No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the pre-tensioner seat belt system.
This is to prevent accidental activa-
tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat
belt operation. Tampering with the
pre-tensioner seat belt system may
result in serious personal injury.
Work around and on the preten-
sioner seat belt system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
Unauthorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should not
be used on the pretensioner seat belt
system.
If you need to dispose of the pre-
tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are
set forth in the appropriate NISSAN
Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal
injury.The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system
activates in conjunction with the supplemental
air bag systems. 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 occu-
pants.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used the same as
conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be
heard. The smoke is not harmful, but 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.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light
will not come on, will flash inter-
mittently 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 pre-
tensioner seat belt 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 pre-tensioner seat
belt system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

pre-tensioner seat belt may not operate properly.
They 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, supplemen-
tal side air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourselfor others, have your vehicle checked by
a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
Repair and replacement procedureThe supplemental front air bags, supplemental
side air bags, and pre-tensioner seat belt are
designed to activate on a one-time-only basis.
As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will remain illumi-
nated after inflation has occurred. Repair and
replacement of these systems should be done
only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side air
bags, related parts and pre-tensioner seat belt
should be pointed out to the person conducting
the maintenance. The ignition key should always
be in the LOCK position when working under the
hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
Once the supplemental front air bag
or side air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally, ifany of the supplemental front air
bags inflate, the activated preten-
sioner seat belt must also be re-
placed. The air bag module and pre-
tensioner seat belt system should be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The air
bag modules and pre-tensioner seat
belt system cannot be repaired.
The supplemental front air bag and
side air bag systems and pre-
tensioner seat belt system should be
inspected by a NISSAN dealer if there
is any damage to the front end or
side portion of the vehicle.
If you need to dispose of these
supplemental systems or scrap the
vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer.

warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer. Avoid high speed driving and abrupt
braking.
Anti-lock brake system warning light:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the anti-lock brake warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the anti-lock brake
system is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked by a NISSAN dealer. See
“Anti-lock brake warning light” earlier in this
section.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a
NISSAN dealer immediately.

you are driving:
•blinks rapidly (about twice a sec-
ond):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. The driving mode
will change to 2WD to prevent the
4WD system from malfunctioning.
If the warning light turns off, you
can drive again.
•blinks slowly (about once every 2
seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. Check that all tire
sizes are the same, tire pressure iscorrect and tires are not worn.
