PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information
concerning the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bag
(Coupe models)
. Door-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag (Roadster mod-
els)
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem: The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag system: This system
can help cushion the impact force to the
chest and pelvis area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The front seat side-impact
supplemental air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
(for Coupe models):
This system can help
cushion the impact force to the head of
the driver and front passenger in certain
side-impact or rollover collisions. In a
side-impact, the curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover,
curtain air bags on both sides are de-
signed to inflate and remain inflated for a
short time.
Curtain air bags are also designed to
inflate in certain types of rollover colli-
sions or near rollovers. As a result, certain
vehicle movements may cause the cur-
tain air bags to inflate.
Door-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag system (for Road-
ster models): This system can help cush-
ion the impact force to the heads of the
driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The curtain air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and pas-
senger seat belts and are not a
substitute for them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel, instrument pa-
nel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-10) for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental 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 supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the systems
are operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

1-32Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far-away as practical
from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat
belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with an occupant clas-
sification sensor (pattern sensor)
that turns the front passenger air
bag OFF under some conditions.
This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-38).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could
increase the risk of injury if the supplemental front air bag in-
flates.

NISSAN ADVANCED AIR BAG SYS-
TEM (front seats)
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver
and front passenger seats. This system is
designed to meet certification require-
ments under U.S. regulations. It is also
permitted in Canada. All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the
steering wheel. The front passenger sup-
plemental front-impact air bag is
mounted in the instrument panel above
the glove box. The front air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity
frontal collisions, although they may in-
flate 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 front air bag opera-

tion.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has
dual stage air bag inflators. The system
monitors information from the crash
zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU), seat belt buckle switches and the
occupant classification sensor (pattern
sensor). Inflator operation is based on
the severity of a collision and seat belt
usage for the driver. For the front pas-
senger, 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 severity and whether the front
occupants are belted or unbelted. Addi-
tionally, 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 front passenger 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”
(P.1-38) 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, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer to obtain informationabout the system. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a
disability, you may also contact a NISSAN
dealer. 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 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.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the head and chest of the front occu-
pants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an in-
flating 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 front air
bags inflate quickly in order to help
protect the front occupants. 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 front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.
The supplemental front air bags oper-
ate 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 supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the system
is operational.

air bag precautions
WARNING
.Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the
instrument panel. Also, do not
place any objects between any
occupant and the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the front
air bag inflates.
. Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat
that will leave permanent impres-
sions in the seat. Such objects
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensor (pattern
sensor). This can affect the op-
eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensor.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury. .
Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents 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 air bag system. This
is to prevent accidental inflation
of the supplemental air bag or
damage to the supplemental air
bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the front air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-
ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sen-
sor.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the seat belt system.
This may affect the front air bag
system. Tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not

If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire (if so equipped)
or repair it with the tire puncture
repair kit (if so equipped) as soon
as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the master warning light illumi-
nates if any of the following are displayed
on the vehicle information display:
.No key warning
. Low fuel warning
. Low washer fluid warning
. Parking brake release warning
. Door/rear hatch/trunk open warning
. Loose fuel cap warning
. Check tire pressure warning
. Extended storage fuse warning
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-19).
Seat belt warning light and
chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, and will remain illuminated until
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the
same time, the chime will sound for about
6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied. For approximately 5
seconds after the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the system does not
activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
See “Seat belts” (P.1-10) for precautions on
seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning
light
After pushing the ignition switch to the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light will illuminate. The air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the front air bag, side air bag
and curtain air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner system are operational.

MAINTENANCE INDICATORS

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-33).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the
tire replacement indicator for a cer-tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide
