PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007579986
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
system 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 necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that 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 “SRS AIR BAG”.
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, never 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 3 minutes before performing any service.

LEVEL
• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” when the engine is cool.
A : MAX
B : MIN
• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.
CAUTION:
Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or
equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or deminer-
alized). Refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".

LEAKAGE
• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and the radiator
cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).
age.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Draining INFOID:0000000007579992
WARNING:
• Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator.
• Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pres-
sure. Then turn it all the way.
1. Connect drain hose.
• Use a genera-purpose hose with the dimensions show in the
figure.
A : φ 8 mm (0.31 in)
B : 300 mm (11.81 in)

CAUTION: CO
Perform this step when engine is cold.
• When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water
drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to EM-68, "Setting". C

3. Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
Refer to CO-14, "Exploded View".
4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, E
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, "Flushing".
5. Disconnect drain hose.
Refilling INFOID:0000000007579993 F
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse O-rings. G
• Do not put additive such as waterleak preventive, since it may cause cooling waterway clogging.
• When refilling use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".
H
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and install radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
I
Radiator drain plug : Refer to CO-14, "Exploded View".
