PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000003941939

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 and SB section of
this Service Manual.
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.
Precaution for Seat Belt Service INFOID:0000000003492115

CAUTION:
• Before removing the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly (if equipped), turn the ignition switch OFF, dis-
connect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
• After replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly (if equipped), or reconnecting seat
belt pre-tensioner assembly connector, ensure entire SRS operates properly. Refer to SRS-13, "SRS
Operation Check".
• Do not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
• Do not reuse seat belt anchor bolts after removal. Replace with new ones.
• Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
• Never oil tongue and buckle.
• If any component (including anchor bolts) of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair.
Replace the whole seat belt assembly.
• If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
• When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine NISSAN seat belt assembly.
After A Collision INFOID:0000000003492116

WARNING:
• Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors, buckles and attaching hardware after any colli-
sion.
• NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt assemblies
which are equipped with pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use dur-
ing a frontal collision in which the air bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
• The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except after minor collisions when the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
• The seat belt was damaged in an accident (i.e., torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
• The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
• The seat belt assembly is equipped with a pre-tensioner, even if the seat belt is not in use during a collision
in which the air bags are deployed.

AFTER A COLLISION B
WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the col- C
lision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a colli-
sion should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt assemblies
D
which are equipped with pre-tensioners should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during
a frontal collision in which the air bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if: E
• The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except after minor collisions when the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly.)
• The seat belt was damaged in an accident (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.).
• The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage F
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
• Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
• The seat belt assembly is equipped with a pre-tensioner, even if the seat belt is not in use during a collision G
in which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows: SB
a. Switch ignition ON. With driver seat belt unfastened, the seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also,
the seat belt warning chime should sound for about seven seconds.
b. Fasten driver seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should stop. I
2. If the “AIR BAG” warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-III and “AIR BAG”
warning lamp. Refer to SRS-13, "SRS Operation Check".
J
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels
freely and that belt lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely. K
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
L
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that belt returns smoothly and completely into the retractor.
If the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the
loops with a clean paper cloth etc. Dirt built up in the loops of the
upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly. M
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check so that the seat belt returns
smoothly and completely into the retractor. If the seat belt does
not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulalation of dust N
or dirt. Use the "SEAT BELT TAPE SET" and clean as neces-
sary.
6. For non-retractable seat belts, check that the seat belts are O
accessible. Check seat belt webbing for twists, tears or other
damage. Fasten the seat belt. Pull firmly on belt and buckle to ARS340

ensure belt remains latched. Unfasten seat belts. Ensure belt

releases freely and buckle button returns to original position. P
7. Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat belts.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are of the Emergency Locking (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop) the retractor
will lock and prevent the belt from extending any further.
Revision: March 2008 SB-9 2009 D22 LCV
 COLLISION DIAGNOSIS
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
Check the seat belt retractors using the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.
ELR Function Stationary Check
Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from extending
further.
ELR Function Moving Check (all outboard seating positions)
WARNING:
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. DO NOT perform the following test on
wet roads, gravel roads, public streets or highways. This could result in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the retractor
does not lock.
1. Fasten driver seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 mph). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop
and the driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the retractor does not
lock. Apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
4. During stop, seat belts should lock and not extend. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock, per-
form the seat belt retractor off-vehicle check. Refer to "SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE
CHECK".
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR OFF-VEHICLE CHECK
1. Remove the seat belt retractor assembly. Refer to .SB-3, "Removal and Installation" for front seat belts, or
SB-7, "Removal and Installation" for rear seat belts.
2. Slowly pull out belt while tilting the retractor assembly forward from the mounted position as shown in the
illustration.
