WARNING

Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.

The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury inan accident. Serious injury or death
can occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.

Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.
Position the lap belt as low and snug
as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT
THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal
injuries in an accident.

Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.

Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.

Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.

Never carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts. This
vehicle has only two seating posi-
tions. Never allow anyone to ride in
the luggage area.

If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ONwith all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.

by the driver and passenger seat belts and is
not a substitutefor them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occupant
seated a suitable distance away from the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, door finishers and
side roof rails. (See “Seat belts” earlier in this
section for instructions and precautions on seat
belt usage.)
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.
WARNING

The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.

The seat belts and the supplemental
front air bags are most effectivewhen you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. Supplemental
front air bags inflate with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the supplemental front air
bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical

the face and chest of the front occupants. They
can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating front air bag may cause
facial abrasions or other injuries. Supplemental
front air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. The supplemental front air bags
inflate 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 air
bag module during inflation. The air bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.
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 andthe steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the supplemental front air bag
inflates.

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 sys-
tem.

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

Tampering with the supplemental
front air bag system may result in
serious personal injury. Tamperingincludes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing ad-
ditional trim material around the air
bag system.

Work around and on the supplemen-
tal front air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
The yellow and orange Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring and
connectors should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the air
bag system.

A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect the function of the
supplemental air bag system.
