Description

INFOID:0000000009471879

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not

described in each individual section.

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

INFOID:0000000010152615

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 SR and SB section of this Service Man-

ual.

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 SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-

ness connectors.

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

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion ON or engine running, DO NOT 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 three minutes before performing any service.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp Service

INFOID:0000000009471881

WARNING:

Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.

• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power

supply fuse before installing, removing, or touching the

xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp con-

tains high-voltage generated parts.

• Never work with wet hands.

• Check the xenon headlamp ON-OFF status after assembling it

to the vehicle. Never turn the xenon headlamp ON in other

conditions. Connect the power supply to the vehicle-side con-

nector.

(Turning it ON outside the lamp case may cause fire or visual

impairments.)

• Never touch the bulb glass immediately after turning it OFF. It

is extremely hot.

CAUTION:

Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.

WKIA0460E

PRECAUTIONS

GI-27

< PRECAUTION >

• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket

installation may melt the bulb, the connector, the housing,

etc, by high-voltage leakage or corona discharge.)

• Never perform HID circuit inspection with a tester.

• Never touch the xenon bulb glass with hands. Never put oil

and grease on it.

• Dispose of the used xenon bulb after packing it in thick vinyl

without breaking it.

• Never wipe out dirt and contamination with organic solvent

(thinner, gasoline, etc.).

Procedures without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000009471882

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover

the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Cautions in Removing Battery Terminal and AV Control Unit

INFOID:0000000010152614

CAUTION:

Remove battery terminal and AV control unit after a lapse of 30 seconds or more after turning the igni-

tion switch OFF.

NOTE:

After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the AV control unit continues operating for approximately 30 seconds.

Therefore, data corruption may occur if battery voltage is cut off within 30 seconds.

General Precautions

INFOID:0000000009471883

• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without

proper exhaust ventilation.

Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable

materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflam-

mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,

etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to prop-

erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.

Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire

blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-

ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at

the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-

cle.

These operations should be done on a level surface.

• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-

saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop

them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially

the brake tubes and master cylinder.

PRECAUTIONS

• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:

Turn off ignition switch.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of

radio and each control unit is erased.

• To prevent serious burns:

Avoid contact with hot metal parts.

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

• Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an

appropriate manner.

• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle

shuts off automatically.

Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray

and possibly a fire.

• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent

prior to inspection or assembly.

• Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,

cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.

• Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

• Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

• Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).

Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

• After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

• Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

• Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended

special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.

• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,

check all affected lines for leaks.

• Before servicing the vehicle:

Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.

Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
