GUID-B5BA121C-5140-48A0-824E-FEE9660B2B8C
WARNING
.The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must
be used when installing a child
restraint. Failure to use the ALR
mode will result in the child re-
straint not being properly secured.
The restraint could tip over or be
loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. See ªFront pas-
senger air bag and status lightº (P.1-
56) .
. When installing a child restraint
system in the 3rd row center posi-
tion, both the center seat belt con-
nector tongue and buckle tongue
must be secured. See ª3rd row
center seat beltº (P.1-20) .

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) Ð step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the ªChild
safetyº and ªChild restraintsº sections before
installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs, (29.5 kg) use the vehicle's
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions for installa-
tion.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint or
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint or headrest when the child
restraint is removed. See ªHead re-
straints/headrestsº (P.1-10) for head re-
straint or headrest adjustment, removal and
installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest and it
is interfering with the proper child restraint
fit, try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

Installing top tether strap (2nd row seats)GUID-358B4C8C-C7C4-4FA0-9652-6B70368BAC4E
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt.
1. If necessary, raise or remove the head
restraint to position the top tether strap over
the top of the seatback. If the head restraint
is removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. See ªHead
restraints/headrestsº (P.1-10) for head re-
straint adjustment, removal and installation
information.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point on the back of each seatback behind
the child restraint.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove any
slack. Make sure the head restraint does not
contact the top tether strap.
If you have any questions when installing a
top tether strap on the rear seat, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

RESTRAINT SYSTEM
GUID-AF2C3F47-A68E-41D2-905A-0F1892F3D7BAThis Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information concern-
ing the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvis
area of the driver and front passenger in certain
side impact collisions. The supplemental side air
bag is designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in front and rear (2nd and 3rd)
outboard seating positions in certain side impact
collisions. The curtain air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to
supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and door
finishers. (See ªSeat beltsº (P.1-15) for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING
.The supplemental front air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a side impact, rear impact,
rollover, or lower severity frontal
collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents.
. The front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag
status light is lit or if the front
passenger seat is unoccupied. See
ªFront passenger air bag and status
lightº (P.1-56) .
. The seat belts and the front air bags
are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat. The front air bags inflate with
great force. Even with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System, if you are
unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-
ting sideways or out of position in
any way, you are at greater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may
also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the front air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit
&RQGLWLRQ


> (GLW    0RGHO 0< 1,66$1 48(67(20((8 @
back against the seatback and as
far-away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Al-
ways use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger seat
belt buckles are equipped with
sensors that detect if the seat belts
are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag
System monitors the severity of a
collision and seat belt usage then
inflates the air bags. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury
in an accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifica-
tion sensors (weight sensors) that
turn the front passenger air bag
OFF under some conditions. This
sensor is only used in this seat.
Failure to be properly seated and
wearing the seat belt can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident. See ªFront passenger air
bag and status lightº (P.1-56) .
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could in-
crease the risk of injury if the front air bag inflates.

GUID-A80E82F5-3999-4182-9EA5-348540E733C8
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the
passenger's advanced air bag system,
please observe the following items.
.Do not allow a passenger in the rear
seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.
. Do not place heavy loads heavier
than 9 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback or
in the seatback pocket. Do not hang
anything from the head restraint.
. Do not store cargo behind the seat
that can press into the seatback.
. Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear seat. If
the front seat does contact the rear
seat, the air bag system may deter-
mine a sensor malfunction has oc-
curred and the front passenger air
bag status light may illuminate and
the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash.
. If a forward facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat, do not position the front
passenger seat so the child restraint
contacts the instrument panel. If the
child restraint does contact the in-
strument panel, the system may
determine the seat is occupied and
the passenger air bag may deploy in
a collision. Also the front passenger
air bag status light may not illumi-
nate. See ªChild restraintsº (P.1-27)
for information about installing and
using child restraints.
. Confirm the operating condition
with the front passenger air bag
status light.
. If you notice that the front passen-
ger air bag status light is not
operating, please take your vehicle
to your NISSAN dealer to check the
occupant classification system.
. Until you have confirmed with your
dealer that your passenger seat
occupant classification system is
working properly, position the occu-
pants in the rear seating positions.
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is designed to meet certification requirements under U.S.
regulations. It is also permitted in Canada.
All of
the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is
mounted in the instrument panel above the glove
box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity
frontal impact. They may not inflate in certain
frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is
not always an indication of proper front air bag
operation.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has
dual stage air bag inflators. The system monitors
information from the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) ,
seat belt buckle sensors and the occupant
classification sensors (weight sensors) . Inflator
operation is based on the severity of a collision
and seat belt usage for the driver. For the front
passenger, the occupant classification sensors
are also monitored. Based on information from
the sensors, only one front air bag may inflate in
a crash, depending on the crash severity and
whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger air
bag may be automatically turned OFF under
Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55

