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
should getfresh airpromptly .
Supplemental front-impactairbag system
T32A130 827-AE60A990 -BBBA-4498-ADE8-040A6243FCC 1
The driver's supplemental front-impactairbag is
located atthe center ofthe steering wheel.The
passenger's supplemental front-impactairbag is
located atthe instrument panelabove theglove box.
The supplemental front-impactairbag system is
designed toinflate inhigher severity frontalcollisions,
although itmay inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity frontal
impact. Itmay notinflate incertain frontalcollisions.
V ehicle damage (orlack ofit) isnot always an
indication ofproper supplemental front-impactair
bag system operation. Front

The supplemental side-impactairbag islocated atthe
outside ofthe front seats' seatbacks.
The supplemental side-impactairbag system isdesigned
toinflate inhigher severity sidecollisions,
although itmay inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity side
impact. Itmay notinflate incertain sidecollisions.

The supplemental curtainside-impact airbag is
located atthe roof rails.
The supplemental curtainside-impact airbag system is
designed toinflate inhigher severity sidecollisions,
although itmay inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity side

SRS AIRBAG DEPL OYMENT CONDITIONS
T32A1308 27-183F844 1-8C2D-4047 -8629-31F765F616F3
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.

When theSRS airbag isunlikely todeploy
T32A130827- BB732676-9259-4144-A4 F5-2F746D9DD70A
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 .

. 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.

WARNING:
. Once theairbags havebeen inflated, theair
bag modules willnotfunction andmust be
replaced. Theairbag modules mustbe
replaced byaNISSAN dealer.Theinflated
air bag modules cannotberepaired.

the vehicle, contactaNISSAN dealer.Cor-
rect disposal procedures aresetforth inthe
appropriate NISSANServiceManual. Incor-
rect disposal procedures couldcause perso-
nal injury.
The airbags andpre-tensioner seatbelts aredesigned
to activate onaone-time-only basis.Asareminder,
unless theSRS airbag warning lightisdamaged, the
SRS airbag warning lightremains illuminated after
inflation hasoccurred. Therepair andreplacement of
the SRS should bedone onlybyaNISSAN dealer.
When maintenance workisrequired onthe vehicle,
information abouttheairbags, pre-tensioner seatbelts
and related partsshould bepointed outtothe person
performing themaintenance. Theignition switch
should always beinthe ªLOCKº position whenworking
