WARNING:
. Never install arear-facing childrestraint on
the front passenger's seatwhen thefront
passenger's airbag isavailable. Supple-
mental front-impact airbags inflate with
great force. Arear-facing childrestraint
could bestruck bythe supplemental front-
impact airbags inan accident andcould
seriously injureorkill your child.
. Never install achild restraint withatop
tether straponthe front seat.
. NISSAN recommends thatachild restraint
be installed onthe rear seat. However, ifyou
must install achild restraint onthe front
passenger's seat,move thepassenger's seat
to the rearmost position.
. Child restraints forinfants mustbeused in

STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
GUID-172322 07-DAB5-4C4 9-986F-9CACB2FAA6F8
This Supplemental RestraintSystem(SRS)section
contains important information concerning thedriver's
and passenger's supplemental front-impactairbags,
supplemental side-impactairbags, supplemental
curtain side-impact airbags andpre-tensioner seat
belts.
Supplemental front-impactairbag system
GUID-5ED 4D143-8D8 A-4A77-BB38-6650BD18322C
This system canhelp cushion theimpact forcetothe
head andchest areaofthe driver and/or front
passenger incertain frontalcollisions. Thesupple-
mental front-impact airbag isdesigned toinflate onthe
front where thevehicle isimpacted.
Supplemental side-impactairbag system (if
equipped)
GUID-931BD BE2-9985-41F3-A607-F6 7C072B2A98
This system canhelp cushion theimpact forcetothe
chest andpelvis areasofthe driver andfront
passenger incertain side-impact collisions.The
supplemental side-impactairbag isdesigned toinflate
on the side where thevehicle isimpacted.
Supplemental curtainside-impact airbag
system (ifequipped)
GUID-A A4E0875-0C6 9-409F-AE9A-D2E13197 266A
This system canhelp cushion theimpact forcetothe
head ofthe driver andpassengers infront andrear
outboard seatingpositions incertain side-impact
collisions. Thesupplemental curtainside-impact air
bag isdesigned toinflate onthe side where thevehicle
is impacted.
The SRS isdesigned tosupplement theaccident
protection providedbythe driver's andpassenger's
seat belts andisnot designed tosubstitute forthem.
The SRS canhelp save livesandreduce serious
injuries. However, inflatingairbags maycause abra- sions
orother injuries. Airbags donot provide
protection tothe lower body.Seat belts should always
be correctly wornandtheoccupants shouldalways be
seated asuitable distance awayfromthesteering
wheel andinstrument panel.(SeeªSeat beltsº (P.1-7) .)
The airbags inflate quickly inorder tohelp protect the
occupants. Theforce ofthe airbags inflating can
increase therisk ofinjury ifthe occupants aretoo close
to, orare against, theairbag modules duringinflation.
The airbags willdeflate quickly afterdeployment.
The SRS operates onlywhen theignition switch
is in the ªONº position.
When theignition switchisin the ªONº position,
the SRS airbag warning lightilluminates for
about 7seconds andthen turns off.This
indicates thattheSRS airbag system isopera-
tional. (SeeªSRS airbag warning lightº(P.1-21) .)

WARNING:
. The supplemental front-impactairbags
ordinarily willnotinflate inthe event ofa
side impact, rearimpact, rollover, orlower
severity frontalcollision. Alwayswearthe
seat belts tohelp reduce therisk orseverity
of injury inaccidents.
. The seat belts andthesupplemental front-
impact airbags aremost effective whenyou
are sitting wellback andupright inthe seat.
The front-impact airbags inflate withgreat
force. Ifyou and your passengers areunrest- rained,
leaning forward, sittingsideways, or
out ofposition inany way, youand your
passengers areatgreater riskofinjury or
death inan accident. You and your passen-
gers mayalso receive serious orfatal

near thefront doorfinishers andthefront
seats. Donot place anyobjects between any
occupants andthesteering wheelpad,on
the instrument panel,andnear thefront
door finishers andthefront seats. Such
objects maybecome dangerous projectiles
and cause injuryifasupplemental airbag

. Immediately afterinflation, severalsupple-
mental airbag system components willbe
hot. Donot touch them: youmay severely
burn yourself.
. Nounauthorized changesshouldbemade
to any components orwiring ofthe supple-
mental airbag systems. Thisisto prevent
accidental inflationofthe supplemental air
bags ordamage tothe supplemental airbag
systems.
. Donot make unauthorized changestoyour
vehicle's electrical system,suspension sys-
tem, front endstructure, andside panels.
This could affect proper operation ofthe
supplemental airbag systems.
. Tampering withthesupplemental airbag
systems mayresult inserious personal
injury. Tampering includeschanges tothe
steering wheelandtheinstrument panelby
placing materials overthesteering wheel
pad and above, around oron the instrument
panel orby installing additional trimmateri-
als around thesupplemental airbag sys-

vices should notbeused onthe supple-
mental airbag systems.
. The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and/or orange foreasy identification.
When theairbags inflate, afairly loudnoise maybe
heard, followed bythe release ofsmoke. Thissmoke is
not harmful anddoes notindicate afire. Care should
be taken nottoinhale it,as itmay cause irritation and
choking. Thosewithahistory ofabreathing condition
