CAUTION:
• Do not perform active test while driving vehicle.
• Make sure to completely bleed air from brake system.
• The active test cannot be performed with the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indi-
cator lamp or brake warning lamp on.
• ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp are on

NOTE:
• When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depression amount will change. This is normal. (Only solenoid valve and ABS motor.)
• “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed 10 seconds after operation start.
• After “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, to perform test again, touch BACK.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005855794
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:0000000005855795
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.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
If the adjustment screen does not appear on CONSULT-III 10 sec. after touching “LASER BEAM ADJUST”
screen, the following causes may be considered:
• Target is not set accurately.
• There is not enough space beside the target.
• Deformation of vehicle or inappropriate installation of sensor. Sensor may be installed out of the adjustablerange.
• The area is not suitable for the adjustment work.
• ICC sensor is not clean.
>> GO TO 2
2.LASER BEAM AIMING CONFIRMATION
After the CONSULT-III displays “ADJ UST THE VERTICAL OF LASER BEAM AIMING” turn the vertical adjust-
ing screw until “U/D CORRECT” value is set in the range of ±4.
NOTE:
• Turn the screw slowly. The value on the CONSULT-III is slower
than the actual movement of the ICC sensor. Wait 2 seconds
between each adjustment. Also, during adjustment work, do not
block the ICC sensor lens with your hand or body. In that case,
there are times when aiming cannot be conducted correctly.
• Turning the screw clockwise raises the ICC sensor and counter- clockwise lowers the ICC sensor.
>> GO TO 3
3.LASER BEAM AIMING CONFIRMATION
1. When “U/D CORRECT” value indicates ±4, confirm that the value remains within ±4 for at least 2 seconds
while nothing is touching the ICC sensor.
2. When “COMPLETED THE VERTICAL AIMING OF LASER BEAM” appears on screen, touch “END”.
NOTE:
Be sure that the margin of “U/D CORRECT” is within ±4 when the ICC sensor unit is untouched.
3. Confirm that “ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL LASER BEAM AIMING” is on screen and wait
while the horizontal adjustment is made automatically. (maximum: 10 seconds).
4. Confirm that “NORMALLY COMPLETED” is displayed on CONSULT-III and close the aiming adjustment procedure by touching “END”.
NOTE:
Complete all the procedures once “LASER BEAM AD JUST” mode is entered in CONSULT-III. When the
procedure is discontinued, the ICC system is inoperable.
>> LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT END.
CHECK AFTER THE ADJUSTMENT
Test the ICC system by performing the ICC System Running Test. Refer to CCS-8, "ACTION TEST : ICC Sys-
tem Running Test" .

NOTE:
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatica lly turned off when the driving speed lowers to 32 km/
h (20 MPH) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.
• The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE (NORMAL DRIV-
ING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

2. When the selector lever is shifted to the "N" (Neutral) position.
3. When the system is turned off.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DI STANCE CONTROL MODE
BEFORE CANCELLATION
1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is restored
when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with vehi cle speed at 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N”. Then, check if the speed set before the cancella-
tion is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored w hen ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 40 km/h
(25 MPH) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-v ehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL
switch.
CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations are performed correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed when ON/ OFF switch is pressed ON. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp and
ICC system display are OFF.
CHECK FOR ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL SWITCHES
1. Check if ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL sw itches operate smoothly.
2. Check if switch buttons r ebound as the buttons are released.
CHECK FOR DISTANCE SWITCH
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
3. Press the DISTANCE switch.
4. Check if the set distance indicator changes display in order of:
