Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR
BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”

NLBR0081

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER” used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS system composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL V10 is as follows (The compo-
sition varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):

For a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.

For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the RS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.

SBR686C

Precautions for Brake System

NLBR0002

Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 4”.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake
caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.

Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They
will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.

Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake
tube.

Always torque brake lines when installing.

Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to “Brake Burnishing Procedure”, “ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, BR-7.

WARNING:

Clean brake pads with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust
collector.

PRECAUTIONS

BR-3

Precautions When Working On ABS

NLBR0149

Use recommended tyres in combination with ABS.

Please fit tyres or studded tyres, etc. with the same size.

If different sizes of tyres, or tyres other than the ones rec-
ommended for use with the ABS, are fitted, stopping dis-
tance will increase and control and stability could deterio-
rate.

When changing brake pads, please use Nissan genuine
parts.

When fitting radios etc, do not position the radio itself,
antenna, or antenna cables within an area of about 100
mm (3.94 in) of the control unit.

When doing any work that requires electro-welding, first
remove the control unit.

Please take care when taking a power supply for the
audio, lamps etc., not to take this from any ABS-related
harness. (Please refer to the electrical wiring diagrams for
ABS-related harnesses)

Wiring Diagrams and Trouble Diagnosis

NLBR0003

When you read wiring diagrams, refer to the following:

GI-11, “HOW TO READ WIRING DIAGRAMS”

EL-10, “POWER SUPPLY ROUTING”

When you perform trouble diagnosis, refer to the following:

GI-32, “HOW TO FOLLOW TEST GROUPS IN TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS”

GI-21, “HOW TO PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSES FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT”
