NISSAN GT-R 2013 R35 Owners Manual

1-42Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
practical away from the side air bags. The side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect 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 deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
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.
. Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain 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 bags and curtain air
bags. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental inflation of the side air
bag and curtain air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation
of the side air bag and curtain air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the side air bag
system may result in serious perso-
nal injury. For example, do not
change the front seat by placing
material near the seatback or by
installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side
air bags.
. Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems should
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. The
SRS wiring harnesses* should not
be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not be
used on the side air bag and curtain
air bag systems.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to
the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETEN-
SIONERS (front seats)
WARNING
. The pretensioners cannot be reused
after activation. They must be re-
placed together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in a
collision but the pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the pre-
tensioner system checked and, if

necessary, replaced by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioners. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental
activation of the pretensioners.
Tampering with the pretensioner
system may result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installation
of electrical equipment should also
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the preten-
sioners.
. If you need to dispose of a preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle
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 preten-
sioner 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
“Supplemental air bag warn-
ing light” page 1-44 for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARN-
ING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental front-
impact air bag are placed in the vehicle as
shown in the illustration.
*1SRS air bag
The warning labels are located on the surface of
the sun visors.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-43

1-44Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARN-
ING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ingin the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front-impact air bag,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact sup-
plemental air bag and seat belt pretensioner
systems. The monitored circuits include the air
bag systems, pretensioners and all related
wirings.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means the SRS air bag systems are
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and/or
pretensioner systems need servicing:
.
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on approximately 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner systems may
not operate properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest GT-R
certified 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 pretensioners will not operate in
an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer as soon as possi- ble.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The 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 GT-R certified
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 pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-

ule and pretensioners should be
replaced by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. The air bag module and
pretensioners cannot be repaired.
. The front air bag, side air bag,
curtain air bag and the pretensioner
should be inspected by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if there is
any damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or a pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
