supplemental knee air bag are automati-
cally turned OFF with the seat occupied.
The light will not illuminate when the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illu-
minated (indicating that the front passen-
ger air bag and front passenger supple-
mental knee air bag are OFF), it could be
that the person is a small adult, or is not
sitting on the seat properly or not using the
seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status
light may or may not be illuminated, de-
pending on the size of the child and the
type of child restraint being used. Always
make sure that the child restraint is in-
stalled properly, the seat belt is used prop-
erly

and

the

occupant

positioned

properly.

If necessary, a NISSAN dealer can check
system operation by using a special tool.
Until you have confirmed with a dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposition
the occupant or child restraint in a rear
seat.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
front passenger air bag status light will
take a few seconds to register a change in
the front passenger seat status. For ex-
ample, if a large adult who is sitting in the
front passenger seat exits the vehicle, the
front passenger air bag status light will go
from OFF to ON for a few seconds and then
to OFF. This is normal system operation
and does not indicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passen-
ger air bag system, the supplemental air
bag warning light

, located in the me-

ter and gauges area of the instrument
panel, will blink. Have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Normal operation

In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front passen-
ger based on weight, please follow the pre-
cautions and steps outlined below:

Precautions

• Make sure that there are no objects

weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback pocket.

• Make sure that a child restraint or other

object is not pressing against the rear of
the seatback.

• Make sure that a rear passenger is not

pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger seat.

• Make sure that the front passenger seat

or seatback is not forced back against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.

• Make sure that there is no object placed

under the front passenger seat.

Steps

1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”

section of this manual. Sit upright, lean-
ing against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.

2. Make sure there are no objects on your

lap.

3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the

“Seat belts” section of this manual.

4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds

allowing the system to classify the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.

5. Ensure proper classification by checking

the front passenger air bag status light.

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-65

NOTE:

This vehicle’s occupant classification
sensor system locks the classification
during driving so it is important that you
confirm that the front passenger is prop-
erly classified prior to driving. Also, the
occupant classification sensor system
may recalculate the weight of the occu-
pant when the vehicle comes to a stop
(i.e. stop light, stop sign, etc.), so front
passenger seat occupants should con-
tinue to remain seated as outlined
above.

Troubleshooting

If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:

1. If the light is ON with no front passenger

and no objects on the front passenger
seat:

This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
• An object weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg)

hanging on the seat or placed in the seat-
back pocket.

• A child restraint or other object pressing

against the rear of the seatback.

• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on

the back of the front passenger seat.

• Forcing the front seat or seatback

against an object on the seat or floor be-
hind it.

• An object placed under the front passen-

ger seat.

• An object placed between the seat cush-

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

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.

If the light is still ON after this, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

2. If the light is ON with an adult occupying

the front passenger seat:

• Occupant is a small adult — the air bag

light is functioning as intended. The
front passenger air bag is suppressed.

However, if the occupant is not a small
adult, then this may be due to the following
conditions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
• Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning

against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.

• A child restraint or other object pressing

against the rear of the seatback.

• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on

the back of the front passenger seat.

• Forcing the front seat or seatback

against an object on the seat or floor be-
hind it.

• An object placed under the front passen-

ger seat.

• An object placed between the seat cush-

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

If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:

A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.

If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions

WARNING

•

Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.

•

Immediately after inflation, several
front air bag system components will
be hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.

•

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the supplemental air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental inflation
of the supplemental air bag or dam-
age to the supplemental air bag
system.

•

Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle's electrical system,
suspension system or front end
structure. This could affect proper
operation of the front air bag system.

•

Tampering with the front air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury. Tampering includes changes
to the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering wheel pad
and above the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim material
around the air bag system.

•

Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the func-
tion of the air bag system and result
in serious personal injury.

•

Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result in
serious personal injury. For example,
do not change the front seats by
placing material on the seat cushion
or by installing additional trim mate-
rial, such as seat covers, on the seat
that are not specifically designed to
assure proper air bag operation. Ad-
ditionally, do not stow any objects
under the front passenger seat or the
seat cushion and seatback. Such ob-
jects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classifica-
tion sensor (weight sensor).

