CAUTION:
• Before removing the front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait at least 3 minutes.

• Do not use electrical test equipment for front seat belt pre-tensioner connector.

• After replacing or reinstalling front seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting front seat belt pre-tensioner connector, check the system function. Refer to SRC-12, "Description".

• Do not use disassembled buckle or seat belt assembly.

• Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.

• Never oil tongue and buckle.

• If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the entire 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

WARNING:
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attached hardware after any collision.

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 collision should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt 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: • The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and 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).

• 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 front seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in which the air bags are deployed.
