WARNING
cThe 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 up-
right in the seat. The side air bag and
curtain 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 front seats or
rear outboard seats to extend their
hand out of the window or lean against
the door. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the previ-
ous illustrations.
WARNING
cWhen sitting in the 2nd row rear seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you may
be seriously injured. Be especially care-
ful with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.
cDo not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.

cDo not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or front end structure.
This could affect proper operation of
the supplemental front air bag system.
cTampering with the supplemental front
air bag system may result in serious
personal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel and the
instrument panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel pad
and above the instrument panel or by
installing additional trim material
around the air bag system.
cModifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing mate-
rial on the seat cushion or by installing
additional trim material, such as seat
covers, on the seat that are not specifi-
cally designed to assure proper air bag
operation. Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passenger seat
or the seat cushion and seatback. Such
objects may interfere with the proper
operation of the occupant classifica-
tion system (weight sensor) .cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect the
supplemental front air bag system.
Tampering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal injury.
cWork on and around the supplemental
front air bag system should be done by
a NISSAN dealer. Installation of electri-
cal equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring should not
be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the air bag system.
cA cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield could
affect the function of the supplemental
air bag system.
cThe SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Supplemental side-impact air bag (if
so equipped) and curtain side-impact
and rollover air bags (if so equipped)
system
The supplemental side-impact air bags are lo-
cated in the outside of the seatback of the front
seats. The supplemental curtain side-impact and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof rails
in all 3 rows. 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 warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.The supplemental side air bags and

curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity side impact. They are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of rollover
collisions or near rollovers.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag op-
eration.
When the supplemental side air bag and curtain
air bags inflate, 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 side air bags, along with the use of
seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest of the front occupants. Curtain side-
impact and rollover air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head of occupants in the front
and rear outboard seating positions in all rows.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating side air bag, orcurtain air bag may cause abrasions or other
injuries. Supplemental side air bags and curtain
side-impact and rollover 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 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 air
bag inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. Because of this, the force of the side
air bag and curtain 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 after the collision is
over.
The curtain side-impact and rollover air bag will
remain inflated for a short time.
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 positions.
After turning the ignition key 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 system is operational.WARNING
cDo not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front seats. Also, do not
place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front door finisher
and the front seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the supplemental side air
bag inflates.
cRight after inflation, several side air bag
and curtain side-impact and rollover air
bag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the side air bag and curtain air bag
system. This is to prevent accidental
inflation of the side air bag and curtain
air bag or damage to the side air bag
and curtain air bag system.
cDo not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or side panel. This
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental curtain air bag system.
