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.
General Precaution INFOID:0000000011934765
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following:
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
• Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
• Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
• Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-27, "Fuel".
• Before removing fuel line parts, perform the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-168, "Work Procedure".
- Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
• Always replace O-ringS and clamps with new ones.
• Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
• Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
• After installing tubes, check that there are no fuel leaks at connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check
for fuel leaks at connections.
- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
• Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the
“MIL” may come on.
The actual shape of the tools may differ from those illustrated here.

WARNING:
Read “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-2, "General Precaution".
CAUTION:
If fuel tank is dropped while removing or installing, do not use.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
REMOVAL
1. Check the fuel level with the vehicle on a level surface. If the fuel
gauge indicates more than the level as shown (1/2 full), drain
the fuel from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates a level at
or below as shown (1/2 full).
• In case the fuel pump does not operate, use the following pro-
cedure.
a. Insert fuel tubing of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) diameter into the
fuel filler tube through the fuel filler opening to drain fuel from the
fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler tube.
