WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.
The seat belt should be properly ad-
justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury inan accident. Serious injury or death
can occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck.
The belt should be away from your
face and neck, but not falling off your
shoulder.Position the lap belt as low and snug
as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT
THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal
injuries in an accident.
Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
Never carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts. This
vehicle has only two seating posi-
tions. Never allow anyone to ride in
the luggage area.
If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ONwith all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.

7. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the seat belt path
and use force to push the child restraint from
side to side, and tug it forward to make sure
that it is securely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 in (25 mm). If it does move
more than 1 in (25 mm), pull again on the
shoulder belt to further tighten the child
restraint. If you are unable to properly secure
the restraint, try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
8. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more belt webbing out of the retractor, theretractor is in the automatic locking mode.
9. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the seat
belt is not locked, repeat steps 2 through 7.
10. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
The front passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light is not
illuminated, see “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section. Try a differ-
ent child restraint. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the automatic locking
mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

3. The booster seat should be positioned on the
vehicle seat so that it is stable. If necessary,
adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. See “Head re-
straint adjustment” earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to install the head
restraint when the booster seat is removed. If
the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try a different
booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low
and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-structions for adjusting the belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be
sure the shoulder belt is positioned across
the top, middle portion of the child’s shoul-
der. Be sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the belt
routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions for properly fastening a seat belt shown
in the “Three-point type seat belt with retrac-
tor” earlier in this section.
7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light
may or may not illuminate
depending on the size of the child and the
type of booster seat used. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” later in this
section.
PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEMThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger supplemental front
impact air bags (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System), supplemental side-impact air bags,
curtain side-impact air bags and pre-tensioner
seat belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
NISSAN advanced air bag system can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest
of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Supplemental side-impact air bag system
(if so equipped):This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest area of the driver
and front passenger in certain side impact colli-
sions. The front seat side-impact supplemental
air bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag
system (if so equipped for Coupe models):
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in certain side impact
collisions. The curtain side-impact air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle
is impacted.

The supplemental restraint system is designed
tosupplementthe crash protection provided
by the driver and passenger seat belts and is
not a substitutefor them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occupant
seated a suitable distance away from the steer-
ing wheel, instrument panel, door finishers and
side roof rails. (See “Seat belts” earlier in this
section for instructions and precautions on seat
belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ONor
START position.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.
WARNING
The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag statuslight is lit or if the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” later
in this section.
The seat belts and the supplemental
front air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet on
the floor. The front air bags inflate
with great force. Even with the
NISSAN advanced air bag system, if
you are unrestrained, leaning for-

9. Seat belt pre-tensioner retractorNISSAN advanced air bag systemThis vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN ad-
vanced air bag system for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S. regu-
lations. It is also permitted in Canada.However,
all of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.
The driver supplemental front air bag is located
in the center of the steering wheel. The front
passenger supplemental front air bag is
mounted in the instrument panel. The supple-
mental front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity
frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain
frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is
not always an indication of proper supplemental
air bag system operation.
The NISSAN advanced air bag system has dual
stage air bag inflators. It also monitors informa-
tion from the crash zone sensor, the diagnosis
sensor unit, seat belt buckle sensors and theoccupant classification sensor (pattern sensor).
Inflator operation is based on the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage for the driver. For
the front passenger, the occupant classification
sensor is also monitored. Based on information
from the sensors, only one front air bag may
inflate in a crash, depending on the crash sever-
ity and whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger air
bag may be automatically turned OFF under
some conditions, depending on the information
provided by the occupant classification sensor. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, the passen-
ger air bag status light will be illuminated (if the
seat is unoccupied, the light will not be illumi-
nated, but the air bag will be off.). See “Front
passenger air bag and status light” later in this
section for further details. One front air bag
inflating does not indicate improper performance
of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, contact NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. If
you are considering modifications of your vehicle
due to a disability, you may also contact NIS-
SAN. Contact information is contained in the
front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicatea fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should get fresh
air promptly.
Supplemental front air bags, along with the use
of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the head and chest of the front occupants. They
can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating front air bag may cause
facial abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags
do not provide restraint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat belts
should be correctly worn and the driver and
passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The supplemental front air bags inflate
quickly in order to help protect the front occu-
pants. Because of this, the force of the front air
bag inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, the air bag
module during inflation.
The air bag will deflate quickly after a collision.
The supplemental front air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

occupants.However, all of the information,
cautions and warnings in this manual still
apply and must be followed.The supplemen-
tal side air bags and curtain side-impact air bags
are designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions on the side that the vehicle is im-
pacted, although they may inflate if the forces in
another type of collision are similar to those of a
higher severity side impact. They are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
They may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag inflate, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate
a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should get fresh
air promptly.
Supplemental side air bags, along with the use
of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest of the front occupants. Curtain side-
impact air bags help to cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants. They can help save
lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating side air bag and curtain side-impact air
bag may cause abrasions or other injuries.Supplemental side air bags and curtain side-
impact air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the supplemental side air
bag, and seated as far away as practical from the
door finishers and side roof rails. The side air
bags and curtain side-impact air bag inflate
quickly in order to help protect the front occu-
pants. Because of this, the force of the side air
bag and curtain side-impact air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against these air bag modules
during inflation. The side air bag and curtain
side-impact air bag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
The supplemental side air bags and curtain
side-impact air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ONor START po-
sition.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
systems are operational.
WARNING
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the side air bag
inflates.
Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain side-impact air bag
system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the side air bag and curtain side-
impact air bag system. This is to pre-
vent accidental inflation of the side
air bag and curtain side-impact air
bag or damage to the side air bag
and curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem.

belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when
the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of
collisions, helping to restrain front seat occu-
pants.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used the same as
conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be
heard. The smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale
it as it may cause irritation and choking. Those
with a history of a breathing condition should get
fresh air promptly.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light
will not come on, will flash inter-
mittently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain
on after the ignition key has been turned to the
ON or START position. In this case, the pre-
tensioner seat belt may not function properly.
They must be checked and repaired. Take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat
belt system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING LIGHTThe supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
supplemental side air bag (if so equipped) and
curtain side-impact air bag (if so equipped for
Coupe models) systems, and pre-tensioner seat
belt. The circuits monitored by the air bag warn-
ing light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash
zone sensor, satellite sensors, front air bag
modules, side air bag modules, curtain side-
impact air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belt
and all related wiring.After turning the ignition key to the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental side air
bag and curtain side-impact air bag systems,
and pre-tensioner seat belt need servicing:
The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bags, supplemental side air bags, curtain
side-impact air bags and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt may not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to a
NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that thesupplemental front air bag, supplemen-
tal side air bag, curtain side-impact air
bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems will not operate in an acci-
dent. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
Repair and replacement procedureThe supplemental front air bags, supplemental
side air bags (if so equipped), curtain side-
impact air bags (if so equipped for Coupe
models) and pre-tensioner seat belt are de-
signed to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless it is damaged, the supplemen-
tal air bag warning light will remain illuminated
after inflation has occurred. Repair and replace-
ment of these systems should be done only by a
NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side air
bags, curtain side-impact air bags, related parts
and pre-tensioner seat belt should be pointed
out to the person conducting the maintenance.
The ignition key should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or inside
the vehicle.
