Precaution for Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005384312
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 Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000005282709
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 Installation of Brake PadsINFOID:0000000005147913
WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder bod y, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.

4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,
lift it in the direction indi cated by the arrow as shown so
that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
1. Push pistons in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
By pushing in pistons, brake fluid returns to m aster cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid
level in the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the pistons.
2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install outer shim, outer shim cover to inner pad, and inner multi-layered shim to outer pad.
3. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between pad retainer and pad. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.
4. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to the piston face. Install pad return lever securely to pad wear sensor as shown.
CAUTION:
• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not
being lifted up from torque member.
• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on
the pad retainer. Install pad return lever securely to pad
wear sensor.
5. Install pads to cylinder body.
6. Install cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
In the case of replacing a pad with new one, ch eck the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank
because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a suitable tool to easily press piston.
7. Apply rubber grease and install sliding pin bolts, and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to BR-31,
"Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
8. Check front disc brake for drag.
9. Install front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "
Rotation".
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147914
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.
