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
the rear-facing directionandtherefore must
not beused onthe front passenger's seatwhen
thefront passenger's airbag isavail-
able.

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) .)

pre-tensioner seatbeltsystems andallrelated wiring.
When theignition switchisin the ªONº position, the
SRS airbag warning lightilluminates forabout 7
seconds andthen turns off.This indicates thattheSRS
air bag systems areoperational.
If any ofthe following conditions occur,theairbag
and/or pre-tensioner seatbeltsystems needservicing:
. The SRS airbag warning lightremains onafter
approximately 7seconds. .
The SRS airbag warning lightflashes intermit-
