod-
ule. Do not disassemble front passenger seat cushion assembly or remove the trim as this will affect
the Occupant Classificatio n System calibration.
• Always replace passenger seat cushion as an assembly.
1. Slide the seat until the four body mounting bolts are visible and a tool can be inserted.
NOTE:
• If disassembling the seat after removal, set the front/rear cushion lifters to the top position.
2. Disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
3. Disconnect the side air bag module harness connector.
4. Remove the four body mounting bolts.
5. Disconnect the power seat harness connectors and remove the seat from the vehicle.
NOTE:
When removing and installing the seat, use shop cloths to protect the vehicle from damage.
