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

• 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 CAN communication error. The spliced wire becomes separated and the characteristics of twisted line are lost.

• Replace the applicable harness as an assembly if error is detected on the shield lines of CAN communication line.

Precautions for Chassis control

• Do not disassemble the chassis control module.
•  Do not reuse if the chassis control module has been dropped.
•  Do not perform ACTIVE TEST while driving the vehicle.
•  Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when Active Trace Control and Active Ride Control function operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by the functions that are normally operated.
•  Tachometer will rise and engine noise may be noticeable during Active Engine Brake function operation.

  This is not a malfunction because it is caused by the function that is normally operated.

•  Active Trace Control, Active Ride Control and Active Engine Brake are not always activated in any driving conditions.
