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:
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.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnection
INFOID:0000000007093772
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.
WARNING:
After cleaning clutch disc, wipe it with a dust collector. Never use compressed air. C
CAUTION:
• Clutch fluid use refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained clutch fluid. CL
• Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately
and wash the affected area with water.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic sys-
tem. E
• Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Because CSC slides back to the original position
every time when removing transaxle assembly. At this timing, dust on the sliding parts may damage
a seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage. Refer to CL-16, "Removal and Installation". F
• Never disassemble clutch master cylinder and CSC.

FLUID LEAKAGE B
• Check clutch line for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
• Check for fluid leakage by fully depressing clutch pedal while engine is running.
CAUTION: C
If leakage occurs around joints, reinstall the joints or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
FLUID LEVEL
• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified CL
range (MAX – MIN lines).
• Visually check for any clutch fluid leakage around the reservoir
tank.
E
• Check the clutch system for any leakage if the fluid level is
extremely low (lower than MIN).
