child seat NISSAN QUEST 2005 V42 / 3.G Service Manual

The front passenger seat belt sensors are de-
signed to detect if the seat belt is buckled and the
amount of tension on the seat belt, such as when
it is in the automatic locking mode (child restraint
mode) . Based on the weight on the seat detected
by the weight sensor and the belt tension de-
tected on the seat belt, the advanced air bag
system determines whether the front passenger
air bag should be automatically turned OFF as
required by the regulations.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as out-
lined in this manual should not cause the passen-
ger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For
small adults it may be turned OFF. Also, if the
occupant takes his/her weight off the seat cush-
ion (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out
of position) , this could cause the sensor to turn
the air bag OFF. In addition, if the occupant
improperly uses the seat belt in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode) , this could
cause the air bag to be turned OFF. Always be
sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt
properly for the most effective protection by the
seat belt and supplemental air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-
dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.
NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child
restraints and booster seats be properly installedin a rear seat. If this is not possible, the weight
sensor and seat belt sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child re-
straints as required by the regulations. Failing to
properly secure child restraints and to use the
automatic locking mode (child restraint mode)
may allow the restraint to tip or move in an acci-
dent or sudden stop. This can also result in the
passenger air bag inflating in a crash instead of
being OFF. See “Child restraints” later in this
section for proper use and installation.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied and
the seat belt is not buckled, the passenger air bag
is designed not to inflate in a crash. However,
heavy objects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object’s weight
detected by the weight sensor. Other conditions
could also result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two children are
on the seat, contrary to the instructions in this
manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can
monitor when the front passenger air bag is au-
tomatically turned OFF. The light will illuminate
(indicating the air bag is OFF and will not inflate)
when the front passenger seat is not occupied.If an adult occupant is in the seat and the pas-
senger air bag status light is illuminated (indicat-
ing that the air bag is OFF) , it could be that the
person is a small adult, not sitting on the seat, or
not using the seat belt properly. If a child restraint
must be used in the front seat, but the status light
is not lit (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. If such situations
happen, properly position and restrain the occu-
pant or child restraint. Otherwise reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the passenger air bag status
light
orwill illuminate and the
supplemental air bag warning light, located
in the meter and gauges area in the center of the
instrument panel, will blink. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Auto reverse function (when closing or
tilting down the sunroof)
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the sunroof is closed or tilted down by automatic
operation when the ignition key is in the ON
position or for about 45 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the sunroof oc-
curs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the sunroof.
When closing:
If the control unit detects something caught in the
sunroof as it moves to the front, the sunroof will
immediately open backward.
When tilting down:
If the control unit detects something caught in the
sunroof as it tilts down, the sunroof will immedi-
ately tilt up.If the auto reverse function malfunctions and re-
peats opening or tilting up the sunroof, keep
pushing the tilt down switch within 5 seconds
after it happens, then the sunroof will fully close
gradually. In this case, make sure nothing is
caught in the sunroof.
WARNING
cIn an accident you could be thrown from
the vehicle through an open sunroof.
Always use seat belts and child
restraints.
cDo not allow anyone to stand up or
extend any portion of their body out of
the sunroof opening while the vehicle is
in motion or while the sunroof is
closing.
CAUTION
cRemove water drops, snow, ice or sand
from the sunroof before opening.
cDo not place heavy objects on the sun-
roof or surrounding area.
Sunshade
Open and close the sunshade by sliding it for-
ward or backward.
If the sunroof does not close
Have your NISSAN dealer check and repair the
sunroof.

WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally open-
ing the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.
CAUTION
cAlways use the door handle to open or
close a sliding door. Do not attempt to
open or close the doors by merely plac-
ing your hand on the door edge or door
slide roller, as this may cause injury.
cAlways be sure that hands and feet are
clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing a sliding door.cWhen opening a sliding door on a slope,
ensure that it is fully open and that it
does not close by itself.
LOCKING WITH KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock or
unlock all doors at the same time.
Turning the key toward the front
s1of the vehicle
locks all doors.
Turning the key one time toward the rear
s2of the
vehicle unlocks that door. From that position,
returning the key to neutral
s3(where the key can
only be removed and inserted) and turning it
toward the rear again within 5 seconds unlocks
all doors
s4.

WARNING
cOn hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possi-
bly fatal injuries to people or animals.
Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others in your vehicle. Unattended pets
should not be left alone either.
cProperly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
cDo not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.
cIf you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle
inspected immediately.cDo not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
cDo not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
cKeep the back door and rear vent win-
dows closed while driving, otherwise
exhaust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must
drive with the back door or rear vent
windows open, follow these
precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation but-
ton to off and the fan control dial to
high to circulate the air.
cIf electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the back door or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dation to prevent carbon monoxide en-
try into the vehicle.
cThe exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
cThe exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-
tem are very hot. Keep people, animals
or flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.
cDo not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
