WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steer- ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the front air

∙ Immediately af ter inflation, several front air bag system 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 supplemental air bag system. This
is to prevent accidental inflation of
the supplemental air bag or damage

to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or front end struc-
ture. This could affect proper opera-
tion of the front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag sys- tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. Tampering includes changes to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by in-
stalling additional trim material
around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modif ying the front pas- senger seat may affect the function of

monitors the circuits for the air bag sys-
tems, pretensioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. This means the system is
operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the

onds.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.

side air bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner
systems may not operate properly. They
must be checked and repaired. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.WARNING

light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. NOTE:

bag deployment (side, front or both), the
vehicle’s hazard lamps (turn indicators)
will turn ON automatically.
Repair and replacement

minder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light remains illu-
minated af ter inflation has occurred. These

placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
