Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT 
PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000005550724

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 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 whether 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 inoperative, 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 incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal

injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses 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 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 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution

INFOID:0000000005272953

• Disconnect both battery cables in advance.
• Never tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
• Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
• When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts which may

get in the way with cloth.

• When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape. 
• Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
• If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
• If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
• Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
• After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
• Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain
with the cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then clean off the detergent completely.
Then wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

Adjustment

INFOID:0000000005272956

Inspect then measure the gap and height difference between the glass lid assembly and roof panel; compare
to specifications. Determine which procedure to follow based on results of measurements. 

GAP ADJUSTMENT 

If a gap or minor height difference between glass lid assembly and roof panel is found, adjust in the following
manner:
1.

Open sunshade assembly and tilt glass lid assembly up.

2.

Loosen glass lid assembly screws (2 each on left and right sides), then tilt glass lid assembly down.

3.

Manually adjust glass lid assembly from outside of vehicle so it is within specification "A-A" as shown.

4.

After adjustment, tilt glass lid assembly up and tighten screws.

5.

Tilt glass lid assembly up and down several times to check that it moves and seals properly.

HEIGHT DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT

If an excessive height difference between glass lid assembly and roof panel is found, adjust in the following
manner:

1.

Remove headlining. Refer to 

INT-24, "Removal and Installation"

.

2.

Loosen sunroof frame assembly nuts and sunroof bracket bolts.

3.

Add shims until gap is within specification "A-A" as shown.
NOTE:
Temporarily snug nuts and bolts to prevent movement between each adjustment.

4.

Tilt glass lid assembly up and down several times to check that it moves and seals properly.

5.

Tighten sunroof frame assembly nuts and sunroof bracket bolts. 
NOTE:
First tighten left front then right rear sunroof frame assembly nuts to prevent uneven torque while tighten-
ing remaining sunroof bracket bolts.

6.

Install headlining. Refer to 

INT-24, "Removal and Installation"

.
