WARNING
cAlways route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck. The
belt should be away from your face and
neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
cPosition the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in
an accident.cBe sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
cDo not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
cDo not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
cNever carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
cIf the seat belt warning light glows con-
tinuously while the ignition is turned
ON with all doors closed and all seat
belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
cOnce the pretensioner has activated, it
cannot be reused and must be replaced
together with the retractor. See your
NISSAN dealer.
cRemoval and installation of the preten-
sioner system components should be
done by a NISSAN dealer.cAll seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any collision
by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies in
use during a collision be replaced un-
less the collision was minor and the
belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly. Seat belt assemblies
not in use during a collision should also
be inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is noted.
cAll child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any col-
lision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations.
The child restraints should be replaced
if they are damaged.
CHILD SAFETY
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in this
manual, child safety information is available from
many other sources, including doctors, teachers,
government traffic safety offices, and community
organizations. Every child is different, so be sure
to learn the best way to transport your child.

8. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the seat belt
path and 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 in (25 mm) . If it does
move more than 1 in (25 mm) , pull again on
the shoulder belt to further tighten the child
restraint. If you are 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.
9. Check that the retractor is in the Automatic
Locking Retractor mode by trying to pull
more seat belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot pull any more belt webbing out of the
retractor, the retractor is in the Automatic
Locking Retractor mode.
10. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 8.11. If the child restraint is installed in the front
passenger seat, turn the ignition switch to
the ON position. The front passenger air bag
status light
should illuminate. If this
light is not illuminated see9Front passenger
air bag and status light9in this section.
Move the child restraint to another
seating position.Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the Automatic Locking Re-
tractor mode (child restraint mode) is canceled.

PRECAUTIONS ON
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) , front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bags and pretensioner 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.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental 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 supplemen-
tal side air bag is designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental 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 certainside impact or rollover collisions. In a side impact,
the curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover
both curtain air bags are designed to inflate and
remain inflated for a short time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed tosupplementthe crash protection pro-
vided by the seat belts and arenot a substitute
for them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and door finishers. See “Seat belts” earlier
in this section for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
After turning the ignition key 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.

all of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.
The driver supplemental front air bag is located in
the center of the steering wheel. The passenger
supplemental front air bag is mounted in the
dashboard above the glove box. The supplemen-
tal front air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they may in-
flate 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 supplemental front air bag
system operation.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has dual
stage inflators. It also monitors information from
the crash zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU) , seat belt buckle sensors, occupant clas-
sification sensor (pressure sensor) and right front
passenger seat belt tension sensor. Inflator op-
eration is based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the right front
passenger, it additionally monitors the weight of
an occupant or object on the seat and seat belt
tension. 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. Addition-
ally, the right front passenger air bag may beautomatically turned OFF under some conditions,
depending on the weight detected on the pas-
senger seat and how the seat belt is used. 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 “Front passenger air
bag and status light” later in this section 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, please contact NISSAN or your NISSAN
dealer. If you are considering modification of your
vehicle due to a disability, you may also contact
NISSAN. Contact information is contained in the
beginning of this Owner’s Manual.
When a supplemental front air bag inflates, a
fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by the
release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and
does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken to
not inhale it, as it may cause irritation and chok-
ing. Those with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental front air bags, along with the use of
seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the face and chest of the driver and right front
passenger. They can help save lives and reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating front airbag may cause facial abrasions 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 pas-
senger seated upright as far as practical away
from the steering wheel or instrument panel. The
supplemental 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 front air bag module
during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The supplemental front air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
After turning the ignition key 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.

occupant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over.
Thefront seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air bags will
remain inflated for a short time.
The front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supple-
mental air bags operate only when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON or START posi-
tions.
After turning the ignition key 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.WARNING
cDo not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front seats. Also, do not
place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front door finisher
and the front seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag
inflates.
cRight after inflation, several front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air
bag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the side
air bag and curtain air bag or damage to
the side air bag and curtain air bag
system.cDo not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or side panel. This
could affect proper operation of the
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system.
cTampering with the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. For example, do not change the
front seats by placing material near the
seatbacks or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers,
around the side air bag.
cWork around and on the roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation
of electrical equipment should also be
done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wir-
ing harnesses* should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the side air bag
or curtain air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.

appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Seat belts with pretensioners system
(Front seats)
WARNING
cThe seat belts with pretensioners can-
not be reused after activation. It must
be replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
c
If the vehicle becomes involved in a fron-
tal collision but the pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the preten-
sioner system checked and, if necessary,
replaced by your NISSAN dealer.
cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
seat belts with pretensioners system.
This is to prevent accidental activation of
the seat belts with pretensioners or dam-
age to the seat belts with pretensioners
operation. Tampering with the seat belts
with pretensioners system may result in
serious personal injury.
cWork around and on the pretensioner
system should be done by a NISSAN
dealer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by a NISSAN
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the seat belts with pre-
tensioners system.
cIf you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct pretensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The driver and right front passenger seat belts
include a pretensioner system that activates in
conjunction with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps
tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions, helping to
restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used the same as
conventional seat belts.
When the pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. 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.
After the pretensioners have activated, load lim-
iters allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the chest.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
will not come on, will flash intermit-
tently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on
after the ignition key has been turned to the ON or
START position. In this case, the pretensioner
may not function properly. They must be checked
and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
NISSAN dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the seat belts with preten-
sioners system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

When the ignition key is in the ON or START
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
supplemental front air bag, front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag, roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bag and pretensioner systems need servicing:
cThe supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air bag or pre-
tensioner systems may not operate properly. It
must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle
to the nearest NISSAN dealer.WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the supplemental
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
Repair and replacement procedure
The supplemental front air bags, front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bags,
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags and seat belts with preten-
sioner are designed to inflate on a one-time-only
basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the
supplemental air bag warning light remains illu-
minated after inflation has occurred. Repair and
replacement of these supplemental air bag sys-
tems should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.
