FRONT AND REAR OUTBOARD
SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT SUP-
PLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND ROOF-
MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT
AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMENTAL
AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front and
rear 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 fol-
lowed. 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
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 and
rear outboard 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
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-59

1-60Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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 the driver, front passenger and rear
outboard occupants 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 and rear
seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)
between the front and rear door
finishers and the front and rear
seats. 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-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front and rear seats
by placing material near the seat-
backs or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers,
around the side air bag.
. Removing or modifying the front
and rear passenger seat may
affect the function of the air bag
system and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the side air bag and
curtain air bag. It is also recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the side air bag or
curtain air bag systems.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that

you inform the buyer about the side air
bag and curtain air bag systems and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sec-
tions in this Owner’s Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS
(front and rear outboard seats)
WARNING
.The pretensioners cannot be re-
used after activation. They must
be replaced together with the
retractor and buckle as a unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in
a collision but a pretensioner is
not activated, be sure to have the
pretensioner system checked
and, if necessary, repaired. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the pretensioner sys-
tem. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental activation of the
pretensioners. Tampering with
the pretensioner system may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the pretensioner system. It is also recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for installation of
electrical equipment. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the pretensioner sys-
tem.
. If you need to dispose of a pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Correct
pretensioner 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 and rear out-
board 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
released 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 breath-
ing condition should get fresh air
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 lightis used to indicate malfunctions in
the pretensioner system. See “Supple-
mental air bag warning light” (P.1-62). 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.
