light NISSAN QASHQAI 2017 Owner´s Manual

This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
.Small adult or child is not sitting upright,
leaning against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with his/her feet
comfortably extended to the floor.
.The child restraint is not properly installed,
as outlined. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-
19) .)
.An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)
hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.
.A child restraint or other object pressing
against the rear of the seatback.
.A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger seat.
.Forcing the front seat or seatback against an
object on the seat or floor behind it.
.An object placed under the front passenger
seat.
.An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console.
.The front passenger seat head restraint
contacting the roof.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any
of the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait 1 minute.NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,
child or child restraint should be repositioned in
the rear seat and it is recommended that the
vehicle should be checked by a NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible.
3. If the light is OFF with no front passenger and no
objects on the front passenger seat, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Other supplemental front-impact 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
injury if the front air bags inflate..Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat that
will leave permanent impressions in
the seat. Such objects can damage
the seat or occupant classification
sensors (weight sensors) . This can
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
.Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat.
This can damage the seat or occu-
pant classification sensors. This can
also affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
.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 infla-
tion of the supplemental air bag or
damage to the supplemental air bag
system.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM-
PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN-
TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails.All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.The
side air bags and curtain air bags are designed
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 inflateon the side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Curtain air bags are also designed to inflate in
certain types of rollover collisions or near
rollovers. As a result, certain vehicle movements
(for example, during severe off-roading) may
cause the curtain air bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
When the side air bags 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.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain
air bags help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in the front and rear outboard
seating positions. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating
side air bag or curtain air bag may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and
curtain air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and thedriver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bags. 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 bags
inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. Because of this, the force of the
side air bags and curtain air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. In a rollover, the curtain air bags
on both sides are designed to inflate. Under
both side-impact situations, the curtain air bags
will remain inflated for a short period of time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in 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

electrical equipment. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on
the pretensioner system.
.If you need to dispose of a preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Correct pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are
set forth in the appropriate NISSAN
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal
injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. 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 occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased 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 freshair promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. See “Supplemental air bag warning
light” (P.1-56). If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates there is a
malfunction, have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ingin the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits for the air bag systems, pretensioners
and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the system is operational.If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bag and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing:
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
.The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or
pretensioner systems may not operate properly.
They must be checked and repaired. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. These systems should be repaired and/
or replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pretensioners 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 hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, side air bag or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioner should be
replaced. It is recommended youvisit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice. However, the air bag modules
and pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
.The front air bag, side air bag and
curtain air bag systems, and preten-
sioner system should be inspected
if there is any damage to the front
end or side portion of the vehicle. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
.If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer. Correct
supplemental air bag and preten-
sioner system disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
.If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should
be checked to verify it is still
functioning correctly. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. The OCS
should be checked even if no airbags deploy as a result of the
impact. Failure to verify proper
OCS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment result-
ing in injury or death.
