PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000009760249

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 SR and SB section of

this Instruction.

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 Instruction. 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.

Service Notice or Precautions for Rear Final Drive

INFOID:0000000009177807

• Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required, be

certain they never interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.

• Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of

the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them

with a new one if necessary.

• Seals should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.

• In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tight-

ening sequence is specified, observe it.

• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,

and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.

• Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.

• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-

purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.
