PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000009465694

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 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Work

INFOID:0000000009759592

• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component

may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.

• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component

with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.

• Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.

• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.

• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.

• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.

• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.

• Follow the steps below to clean components:

- Water soluble dirt:

• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.

• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.

- Oily  dirt:

• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty

area.

• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

SUNROOF UNIT ASSEMBLY

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009465698

WIND DEFLECTOR

1. Open glass lid assembly fully.
2. Visually check for proper installation, damaged/deteriorated components, or foreign objects within mecha-

nism. Correct as required for smooth operation.

3. Check for grease at the wind deflector arm (1) and pivot areas. If

necessary, apply a sufficient amount of grease for non-binding

operation.

:Front 

4. Check that the wind deflector (1) moves freely within the sunroof

unit assembly while manually pressing down and releasing. If a

malfunction is detected, remove the sunroof unit assembly and

visually inspect. If damage is found, replace either wind deflec-

tor (1) or sunroof unit assembly as required.

:Front 

LINK AND WIRE ASSEMBLY

NOTE:

Before replacing a suspect part, make sure it is the source of noise being experienced.
1. Check link to determine if coating film has peeled off excessively enough that substrate is visible. Check

also to determine if link is the source of noise. Replace as necessary.

2. Visually check to determine if a sufficient amount of grease has been applied to wire or rail groove. If not,

add grease as required.

3. Check wire for any damage or deterioration. If any damage is found, replace sunroof unit assembly.

WEATHERSTRIP

1. Visually check weatherstrip for damage, deterioration, or deformation. 

• Open glass lid assembly partially to inspect front edge of weatherstrip.

• Tilt up glass lid assembly fully to inspect sides and rear edge of weatherstrip.

If any area of the weatherstrip is found to be damaged, replace the glass lid assembly. Refer to 

RF-72,

"Removal and Installation"

.

2. Check for leakage around glass lid assembly.

• Close glass lid assembly.

• Pour water around surface to determine area of concern. 

- For gaps or misalignment, adjust glass lid assembly to specifications. Refer to ADJUSTMENT in this

section.

- For damaged sealing surfaces, either replace glass lid assembly 

RF-72, "Removal and Installation"

, or

repair the panel.
