Nissan Rogue Service Manual: Precaution

Precaution 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 the SR 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 SR 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.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

•  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 three minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Work

• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
•  When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
•  Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
•  Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
•  If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
•  Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
•  After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
•  Follow the steps below to clean components:

•  Water soluble dirt:

•  Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
•  Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.

•  Oily dirt:

•  Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
•  Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
•  Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.

•  Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
•  For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

Precautions For Harness Repair

ITS communication uses a twisted pair line. Be careful when repairing it.

• Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area.

  NOTE: A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).

• Bypass connection is never allowed at the repaired area.

  NOTE: Bypass connection may cause ITS communication error. The spliced wire becomes separated and the characteristics of twisted line are lost.

Precautions for Driver Assistance Systems

CAUTION:

•  Do not use or disassemble the distance sensor removed from the vehicle.
•  Erase DTC when replacing parts of FCW system, then check the operation of FCW system after alignment, if necessary.

WARNING: Be cautious of traffic conditions and other vehicles when performing a road test.

CAUTION:

•  Do not use the DAS system when driving with free rollers or on a chassis dynamometer.
•  Do not disassemble or alter the rear view camera.
•  Do not disable the DAS system without the consent of the customer.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DAS SYSTEM OPERATING PROPERLY:

Rear view Camera Maintenance

The rear view camera for the DAS system is located in the back door. To keep the DAS system operating properly and prevent a malfunction, be sure to observe the following:

•  Always keep the camera lens area clean.
•  Do not attach bumper stickers (including transparent materials) or install an accessory near the rear viewcamera.
•  Do not strike or damage the areas around the rear view camera.
•  Do not touch the camera lens (except for cleaning) or remove the rear view camera.
