PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000009751385
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 “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:
• 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.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnection
INFOID:0000000009751386
CAUTION:
Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position,
then disconnect both battery cables.
• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect
both battery cables.
• Always use CONSULT to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
CO-4
PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering wheel will lock A
when the ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
ENGINE COOLANT
Inspection INFOID:0000000009751393
LEVEL
• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” when the engine is cool.
: MAX
: 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-11, "Fluids and Lubricants". JPBIA0102ZZ
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).
Testing pressure: Refer to CO-30, "Radiator".

WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns
may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from
engine cooling system.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator dam- PBIC5121J
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:0000000009751394
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. Remove engine under cover.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.
: Vehicle front
CAUTION:
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-228, "Exploded
View".
JSBIA2960ZZ
3. Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
Refer to CO-18, "Exploded View".

4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated,
flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-14, "Flushing". A
Refilling INFOID:0000000009751395
CAUTION: CO
• Do not reuse O-rings.
• Before start working, turn off the automatic air conditioner and the blower motor.
• Do not put additive such as waterleak preventive, since it may cause cooling waterway clogging. C
• 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 reservoir tank if removed and radiator drain plug.
D
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
Radiator drain plug : Refer to CO-18, "Exploded View". E

• If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-228, "Exploded
View".
2. Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened. F
3. Remove air duct (between air cleaner case and electric throttle control actuator). Refer to EM-155,
"Exploded View".

5. Fill radiator to specified level.

CAUTION: K
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments
(alternator etc.).
• Pour coolant slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 L
Imp qt) a minute to allow air in system to escape.

8. Install radiator cap.
9. Warm up engine until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at
3,000 rpm.
• Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
10. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
• Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
• If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
CAUTION:
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments (alternator etc.).
12. Repeat steps 5 through 10 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no
longer drops.
13. Check cooling system for leakage with engine running.
14. Warm up the engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to
3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
• Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
15. Repeat step 14 three times.
16. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 5 through 10 until reservoir tank level no
longer drops.
