FOR USA AND CANADA

FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR
BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000004676717

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 “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” 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 “SRS AIRBAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice 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

When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors while ignition switch is
ON or engine is running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer.
Heavy vibration may activate the sensor(s), deploy the airbag(s), possibly cause serious injury.
When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery,
and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

PRECAUTIONS

When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect the battery,
and wait 3 minutes or more before performing any service.

Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation after Battery Disconnect

INFOID:0000000004676719

NOTE:
• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, then disconnect both battery cables.

• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both

battery cables.

• Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.

If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.

This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure
below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

Perform the necessary repair operation.

When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000004676720

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Precautions For Xenon Headlamp Service

INFOID:0000000004676721

WARNING:

Comply with the following warnings to prevent any serious accident.
• Disconnect the battery cable (negative terminal) or the power supply fuse before installing, remov-

ing, or touching the xenon headlamp (bulb included). The xenon headlamp contains 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 connector.
(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.

PIIB3706J

Revision: 2008 October

PRECAUTIONS

VTL-9

< PRECAUTION >

[WITHOUT 7 INCH DISPLAY]

VTL

• Install the xenon bulb securely. (Insufficient bulb socket installation may melt the bulb, the connec-

tor, 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.).

Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)

INFOID:0000000003072878

CAUTION:

• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-

function is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-

nents. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.

• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-

lowing handling precautions must be observed:

- Immediately cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmo-

sphere when removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.

- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-

erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.

- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubricant.

Lubricant becomes saturated with moisture and should not be used without proper sealing.

- Never allow lubricant (NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S) to come in to contact with styrene foam parts.

Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

Take the appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified
in a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into

the atmosphere.

• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-

ply.

• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may

have occurred.

• If repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never reintroduce

contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant product retailer
for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant must be dis-
posed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all refrigerant sys-
tem components on the vehicle is recommended.

• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-

tomer Affairs for further assistance.

General Refrigerant Precaution

INFOID:0000000003072879

WARNING:

• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose or throat.

Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recov-
ery equipment]. Ventilate the work area before resuming service if accidental system discharge
occurs. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the

refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52

C (126

F).

• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame. Place the bottom of the container in a warm

pail of water if container warming is required.

• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.

PRECAUTIONS

• Keep refrigerant away from open flames. Poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-

cation.

• Never pressure test or leakage test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-

tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have proven to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.

Refrigerant Connection

INFOID:0000000003072880

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following locations.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to liquid tank

O-RING AND REFRIGERANT CONNECTION

CAUTION:

The new and former refrigerant connections use different O-ring configurations. Never confuse O-
rings since they are not interchangeable. Refrigerant may leak at the connection if an incorrect O-ring
is installed.

WARNING:

Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than the atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove
it.

CAUTION:

Observe the following items when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way as it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure

to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.

• Always use a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.

Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before they are required for
connection.

• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal

caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to the circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when a connecting tube. Never apply

lubricant to threaded portion.

• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is

installed to the tube correctly.