•

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the seat belt system. This may af-
fect the front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the seat belt system may
result in serious personal injury.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS (without
NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System)
(if so equipped)

This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:
• Driver and front passenger supplemental

front-impact air bag

• Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag

• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag

• Driver and front passenger supplemental

knee air bags

• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seats

and rear outboard seats)

Supplemental

front-impact

air

bag

system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head and chest of the driver
and right front passenger in certain frontal
collisions.

Front

seat-mounted

side-impact

supplemental air bag system

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and
right front passenger in certain side impact

collisions. The side air bag is designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.

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 front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side impact or rollover collisions. In a side
impact, the curtain air bags are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. In a rollover, curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for
a short time.

Driver and front passenger supplemen-
tal knee air bags

This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.

The SRS is designed to

supplement

the

crash protection provided by the seat belts
and is

not a substitute

for them. Seat belts

should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional informa-
tion, see “Seat belts” (P. 1-16).

1-68

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is 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 sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

WRS0031

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

1-69

•

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. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways 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 in-
flates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel or instru-
ment 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 air bag system moni-
tors the severity of a collision and 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.

•

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.

•

The air bag system monitors the se-
verity of a collision and then inflates
the air bags as needed. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.

1-76

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

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
supplemental 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 inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag
system operation.

The supplemental air bag system moni-
tors information from the crash zone sen-
sor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) and seat
belt buckle sensors that detect if the seat
belts are fastened. Inflator operation is
based on the severity of a collision and
whether the seat belts are being used. Only
one front air bag may inflate in a crash,
depending on the crash severity and
whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. This does not indicate improper
performance of the system. If you have any
questions about the performance of your
air bag system, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer to obtain information
about the system.

If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer to obtain information
about the system. 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 begin-
ning 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 driver and right
front passenger. They can help save lives
and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating front air bag may cause facial
abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags,
other than the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s supplemental knee air bags, do not
provide restraint to the lower body.

Seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and 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 in the ON position.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED
SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG AND ROOF-MOUNTED
CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT AND
ROLLOVER SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG SYSTEMS

The side air bags are located in the outside
of the seatback of the front seats. The cur-
tain air bags are located in the side roof
rails.

All of the information, cautions and

warnings in this manual must be fol-
lowed.

The side air bags and curtain air

bags are designed to inflate in higher se-
verity side collisions, although they may in-

flate if the forces in another type of collision
are similar to those of a higher severity
impact. They are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.

Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate
in certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments (for example, during severe off-
roading) may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always
an indication of proper side air bag and
curtain air bag operation.

When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke is
not harmful and does not indicate a fire.
Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those
with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.

Side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest of the front occupants. Curtain
air bags help to cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in the front and rear
outboard seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. How-

ever, an inflating side air bag or curtain air
bag may cause abrasions or other injuries.
Side air bags and curtain air bags do not
provide restraint to the lower body.

The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver and front passenger seated
upright as far as practical away from the
side air bag. Rear seat passengers should
be seated as far away as practical from the
door finishers and side roof rails. The side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly
in order to help protect the occupants. Be-
cause of this, the force of the side air bag
and curtain air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to, or is against, these air bag modules dur-
ing inflation. The side air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over.

The curtain air bags will remain inflated for
a short time.

The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.

WARNING

•

Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if a side air bag
inflates.

•

Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain air bag system com-
ponents will be hot. Do not touch
them;

you

may

severely

burn

yourself.

•

No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the side air bag and curtain air bag
systems. This is to prevent damage
to or accidental inflation of the side
air bag and curtain air bag systems.

•

Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle's electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation of
the curtain air bag systems.

•

Tampering with the side air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material
near the seatbacks or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, around the side air bag.

•

It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the side air bag and curtain
air bag. It is also recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for installa-
tion of electrical equipment. The SRS
wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used
on the side air bag or curtain air bag
systems.

*The SRS wiring harness or connectors
are

identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems and guide the
buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner's Manual.

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER
SUPPLEMENTAL KNEE AIR BAG

The knee air bag is located in the knee
bolster, on the driver’s and passenger’s
side.

All of the information, cautions and

warnings in this manual apply and must
be followed.

The knee air bag is designed

to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in an-
other type of collision are similar to those of
a higher severity frontal impact. It may not
inflate in certain collisions.
