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 Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to windshield.

Parts Requiring Angle Tightening

• Use the Tool for the final tightening of the following engine parts: Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

•  Camshaft sprocket (INT) bolt
•  Cylinder head bolts
•  Main bearing cap bolts
•  Connecting rod cap bolts
•  Crankshaft pulley bolt (The angle wrench is not required as bolt flange is provided with notches for angle tightening)

•  Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
•  Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Precautions For Engine Service

DISCONNECTING FUEL PIPING

•  Before starting work, check no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
•  Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.
•  After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leaks.

DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT

Drain engine coolant and engine oil when the engine is cooled.

INSPECTION, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and replace if necessary.

REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY

•  When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
•  Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
•  Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel pins, check that dowel pins are installed in the original position.
•  Cover openings of engine system with a tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
•  Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and reassembly.
•  When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used in the step.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

•  Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
•  When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified, do exactly as specified.
•  Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
•  Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
•  Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.

  Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.

•  Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
•  After repairing, start the engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and exhaust gases for leaks.
