ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (where
fitted for front seats)
WARNING
•Always adjust the head restraints properly as
specified in the previous section. Failure to do
so can reduce the effectiveness of the active
head restraint.
•Active head restraints are designed to supple-
ment other safety systems. Always wear seat
belts. No system can prevent all injuries in an
accident.
•Do not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks. Doing so could impair the active head
restraint’s function.
The head restraint moves forward utilising the force
that the seatback receives from the occupant in a
rear-end collision. The movement of the head re-
straint helps support the occupant’s head by reduc-ing its backward movement and by helping to ab-
sorb some of the forces that may lead to whiplash
type injuries.
Active head restraints are effective for collisions at
low to medium speeds in which it is said that whip-
lash injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in certain rear-
end collisions. After the collision, the head restraints
return to their original positions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as de-
scribed in the previous section.
Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS
Driver’s side
The driver’s seat belt warning light, located in the
instrument panel, will light up if the driver has not
fastened his/her seat belt. See “Warning/indicator
lights and audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section for further details.
Passenger’s side
The front passenger’s seat belt warning light is lo-
cated on the centre console as illustrated and re-
minds the front passenger to fasten his/her seat
belt. The light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position and goes out when the
front passenger has securely fastened his/her seat
belt. A chime will sound unless the front passenger
seat belt is securely fastened when the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 km/h (15 MPH). The chime will
stop after approximately 90 seconds.

SEAT BELTS
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-5

NOTE
The front passenger seat belt warning will not
light up if the seat is unoccupied.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
Your chances of being injured in an accident and/or
the severity of injury may be greatly reduced if you
are wearing your seat belt and it is properly ad-
justed. NISSAN strongly encourages you and all of
your passengers to buckle up every time you drive,
even if your seating position is equipped with an air
bag.
WARNING
Be sure to observe the following warnings when
using seat belts. Failure to do so could increase
the chance and/or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
•Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•No modifications or additions should be made
by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to re-
move slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
•Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort to provide
the protection for which they have been de-
signed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
•Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
•It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a severe impact even
if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
•Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
•Each seat belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
•Every occupant in this vehicle should wear a
seat belt at all times.
•Your vehicle has seating positions and seat
belts for five (5) occupants; two (2) in the front
seats and three (3) in the rear. Never carry
more people in the vehicle than there are seat
belts.
•All seat belt assemblies, including retractors
and attaching hardware, should be inspected
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop af-
ter any collision. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use during a colli-sion should be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no damage and
continue to operate properly. Seat belt assem-
blies not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either damage
or improper operation is noted.
•Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has been ac-
tivated, it cannot be re-used. It must be re-
placed together with the retractor. See a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system components should be done
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
ONLY.
•If the seat belt warning light glows continu-
ously while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, all doors are closed and seat belts
is/are fastened, it may indicate a malfunction
in the system. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Always route the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the belt under your arm. Serious injury can
occur if the seat belt is not worn properly.
•Position the lap belt as low as possible
AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST.
1-6Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

the belt operation. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull
quickly forward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during these checks or
if you have any questions about the seat belt opera-
tion see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbings,apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush it,
wipe with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
•If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the
seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean,
dry cloth.
•Periodically check to see whether the seat
belt and the metal componentssuch as buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and an-
chors work properly. If loose parts, deteriora-
tion, cuts or other damage to the webbing is
found, the entire belt assembly should be re-
placed.
WARNING
•The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor as a unit.
•If the vehicle is 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 or qualified workshop.
•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt opera-
tion. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat
belt system may result in serious personal in-
jury.
•Work on and around the pre-tensioner system
should be done by an authorised NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. Installation of
electrical equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. Unau-
thorised electrical test equipment and prob-
ing 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, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. Correct pre-tensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the ap-propriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause personal in-
jury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system is acti-
vated in conjunction with the front air bag system. It
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle is in-
volved in certain types of collisions by restraining
the seat occupants via the seat belt retractor.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used in the same way
as conventional seat belts.
Additionally, the driver’s side pre-tensioner seat belt
system is also equipped with a lap pre-tensioner.
Both the retractor pre-tensioner and lap pre-ten-
sioner provide significant protection against injury in
an accident and increase the safety performance of
your vehicle.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt system activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is harmless, but care should be taken
not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and choking.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START
position, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag warning light will illuminate. The SRS air bag
warning light will turn off after approximately 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational. If any of the follow-
ing conditions occur, the air bag and/or pre-ten-
sioner seat belt need servicing and your vehicle must
be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-9

