center console NISSAN LEAF 2016 1.G Owners Manual

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
, located in the meter and gauges area
of the instrument panel, will blink. Have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Normal operation
In order for the occupant classification sensor
system to classify the front passenger based on
weight, please follow the precautions and steps
outlined below:
Precautions
• Make sure that there are no objects weighing over 2.2 lbs (1kg) hanging on the seat or placed
in the seatback pocket.
• Make sure that a child restraint or other object is not pressing against the rear of the seatback.
• Make sure that the rear passenger is not push- ing or pulling on the back of the front passenger
seat.
• Make sure that the front passenger seat or seatback is not forced back against an object
on the seat or floor behind it.
• Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger seat. Steps
1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”
section of this manual. Sit upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with your feet comfortably ex-
tended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat belts” section of this manual.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allow- ing the system to classify the front passenger
before the vehicle is put into motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the front passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system locks the classification during
driving so it is important that you confirm
that the front passenger is properly classi-
fied prior to driving. Also, the occupant
classification sensor system may recalcu-
late the weight of the occupant when the
vehicle comes to a stop (i.e. stop light, stop
sign, etc.) , so front passenger seat occu-
pants should continue to remain seated as
outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag status light
is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with no front passenger andno objects on the front passenger seat:
This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
• An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1kg) hang-ing on the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
• Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle
and wait 1 minute.

NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is ON after this, the vehicle should
be checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer as soon as possible.
2. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
• Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult,
then this may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the weight
sensors:
• Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably
extended to the floor.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat. • Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle
and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
as soon as possible
3. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front passenger
seat. This may be due to the following conditions
that may be interfering with the weight sen-
sors:
• Small adult or child is not sitting upright,
leaning against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with his/her feet comfort-
ably extended to the floor.
• The child restraint is not properly installed, as outlined in the “Child restraints” section of
this manual.
• An object weighting over 2.2 lbs (1kg) hang- ing on the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.
• A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear or the seatback.

NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
(front seats)
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items.
●Do not allow a passenger in the rear
bench seats to push or pull on the seat-
back pocket.●Do not place heavy loads heavier than
2.2 lb (1 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.
●Make sure that there is nothing press-
ing against the rear of the seatback,
such as a child restraint installed in the
rear seat or an object stored on the
floor.
●Make sure that there is no object placed
under the front passenger seat.
●Make sure that there is no object placed
between the seat cushion and center
console or between the seat cushion
and the door.
●If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy
in a collision. Also the front passenger
air bag status light may not illuminate.
For additional information about in-
stalling and using child restraints, refer
to “Child restraints” in this section.●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 de-
scribed in this section, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
●Until you have confirmed with a dealer
that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.
●Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the
front seat does contact the rear seat,
the air bag system may determine a
sensor malfunction has occurred and
the front passenger air bag status light
may illuminate and the supplemental
air bag warning light may flash.
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.

NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system generally keeps the classifica-
tion locked during driving, so it is important
that you confirm that the front passenger is
properly classified prior to driving. How-
ever, the occupant classification sensor
may recalculate the weight of the occupant
under some conditions (both while driving
and when stopped) , so front passenger
seat occupants should continue to remain
seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag status light
is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the
front passenger seat:
●Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light
is functioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then
this may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
●Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably
extended to the floor.●A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
●A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger seat.
●Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
●An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
●An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the seat
cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of
the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait 1 minute.
