occupant under some conditions (both

while driving and when stopped), so the

front passenger seat occupant should

continue to remain seated as outlined

above.
Troubleshooting:

If you think the front passenger air bag

status light is incorrect:

If the light is ON with an adult occupying

the front passenger seat:

Occupant is a small adult — the front

passenger air bag status light is func-

tioning as intended. The front passen-

ger air bag and front passenger knee

air bag are suppressed.

However, if the occupant is not a small

adult, then this may be due to the

following conditions that may be interfer-

ing with the weight sensors:

Occupant is not sitting upright, lean-

ing against the seatback, and cen-

tered on the seat cushion with his/her

feet comfortably extended to the

floor.

A child restraint or other object press-

ing 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

behind it.

An object placed under the front

passenger seat.

An object placed between the seat

cushion and center console or be-

tween 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.

Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:
A system check will be performed dur-

ing 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 it is recommended

that the vehicle should be checked by a

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

If the light is OFF with a small adult, child

or child restraint occupying the front

passenger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-

tions that may be interfering with the

weight sensors:

Small adult or child is not sitting

upright, leaning against the seatback,

and centered on the seat cushion with

his/her feet comfortably extended to

the floor.

The child restraint is not properly

installed, as outlined. (See “Child re-

straints” (P.1-21).)

An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)

hanging on the seat or placed in the

seatback pocket.

A child restraint or other object press-

ing 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

behind it.

An object placed under the front

passenger seat.

An object placed between the seat

cushion and center console.

The front passenger seat head re-

straint contacting the roof.

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.

Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.

Other supplemental front-impact

air bag precautions

WARNING

Do not place any objects on the

steering wheel pad or on the

instrument panel. Also, do not

place any objects between any

occupant and the steering wheel

or instrument panel. Such objects

may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if the front

air bags inflate.

Do not place objects with sharp

edges on the seat. Also, do not

place heavy objects on the seat

that will leave permanent impres-

sions in the seat. Such objects

can damage the seat or occupant

classification sensors (weight

sensors). This can affect the op-

eration of the air bag system and

result in serious personal injury.

Do not use water or acidic clea-

ners (hot steam cleaners) on the

seat. This can damage the seat or

occupant classification sensors.

This can also affect the operation

of the air bag system and result in

serious personal injury.

Immediately after inflation, sev-

eral front air bag system compo-

nents 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 supple-

mental air bag or damage to the

supplemental air bag system.

Do not make unauthorized

changes to your vehicle’s electri-

cal system, suspension system or

front end structure. This could

affect proper operation of the

front air bag system.

Tampering with the front air bag

system may result in serious per-

sonal injury. Tampering includes

changes to the steering wheel

and the instrument panel assem-

bly by placing material 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

function 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 ad-

ditional trim material, such as

seat covers, on the seat that is

not specifically designed to as-

sure proper air bag operation.

Additionally, do not stow any

objects under the front passen-

ger seat or the seat cushion and

seatback. Such objects may inter-

fere with the proper operation of

the occupant classification sen-

sors.

No unauthorized changes should

be made to any components or

wiring of the seat belt system.

This may affect the front air bag

system. Tampering with the seat

belt system may result in serious

personal injury.

It is recommended you visit a

NISSAN dealer for work on and

around the front air bag. It is also

recommended you visit a NISSAN

dealer for installation of electrical

equipment. The Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS) wiring

harnesses* should not be modi-

fied or disconnected. Unauthor-

ized electrical test equipment

and probing devices should not

be used on the air bag system.

A cracked windshield should be

replaced immediately by a quali-

fied repair facility. A cracked

windshield could affect the func-

tion of the supplemental air bag

system.

Driver’s side

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

sides.

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 another type of collision

are similar to those of a higher severity

frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain

collisions.

WAB0048X

Passenger’s side

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not

always an indication of proper knee air

bag operation.
When the knee air bag inflates, 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.
The knee air bag helps to cushion the

impact force on the knees of the driver

and passenger. It can help reduce serious

injuries. However, an inflating knee air bag

may cause abrasions or other injuries.

1-57

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1-58

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

The knee air bag provides restraint to the

lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order

to help protect the occupants. Because of

this, the force of the knee air bag inflating

can increase the risk of injury if the

occupant is too close to, or is against,

this air bag module during inflation. The

knee air bag will deflate quickly after the

collision is over OR the knee air bag will

remain inflated for a short time.

