Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER”
NHMA0034
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 sys-
tem 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 that is necessary to service the system safely is included in the RS section of this Service Manual.
WARNING:
ITo 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.
IImproper 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.
IDo 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.

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge, including the spare, at least once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if
necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. —
Wheel nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary. —
Windshield Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). MA-23
Wheel alignment and
balance If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or
if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed.
MA-21,
SU-7, “Preliminary
Inspection”
SU-19, “Preliminary

Windshield wiper
blades Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the
trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubri-
cate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check
lubrication frequently.
MA-25
Lamps Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check
headlamp aim. —
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc.
Item Reference page
Warning lamps and
chimes Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly. —
Windshield wiper and
washer Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do
not streak. —
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in suffi-
cient quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the
steering condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in) —
Seats Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
position. Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
latches lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks.
—
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

Accelerator pedal Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not
catch or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Brakes Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper dis-
tance under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be
sure to keep floor mats away from the pedal.

with the selector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes. —
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Item Reference page
Windshield washer
fluid Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant level Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-14
Radiator and hoses Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc.,
that may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks,
deformation, deterioration or loose connections. —
Brake fluid level Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on
the reservoir. MA-23
Battery Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions
require frequent checks of the battery fluid level. —
Engine drive belts Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-13
Engine oil level Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and
turning off the engine. MA-16
Power steering fluid
level and lines Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for
improper attachment, leaks, cracks, etc. MA-24
Automatic transaxle
fluid level Check the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling. MA-20
Exhaust system Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately
locate the trouble and correct it. MA-20
Underbody The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these
substances, 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.
