ECU NISSAN TITAN 2006 1.G Owner's Manual

cNISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a forward
facing child restraint in the front center
bench seat, follow these instructions
carefully.
cA child restraint with a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passen-
ger seat.
If you must install a child restraint in the front
center bench seat, follow these steps:
s1Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger bench seat as illustrated.It should
be placed in a front-facing direction
only. Move the seat to the rearmost
position.Adjust the head restraint to its
highest position. Always follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seat back. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint fit.
See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in
this section. If the head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing.s3Remove all slack in the lap belt for a very tight
fit by pulling forcefully on the lap belt adjust-
ment.s4Before placing the child in the child restraint,
use force to push the child restraint from
side to side, and tug it forward to make sure
that it is securely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25 mm) . If it does
move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , pull again
on the shoulder belt to further tighten the
child restraint. If unable to properly secure
the restraint move the restraint to another
seating position and try again , or try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.

5. If it is not secure, try to tighten the belt again,
or put the restraint in another seat.
6. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER
SEATS
WARNING
cInfants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate child
restraint while riding in the vehicle.
Failure to use a child restraint or
booster seat can result in serious injury
or death.
cInfants and small children should never
be carried on your lap. It is not possible
for even the strongest adult to resist the
forces of a severe accident. The child
could be crushed between the adult and
parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the
same seat belt around both your child
and yourself.
cNISSAN recommends that the booster
seat be installed in the rear seat. Ac-
cording to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.cA booster seat must only be installed in
a seating position that has a
lap/shoulder belt. One can not be used
in the front center seat of a vehicle with
a front bench seat. Failure to use a
three-point type seat belt with a
booster seat can result in a serious in-
jury in a sudden stop or collision.
cAn improperly installed booster seat
could lead to serious injury or death in
an accident.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
WARNING
cImproper use of a booster seat can in-
crease the risk or severity of injury for
both the child and other occupants of
the vehicle.
cFollow all of the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a booster seat,
be sure to select one which will fit your
child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of
booster seats in your vehicle.
cIf the booster seat and seat belt is not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
cAdjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the booster seat, but as
upright as possible.cAfter placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt, make
sure the shoulder portion of the belt is
away from the child’s face and neck and
the lap portion of the belt does not
cross the abdomen.
cDo not put the shoulder belt behind the
child or under the child’s arm. If you
must install a booster seat in the front
seat, see “Booster seat installation on
front passenger seat” later in this
section.
cWhen your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in
case of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the booster
seat.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-
tion contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger supplemental front air
bags (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System) ,
supplemental side air bags, curtain side-impact
and rollover air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts.
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 right front, passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Supplemental side-impact air bag system
(if so equipped):This system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest area of the driver
and right front, passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The supplemental side air bag is de-
signed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact and roll-
over air bag system (if so equipped):This
system can help cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side impact or rollover
collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the

Right 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 takes his/her weight off
the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting up-
right, 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 right front 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 pro-
tection 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 sensor and seat belt sensors are
designed to operate as described above to turn
the front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints 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
accident or sudden stop. This can also result in
the passenger air bag inflating in a crash insteadof being OFF. See “Child restraints” earlier in this
section for proper use and installation.
If the right 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’s weight detected by the occupant
classification 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 with the seat occupied.
The light will not illuminate when the right front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
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, or is not sitting on the seat
properly or not using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the passenger air bag status light may or may not
be illuminated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used. If the
status light is not lit (indicating that the air bag
might inflate in a crash) , it could be that the childrestraint or seat belt is not being used properly. In
rare cases, the passenger air bag status light will
not illuminate even though the air bag is OFF.
If such situations happen, properly position and
restrain the occupant or child restraint. Other-
wise reposition the occupant or child restraint in
a rear seat. If you have any questions about
whether your passenger air bag is working as
designed, your dealer can use a special tool to
confirm that it is working properly.
The air bag system and passenger air bag status
light will take a few seconds to register a change
in the passenger seat status. For example, if a
large adult who is sitting in the front passenger
seat exits the vehicle, the passenger air bag
status light will go from OFF to ON for a few
seconds and then to OFF. This is normal system
operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, 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.
