The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
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: D
• 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. E
• 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.
F
• 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- H
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 I
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-
essary.
WARNING:
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pres-
sure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a
quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap.
CAUTION:
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-
vide antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather
where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-
trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain
minimum antifreeze protection to -34°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other
than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.
• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),
including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine
coolant escaping the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and turn it a quar- N
ter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down and turning
it all the way.
1. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then O
remove radiator cap.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow engine coolant to contact the drive belt.
• Perform this step when the engine is cold.
JPBIA0892ZZ

5. Check the drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If the engine coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-24, "ENGINE COOL-
ANT : Flushing".
ENGINE COOLANT : Refilling INFOID:0000000010365362
CAUTION:
• 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-11, "Fluids and Lubricants".
1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank and cylin-
der block drain plug, if removed for a total system drain or for
engine removal or repair.
• The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and
water.
• Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain
plug.
• Use recommended coolant or equivalent.
Refer to MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants".

7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open
the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
J
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches
of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude K
above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds N
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling O
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into MA
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
