PRECAUTIONS

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 AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” 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 “SRS AIRBAG”.
  
• Never 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.
  

• Genuine NISSAN aluminum wheel is designed for each type of vehicle. Use it on the specified vehicle only.
• Use Genuine NISSAN parts for the wheel nuts and wheel lock nuts.
• Always use them after adjusting the wheel balance. For the balance weights, use Genuine NISSAN aluminum wheel weights.
• To prevent the balance weight of tire wheel from being flaked, make sure to apply aluminum tape over the balance weight, when driving at a high speed, over 200 km/h (124 MPH), and/or prior to circuit driving.
• Use caution when handling the aluminum wheels, because they can be easily scratched. When removing dirt, do not use any abrasives, a wire brush, or other items that may scratch the coating. Use a neutral detergent if a detergent is needed.
• Never wash wheels in a high-speed car washing machine.
• After driving on roads scattered with anti-icing salts, wash off the wheels completely.
• Rewash the back of wheels when removing wheels for replacement of tires or when cleaning the underbody of the vehicle.
• Be careful of the oil that contacts bolt and nut threads, or the nut seat.
• Never run over sharp objects, and never run over or rub against sidewalks or curbstones while driving.
• Fill nitrogen gas into the tires.
• Never use power tools when working with the lock nuts.
• When tightening the wheel nuts, tighten when the wheel is cold and tighten to the specified torque.
• When installing road wheels onto the vehicle, always wipe off any dirt or foreign substances to prevent them from being trapped between the contact surfaces of the brake rotor and wheel.
• Only if a snapping sound is heard from the road wheel when driving while the road wheel is cold, clean the surfaces where the road wheel and brake rotor contact each other and tighten them (when cold) to a wheel nut tightening torque of 147.1 N·m (15 kg-m, 109 ft-lb).
• When assembling the tire and wheel assembly, if the red mark on the tire sidewall is identifiable, tighten the wheel nuts so that the red mark faces up.
• If tire wear is uneven, explain the circumstances to the customer and obtain the customers approval, then adjust the wheel alignment.
• When installing or removing the road wheels to from the vehicle, be careful of scratches due to contact between the road wheels and the hub bolts, brake calipers, brake rotors, brake tubes, brake hoses, or other parts.
• When changing the tires, please recommend the users to change all 4 tires as a set, and always perform ID registration.
• Set the nitrogen gas pressure (for both summer tires and all season tires) as follows:Front tire: 200 kPa (2.0 kg/cm², 29 psi)Rear tire: 200 kPa (2.0 kg/cm², 29 psi)
• Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1min, then turns ON when occurring any malfunction except low tire pressure. Delete the memory with CONSULT-III, or register the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF.
• ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheels, replacing transmitter or low tire pressure warning control unit.
• Replace grommet seal, valve core and cap of transmitter in TPMS, when replacing each tire by reaching the wear limit.
