curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner(s) should be re-
placed. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

tion of the vehicle may seriously dam-
age the engine. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “If your vehicle overheats”