The knee air bag operates 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

Do not place any objects between

the knee bolster and the driver’s

or passenger’s seat. Such objects

may become dangerous projec-

tiles and cause injury if a knee air

bag inflates.

Right after inflation, the knee 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 knee air bag system.

This is to preventdamageto or

accidental inflation of the knee

air bag system.

Do not make unauthorized

changes to your vehicle’s electri-

cal system or suspension system.

This could affect proper opera-

tion of the knee air bag system.

Tampering with the knee air bag

system may result in serious per-

sonal injury. For example, do not

change the driver or passenger

knee bolster or install additional

trim material around the knee air

bag.

It is recommended that you visit a

NISSAN dealer for work on and

around the knee air bag. It is also

recommended that you visit a

NISSAN dealer for installation of

electrical equipment. The SRS

wiring harnesses* should not be

modified or disconnected. Un-

authorized electrical test equip-

ment and probing devices should

not be used on the knee air bag

system.

FRONT AND REAR OUTBOARD

SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT SUP-

PLEMENTAL 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 and

rear seats. The curtain air bags are

located in the side roof rails.

All of the

information, cautions and warnings in

this manual apply and must be fol-

lowed.

The side air bags and curtain air

bags are designed to inflate in higher

severity side collisions, although they may

inflate if the forces in another type of

collision are similar to those of a higher

severity side 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 colli-

sions or near rollovers. As a result, certain

vehicle movements (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 breath-

ing 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 and pelvic area of the front and

rear outboard 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.

However, 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, front passenger and rear

outboard occupants seated upright as far

as practical away from the side air bags.

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.

Because of this, the force of the side air

bags and curtain air bags inflating can

increase the risk of injury if the occupant

is too close to, or is against, these air bag

modules during inflation. The side air bag

will deflate quickly after the collision is

over. The curtain air bag 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.
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 systems

are operational.

WARNING

Do not place any objects near the

seatback of the front and rear

seats. Also, do not place any

objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)

between the front and rear door

finishers and the front and rear

seats. 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 sys-

tem 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 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 electri-

cal system, suspension system or

side panel. This could affect prop-

er operation of the side air bag

and curtain air bag systems.

Tampering with the side air bag

system may result in serious per-

sonal injury. For example, do not

change the front and rear seats

by placing material near the seat-

backs or by installing additional

trim material, such as seat covers,

around the side air bag.

Removing or modifying the front

and rear passenger seat may

affect the function of the air bag

system and result in serious per-

sonal injury.

It is recommended you visit a

NISSAN dealer for work on and

around the side air bag and

curtain air bag. It is also recom-

mended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for installation of electrical equip-

ment. The Supplemental Re-

straint System (SRS) wiring

harnesses* should not be modi-

fied 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 connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identifica-

tion.

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 sec-

tions in this Owner’s Manual.

SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS

(front and rear outboard seats)

WARNING

The pretensioners cannot be re-

used after activation. They must

be replaced together with the

retractor and buckle as a unit.

If the vehicle becomes involved in

a collision but a pretensioner is

not activated, be sure to have the

pretensioner system checked

and, if necessary, repaired. It is

recommended you visit a NISSAN

dealer for this service.

No unauthorized changes should

be made to any components or

wiring of the pretensioner sys-

tem. This is to prevent damage to

or accidental activation of the

pretensioners. Tampering with

the pretensioner system may re-

sult in serious personal injury.

It is recommended you visit a

NISSAN dealer for work on and

around the pretensioner system.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is also recommended you visit a

NISSAN dealer for installation of

electrical equipment. Unauthor-

ized electrical test equipment

and probing devices should not

be used on the pretensioner sys-

tem.

If you need to dispose of a pre-

tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is

recommended you visit a NISSAN

dealer for this service. Correct

pretensioner disposal procedures

are set forth in the appropriate

NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect

disposal procedures could cause

personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate

with the supplemental air bag system in

certain types of collisions. Working with

the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the

seat belt when the vehicle becomes

involved in certain types of collisions,

helping to restrain front and rear out-

board seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat

belt retractor. These seat belts are used

the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is

released and a loud noise may be heard.

The 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 breath-

ing condition should get fresh air

promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters

allow the seat belt to release webbing (if

necessary) to reduce forces against the

chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light

is used to indicate malfunctions in

the pretensioner system. See “Supple-

mental air bag warning light” (P.1-62). If

the operation of the supplemental air bag

warning light indicates there is a mal-

function, have the system checked. It is

recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that

you inform the buyer about the preten-

sioner system and guide the buyer to the

appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-

ual.
