PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000001716758

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 and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
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 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.

ALUMINUM WHEEL
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation. C
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel
runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance machine. D
b. Set dial indicator as shown.

Wheel runout : Refer to WT-7, "Road Wheel". WT

2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel
runout. I
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount on a tire balance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0. J
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around
the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown. K

Radial runout = (A+B)/2

L
Lateral runout = (C+D)/2
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum nega-
tive value.
M
Add the two values to determine total runout. In case a positive
or negative value is not available, use the maximum value (neg-
ative or positive) for total runout. If the total runout value
exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel. N

Wheel runout : Refer to WT-7, "Road Wheel".

Balancing Wheels INFOID:0000000001716763

Adjust wheel balance using road wheel center.

CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
• Use clip-on type wheel balance weights only.

Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):

Dynamic (At rim flange) Less than 5 g (0.18 oz) (one side)
Maximum allowable unbalance
Static (At rim flange) Less than 10 g (0.35 oz)

Rotation INFOID:0000000001716764

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.

Refer to MA-53, "Rotation".
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.
