THE NISSAN ADVAN\fED AIR BAG SYSTEM
All 201\b NI\f\fAN vehicles (except for the 201\b NV 1500/2500/3500 , and 201\b Titan XD
Crew Cab *) are equipped with the NI\f\fAN A dvanced A ir Bag \f ystem (AAB\f) for the
driver and front passenger seats. Typically, t his system incorporates dual -stage inflators**,
and monitors information from various crash sensors , the front seat belt buckle sensors,
and the occupant classification sensor.

The front passenger air bag may be automatically turn ed OFF under some conditions,
d epending on the weight detected by sensors in the passenger seat. \fee the vehicle
owner’s manual for more information. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the front
passenger air bag status light will be illuminated.* **

The front passenger air bag status light does not indicate a malfunction of the front passenger air
bag. If the front passenger air bag status light is illuminated while an adult occupies the seat, the
occupant may need to shift his or her seating posi tion so the system can turn ON the front
passenger air bag and turn OFF the status light. \fee your owner’s manual for proper seating
positions.

Remember, all air bags are supplemental restraint systems. You must properly use seat belts and
child restraints, as explained in the vehicle owner’s manual and your child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions
.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF AN AIR BAG\b YOUR SEAT BELT

 If the supplemental air bag warning light in the instrument panel continues to remain ON
or flashes after you start the vehicle, see your Nissan dealer as soon as possible.
 After inflation, air bag components are hot, so avoid contact.
 Do not place objects on or near the steering wheel or instrument panel where the air
bags inflate.
 Never install a rear -facing child restraint in the front passenger seat of a vehicle.
 Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on
the seat that will leave permanent impressions in the seat. \fuch objects can damage
the seat or the occupant classification sensor. This can affect the opera tion of the air
bag system and result in serious personal injury.
 Do not use water or acidic cleaners (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.
 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 material, such as seat covers, on the seat that are
not specifically designed to assure proper air bag operation. Additionally, do not stow
any objects under the front passenger seat, or on the seat cushion, or store luggage
behind the seat that may contact the seatb ack, or hang heavy objects from the
seatback, or the seatback pocket. \fuch objects may interfere with the proper operation
of the occupant classification sensor.
 \fee the vehicle owner’s manual for other important information on safety, seats, seat
belts, and the supplemental restraint system.

OTHER SPE\fIFI\fS ABOUT SIDE-IMPA\fT, \fURTAIN SIDE-IMPA\fT,
AND \fURTAIN SIDE-IMPA\fT/ROLLOVER AIR BAG SYSTEMS
 Do not allow anyone sitting in the front seat to extend his or her hand out the window or
lean against the door.
 When sitting in the rear, do not hold onto the seatback s of the front seats , hang
anything from the head restraint or push or pull on the seatback pocket as this may
interfere with the proper operation of the air bag systems. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be properly seated and restrained in the rear seat .
 Do not allow anyone to p lace their hand, leg or face near the side-impact air bag
modules on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or near the curtain side-impact
air bag modules in the roof rails or in the front door panels
.
 Curtain side -impact/rollover air bags are designed to infla te not only in rollovers, but
al so in near rollover situations. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for example,
during severe off-road driving) may cause these air bags to i nflate.
 \fee the vehicle owner's manual for other important informa tion about side-impact,
curtain side -impact, and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag systems ( if the vehicle is
equipped with these systems) .



CHILD SAFETY

WHENEVER A \fHILD IS IN YOUR VEHI\fLE
The risk of serious or fatal injury to children i n automobile collisions can be reduced with a
properly installed child restraint. Before you install a child restraint in your vehicle, please
consult the vehicle owner’s manual and the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for
proper installation.

Child restraints for infants must be used in a
rear-facing direction and therefore must never
be used in the front seat. An inflating front
passenger air bag could seriously injure or kill your
child. According to statistics, children are safer
when properly restrai ned in the rear seat than in the
front seat. NI\f\fAN and the federal government
recommend that children 12 and under should ride
in the rear seat, properly secured in child restraints,
booster seats, or seat belts, according to their size.
