warning NISSAN QASHQAI 2017 Owner´s Manual

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.
