PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems:∙ Driver and front passenger supplemen- tal front-impact air bag (NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System)
∙ Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag
∙ Rear outboard seat-mounted side- impact supplemental air bag
∙ Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
∙ Driver and passenger supplemental knee air bag
∙ Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front and rear outboard seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem
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
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side-impact col-
lisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted.
Rear outboard seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the rear outboard
seat passengers in certain side-impact
collisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted.
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 collisions. The curtain air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the
curtain air bags are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a short time.Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe
crash protection provided by the driver and
front passenger and rear outboard seat
belts and is not a substitute for them. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and
the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Seat belts” in this sec-
tion.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.
Af ter placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)
1-44Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Page 79 of 500
WARNING
∙ The front air bags ordinarily will notinflate 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
accidents
∙ The front passenger air bag and pas- senger knee air bag will not inflate if
the passenger air bag status light is
lit. For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section. ∙ The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are sit-
ting 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 unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways 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 seatback and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
Always properly use the seat belts.
∙
The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with sensors
that detect if the seat belts are fas-
tened. The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a colli-
sion 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 classification sen-
sor (weight sensor) that turns the
front passenger air bag and passen-
ger knee air bag OFF under some con-
ditions. 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.
For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” in this section.
∙ Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase
the risk that they are injured when the
front air bag inflates.WRS0031

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, please observe the following
items.
∙ Do not allow a passenger in the rearbench seats to push or pull on the
seatback pocket.
∙ Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint 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 installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts the
instrument panel. If the child restraint
does contact the instrument panel,
the system may determine the seat is
occupied and the passenger air bag
and passenger knee air bag may de-
ploy in a collision. Also the front pas-
senger air bag status light may not
illuminate. For additional information,
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
described in this section, get the oc-
cupant classification system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. ∙ Until you have confirmed with a
dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in
the rear seating 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 supple-
mental air bag warning light may
flash.
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada. However, all of the information,
cautions and warnings in this manual
still apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag is mounted in the
dashboard above the glove box. The front
air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they
1-52Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Page 87 of 500
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper front air bag system op-
eration.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor, the Air bag Control Unit (ACU), seat
belt buckle sensors and occupation classi-
fication sensor (weight sensor). Inflator op-
eration is based on the severity of a colli-
sion and seat belt usage for the driver. For
the front passenger, the occupant classifi-
cation sensor is also monitored. Based on
information from the sensor, only one front
air bag may inflate in a crash, depending on
the crash severity and whether the front
occupants are belted or unbelted. Addi-
tionally, the front passenger air bag and
passenger knee air bag may be automati-
cally turned off under some conditions, de-
pending on the weight detected on the
front passenger seat and how the seat belt
is used. If the front passenger air bag and
passenger knee air bag are OFF, the front
passenger air bag status light will be illumi-
nated. For additional information, refer to
“Front passenger air bag and status light” inthis section. One front air bag inflating does
not indicate improper performance of the
system.
If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer to obtain information
about the system. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a dis-
ability, you may also contact NISSAN. Con-
tact information is contained in the front of
this Owner’s Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the re-
lease of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken to not inhale it, as it may cause irrita-
tion and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the face and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, an inflating front air
bag may cause facial abrasions or other
injuries. Front air bags do not provide re-
straint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated upright
as far as practical away from the steering
wheel or instrument panel. The front air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the front occupants. Because of this, the
force of the front air bag inflating can in-
crease the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, the front air bag
module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly af ter a
collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
Af ter placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.

∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front pas- senger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cushion and center console.
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. Re-
start 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 OFF af ter this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be re-
positioned in the rear seat and the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. 3. If the light is OFF with no front passen-
ger and no objects on the front pas-
senger seat, the vehicle should be
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions
WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steer- ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the front air
bags inflate.
∙ Immediately af ter inflation, several front 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 supplemental air bag system. This
is to prevent accidental inflation of
the supplemental air bag or damage
to the supplemental air bag system. ∙ Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or front end struc-
ture. This could affect proper opera-
tion of the front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag sys- tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. Tampering includes changes to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by in-
stalling additional trim material
around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modif ying the front pas- senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in seri-
ous personal injury.

approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The
light will remain on af ter 1 minute. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
The "Tire Pressure Low — Add Air" warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, refer to “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “Tire
pressure” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of
this manual.
WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affectelectric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use. ∙
If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch placed in the ON posi-
tion, have the vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
∙If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure. Se-
rious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could re-
sult in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure show on
the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
off. If the light still illuminates while
driving af ter adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS may
be malfunctioning. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon
as possible. If no tire is flat and all tires
are properly inflated, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
∙ When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on af ter 1 minute. Have your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
∙ The TPMS is not a substitute for theregular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
∙ If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 mph (25 km/h), the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
∙ Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.
