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 and remain on for 7 seconds
and then go off as described.
2. The supplemental air bag light flashes
intermittently, or remains on after 7 sec-
onds.
3. The supplemental air bag light does not
come on at all.
Under these conditions, the Supplemental
Restraint System Air Bag may not operate
properly. It must be checked and repaired.
Take your vehicle to the nearest authorized
NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the
supplemental air bag system will not
operate in an accident.
Repair and replacement procedure
The supplemental air bag modules are 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 an
authorized NISSAN dealer.
To ensure long-term functioning, the
supplemental air bag 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
should be replaced by an authorized
NISSAN dealer. The supplemental air
bag module cannot be repaired.
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.
c
If 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.

cBe sure the seat belt tongue is se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.
cDo not wear the belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
cDo not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
cNever carry more people in the ve-
hicle than there are seat belts.cIf the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may indi-
cate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked by an au-
thorized NISSAN dealer.
c
All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected by an authorized
NISSAN dealer after any collision.
NISSAN recommends that all seatbelt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either dam-
age or improper operation is noted.
CHILD SAFETY
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
The proper restraint depends on the
child's size. Generally, infants up to about

THREE-PASSENGER BENCH
SEAT
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat.
WARNING
cDo not ride in a moving vehicle when
the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will
not be against your body. In an acci-
dent you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
cFor most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat
should be upright. Always sit well
back in the seat and adjust the seat
belt properly.
Third row passenger shoulder belts are
located slightly behind the third row
seating position. Never try to use the
seat belts for the second row passen-
gers which are in front of the three-
passenger bench seat.WARNING
Use of the second row three-point seat
belts by third row passengers could
increase the chance or severity of in-
jury in a sudden stop or an accident.
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until it snaps.
The retractor is designed to lock during
a sudden stop or on impact. A slow
pulling motion permits the belt to move,
and allows you some freedom of move-
ment in the seat.

Using the Integrated Child Safety
Seats
WARNING:
cNever use the vehicle seat belts to
restrain a child in an integrated childsafety seat. Use only the shoulder-
harness and belt buckle which is
part of the integrated child safety
seat. Never use the integrated child
safety seat as a booster cushion
with the vehicle seat belts.cBefore placing the child in the inte-
grated child safety seat, confirm that
the bench seatback is securely
locked and the seatback release le-
ver is in full down position.
cAlways make sure the integrated
child safety seat belts are properly
positioned on your child. The child
should sit straight up and back
against the bench seat. The shoulder
harnesses should be centered over
the shoulders and fastened with the
chest clip. The belt buckle should be
between the legs and latched to the
shoulder belt tongue. Snugly adjust
the belts around your child. Failure
to properly position the child can
increase the risk or severity of injury
to the child in an accident.
CAUTION
Remember that the interior of a closed
vehicle can become very hot when left
in direct sunlight. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing
your child in the integrated child safety
seat.ARS1215

7.Place the left shoulder harness over the
child's left shoulder. Insert the left shoulder
harness tongue into the left side of the belt
buckle. Confirm that the left shoulder har-
ness tongue indicator is green. The shoul-
der harness tongues only fit into the proper
sides of the belt buckle.
8.Place the right shoulder harness over the
child's right shoulder. Insert the right shoul-
der harness tongue into the right side of the
belt buckle. Confirm that the right shoulder
harness tongue indicator is green. The
shoulder harness tongues only fit into the
proper sides of the belt buckle.
9. Fasten the two halves of the chest clip
and confirm that the chest clip indicator is
green. Adjust the chest clip (slightly lower
than the child's shoulders) so it comfort-
ably holds the shoulder harness in positi-
ton on the child's shoulders.
WARNING
cShoulder harness tongues and chest
clips are equipped with visual indica-
tors to confirm proper and secure
latching. For the safety of the child
and occupants of the vehicle, all indi-cators must show green before oper-
ating the vehicle.
cIf the shoulder harness is unfas-
tened or not fastened properly, the
child could be seriously injured.
10. Grasp the right shoulder harness above
the chest clip and pull until the harness
fully extends and a click is heard. At this
time, the harness retractor is in the
automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode). With the child sitting properly
(straight up and back) in the integrated
child safety seat, allow the right shoul-
