PRECAUTIONS

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

INFOID:0000000010288783

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 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 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.

PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

High Strength Steel (HSS)

INFOID:0000000009758066

High strength steel is used for body panels in order to reduce vehicle weight.

Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:

SP130 is the most commonly used HSS.

Read the following precautions when repairing HSS:
1. Additional points to consider

• The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-

ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.

When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above

550

°C (1,022°F).

Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.

(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appropri-

ate.)

• When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any

HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause

deformation in adjacent portions of the body. In this case,

increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull

the HSS panel.

• When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possible.

Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas due

to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a minimum

margin of 50 mm (1.97in).

PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

BRM-5

< PRECAUTION >

BRM

• When welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possi-

ble in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due to

heat.

If spot welding is impossible, use M.I.G. welding. Do not use

gas (torch) welding because it is inferior in welding strength.

• The spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordi-

nary steel panel.

Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a low

speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase drill bit

durability and facilitate the operation.

2. Precautions in spot welding HSS

This work should be performed under standard working condi-

tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:

• The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according to

the metal thickness.

• The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no

gaps.
