PRECAUTIONS

SERVICE INFORMATION

PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000001612918

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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYS-
TEM” and “SEAT BELTS” of this Service Manual.

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 “SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM”.

• 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.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000001612920

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precaution for Brake System

INFOID:0000000001327604

• Clean dust on front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
• Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. 

MA-9, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
• To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use new brake fluid.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use a flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench when installing brake

tube.

• When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
• Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect connec-

tors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery neg-
ative terminal.

• Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing

drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to 

BR-23, "Brake Burnishing Procedure"

 (Front disc brake),

BR-29, "Brake Burnishing Procedure"

 (Rear disc brake).

WARNING:

• Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then clean with a dust collector.