•The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
•The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
•The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driver
and front passenger air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Front 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.
NOTE
It is possible to disable the front passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag indicator light”
later in this section for further details.
Side 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 side air bag is designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Curtain air bag system (where fitted):this system
can help cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in the front and rear outer seating posi-
tion. Curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted.
SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passenger seat
belts and isnot designed to substitutethem. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and the driver
and front passenger seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and front
door finishers. For additional information, see “Seat
belts” earlier in this section.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the air bag warning light illumi-nates. The air bag warning light will turn off after
approximately 7 seconds if the system is opera-
tional. See “Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
sectionfor further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.
WARNING
Driver and front passenger air bags.
•The air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a side impact, rear impact, roll over,
or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
•The seat belts and the air bags are most ef-
fective when you are sitting back and upright
in the seat. Air bags inflate with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash
and may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates.

Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
AIR BAG WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the air bag system are placed
in the vehicle. Warning labels are for your safety and
the safety of your passengers; do not remove them.
1.SRS Front passenger air bag warning label/
stickerThe warning label/sticker is located on the
outer side of the passenger’s side instrument
panel.
2.SRS Air bag warning label
The warning label is located on the surface of

Child restraint on front passenger seat
(front passenger air bag equipped
models)
Vehicles equipped with a front passenger air bag,
will have an air bag warning label attached to the
passenger’s side of the instrument panel as (previ-
ously) illustrated.
This label mentions:
“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!”
This label warns you not to fit a rear facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the front passenger air bag.
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
When installing child restraints in your vehicle, al-
ways carefully observe the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. For more details on the installation of child
restraints, see “Child restraints” later in this section.
Children on front passenger seat (side
air bag equipped models)
Vehicles equipped with side air bags, will have a
side air bag warning label attached to the vehicle’s
interior as shown in the (previous) illustration.
This label warns you not to let infants or small chil-
dren sit on the front passenger’s seat as the air bag
may cause serious injury in case of deployment dur-
ing a collision.
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag
warning light, displayingin the instrument
panel, monitors the circuits of the front air bag sys-
tem, side and curtain air bag systems (where fitted)
and pre-tensioner seat belt system. The circuits

monitored by the SRS air bag warning light are: all
sensors, air bag modules and all related wiring, and
the pre-tensioner seat belt.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-
tem is operational.
If any of the following conditions occurs, the front air
bag, side and curtain air bag systems (where fitted)
and pre-tensioner seat belt need servicing and
should be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop:
•The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately 7 seconds.
•The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
•The SRS air bag warning light does not come on
at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bags, side and
curtain air bags (where fitted) and/or pre-tensioner
seat belt will not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags (where fitted), cur-
tain air bags (where fitted) and pre-tensioner seat
belt are designed to activate on a one-time-only ba-
sis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after inflationhas occurred. Repair and replacement of the air bag
system should be done only by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
the air bag systems, related parts and pre-tensioner
seat belt should be pointed out to the person con-
ducting the maintenance. The ignition switch should
always be in the LOCK position when working un-
der the bonnet or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
•Once the air bag has inflated or the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt has been activated, the air
bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt will
not function again and must be replaced. The
air bag module should be replaced by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. The air
bag module cannot be repaired.
•All air bag systems should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop if there
is any damage to the front end portion of the
vehicle.
•When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in
this Owner’s Manual.
•If you need to dispose of an air bag or scrap
the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. Correct air bag disposal pro-
cedures are set forth in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal injury.Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
