1-52Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
front seat, the front passenger air bag
status light may or may not be illumi-
nated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used.
If the front passenger air bag status light
is not illuminated (indicating that the air
bag might inflate in a crash), it could be
that the child restraint or seat belt is not
being used properly. Make sure that the
child restraint is installed properly, the
seat belt is used properly and the occu-
pant is positioned properly. If the front
passenger air bag status light is not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or
child restraint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light
will not illuminate even though you be-
lieve that the child restraint, the seat belts
and the occupant are properly positioned,
it is recommended that you take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer. A NISSAN
dealer can check the system status by
using a special tool. However, until you
have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposi-
tion the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
and front passenger air bag status light
will take a few seconds to register a
change in the passenger seat status. This
is normal system operation and does notindicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front
passenger air bag system, the supple-
mental air bag warning light
, located
in the meters and gauges area, will
illuminate. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
Normal operation:
In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front pas-
senger based on weight, please follow the
precautions and steps outlined below:
Precautions:
. Make sure that there are no objects
weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.
. Make sure that a child restraint or
other object is not pressing against
the rear of the seatback.
. Make sure that a rear passenger is not
pushing or pulling on the back of the
front passenger seat.
. Make sure that the front passenger
seat or seatback is not forced back
against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
. Make sure that there is no object
placed under the front passenger
seat. .
Make sure that the front passenger
seat head restraint does not contact
the roof when adjusting the front
passenger seat.
Steps:
1. Adjust the seat as outlined. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).) Sit upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet
comfortably extended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-11).) Front passenger
seat belt buckle status is monitored
by the occupant classification system,
and is used as an input to determine
occupancy status. So, it is highly
recommended that the front passen-
ger fasten their seat belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classify the
front passenger before the vehicle is
put into motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by check- ing the front passenger air bag status
light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification
sensor system locks the classification

during driving so it is important that
you confirm that the front passenger is
properly classified prior to driving. Also,
the occupant classification sensor sys-
tem may recalculate the weight of the
occupant under some conditions (both
while driving and when stopped), so the
front passenger seat occupant should
continue to remain seated as outlined
above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupyingthe front passenger seat:
.Occupant is a small adult — the front
passenger air bag status light is func-
tioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small
adult, then this may be due to the
following conditions that may be interfer-
ing with the weight sensors:
. Occupant is not sitting upright, lean-
ing against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the
floor.
. A child restraint or other object press-
ing 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 or be-
tween the seat cushion and the door.
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 dur-
ing which the front passenger air bag
status light will remain lit for about 7
seconds initially.
If the light is still ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and it is recommended
that the vehicle should be checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front
passenger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-
tions 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 re-
straints” (P.1-20).)
. 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 press-
ing 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 re-
straint 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 dur-
ing 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 passengerand 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
instrument panel. Also, do not
place any objects between any
occupant and the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles 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 impres-
sions in the seat. Such objects
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors (weight
sensors). This can affect the op-
eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents 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 inflation of the supple-
mental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri- cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the front air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-
ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and

1-56Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
They are designed to inflate on 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 colli-
sions 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 breath-
ing 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 cush-
ion 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 notprovide 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
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.
The side air bag will deflate quickly after
the collision is over. The curtain air bag
will remain inflated for a short 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 supple-
mental 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 finisher and the front
seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if a side air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side
air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tem 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 side air bag and
curtain air bag systems. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental
inflation of the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
side panel. This could affect prop-
er operation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
. Tampering with the side air bag
system may result in serious per-

1-58Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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 “Supple-
mental air bag warning light” (P.1-59). If
the operation of the supplemental air bag
warning light indicates there is a mal-
function, 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 preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin 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 warn-
ing light illuminates 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 servicing: .
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 recom-
mended 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 sup-
plemental air bag warning light will re-
main illuminated after inflation has
occurred. These systems should be re-
paired and/or replaced as soon as possi-
ble. It is recommended 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 mainte-
nance. 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. Ad-
ditionally, the activated preten-
sioners must also be replaced.
The air bag module and preten-
sioner should be replaced. It is
