WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killedin a collision.
Anchor points are located on the back side of
the seatbacks.
If a child restraint has a top tether strap, it must
be used when installing with the LATCH lower
anchor attachments or seat belts.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap child restraint on the rear
seat, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important information
concerning the following systems:
.Driver and front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System)
.Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
.Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag
.Seat belt with pretensioner (front seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system:This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvic
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.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system:This
system can help cushion the impact force to the
heads of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side impact orrollover collisions. In a side-impact, the curtain
air bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the
curtain air bags on both sides are designed to
inflate. Under both side-impact and rollover
situations, the curtain air bags will remain
inflated for a short period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplementthe crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and arenot a substitutefor them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and door
finishers. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-10) for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
After the ignition is placed 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.
