PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger supplemental front air
bags (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System) , front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag and pretensioner seat
belts.
Supplemental front impact air bag system:
The 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.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags (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 collisions. The supplemental side air
bag is designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system:This
system can help cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side impact or rollovercollisions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover both curtain air
bags are designed to inflate and remain inflated
for a short time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplementthe crash protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and arenot a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. 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 ON or
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 system is operational.

WARNING
cChildren may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front air
bags, front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental airbags and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental airbags inflate if
they are not properly restrained. Pre-
teens and children should be properly
restrained in the rear seat, if possible.

WARNING
cEven with the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint in the front seat. An in-
flating supplemental front air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. See
“Child restraints” earlier in this section
for details.WARNING

cThe front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, or lower severity
side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity
of injury in various kinds of accidents.
Do not lean against doors or windows.

WARNING
cThe seat belts, the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bags and
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bags are most
effective when you are sitting well back
and upright in the seat. The front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air
bags inflate with great force. Do not
allow anyone to place their hand, leg or
face near the front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags on the
side of the seatback of the front seat or
near the side roof rails. Do not allow
anyone sitting in the front seats or rear
outboard seats to extend their hand out
of the window or lean against the door.
Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the previous
illustrations
WARNING
cWhen sitting in the 2nd row rear seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental airbag inflates,
you may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who should
always be properly restrained. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the illustrations.
cDo not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental airbag inflation.

(front seats)
This 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.

Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags (if so equipped)
and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bags
The front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags are located in the outside of the
seatback of the front seats. The roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags are located in the side roof rails in all 3 rows.
These systems are designed to meet voluntary
guidelines to help reduce the risk of injury to
out-of-position occupants.However, all of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.The front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity side colli-
sions, 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.
The roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bags are also designed to
inflate in certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle movements
(for example, during severe off roading) may
cause the airbags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag op-
eration.
When the front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental 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 con-
dition should get fresh air promptly.Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to
cushion the impact force on the chest of the front
occupants. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bags help to cush-
ion the impact force to the head of occupants in
the front and rear outboard seating positions in all
rows. They can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, a front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental airbag or inflating roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental 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 front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag. Rear seat passen-
gers should be seated as far away as practical
from the door finishers and side roof rails. The
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect the occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
