Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951709
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. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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 three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000009463677
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000009463678
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake wi th a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.
CAUTION:
• Brake fluid use. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted su rfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe
it off immediately and wash with wa ter if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning th e master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-
ponents.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and
cause improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the engine intake manifold.
3. Remove the vacuum hose.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Inspect the vacuum hose and one-way check valve before installation. Refer to BR-33, "Inspection After
Removal".
CAUTION:
• Because the vacuum hose contains a one-way check val ve, the hose must be installed in the correct
position. Refer to the stamp on the hose to confi rm the correct direction for installation. The brake
booster will not operate normally if the ho se is installed in the wrong direction.
• Do not use lubricating oil during assembly.
• Insert the vacuum hose at least 24 mm (0.94 in) onto the brake booster fitting as shown.

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

Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000009463735
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear br ake using a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow by
compressed air.
• Brake fluid use refer to BR-8, "Inspection"
.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
• After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder t han normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
• Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) harness connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the parts.
