Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003940151
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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIRBAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.
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 AIRBAG”.
 Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
Service NoticeINFOID:0000000003812880
 When removing or installing various parts, place a cloth or padding onto the vehicle body to prevent
scratches.
 Handle trim, molding, instruments, grille, etc. carefully during removing or installing. Be careful not to oil or
damage them.
 Apply sealing compound where necessary when installing parts.
 When applying sealing compound, be careful that the sealing compound does not protrude from parts.
 When replacing any metal parts (for example body outer panel, members, etc.), be sure to take rust preven-
tion measures.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000003812881
 When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
 When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component
with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
 Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.
 Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
 If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.
 Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
 After re-installation is completed, be sure to check that each part works normally.
 Follow the steps below to clean components.
- Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the
fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
- Oily foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%), and wipe
the fouled area.
Then dip a cloth into fresh water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the detergent off. Then rub with
a soft and dry cloth.
 Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol, and gasoline.
 For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

Precautions for SuspensionINFOID:0000000003811137
CAUTION:
• When installing rubber bushings, the final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions
with tires on ground. Oil might shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
- Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.
 After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.
 Self-lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nuts are
pre-oiled, tighten as they are.

Precaution for Seat Belt ServiceINFOID:0000000003848851
CAUTION:
 Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect
both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
 Never use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.
 After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat belt
pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRC-10, "
Diagnosis Description".
 Deploy front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly before disposing. Refer to SR-25, "
Caution for Air Bag
Module and Seat Belt Pre-tensioner"
 Never use disassembled buckle or seat belt assembly.
 Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
 Never oil tongue and buckle.
 If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, never repair. Replace the entire seat belt
assembly.
 If webbing is cut, frayed or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
 When replacing seat belt assembly, use a Genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attached hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Not doing so could
result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision
should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-tensioners
should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which the air bags
are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
 The seat belt is in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and buck-
les show no damage and continue to operate properly).
 The seat belt is damaged in an accident (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide).
 The seat belt attaching point is damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage or
distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
 Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
 The front seat belt pre-tensioner must be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
