Precautions

NMGI0001

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.

SGI646

PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS) “AIR BAG”

NMGI0001S01

The Supplemental Restraint System, such as “AIR BAG” 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
S15 is as follows:
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag mod-
ule (located in the center of the steering wheel), front passenger air
bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side),
a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral
cable.
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 performed by an authorized
NISSAN 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 RS 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 with yellow har-
ness connector.

PRECAUTIONS FOR NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM)

NMGI0001S02

NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without
the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS
registered.
The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indi-
cator blinks when the ignition switch is in “OFF” or “ACC” position.
Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with
the anti-theft system.

When NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights
up while ignition switch is in “ON” position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.

When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs),
CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software is
necessary.

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions

GI-3

Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation
manual, NATS.

Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.

When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it
may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner. A
maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.

When failing to start the engine first time using the key of
NATS, start as follows.

Leave the ignition key in “ON” position for approximately 5
seconds.

Turn ignition key to “OFF” or “LOCK” position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.

Repeat step 1 and 2 again.

Restart the engine while keeping the key separate from any
others on key-chain.

SGI285

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

NMGI0001S03

Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time
without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrig-
erant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area,
be sure to properly ventilate the area before working with haz-
ardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

SGI231

Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before work-
ing on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle, be careful not to lose your balance and drop them.
Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially the
brake tubes and master cylinder.

SEF289H

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
