1-58Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
front passenger air bag status light is
illuminated (indicating that the front pas-
senger air bag and front passenger knee
air bag are 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 front passenger air bag
status light may or may not be illumi-
nated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used.
If the front 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 occu-
pant is positioned properly. If the front
passenger air bag status light is not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or
child restraint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light
will not illuminate even though you be-
lieve that the child restraint, the seat belts
and the occupant are properly positioned,
it is recommended that you take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer. A NISSAN
dealer can check the system status by
using a special tool. However, until you
have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposi-tion the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
and front passenger air bag status light
will take a few seconds to register a
change in the passenger seat status. This
is normal system operation and does not
indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front
passenger air bag system, the supple-
mental air bag warning light
, located
in the meters and gauges area, will
illuminated (blinking or steadily lit). Have
the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Normal operation:
In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front pas-
senger based on weight, please follow the
precautions and steps outlined below:
Precautions:
. Make sure that there are no objects
weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg) hanging on
the seat or placed in the seatback
pocket.
. Make sure that a child restraint or
other object is not pressing against
the rear of the seatback.
. Make sure that a rear passenger is not
pushing or pulling on the back of the
front passenger seat. .
Make sure that the front passenger
seat or seatback is not forced back
against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
. Make sure that there is no object
placed under the front passenger
seat.
. Make sure that the front passenger
seat head restraint does not contact
the roof when adjusting the front
passenger seat.
Steps:
1. Adjust the seat as outlined. (See “Seats” (P.1-3).) Sit upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet
comfortably extended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-13).) Front passenger
seat belt buckle status is monitored
by the occupant classification system,
and is used as an input to determine
occupancy status. So, it is highly
recommended that the front passen-
ger fasten their seat belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classify the
front passenger before the vehicle is
put into motion.

1-60Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.The front passenger seat head re-
straint contacting the roof.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions.
Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed dur-
ing which the front passenger air bag
status light will remain lit for about 7
seconds initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be
repositioned in the rear seat and it is
recommended that the vehicle should be
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
3. If the light is OFF with no front passenger and no objects on the front passenger
seat, the vehicle should be checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Other supplemental front-impact
air bag precautions
WARNING
.Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the
instrument panel. Also, do not place any objects between any
occupant and the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the front
air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat
that will leave permanent impres-
sions in the seat. Such objects
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors (weight
sensors). This can affect the op-
eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents 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 supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supple-
mental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the front air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-

ment and probing devices should
not be used on the knee air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors
are yellow or orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this manual.

FRONT, REAR OUTBOARD AND
FRONT CENTRAL* SEAT-MOUNTED
SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG AND ROOF-MOUNTED CUR-
TAIN SIDE-IMPACT AND ROLLOVER
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
*: if so equipped
The side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front and
rear seats. The front central side air bag (if
so equipped) is located in the inside of the
seatback of the driver’s seat. 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 followed.
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. Front central
side air bag, along with the use of seat
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-63

1-64Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
belts, helps to cushion the impact force
on the head area of the front occupants.
Curtain air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head and chest area
of occupants in the front and rear out-
board seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating side air bag or
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
bags will deflate quickly after the collision
is over. The front central side air bag and
curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch isin 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
finisher, the center console, 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-

LUGGAGE HOOKS
To use the hook, pull it down as illu-
strated.
WARNING
.Always make sure that the cargo
is properly secured. Use the sui-
table ropes and hooks.
. Unsecured cargo can become
dangerous in an accident or sud-
den stop.
. Do not apply a total load of more
than 22 lb (10 kg) to a single hook.
JVI0889X
Do not apply any load directly to the roof
side rails. Cross bars must be installed
before applying load/cargo/luggage to
the roof of the vehicle. Genuine NISSAN
accessory cross bars are available
through a NISSAN dealer. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
additional information.
The service load capacity for the roof side
rails is 163 lb (74 kg), however do not
exceed the accessory cross bars load
capacity.
Be careful that your vehicle does not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)

GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.
M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For additional infor-
mation regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” (P.10-13).
WARNING
.Always install the cross bars onto
the roof side rails before loading
cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or
the vehicle’s roof may cause ve-
hicle damage.
. Drive extra carefully when the
vehicle is loaded at or near the
cargo carrying capacity, espe-
cially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the cross
bars.
. Heavy loading of the cross bars
has the potential to affect the
vehicle stability and handling
during sudden or unusual hand-
ling maneuvers.
. Roof rack cross bars should be
evenly distributed.
. Do not exceed maximum roof
rack cross bars load. .
Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal in-
jury.CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing
items from the roof rack. If you
cannot comfortably lift the items
onto the roof rack from the ground,
use a ladder or a stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
.Make sure that all passengers
have their hands, etc. inside the
vehicle while it is in motion and
before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to pre-
vent unexpected use of the
power windows.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
