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

INFOID:0000000000959985

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 SRS 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 SRS 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 For Xenon Headlamp Service

INFOID:0000000000959988

WARNING:

Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.
• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-

ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains high-voltage
generated parts.

• Never work with wet hands.
• Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon

headlamp ON in other conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side connector.
(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual impairments.)

• Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It is extremely hot. 

CAUTION:

Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-

tor, the housing, etc. by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)

• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.
• Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil and grease on it.
• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl without breaking it. 
• Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent (thinner, gasoline, etc.).

Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)

INFOID:0000000000959989

CAUTION:

• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants

are mixed and compressor malfunction is likely to occur, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-

nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.

• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-

lowing handling precautions must be observed:

- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to

minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.

- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, never remove the caps (unseal) until just before

connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to min-
imize the entry of moisture into system.

- Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.

Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.

- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.

Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, take appropriate steps
shown below:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into

the atmosphere.

• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-

ply.

PIIB3706J

HAC-130

< PRECAUTION >

[AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONER]

PRECAUTIONS

• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may

have occurred.

• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never

recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. If the facility does not have dedi-
cated recovery equipment, contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available service. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

• If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact Nissan Cus-

tomer Affairs for further assistance.

General Refrigerant Precaution

INFOID:0000000000959990

WARNING:

• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and

throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming
service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the

refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52

°

C (126

°

F).

• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the

bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.

• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-

focation.

• Never pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air conditioning

systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or prop-
erty damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manufactur-
ers.

Refrigerant Connection

INFOID:0000000000959991

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank

ABOUT ONE-TOUCH JOINT

Description

• One-touch joints are pipe joints which do not require tools during piping connection.
• Unlike conventional connection methods using union nuts and flanges, controlling tightening torque at con-

nection point is not necessary.

• When removing a pipe joint, use a disconnector.
