WARNING
Supplemental curtain side impact air bag:
cThe supplemental curtain side-impact
air bag ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a frontal impact, rear impact,
rollover or lower severity side collision.
Always wear your seat belt to help re-
duce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
WARNING
cThe seat belts and the supplemental
curtain side-impact air bags are most
effective when you are sitting well back
and upright in the seat. The curtain
side-impact air bag inflates with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side roof
rails or to extend their hand out of the
window or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustrations.

cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the supplemental air bag system. This is
to prevent accidental inflation of the
supplemental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
cDo not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or front end structure.
This could affect proper operation of
the supplemental front air bag system.
cTampering with the supplemental front
air bag system may result in serious
personal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel and the
instrument panel assembly by placing
material over the steering wheel pad
and above the instrument panel or by
installing additional trim material
around the air bag system.cWork on and around the supplemental
front air bag system should be done by
a NISSAN dealer. Installation of electri-
cal equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring should not
be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
the air bag system.
cA cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-
pair facility. A cracked windshield could
affect inflation of the supplemental air
bag system.
cThe SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system (if so equipped)
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
are located in the roof side rails. This system is
designed to meet voluntary guidelines to help
reduce the risk of injury to out-of-position occu-
pants.However, all of the information, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual still ap-
ply and must be followed.The curtain side-
impact air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity side collisions, 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.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental curtain side-
impact air bag operation.
When the supplemental curtain side-impact air
bags inflate, 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 curtain side-impact air bags help
to cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in the front and rear outboard seating po-
sitions. They can help save lives and reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating curtain
side-impact air bag may cause abrasions or other
injuries. Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower body.
Rear seat passengers should be seated as far
away as practical from the door finishers and side
roof rails. The curtain side-impact air bag inflate
quickly in order to help protect the occupants.
Because of this, the force of the curtain side-
impact 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 cur-
tain side-impact air bag will deflate quickly after
the collision is over.
The supplemental curtain side-impact 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.
WARNING
cRight after inflation, several curtain
side-impact air bag system compo-
nents 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 curtain side-impact air bag system.
This is to prevent accidental inflation of
the curtain side-impact air bag or dam-
age to the curtain side-impact 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
supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system.
cWork around and on the curtain side-
impact air bag system should be done
by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec-
trical equipment should also be done by
a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or dis-
connected. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the side air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the supplemental side air
bag and curtain side-impact air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner’s Manual.
