CAUTION
Do not use the lap/shoulder belt auto-
matic locking mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts. When
you install a booster seat in the rear
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the booster seat on the seat. Onlyplace it in a front facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions.
2. The booster seat should be positioned on the
vehicle seat so that it is stable. If necessary,
adjust or remove the head restraint to obtain
the correct booster seat fit. See “Head re-
straint adjustment” earlier in this section. If
the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to install the head
restraint when the booster seat is removed. If
the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try another seat-
ing position or a different booster seat.

PRECAUTIONS ON
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEMThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger front impact supple-
mental air bags, front seat side-impact supple-
mental air bags, curtain side-impact and rollover
air bags and front seat pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front impact air bag system:
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the face and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Supplemental side-impact 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 collisions. The front seat
side-impact supplemental air bags are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact and roll-
over air bag system:This system can help
cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in front and rear outboard seating posi-
tions in certain side impact or rollover collisions.
In a side impact, the curtain air bags are de-
signed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. In a rollover, both curtain air bags are
designed to inflate and remain inflated for a
while.These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplementthe crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and arenot a substitutefor them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel, door finishers
and side roof rails. (See “Seat belts” earlier in
this section for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

WARNING
The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the supplemental
front air bags are most effectivewhen you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. Supplemental
front air bags inflate with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal in-
juries from the supplemental front air
bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practicalfrom the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat
belts.
The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with sen-
sors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The air bag system moni-
tors the severity of a collision and
then inflates the air bags based on
belt usage. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
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 supplemental front air bag in-
flates.
Never let children ride unrestrained
or extend their hands or face out of
the window. Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustra-
tions. Pre-teens and children should

be properly restrained in the rear
seat, if possible.
Children may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front
air bags, side air bags or curtain
side-impact and rollover air bags in-
flate if they are not properly re-
strained. Pre-teens and children
should be properly restrained in the
rear seat, if possible.
Also, never install a rear facing child
restraint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental front air bag couldseriously injure or kill your child. For
additional information, see “Child re-
straints” earlier in this section.

WARNING
Supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact and rollover air bag:
The supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact and rollover air
bag ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a frontal impact, rear impact
or lower severity side collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.

The seat belts, the supplemental side
air bags and curtain side-impact and
rollover air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain side-impact and rollover
air bag inflate with great force. Do
not allow anyone to place their hand,
leg or face near the side air bag on
the side of the seatback of the front
seat or near the side roof rails. Do not
allow anyone sitting in the frontseats or rear outboard seats to ex-
tend their hand out of the window or
lean against the door. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustra-
tions.
When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you
may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who
should always be properly restrained.Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.

Supplemental front air bag systemThe driver supplemental air bag is located in the
center of the steering wheel; the front passenger
supplemental air bag is mounted in the instru-
ment panel above the glove box. These systems
are designed to meet optional certification re-
quirements under U.S. regulations. They are also
permitted in Canada. The optional certification
allows front air bags to be designed to inflate
somewhat less forcefully than previously.How-
ever, all of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual still apply and
must be followed.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 dam-
age (or lack of it) is not always an indication of
proper supplemental air bag operation.
The supplemental air bag system has dual stage
inflators for both the driver and passenger air
bags. The system monitors information from the
crash zone sensor, the diagnosis sensor unit and
seat belt buckle sensors that detect if the seat
belts are fastened, inflator operation is based on
the severity of a collision and whether the seat
belts are being used. Only one front air bag may
inflate in a crash, depending on the crash sever-
ity and whether the front occupants are belted orunbelted. This does not indicate improper per-
formance of the system. If you have any ques-
tions about the performance of your air bag
system, contact a NISSAN dealer.
When the supplemental front air bag inflates, a
fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by
release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and
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.
Supplemental front air bags, along with the use
of seat belts, helps to cushion the impact force
on the face and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating front air bag may
cause facial abrasions or other injuries. Front air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. The supplemental 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 increase the risk of injury if
the occupant is too close to, or is against the air
bag module during inflation. The air bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over.
After turning the ignition switch to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.
WARNING
Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the supplemental front air bag
inflates.
Immediately after 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 air bag or damage to the air
bag system.

Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or front end
structure. This could affect proper
operation of the supplemental air
bag system.
Tampering with the supplemental
front air bag system may result in
serious personal injury. Tampering
includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel as-
sembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing ad-
ditional trim material around the air
bag system.
Work around and on the supplemen-
tal front air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
The yellow and orange Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring and
connectors should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the air
bag system.
A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect inflation of the supple-
mental air bag system.
The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy iden-
tification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Supplemental side air bag and curtain
side-impact and rollover air bag
systemsThe supplemental side air bags are located in
the outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The supplemental curtain side-impact and roll-
over air bags are located in the side roof rails.
These systems are designed to meet voluntary
guidelines to help reduce the risk of injury to
out-of-position occupants.However, all of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
