FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR 
BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000003751410

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 AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” 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 “SRS AIRBAG”.

• 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

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

INFOID:0000000003073111

CAUTION:

• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-

function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, 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. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.

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

lowing handling precautions must be observed:

- Immediately cap (seal) 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. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.

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

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

Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

Take the appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified
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.

• If repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never reintroduce

contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant product retailer
for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant must be dis-
posed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all refrigerant sys-
tem 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.

General Refrigerant Precaution

INFOID:0000000003073112

WARNING:

• Never breath A/C refrigerant, 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 require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge occurs.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.

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

refrigerant each 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. 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.

< PRECAUTION >

[WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]

PRECAUTIONS

• 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 HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-

tioning 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 property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.

Refrigerant Connection

INFOID:0000000003073113

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

O-RING AND REFRIGERANT CONNECTION

CAUTION:

The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. Refrigerant may leak at the connection if a wrong O-ring is
installed.

WARNING:

Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.

CAUTION:

Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure

to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.

• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.

Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.

• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal

caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to

apply lubricant to threaded portion.

• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Be careful not to damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is

installed to tube correctly.

[WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]

PRECAUTIONS

• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.

Disconnect the line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
the connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Service Equipment

INFOID:0000000003073114

RECOVERY/RECYCLING EQUIPMENT

Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for machine operation and machine maintenance. Never
introduce any refrigerant other than that specified into the machine.

ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR

Be certain to follow the manufacturer instructions for tester operation and tester maintenance.

VACUUM PUMP

The lubricant contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible
with the specified lubricant for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems.
The vent side of the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pres-
sure. So the vacuum pump lubricant may migrate out of the pump
into the service hose. This is possible when the pump is switched
OFF after evacuation (vacuuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve placed near the hose-
to-pump connection, as per the following.
• Vacuum pumps usually have a manual isolator valve as part of the

pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the pump.

• Use a hose equipped with a manual shut-off valve near the pump

end for pumps without an isolator. Close the valve to isolate the
hose from the pump.

• Disconnect the hose from the pump if the hose has an automatic

shut-off valve. As long as the hose is connected, the valve is open
and lubricating oil may migrate.

Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the ability of
the pump to create a deep vacuum and are not recommended.

Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2

-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-

vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.

SERVICE HOSES

Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with a black stripe). All hoses must equip positive
shut-off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the
hoses opposite to the manifold gauge.

SERVICE COUPLERS

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers do
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharge and contamination may
occur.

REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE

Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2

-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.

CHARGING CYLINDER

Use of a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into the air from the top valve of
the cylinder when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than
that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

General Precautions

INFOID:0000000003073115

CAUTION:

• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing the

compressor. Refer to 

HA-25, "Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity"

.

• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth

moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.

• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service

operation. This equally distributes lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.

• Apply voltage to the new compressor and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor

magnet clutch.
