FOR USA AND CANADA

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

INFOID:0000000003751442

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
connectors.

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

When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors while ignition switch is
ON or engine is running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer.
Heavy vibration may activate the sensor(s), deploy the airbag(s), possibly cause serious injury.
When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery,
and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

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

INFOID:0000000003469381

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:0000000003469382

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.
