SRS AIRBAG DEPL OYMENT CONDITIONS
GUID-B0 3AB201-D2 AB-4DAE-8FAB-EB80C966404 2
The SRS airbags activate inthe event ofafront orside
impact inwhich thevehicle occupants maybeseverely
injured evenifthey arewearing theseat belts properly .
They maynotactivate whenthecrash energy is
absorbed and/ordistributed bythe vehicle body.
V ehicle damage (orlack ofit) isnot always an
indication ofproper SRSairbag system operation.

When theSRS airbag isunlikely todeploy
GUID-A 244E3F1-47E E-4847-A4AE-551410672172
The SRS airbags maynotdeploy incases where the
impact isnot forceful enough toinflate theSRS air
bags.
For example, ifthe vehicle strikesanobject, suchasa
parked vehicle orsign pole, which canmove ordeform
on impact, theSRS airbags areunlikely todeploy .

WARNING:
. The pre-tensioner seatbeltcannot bere-
used afteractivation. Itmust bereplaced
together withtheretractor andbuckle asa
unit.
. Ifthe vehicle becomes involvedinacollision
but thepre-tensioner isnot activated, be
sure tohave thepre-tensioner system
checked and,ifnecessary, replacedbya
NISSAN dealer.
. Nounauthorized changesshouldbemade
to any components orwiring ofthe pre-
tensioner seatbeltsystem. Thisisto prevent
accidental activationofthe pre-tensioner
seat beltordamage tothe pre-tensioner seat
beltsystem.
. Work around oron the pre-tensioner seat
belt system shouldbedone byaNISSAN
dealer. TheSRS wiring should notbe
modified ordisconnected. Unauthorized
electrical testequipment andprobing de-
vices should notbeused onthe pre-
tensioner seatbeltsystem.
. Ifyou need todispose ofthe pre-tensioner
seat beltsystem, orscrap thevehicle,
contact aNISSAN dealer.Correct pre-ten-
sioner disposal procedures aresetforth in
the appropriate NISSANServiceManual.
Incorrect disposalprocedures couldcause
personal injury.
The pre-tensioner systemmayactivate withthe
supplemental airbag system incertain typesof
collisions. Working withtheseat beltretractor, ithelps
tighten theseat beltwhen thevehicle becomes
involved incertain typesofcollisions, helpingto
restrain frontseatoccupants.
The pre-tensioner isencased withthefront seatbelt's
retractor andanchor. Theseseatbelts areused the
same asconventional seatbelts.
When thepre-tensioner seatbeltactivates, afairly loud
noise maybeheard, followed bythe release ofsmoke.
This smoke isnot harmful anddoes notindicate afire.
Care should betaken nottoinhale it,as itmay cause
irritation andchoking. Thosewithahistory ofa

the SRS should bedone onlybyaNISSAN dealer.
When maintenance workisrequired onthe vehicle,
information abouttheairbags, pre-tensioner seatbelts
and related partsshould bepointed outtothe person
