NISSAN XTERRA 2007 N50 / 2.G Manual PDF

cWork around and on the seat belts with
pretensioners should be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Installation of electrical
equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Unauthorized electrical
test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the seat belts
with pretensioners.
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 front seat belts with pretensioners activates
in conjunction with the front supplemental air bag
systems. Working with the seat belt retractor, it
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle be-
comes 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 maycause 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 pretensioners, the
supplemental air bag warning light
will not
come on, will flash intermittently 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 and guide the buyer to the appropriate
sections in this Owner’s Manual.1. SRS Air bag warning labels
The warning labels are located on the sur-
face of the sun visor.
2. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags warning label (if so
equipped)
The warning label is located on the side of
the passenger’s side center pillar.

tion.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag and seat belts with
pretensioners systems. The circuits monitored by
the supplemental air bag warning light are the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU) , crash zone sensor, sat-
ellite sensors, rollover sensor, front air bag mod-
ules, side air bag modules, curtain air bag mod-
ules, pretensioner and all related wiring.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 bags, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact, rollover supple-
mental air bag and pretensioner seat belt sys-
tems 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

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 bags, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag and/or seat belt
with pretensioners 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

inflation has occurred. Repair and replacement of
these supplemental air bag systems should be
done only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the supplemental front air bags, front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bags,
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person per-forming the maintenance. The ignition key should
always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
cOnce a supplemental front air bag, front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air
bag has inflated, the air bag module will
not function again and must be re-
placed. Additionally, if any of the
supplemental front air bags inflate, the
activated seat belts with pretensioners
must also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and seat belts with pretensioners
should be replaced by a NISSAN dealer.
The air bag module and seat belts with
pretensioners cannot be repaired.
cThe supplemental front air bag, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag systems, and
the seat belts with pretensioners
should be inspected by a NISSAN
dealer if there is any damage to the
front end or side portion of the vehicle.cIf you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag, seat belts with preten-
sioners or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct supplemental
air bag and seat belts with pretension-
ers disposal procedures are set forth in
the appropriate NISSAN Service

Distance to empty (dte—mile or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
