NISSAN ADVANCED AIR BAG
SYSTEM (FRONT SEATS)
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s advanced air bag system, please
observe the following items.
• Do not allow a passenger in the rear
seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.
• Do not place heavy loads heavier than
9lb (4 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.
• Do not store luggage behind the seat
that can press into the seatback.
• Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status
light.
• If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating as
described later in this section, please
take your vehicle to your NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer to check the occu-
pant classification system.• Until you have confirmed with your
dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in the
rear seating positions.
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.All of the
information, 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
passenger supplemental 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 inflate 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 op-
eration.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has dual
stage air bag inflators. The system monitors infor-
mation from the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) , seatbelt buckle sensors and the occupant classifica-
tion sensors (weight sensors) . Inflator operation
is based on the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage for the driver. For the front passenger,
the occupant classification sensors are also
monitored. Based on information from the sen-
sors, only one front air bag may inflate in a crash,
depending on the crash severity and whether the
front occupants are belted or unbelted. Addition-
ally, the front passenger air bag may be automati-
cally turned OFF under some conditions, de-
pending on the information provided by the
occupant classification sensors. If the front pas-
senger air bag is OFF, the passenger air bag
status light will be illuminated (if the seat is unoc-
cupied, the light will not be illuminated, but the air
bag will be off) . See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” 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, contact NISSAN or a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer. If you are considering modification
of your vehicle due to a disability, you may also
contact NISSAN. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.
