PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000006225819
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.
Precaution for Trouble DiagnosisINFOID:0000000006216211
AV COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
 Do not apply voltage of 7.0 V or higher to the measurement terminals.
 Use the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0 V or less.
 Be sure to turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal before
checking the circuit.
Precaution for Harness RepairINFOID:0000000006216212

MULTI AV SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006216216
Multi AV system means that the following systems are integrated.
COMMUNICATION SIGNAL
 AV control unit function by transmitting/receiving dat a one by one with each unit (slave unit) that configures
them completely as a master unit by connecting between units that configure MULTI AV system with two AV
communication lines (H, L).
 Two AV communication lines (H, L) adopt a twisted pair line that is resistant to noise.
 AV control unit is connected by CAN communication, and it receives data signal from ECM and combination
meter It computes and displays fuel economy information value with the obtained information. Transmitting/
receiving of data signal is performed by BCM. Also, it transmits the required signal of vehicle setting and
receives the response signal.
 AV control unit is connected with front display unit and serial communication, and it transmits the required
signal of display and display control and receives the response signal from front display unit.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM FUNCTION
Description
 The AV control unit controls navigation function whil e GPS tuner has built-in map data, GYRO (angle speed
sensor), on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
 The AV control unit inputs operation signal with communication signal, through display (touch panel) and multifunction switch and steering switch.
 Guide sound is output to front speaker through BOSE am p. from AV control unit when operating navigation
system.
 A vehicle position is calculated with the GYRO (angl e speed sensor), vehicle sensor, signal from GPS satel-
lite and map data stored on HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and transmits the map image signal (RGB image, RGB
area, RGB image synchronizing) to the display.
Position Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the current vehicle
position according to the following three types of signals.
 Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle speed
sensor
 Vehicle turning angle determined by the gyroscope (angular speed
sensor)
 The travel direction of the v ehicle determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data, which is stored in the HDD
(Hard Disk Drive) (map-matching), and indicated on the screen with
a current location mark. More accurate data is used by comparing
position detection results from GPS to the map-matching.

The current position is calculated by detecting the travel distance
from the previous calculation point, and its direction change.
 Travel distance The travel distance is generat ed from the vehicle speed sensor
input signal. The automatic distance correction function is adopted
for preventing a miss-detection of the travel distance because of
tire wear etc.
 Travel direction The gyroscope (angular veloci ty sensor) and GPS antenna (GPS
information) generate the change of t he travel direction. Both have
advantages and disadvantages as per the following descriptions.
Input signals are prioritized in each situation. However, this order of priority may change in accordance with
more detailed travel conditions so that the tr avel direction is detected more accurately.
Map-matching
Map-matching repositions the vehicle on the road map when a new
location is judged to be more accurate. This is done by comparing
the current vehicle position (calculated by the normal position detec-
tion method) from the map data stored in the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
There is a possibility that the vehicle position may not be corrected in the following case, and when vehicle is
driven over a certain distance or time in which GPS in formation is hard to receive. Correct manually the cur-
rent location mark on the screen.
 In map-matching, several alternative routes are prepared and pri- oritized in addition to the road judged as currently driving on.
Therefore, due to errors in the distance and/or direction, an incor-
rect road may be prioritized, and the current location mark may be
repositioned to the incorrect road.
If two roads are running in parallel, they are of the same priority.
Therefore, the current location mark may appear on either of them
alternately, depending on maneuvering of the steering wheel and
configuration of the road, etc.
