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

INFOID:0000000007541303

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.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Check the seat belt warning lamp for proper operation as pen the following:

Turn ignition switch ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate.

Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should turn OFF.

If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, perform self-diagnosis with CONSULT and air bag warning lamp.
Refer to

SRC-18, "Diagnosis Description"

Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are tightened firmly.

Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Check that guide
swivels freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Check that height adjuster operates
properly and holds securely.

Check retractor operation:

Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears and other damage.

Allow the seat belt to retract. Check that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If the
seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Dirt build-up in the
loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.

Fasten the seat belt. Check that seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.

Inspect the front seat belt through-anchor

Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.685 in) or more.

Fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening with a clip or other device.

Pass a thin wire through the through-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it
tightly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to remove dirt
stuck there.

Any dirt that cannot be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.

Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the through-anchor webbing opening.
NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no slack or wrinkling.

Remove the clip fixing the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.

Repeat steps above if necessary to check the other seat belts.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK

Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)

NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop) the
retractor locks and prevent the webbing from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors except
the driver seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also called child
restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt is fully
extended. When the webbing is then retracted partially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt in a
specific position so the webbing cannot be extended any further. To cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat belt
to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors with the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.

ELR Function Stationary Check

Grasp the shoulder webbing and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from
extending further.

ALR Function Stationary Check

Pull out the entire length of the seat belt from the retractor until a click is heard.

Retract the webbing partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the webbing retracts indicating that the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode.

Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retractor. The webbing must lock and not extend any further. If it
does not operate normally, replace the retractor assembly.

Allow the entire length of the webbing to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.

ELR Function Moving Check

WARNING:

Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. Never perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the
retractor does not lock.

Fasten driver seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.

Proceed to the designated safe area.

Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a sudden stop and the
driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event that the retractor does not lock.
Apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.

During stopping, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock,
perform the retractor off-vehicle check.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK

PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000007539657

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 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.

INFOID:0000000007539658

• Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
• Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait at least 3

minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the battery negative terminal is removed, it is still possible for the air bag
and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3
minutes have elapsed.

• Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks “

⇐

” pointing towards the front of the

vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before installa-
tion and replace as required.

• The spiral cable must be aligned in the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not turn steering

wheel and column after removal of steering gear.

• Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad side

facing upward and seat mounted front side air bag module standing with the stud bolt side facing down.

• Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper functioning after replacing any components.
• After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
• Always replace instrument panel pad following front passenger air bag deployment.
