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
T32A1308 27-B8254390-3B61-40F C-91DE-1AC76EF9C A11
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-861 34849-D1CC -4A18-B616-BEDE533187A6
This system canhelp cushion theimpact forcetothe
chest areaofthe driver andfront passenger incertain
side-impact collisions.Thesupplemental side-impact
air bag isdesigned toinflate onthe side where the
vehicle isimpacted.
Supplemental curtainside-impact airbag
system (ifequipped)
GUID-948208 2F-6DCB-432F-9FD0-9 A1EB3E05C4 C
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.1-9) .)
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.1-31) .)

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
injuries fromthesupplemental front-impact
air bag ifyou areupagainst itwhen it
inflates. Alwayssitback against theseat-
back andasfar away aspractical fromthe
steering wheelorinstrument panel.Always
use theseat

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
inflates.
. 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-
tems.
. Work around andonthe supplemental air
bag systems shouldbedone byaNISSAN
dealer. TheSRS wiring should notbe
modified ordisconnected. Unauthorized

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
should getfresh airpromptly .

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
