WARNING:
The repair information in this section is intended for trained body repair technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience (e.g. ASE Collision Repair Certification, I-CAR Professional Development Program [PDP] training, etc.) in repairing collision damaged Nissan Murano vehicles using appropriate tools and equipment. Performing repairs without the proper training, tools or equipment could damage the Nissan Murano vehicle or cause personal injury or death to you or others.
The information in this Body Repair Manual is a guideline for repairing collision damaged Nissan Murano vehicles. However, this information cannot cover all possible ways that a vehicle can be damaged. As such, the body repair technician is responsible for making sure that the repair does not affect the structural integrity or safety of the Nissan Murano vehicle. Improper repair of a damaged vehicle may result in a collision, property damage, personal injury or death.
Nissan recommends using only new genuine Nissan replacement body parts. Use of used, salvaged or aftermarket body parts is not recommended by Nissan. Non-genuine Nissan components may affect the Nissan Murano vehicle's structural integrity and crash safety performance, which could result in serious personal injury or death in an accident.
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 collisions.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” sections 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 BAG”.
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 working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the ignition/power switch ON or engine running, never 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/power switch OFF, disconnect the 12V battery or batteries, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
