Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"
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 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM and SEAT BELTS article.
| 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 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM . Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this article. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors. |

| Component parts of tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) | Replace grommet seal, valve core and cap of the transmitter in TPMS every tire replacement when reaching wear limit of tire. | " TRANSMITTER (PRESSURE SENSOR) " |
| Wheel alignment and balance | If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be needed. | " WHEEL ALIGNMENT (UNLADEN*) " and " BALANCING WHEELS " |
| Windshield wiper blades | Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. | |
| Doors and engine hood | Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released. When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently. | " LUBRICATING LOCKS, HINGES AND HOOD LATCH " |
| Lamps | Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. | |
GENERAL MAINTENANCE OUTSIDE VEHICLE REFERENCE CHART
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
| Item |
|---|
| Warning lamps and buzzers/chimes | Make sure that all warning lamps and buzzers/chimes are operating properly. |
| Windshield wiper and washer | Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not streak. |
| Windshield defroster | Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient quantity when operating the heater or air conditioning. |

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSIDE VEHICLE REFERENCE CHART
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
| Item |
|---|
| Windshield washer fluid | Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank. |
| ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL | Check the coolant level when the engine is cold. |
| A/C condenser, radiator and hoses | Check the front of the condenser and radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, deformation, deterioration or loose connections. |
| BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID LEVELS | Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines on the reservoirs. |
| Battery | Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent checks of the battery fluid level. |
| ENGINE DRIVE BELTS | Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. |
| ENGINE OIL LEVEL | Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the engine. |
| AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL | Check the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in "P" with the engine idling. |
| EXHAUST SYSTEM | Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble and correct it. |
| Underbody | The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumulate. |
| Fluid leaks | Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause and correct it immediately. |
