WARNING
Supplemental side air bag:

The supplemental side air bag ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
frontal impact, rear impact, rollover
or lower severity side collision. Al-
ways wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the supplemental
side air bag are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright
in the seat. The side air bag inflates
with great force. Do not allow anyone
to place their hand, leg or face near
the side air bag on the side of the
seatback of the front seat or near the
side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seat or rear out-
board seats to extend their hand out
of the window or lean against thedoor. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the pre-
vious illustrations.

When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the supplemental side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously in-
jured. Be especially careful with chil-
dren, who should always be properly
restrained.

board, or by installing additional trim
material around the air bag system.

Work around and on the supplemen-
tal front air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-
tion of electrical equipment should
also be done by a NISSAN dealer.
The yellow and orange Supplemental
Restrain System (SRS) wiring and
connectors should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing de
vices should not be used on the air
bag system.

A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect the function of the
supplemental air bag system.

The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy iden-
tification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Supplemental side air bag system (if
so equipped)The supplemental side air bags are located in
the outside of the seatback of the front seats.All
of the information, cautions and warnings
in this manual still apply and must be
followed.The supplemental side air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity side colli-
sions on the side where the vehicle is impacted,
although they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity side impact. They are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions. Vehicledamage (or lack of it) is not always an indication
of proper supplemental side air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag inflates, a
fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by
release of smoke. 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.
Supplemental side air bags, along with the use
of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the head and the chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating side air bag may
cause abrasions or other injuries. Supplemental
side air bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags inflate quickly in order to
help protect the front occupants. Because of
this, the force of the side air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. The side air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over.

damaged.Luggage can be carried on the roof by securing
crossbars to the roof rails. Follow all crossbar
manufacturers instructions for installing and use
of the crossbars. The roof rails are designed to
carry loads (luggage plus crossbars) below 100
kg (221 lb). Overloading may cause damage to
the vehicle.
CAUTION

Do not put or hang anything on or
around side pipes or plastic covers.

Do not remove plastic covers except
at the crossbar fixing points
