Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Precautions

PRECAUTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER : Precautions

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 “SRS AIR BAG� and “SEAT BELT� of this Service Manual.

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.

  • To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, it is recommended that all maintenance and repair be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

  • Improper repair, 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 “SRS AIR BAGâ€�.

  • Never 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:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.

  • When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
