PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and
"SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000004783745
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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag
modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only
deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted.
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 harness
connectors.
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors
with the Ignition
ON or engine running, DO NOT 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.

INSPECTION
When parking brake lever is operated with a force of 196 N (20 kg-f,
44 lb-f), make sure parking brake lever stroke is within the specified
COMPONENTS INSPECTION
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash, etc.) of each component are
normal.
Check the following:
- Device assembly for bends, damage and cracks. Replace if any damage is noted.
- Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if any damage is noted.
- Parking brake switch. Replace if it does not work correctly.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Engage parking brake lever to access adjusting nut hole below
grip.
2. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting
nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake lever.
3. Depress the foot brake about 10 times and adjust the rear shoe clearance.
CAUTION:
Be sure to securely depress the foot brake.
4. Rotate brake drum or disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag.
5. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. When replace parking brake cable, operate parking brake lever with a force of 490 N (50 kgf, 110 lb-f)
about 10 times.
b. Engage parking brake lever to access adjusting nut hole below grip.
c. Rotate adjusting nut to adjust parking brake lever stroke using a deep socket wrench.
d. Operate parking brake lever with a force of 196 N (20 kg-f, 44 lb-f), make sure the parking
brake lever
stroke is within the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet
clicks.)
e. Make sure that there is no drag on rear brake or parking brake shoe with parking brake lever
completely
released.

CAUTION:
Do not carry out the break-in procedure excessively. Doing so may cause uneven or
premature wear
of the brake shoe lining.
When new parking brake shoes or brake rotors are installed or when parking brake
performance is poor, perform
the following break-in procedure.
1. Drive the unloaded vehicle on a safe, level and dry road.
2. Pull the parking brake control lever with a force of 147 N (15 kg-f, 33 lb-f).
3. While pulling the lever, continue to drive the vehicle forward 100 meters (328 ft) at
approximately 35 km/h
(22 MPH).
4. Allow the parking brake to cool down for approximately five minutes.
5. Release the parking brake control lever and drive the vehicle under normal conditions for
two minutes to
cool down the parking brake.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 three times and repeat just step 5 once more.
7. After performing the break-in procedure, check the stroke of the parking brake control lever.
If it is out of
specification, adjust again. Refer to PB-4, "On-Vehicle Service".
