Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and
proper servicing.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Restraint System “Air Bag” and “Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner”, used along with a seat belt, help to reduce the
risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a
frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of
air bag modules (located in the center of the steering wheel and
on the instrument panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-
tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring har-
ness and spiral cable.
If the vehicle is equipped with side air bag as the Supplemental
Restraint System, the side air bag used along with the seat belt
helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front
passenger in a side collision. The side air bag consists of air bag
modules (located in the outer side of front seats), satellite sensor,
diagnosis sensor unit (which is one of components of air bags for
a frontal collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (which is one of
components of air bags for a frontal collision).
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 dealer.
●
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional activation of the system.
●
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit
related to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with
yellow insulation (either just before the harness connec-
tors or for the complete harness), for easy identification.
Precautions for NATS
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it with-
out the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS
registered.
The NATS security indicator is located on the instrument panel.
The indicator flashes when the ignition switch is in “LOCK” or
“Acc” position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle
is equipped with the anti-theft system.
●
When NATS detects trouble, the malfunction indicator (MI)
flashes.
This flashing indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning, so
prompt service is required.
●
When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialisa-
tion and additional registration of other NATS ignition key
IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS soft-
ware is necessary.
