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

INFOID:0000000010451951

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. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and
“SEAT BELT” of this Service Manual.

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, 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 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, never 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.

switch and wait at least 30 seconds.

• For vehicles with the engine listed below, remove the battery termi-

nal after a lapse of the specified time:

NOTE:
ECU may be active for several tens of seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. If the battery terminal
is removed before ECU stops, then a DTC detection error or ECU data corruption may occur.

• After high-load driving, if the vehicle is equipped with the V9X engine, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait

for at least 15 minutes to remove the battery terminal.
NOTE:
• Turbocharger cooling pump may operate in a few minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
• Example of high-load driving
- Driving for 30 minutes or more at 140 km/h (86 MPH) or more.
- Driving for 30 minutes or more on a steep slope.

• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main battery and the sub battery before turning ON

the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of main battery and sub battery discon-
nected, then DTC may be detected.

• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.

NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.

• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and

throat. Remove HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J-2843 [HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) Recovery/Recycling/Recharging Equipment
for Flammable Refrigerants for Mobile Air Conditioning Systems]. Ventilate work area before resum-
ing service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-

ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Wear always 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; Place the bottom of the container in a warm

pail of water if container warming is required.

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

cation.

• Never pressure test or leakage test HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service equipment and/or vehicle air con-

ditioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may
cause injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from
refrigerant manufacturers.

WORKING WITH HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)

CAUTION:

• CFC-12 (R-12) or HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) refrigerant are not com-

patible. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMI-
NATED REFRIGERANT” below. To determine the purity of HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in the vehicle and
recovery tank, use Refrigerant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C system and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)

components. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.

• The specified HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The

following handling precautions must be observed:

- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when

removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.

- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-

erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.

- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.

Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.

- Never allow lubricant (ND-OIL 12) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) is identi-
fied in a vehicle:
• 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.

• 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. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. 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.

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

tomer Affairs for further assistance.

REFRIGERANT CONNECTION

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