PRECAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

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

PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000011131980

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 dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front passenger seat is occupied.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Manual.

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 harness 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 Ignition 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.

		used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
		stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the	—
		exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
		flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
		can easily accumulate.
	Fluid leaks	Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
		has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is	—
		normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
		the cause and correct it immediately.

NOTE:

•(1) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged.

•(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.

•(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

•(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.

•(5) Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze / Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

•(6) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in), even if within specified periodic replacement mileage.

•(7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.

*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions”.

(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2)Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.

(3)Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio every 48,000 km (30,000 miles) or 24 months. First replacement interval is 168,000 km (105,000 miles) or 96 months. After first replacement, replace every 84,000 km (52,500 miles) or 48 months.
