tion sensor (pressure sensor) and passenger
seat belt tension sensor. Inflator operation is
based on the severity of a collision and seat belt
usage of the driver. For the front passenger, it
additionally monitors the weight of an occupant
or object on the seat and seat belt tension.
Based on information from the sensors, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash, depending on
the crash severity and whether the front occu-
pants are belted or unbelted. Additionally, the
front passenger air bag may be automatically
turned OFF under some conditions, depending
on the weight detected on the passenger seat
and how the seat belt is used. If the front
passenger air bag is OFF, the passenger air bag
status light will be illuminated (if the seat is
unoccupied, the light will not be illuminated, but
the air bag will be off.). See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this section for
further details. One front air bag inflating does
not indicate improper performance of the sys-
tem.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, contact a NISSAN dealer. If you are
considering modifications of your vehicle due to
a disability, you may also contact a NISSAN
dealer. Contact information is contained in the
front of this Owner’s Manual.
When a supplemental front air bag inflates, afairly 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 to
not 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, help 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.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat belts
should be correctly worn and the driver and
passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The supplemental front air bags inflate
quickly in order to help protect the front occu-
pants. 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 front
air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The supplemental front air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
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.1-46

Front passenger air bag and status
light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed
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
necessary for most effective protection.Failure to follow all instructions in this
manual concerning the use of seats,
seat belts and child restraints can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
Status light:
The front passenger air bag status light
is
located on the map light cover. The light oper-
ates as follows:
Unoccupied passenger seat: Theis
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 outlined in this
section: The
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 outlined in this section:
The
is OFF to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is operational.
Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is op-
erated under some conditions as describedbelow in accordance with U.S. regulations. If the
front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate
in a crash. The driver air bag and other air bags
in your vehicle are not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce
the risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag
to certain front passenger seat occupants, such
as children, by requiring the air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. Certain sensors are
used to meet the requirements.
One sensor used is the occupant classification
sensor (pressure sensor). It is in the bottom of
the front passenger seat cushion and is de-
signed to detect an occupant and objects on the
seat by weight. It works together with seat belt
sensors described later. For example, if a child is
in the front passenger seat, the advanced air bag
system is designed to turn the passenger air bag
OFF in accordance with the regulations. Also, if
a child restraint of the type specified in the
regulations is on the seat, its weight and the
child’s weight can be detected and cause the air
bag to turn OFF. The occupant classification
sensor operation can vary depending on the
front passenger seat belt sensors.
The front passenger seat belt sensors are de-
signed to detect if the seat belt is buckled and
the amount of tension on the seat belt, such as
when it is in the automatic locking mode (child

NISSAN dealer.
Other supplemental front air bag
precautions
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 ofthe supplemental air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental inflation
of the supplemental air bag or dam-
age to the supplemental air bag sys-
tem.
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.
Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placingmaterial on the seat cushion or by
installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, on the seat.
Additionally, do not stow any objects
under the front passenger seat or the
seat cushion and seatback. Such ob-
jects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classifica-
tion sensor (pressure sensor).
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect
the supplemental front air bag sys-
tem. Tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Work on and around 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 Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) wiring should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized elec-
trical test equipment and probing de-

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 supplemental side air
bag. Rear seat passengers should be seated as
far away as practical from the door finishers and
side roof rails. The side air bags and curtain
side-impact and rollover air bags inflate quickly
in order to help protect the front and rear
outboard occupants. Because of this, the force
of the side air bag and curtain side-
impact/rollover air bag inflating can increase the
risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is
against, these air bag modules during inflation.
The side air bag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
The curtain side-impact and rollover air bags will
remain inflated for a while.
The supplemental side air bags and curtain
side-impact and rollover air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
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.
WARNING
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if the supplemental
side air bag inflates.
Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain side-impact and roll-
over 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 side air bag and curtain side-
impact/rollover air bag system. This
is to prevent accidental inflation of
the side air bag and curtain side-
impact/rollover air bag or damage to
the side air bag and curtain side-
impact/rollover air bag system.
Do not make unauthorized changesto your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation of
the supplemental side air bag and
curtain side-impact/rollover air bag
system.
Tampering with the supplemental
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing
material near the seatback or by in-
stalling additional trim material, such
as seat covers, around the side air
bag.
Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain side-impact/rollover air
bag system should be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec-
trical equipment should also be done
by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring
harnesses* should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the side
air bag system.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the side air bag and
curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in
this Owner’s Manual.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system (For
front seats)
WARNING
The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be
reused after activation. It must be
replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
If the vehicle becomes involved in a
frontal collision but the pre-tensioner
is not activated, be sure to have the
pre-tensioner system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer.
No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or wiring of
the pre-tensioner seat belt system.
This is to prevent accidental activa-
tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat
belt operation. Tampering with the
pre-tensioner seat belt system may
result in serious personal injury.
Work around and on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
Unauthorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should not
be used on the pre-tensioner seat
belt system.
If you need to dispose of the pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are
set forth in the appropriate NISSAN
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal
injury.The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system
activates in conjunction with the supplemental
front air bag system. 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 occu-
pants.
Also, the front seat pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem activates in conjunction with the supple-
mental side-impact/rollover air bag system.
Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps
tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of rollover collisions or
rear rollovers.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used the same as
conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be
heard. The 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.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light
will not come on, will flash inter-
mittently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain
on after the ignition switch has been turned to
