FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT AND ROOF/DOOR-MOUNTED
CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMEN-
TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
GUID-DF0A0CC7-16B6-455F-BB8D-7F450B825E8EThe side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails (Coupe) or
upper side of the door trim (Roadster) .All of
the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual apply and must be followed.
The side air bags and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions, 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 on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain air bag operation.
When side air bags and curtain air bags 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain 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 bags and curtain air bags may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and
curtain 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 side air bag, and seated
as far away as practical from the door finishers
and side roof rails. The side air bags and curtainair bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the out-of-position occupants. Because of this,
the force of the side air bags and curtain air
bags 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 bags
and curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short period of time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch 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
finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a side
air bag inflates.

becomes involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner seat belt activates, smoke
is released and a loud noise may be heard. The
smoke is not harmful, and it 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.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See ªSupplemental air bag warning
lightº (P.1-41) for more details.) If the operation
of the supplemental air bag warning light
indicates there is a malfunction, have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the seat belt preten-
sioners and guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner's Manual.

If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bag and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing:
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains 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 air bag and/or
pretensioner systems may not operate properly.
They must be checked and repaired. Take your
vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
GUID-C7BC35D5-D3D0-48A1-908C-5838D89C73C1The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. Repair and replacement of these sys-
tems should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags, pretensioners and related parts should
be pointed out to the person conducting the
maintenance. The ignition switch should always
be in the LOCK position when working under
the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioner system should
be replaced by a NISSAN dealer.
The air bag module and preten-
sioner system cannot be repaired. .
The front air bag, side air bag and
curtain air bag systems and the
pretensioner system should be in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer if there
is any damage to the front end or
side portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of the
supplemental air bag or preten-
sioner systems or scrap the vehicle,
contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct
supplemental air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system disposal pro-
cedures are set forth in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
