Precaution For Seat Belt Service
CAUTION:
- Before removing the seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at least three minutes. For approximately three minutes after the battery terminals have been removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not attempt work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least three minutes have passed.
- After replacing or reinstalling seat belt pre-tensioner assembly, or reconnecting seat belt pre-tensioner assembly connector, make sure entire SRS operates properly. Refer to SRS Operation Check .
- Do not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
- Replace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
- Do not oil tongue and buckle.
- If any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat belt assembly.
- If webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
- When replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine INFINITI seat belt assembly.
AFTER A COLLISION
Warning:
WARNING:
- Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
- INFINITI 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-tensioner 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, etc.)
- 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 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.
