Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING

Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed us-
ing the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

BOOSTER SEATS

For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.

Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a sudden stop or col-
lision greatly increases:

– Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s
face and neck and the lap portion
of the belt does not cross the
stomach.

– Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the
child’s arm.

– A booster seat must only be in-

stalled in a seating position that
has a lap/shoulder belt.

Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points
in mind:

∙ Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.

∙ Check the booster seat in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the vehi-
cle’s seat and seat belt system.

∙ Make sure the child’s head will be prop-

erly supported by the booster seat or
vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be
at or above the center of the child’s ears.
If the seatback is lower than the center
of the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat should be used.

∙ If the booster seat is compatible with

your vehicle, place the child in the
booster seat and check the various ad-
justments to be sure the booster seat is
compatible with the child. Always follow
all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated.

The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats
or the front passenger seat.

Booster seat installation

WARNING

To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when us-
ing a booster seat with the seat belts.

For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in the “Child safety”,
“Child restraints” and “Booster seats” sec-
tions of this manual before installing a child

supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side-impact col-
lisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted.

WRS0475

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)

1-44

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in the out-
board seating positions in certain side-
impact or rollover collisions. In a side im-
pact, the curtain air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted. In a rollover, curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for
a short time.

These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front pas-
senger seat belts and are not a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and door finishers.
For additional information, refer to “Seat
belts” in this section.

The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.

After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.

WARNING

∙ The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower severity
frontal collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents

∙ The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit or if the front passenger seat
is unoccupied. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.

∙ The seat belts and the front air bags

are most effective when you are sit-
ting well back and upright in the seat.
The front air bags inflate with great
force. Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in
a crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the front air bag
if you are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback

and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always properly use the seat belts.

∙ The driver and front passenger seat

belt buckles are equipped with sen-
sors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage, then in-
flates the air bags as needed. Failure
to properly wear seat belts can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury in
an accident.

∙ The front passenger seat is equipped

with an occupant classification sen-
sor (weight sensor) that turns the
front passenger air bag OFF under
some conditions. This sensor is only
used in this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section.

∙ Keep hands on the outside of the

steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase
the risk that they are injured when the
front air bag inflates.

WARNING

To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem,

please

observe

the

following

items.

∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rear

seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.

∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than

9.1 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.

∙ Make sure that there is nothing press-

ing against the rear of the seatback,
such as a child restraint installed in
the rear seat or an object stored on
the floor.

∙ Make sure that there is no object

placed under the front passenger
seat.

∙ Make sure that there is no object

placed between the seat cushion and
center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.

∙ If a forward-facing child restraint is

installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts the
instrument panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument panel,
the system may determine the seat is
occupied and the passenger air bag
may deploy in a collision. Also the
front passenger air bag status light
may not illuminate. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.

∙ Confirm the operating condition with

the front passenger air bag status
light.

∙ If you notice that the front passenger

air bag status light is not operating as
described later in this section, get the
occupant

classification

system

checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

∙ Until you have confirmed with a

dealer that your front passenger seat
occupant

classification

system

working properly, position the occu-
pants in the rear seating positions.

∙ Do not position the front passenger

seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the
front seat does contact the rear seat,
the air bag system may determine a
sensor malfunction has occurred and
the front passenger air bag status
light may illuminate and the supple-
mental air bag warning light may
flash.

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada. However, all of the information,
cautions and warnings in this manual
still apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag is mounted in the
dashboard above the glove box. The front
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle

damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper front air bag system op-
eration.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensors and occupant classifi-
cation sensor (weight sensor). Inflator op-
eration is based on the severity of a colli-
sion and seat belt usage for the driver. For
the front passenger, the occupant classifi-
cation sensors are also monitored. Based
on information from the sensors, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash, depend-
ing on the crash severity and whether the
front occupants are belted or unbelted. Ad-
ditionally, the front passenger air bag may
be automatically turned OFF under some
conditions, depending on the weight de-
tected on the front passenger seat and
how the seat belt is used. If the front pas-
senger air bag is OFF, the front passenger
air bag status light will be illuminated (if the
seat is unoccupied, the light will not be illu-
minated, but the air bag will be off). For
additional information, refer to “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” in this sec-
tion. One front air bag inflating does not
indicate improper performance of the sys-
tem.

If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, you may also contact NISSAN. Con-
tact information is contained in the front of
this Owner’s Manual.

When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the re-
lease of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken to not inhale it, as it may cause irrita-
tion and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the face and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, an inflating front air
bag may cause facial abrasions or other
injuries. Front air bags do not provide re-
straint to the lower body.

Even with NISSAN air bags, seat belts
should be correctly worn and the driver
and front passenger seated upright as far
as practical away from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. The front air bags in-
flate quickly in order to help protect the
front occupants. Because of this, the force
of the front air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to, or is against, the front air bag module
during inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.

The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion.

1-54

Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Front passenger air bag and status light

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully
to learn how it operates. Proper use of
the seat, seat belt and child restraints is
necessary for most effective protec-
tion. Failure to follow all instructions in
this manual concerning the use of
seats, seat belts and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of injury in
an accident.

Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with
an occupant classification sensor (weight
sensor) that turns the front passenger air
bag on or off depending on the weight ap-
plied to the front passenger seat. The sta-
tus of the front passenger air bag (ON or
OFF) is indicated by the front passenger air
bag status light

which is located on

the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
"ON" position, the front passenger air bag
status light on the instrument panel illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off or remains illuminated depending on
the front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:

∙ Unoccupied front passenger’s seat:

The

light is OFF and the front pas-

senger air bag is OFF and will not inflate
in a crash.

∙ Front passenger seat occupied by a

small adult, child or child restraint as
outlined in this section: The

light

illuminates to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is OFF and will not
inflate in a crash.

∙ Occupied front passenger seat and the

passenger meets the conditions as
outlined in this section: The

light is

OFF to indicate that the front passen-
ger air bag is operational.

In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may
also cause the light to operate as de-
scribed above depending on their weight.

For additional information, refer to “Normal
operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this
section.

Front passenger air bag

The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below in accordance with U.S. regu-
lations. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,
it will not inflate in a crash. The driver air bag
and other air bags in your vehicle are not
part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requir-
ing the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF. Certain sensors are used to meet the
requirements.
