•If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guideof
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean,
dry cloth.
•Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components, such as buckles,
tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors,
work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts
or other damage on the webbing is found, the
entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.
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.

The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children
aged 12 and under. Always use seat belts and
child restraints. For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, you must always wear
your safety belt. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the airbag. Do not place any objects over
the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. If
the airbag warning light stays on or is flashing
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, go to a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Airbags can only be removed or disposed
of by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Be sure to read the “AIRBAG LABEL” description
at the end of this manual.
In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger
air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem only on the rear seats.
When installing a child restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation. For informa-
tion, see “Child restraints” earlier in this section.SRS air bag warning light
The SRS air bag warning light, displayingin
the instrument panel, monitors the circuits of the
supplemental front-impact air bag, front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag (where
fitted), supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
(where fitted), and pre-tensioner seat belt systems.
The circuits monitored by the SRS air bag warning
light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sen-
sor, satellite sensors, front impact air bag modules,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag modules (where fitted), roof-mounted curtain
side-impact supplemental air bag modules (where
fitted), pre-tensioner seat belt systems, and all re-
lated wiring.
After placing the ignition switch in 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.Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
•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 illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag systems and/or
pre-tensioner seat belt systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and repaired. Con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop imme-
diately.

•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the air bag sys-
tem. This is to prevent accidental inflation of
the air bag or damage to the air bag system.
•Tampering with the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury. Tampering includes
making changes to the steering wheel and
the instrument panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering pad and above the
dashboard, or by installing additional trim ma-
terial around the air bag system.
•Do not attach any objects to the steering
wheel pad or to the instrument panel. Objects
attached to the steering wheel pad and in-
strument panel may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the air bag inflates.
•Work on and around the air bag system should
be done by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Installation of electrical equipment
should be done by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. The yellow SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorised electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should not be used
on the air bag system.
* SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness con-
nectors or on the complete harness, for easy
identification.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
WARNING
•Once the air bags have been inflated, the air
bag modules will not function and must be
replaced. The air bag modules must be re-
placed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. The inflated air bag modules cannot be
repaired.
•The 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 the SRS or scrap the
vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. Correct disposal procedures are
set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are de-
signed to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless the SRS air bag warning light is
damaged, the SRS air bag warning light remains
illuminated after inflation has occurred. The repair
and replacement of the SRS should be done only by
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat
belts and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK position when
working under the bonnet or inside the vehicle.

checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance (see “Brake
system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section).
BRAKE warning light (red)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the light remains illuminated for a few seconds.
If the light illuminates at any other time, it may indi-
cate that the brake system is not functioning prop-
erly. If the BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the
vehicle immediately and contact a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
light warns of a low brake fluid level. If this warning
light illuminates, the Electronic Stability Programme(ESP) warning light and the brake system warning
light (yellow) also illuminate. If the light illuminates
while the ignition switch is in the ON position with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and
perform the following steps:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is
low, add fluid and have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep windows closed while the air conditioner is
operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To replace the fil-
ter, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily while operating the heater or air condition-
ing system.
