WARNING
The three-passenger sliding bench
seat is not intended to be removed from
the vehicle by consumers. However, if
it must be removed, have a qualified
person remove it. That person should
refer to the instructions in the Service
Manual. When seat is reinstalled, the
attaching bolts must be tightened to
the appropriate torque specifications.
Failure to follow these instructions
could increase the chance and/or se-
verity of injury in an accident.
Cleaning the seat tracks
The seat tracks for the three-passenger
sliding bench seat should be cleaned peri-
odically with a high-powered vacuum
cleaner. If the seat tracks become dirty it
may reduce the ability to slide the seat. A
wet cleansing agent may be used if neces-
sary, but the seat tracks must be thoroughly
dried.Use a cloth wrapped around a screwdriver
(or similar object) to clean the seat tracks.
Do not use your fingers to clean debris from
the tracks.
Do not apply any type of lubricant to the
seat tracks.
WARNING
cNever insert fingers into the seat
track rails. The rails may be sharp
and could cause injury.This Supplemental Restraint System de-
scription contains important information
concerning the special driver and passen-
ger supplemental air bag. The Supplemen-
tal Restraint System Air Bag can help re-
duce impact force to the driver and to the
front passenger in certain frontal collisions.
The air bags are designed tosupplement
the crash protection provided by the seat
belts and arenot a substitutefor the seat
belts. The seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the driver and front passen-
ger seated a suitable distance from the
steering wheel and instrument panel. (See
``Seat belts'' for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
WARNING
The supplemental air bag ordinarily will
not inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, roll over, or lower severity
frontal collision; so always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents.

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 steering
wheel or dashboard. Since the supplemen-
tal air bag inflates quickly in order to help
protect the occupant, the force of the
supplemental air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to or is against the supplemental air bag
module during inflation.
The supplemental air bag deflates quickly
after a collision.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
WARNING
cRight after inflation, several supple-
mental air bag system components
will be hot. Do not touch them; you
may severely burn yourself.cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the supplemental air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental inflation
of the supplemental air bag or dam-
age to the supplemental air bag
system.
cTampering with the supplemental air
bag system may result in serious
personal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel and
the instrument panel assembly by
placing material over the steering
wheel pad and above the instrument
panel, or by installing additional trim
material around the supplemental air
bag system.
cDo not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or to 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 in-
jury if the supplemental air bag
inflates.cWork around and on the supplemen-
tal air bag system should be done by
an authorized NISSAN dealer. Instal-
lation of electrical equipment should
also be done by an authorized NIS-
SAN dealer. The yellow SRS wiring
should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the supple-
mental air bag system.

Warning labels about the supplemental air
bag system are placed in the vehicle.The supplemental air bag light, displaying
AIR BAG in the instrument panel, monitors
the circuits of the supplemental air bag. The
circuits monitored by the supplemental air
bag light are the diagnosis sensor unit, air
bag modules and all related wiring.
When the ignition key is in the ON or START
position, the supplemental air bag light illu-
minates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off. This means the system is operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental air bag needs servicing and
should be taken to your nearest authorized
NISSAN dealer:
1. The supplemental air bag light does not
come on for 7 seconds and then go off as
described above.
2. The supplemental air bag light flashes
intermittently or remains on.
3. The supplemental air bag light does not
come on at all.
Under these conditions, the Supplemental
Restraint System Air Bag does not operate
properly. It must be checked and repaired.
Repair and replacement procedure
The supplemental air bag system is de-
signed to inflate on a one-time-only basis.
As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the
supplemental air bag light remains illumi-
nated after inflation has occurred. Repair
and replacement of the supplemental air
bag system should be done only by autho-
rized NISSAN dealers.To ensure long-
term functioning, the system must be
inspected 10 years after the date of
manufacture as noted on the certifica-tion label located on the driver side front
pillar.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental air bag system
and related parts should be pointed out to
the person conducting the maintenance.
The ignition key should always be in the
LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
cOnce the supplemental air bag in-
flates, the supplemental air bag
module will not function again and
must be replaced. The supplemental
air bag module cannot be repaired.
cAfter an air bag inflates, the front
instrument panel assembly should
be replaced if damaged, by your NIS-
SAN dealer.
cThe supplemental air bag system
should be inspected by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer if there is any
damage to the front end portion of
the vehicle or replaced if the supple-
mental air bag has inflated.c
When selling your vehicle, we re-
quest that you inform the buyer about
the supplemental air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner's Manual.
cIf you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or scrap the vehicle,
contact an authorized NISSAN dealer.
Correct supplemental air bag dis-
posal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