some conditions, depending on the information
provided by the occupant classification sensors.
If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the
passenger air bag status light will be illuminated
(if the seat is unoccupied, the light will not be
illuminated, but the air bag will be off) . (See
ªFront passenger air bag and status lightº (P.1-
56) for further details.) One front air bag inflating
does not indicate improper performance of the
system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer to obtain information about the system. If
you are considering modification of your vehicle
due to a disability, you may also contact
NISSAN. Contact information is contained in
the front of this Owner's Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, 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 breathing condition should get fresh
air promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the head
and chest of the front occupants. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,
an inflating front air bag may cause facialabrasions or other injuries. Front air bags do
not provide restraint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order
to help protect the front occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, the air bag module during
inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.

Status light:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The front passenger seat is equipped with
occupant classification sensors (weight sen-
sors) that turn the front passenger air bag on or
off depending on the weight applied to the front
passenger seat.
The status of the front passenger air bag (ON or
OFF) is indicated by the front passenger air bag
status light
which is located on the
instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the front passenger air bag status light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off or illuminates depending on the front
passenger seat occupied status. The light
operates as follows:
The light operates as follows:
. Unoccupied passenger seat: The
light
is OFF and the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
. Front passenger seat occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as outlined in
this section: The
light illuminates to
indicate that the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash. .
Occupied passenger seat and the passen-
ger meets the conditions outlined in this
section: The
light is OFF to indicate that
the front passenger air bag is operational.
In addition to the above, certain objects placed
on the front passenger seat may also cause the
light to operate as described above depending
on their weight.
For additional information related to the normal
operation and troubleshooting of this occupant
classification sensor system, please refer to
ªNormal operationº (P.1-58) and ªTroubleshoot-
ingº (P.1-59) in this section.
Front passenger air bag:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below as permitted by U.S. regulations. If the
front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate
in a crash. The driver air bag and other air bags
in your vehicle are not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce
the risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag
to certain front passenger seat occupants, such
as children, by requiring the air bag to be
automatically turned OFF.
The occupant classification sensors (weight
sensors) are on the seat cushion frame under
the front passenger seat and are designed to detect an occupant and objects on the seat. For
example, if a child is in the front passenger seat,
the Advanced Air Bag System is designed to
turn the passenger air bag OFF in accordance
with the regulations. Also, if a child restraint of
the type specified in the regulations is on the
seat, the occupant classification sensors can
detect it and cause the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as
outlined in this manual should not cause the
passenger air bag to be automatically turned
OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF,
however, if the occupant does not sit in the seat
properly (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. 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
installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the
occupant classification sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF for specified child
restraints. Failing to properly secure child

1-58Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
restrains and to use the ALR mode may allow
the restraint to tip or move in an accident or
sudden stop. This can also result in the
passenger air bag inflating in a crash instead
of being OFF. (See ªChild restraintsº (P.1-27)
for proper use and installation.)
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, 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 being detected by the occupant
classification sensors. 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
automatically turned OFF with the seat occu-
pied. The light will not illuminate when the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
(indicating that the air bag is OFF) , it could be
that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting
on the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the passenger air bag status light may or maynot be illuminated, depending on the size of the
child and the type of child restraint being used. If
the 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
occupant is positioned properly. If the passen-
ger air bag status light is still not illuminated,
reposition the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
If the passenger air bag status light will not
illuminate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, the system may be sensing
an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF) . Your NISSAN dealer can check that the
system is OFF by using a special tool. However,
until you have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposition the
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System and
passenger air bag status light will take a few
seconds to register a change in the passenger
seat status. However, if the seat becomes
unoccupied, the air bag status light will remain
off.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
, located in the meter and gauges area
will blink. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
