Precaution for Brake System
GUID-6D99197D-34FC-43FD-8D71-2FA0CC3C02A6
Warning:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake using a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow by compressed air.
Brake fluid use refer to Fluids and Lubricants.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash
with water if it gets on a painted surface.
Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the master cylinder, brake caliper and other components.
Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause improper operation.
Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a flare nut crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
GUID-NISJPFIA0001ZZ
Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the parts.
Check for bends, cracks and damage to the brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low
mileage. Refer to Periodic Maintenance Operation.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover
GUID-3F27EF35-629C-45DD-9833-F1E106B7C392
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc. to prevent damage
to windshield.
GUID-NISPIIB3706J
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER"
GUID-5C93CE78-E9BF-485D-828D-36CFA1D08366
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 collisions.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” sections 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, it is recommended that all maintenance and repair be performed by an
authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper repair, 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 Service 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/power switch
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/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V
battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
