should illuminate. If this light is
not illuminated, see

Sit upright and well back.
WARNING
.The front air bags ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision.
Always wear your seat belts to
help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of acci-
dents.
. The front passenger air bag will
not inflate if the passenger air
bag status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
(
“Front passenger air bag
and status light” page 1-42)
. The seat belts and the front air
bags are most effective when you
are sitting well back and upright
in the seat. The front air bags
inflate with great force. Even with
the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System, if you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the front air bag if you are
up against it when it inflates.
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 as needed. Failure to prop-
erly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
. 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.
(
“Front passenger air bag
and status light” page 1-42)
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could
increase the risk of hand injury if the supplemental front air bag
inflates.

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is de-
signed to automatically turn OFF
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is ne-
cessary for most effective protec-
tion. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual concern-ing the use of seats, seat belts and
child restraints can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.
Status light:
The front passenger air bag status light
is located on the center instrument
panel. After the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the front passenger air
bag status light on the instrument panel
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns off or illuminates depending on the
front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
. Unoccupied passenger seat: Thelight is OFF and the front passenger
air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a
crash.
. Passenger seat occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as out-
lined in this section: The
light
illuminates to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is OFF and will not
inflate in a crash.
. Occupied passenger seat and the
passenger meets the conditions out-
lined in this section: The
light is
OFF to indicate that the front passen-
ger air bag is operational. Front passenger air bag:

body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver and passenger seated
upright as far as 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. In a rollover, the curtain
air bags on both sides are designed to
inflate. Under both side-impact situations,
the 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 placing the ignition switch in 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
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETEN-
SIONERS (front seats)
WARNING
.The pretensioners cannot be re-
used after activation. They must
be replaced together with the
retractor and buckle as a unit.

.If the vehicle becomes involved in
a collision but the pretensioner is
not activated, it is recommended
to have the pretensioner system
checked and, if necessary, re-
placed by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the pretensioners. This
is to prevent damage to or acci-
dental activation of the preten-
sioners. Tampering with the
pretensioner system may result
in serious personal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment
should also be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Un-
authorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should
not be used on the pretensioners.
. If you need to dispose of a pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. In-
correct 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 pretensioner 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 breath-
ing 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
“Supplemental air bag warning light”
page 1-48 for more details.) If the opera-
tion of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, it is
recommended you have the system
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er. When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.

in the meter, monitors the
circuits for the air bag systems, preten-
sioners and all related wirings.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates 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 air bag and/or pretensioner systems
need servicing:

.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. It is recommended you take
your vehicle to the nearest GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
