PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST
 The IBA system is a not collision avoidance system. It is the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
 As there is a performance limit, it may not prov ide a warning or brake in certain conditions.
 The system will not detect the following objects:
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
 The system will not detect under the following conditions:
- When the sensor gets dirty and it is impossibl e to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e. sunlight)
 The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, the sys-
tem may not function properly under the following conditions:
- When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead are positioned high or close each other (including a small vehicle
such as motorcycles).
- When the sensor gets dirty or and it is impossi ble to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow and road spray.
- When visibility is low (such as rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles are raised up.
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) fr om vehicles reduces the sensor visibility.
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of vehicle.
- When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
- On steep downhill or roads with sharp curves.
- When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e. very close to other vehicle, signboard,
etc.).
- While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
 Depending on certain road conditions (curved, beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position,
vehicle position), or preceding vehicle ′s conditions (position in lane, etc. ), the system may not function prop-
erly.
 The system may not function in offset conditions.
 The system may not function when the distanc e to the vehicle ahead is extremely close.
 The system detect highly reflective objects such as reflectors, signs, white markers, and other stationary objects on the road or
near the traveling lane, and when in extreme conditions, detection
of these objects may caus e the system to function.
 The system is designed to automatically check the sensor ′s func-
tionality. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translu-
cent plastic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these
instances the system may not be able to warn properly. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
 Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
 Never step in under the brake pedal to avoid an accident when IBA
system turns ON.
 Sudden appearance of the vehicle in front (i.e. it abrupt ly cuts in) may not be detected and the system may
not warn soon enough.
 The system will be cancelled automatically with a beep sound and the IBA OFF indicator lamp will illuminate
under the following conditions:
- When the sensor window is dirty
- When the system malfunctions

 This section is prepared for technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience in repairingcollision-damaged vehicles and also use modern serv ice tools and equipment. Persons unfamiliar with body
repair techniques should not attempt to repair collision-damaged vehicles by using this section.
 Technicians are also encouraged to read the Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) in order to ensure that the
original functions and quality of the vehicle are ma intained. The Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) con-
tains additional information, including cautions and warnings, that are not including in this manual. Techni-

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint S
ystem (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006224261
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 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 “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
 Do not use electrical test equipmen t 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 Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric 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.
Precautions For Harness RepairINFOID:0000000006224262
ITS communication uses a twisted pair line. Be careful when repairing it.
 Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area.
NOTE:
A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).
