Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005851897
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR 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 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 inopera tive, 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 unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified 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 Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c 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 minu tes before performing any service.
Precaution Necessary for Steering W heel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005851898
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 disconnecting 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 pow er 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.

ANTI-PINCH OPERATION
 Pinch foreign material in the door glass during AUTO-U P operation, and it is the anti-pinch function that low-
ers the door glass 150 mm (5.91 in) or 2 seconds when detected.
 Encoder continues detecting the movement of power window motor and transmits to power window switch
as the encoder pulse signal while power window motor is operating.
 Resistance is applied to the power window motor ro tation that changes the frequency of encoder pulse sig-
nal if foreign material is trapped in the door glass.
 Front power window switch LH/RH and rear power wi ndow control unit LH/RH controls to lower the window
glass for 150 mm (5.91 in) or 2 seconds after it detects encoder pulse signal frequency change.
OPERATION CONDITION
 When all door glass AUTO-UP operation is performed ( anti-pinch function does not operate just before the
door glass closes and is fully closed)
NOTE:
Depending on environment and driving conditions, if a similar impact or load is applied to the door glass, it
may lower.
KEY CYLINDER SWITCH OPERATION
Hold the door key cylinder to the LOCK or UNLOCK direction for more than 1 second to OPEN or CLOSE front
power windows when ignition switch is OFF. In addition, it stops when key position is moved to NEUTRAL
when operating.
OPERATION CONDITION
 Ignition switch OFF
 Hold door key cylinder to LOCK position for more than 1 second to perform CLOSE operation of the door
glass.
 Hold door key cylinder to UNLOCK position for more than 1 second to perform OPEN operation of the door glass.
KEYLESS POWER WINDOW DOWN OPERATION
Front power windows open when the unlock button on Intelli gent Key is activated and kept pressed for more
than 3
(NOTE) seconds with the ignition switch OFF. The wi ndows keep opening if the unlock button is continu-
ously pressed.
The power window opening stops when the following operations are performed:
 When the unlock button is kept pressed more than 15 seconds.
 When the ignition switch is turned ON while the power window opening is operated.
 When the unlock button is released.
While retained power operation is activated, ke yless power window down function cannot be operated.
NOTE:
Keyless power window down operation mode can be changed by “PW DOWN SET” mode in “WORK SUP-
PORT”. Refer to DLK-56, "CONSULT-III F unction (INTELLIGENT KEY)"
.
NOTE:
Use CONSULT-III to change settings.

• 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.
