Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003819818
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.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE
Preparation Before Adjustment
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
 After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select
and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
 Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
 Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
a. Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz) bal-
ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
36.2 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
36.3 ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz)
b. Installed balance weight in the position.
 When installing balance weight (1) to road wheels, set it into
the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as
shown in the figure so that the balance weight center (B) is
aligned with the tire balance machine indication position
(angle) (C).
CAUTION:
 Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.
 Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with
new ones.
 Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start the tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weight.
5. Start the tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer
residual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
6. If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
 Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-5, "
General Maintenance".
 When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
 When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
 Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
 Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
