Safety ? seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system -> Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for Your Nissan Juke SUV First Generation (2010-2019)

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT  
SYSTEM (SRS)  
The SRS is designed to supplement the accident  
protection provided by the driver’s and passenger’s  
seat belts and is not designed to substitute for them.  
The SRS can help save lives and reduce serious  
injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abra-  
sions or other injuries. Air bags do not provide  
protection to the lower body. Seat belts should always  
be correctly worn and the occupants should always be  
seated a suitable distance away from the steering  
wheel and instrument panel. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-7).)  
The air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the  
occupants. The force of the air bags inflating can  
increase the risk of injury if the occupants are too close  
to, or are against, the air bag modules during inflation.  
The air bags will deflate quickly after deployment.  
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RE-  
STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)  
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section  
contains important information concerning the driver’s  
and passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bags,  
supplemental side-impact air bags, supplemental  
curtain side-impact air bags and pre-tensioner seat  
belts.  
Supplemental front-impact air bag system  
This system can help cushion the impact force to the  
head and chest area of the driver and/or front  
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-  
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the  
front where the vehicle is impacted.  
The SRS operates only when the ignition switch

tional. (See “SRS air bag warning light” (P.1-28).)  
This system can help cushion the impact force to the  
chest and pelvis areas of the driver and front  
passenger in certain side-impact collisions. The  
supplemental side-impact air bag is designed to inflate  
on the side where the vehicle is impacted.  
Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag  
system (if equipped)  
This system can help cushion the impact force to the  
head of the driver and passengers in front and rear  
outboard seating positions in certain side-impact  
collisions. The supplemental curtain side-impact air  
bag is designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle  
is impacted.

.
Observe the following precautions for  
model with Advanced Air Bag System:  
a
— The front passenger air bag will not  
inflate if the passenger air bag status  
light is lit or if the front passenger seat  
is unoccupied.  
— The driver and front passenger seat belt  
buckles are equipped with sensors that  
detect if the seat belts are fastened. The  
advanced air bag system monitors the  
SSS0131A  
severity of  
a
collision and seat belt  
usage then inflates the air bags. Failure  
to properly wear seat belts can increase  
the risk or severity of injury in an  
accident.  
— The front passenger seat is equipped  
with occupant classification sensors  
(weight sensors) that turn the front  
passenger air bag OFF under some  
conditions. These sensors are only used  
in this seat. Failure to be properly  
seated and wearing the seat belt can  
increase the risk or severity of injury in  
an accident. (See Supplemental front-  
impact air bag system (Advanced Air  
Bag System) (for Korea)(P.1-30).)  
SSS0132A  
rained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or  
out of position in any way, you and your  
passengers are at greater risk of injury or  
death in an accident. You and your passen-  
gers may also receive serious or fatal  
injuries from the supplemental front-impact  
air bag if you are up against it when it  
inflates. Always sit back against the seat-  
back and as far away as practical from the  
steering wheel or instrument panel. Always  
use the seat belts.  
WARNING:  
.
.
The supplemental front-impact air bags  
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a  
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower  
severity frontal collision. Always wear the  
seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity  
of injury in accidents.  
The seat belts and the supplemental front-  
impact air bags are most effective when you  
are sitting well back and upright in the seat.

.
The supplemental side-impact air bags and  
supplemental curtain side-impact air bags  
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a  
front impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower  
severity side collision. Always wear the seat  
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of  
injury in accidents.  
Pre-tensioner seat belt system  
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate in  
conjunction with the supplemental air bag in certain  
types of collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor  
and anchor, it helps tighten the seat belt the instant the  
vehicle becomes involved in certain types of collisions,  
helping to restrain front seat occupants. (See “Pre-  
tensioner seat belt system” (P.1-35).)  
The seat belts and the supplemental side-  
impact air bags and supplemental curtain  
side-impact air bags are most effective when  
you are sitting well back and upright in the  
seat. The supplemental side-impact air bags  
and supplemental curtain side-impact air  
bags inflate with great force. If you and your  
passengers are unrestrained, leaning for-  
ward, sitting sideways, or out of position in  
any way, you and your passengers are at  
greater risk of injury or death in an accident.

material, such as seat covers, on the seat  
that is not specifically designed to assure  
proper air bag operation. Additionally, do  
not stow any objects under the front pas-  
senger seat or the seat cushion and seat-  
back. Such objects may interfere with the  
proper operation of the occupant classifica-  
tion sensors.  
Be sure that the front passenger seat does  
not contact the rear seat, instrument panel,  
etc.  
When the air bags inflate, 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 not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation and  
choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition  
should get fresh air promptly.  
.
.
Confirm the operating condition with the  
front passenger air bag status light.  
If you notice that the front passenger air bag  
status light is not operating in accordance  
with the above description, please take your  
vehicle to your NISSAN dealer to check the  
passenger seat advanced air bag system.  
Supplemental front-impact air bag system  
(except for Korea)  
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is  
located at the center of the steering wheel. The  
passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is  
located at the instrument panel above the glove box.  
.
The front passenger air bag is designed to  
automatically turn OFF under some condi-  
tions. Read this section carefully to learn  
how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat  
belt and child restraints is necessary for  
most effective protection. Failure to follow  
all instructions in this manual concerning  
the use of seats, seat belts and child  
restraints can increase the risk or severity  
of injury in an accident.  
.
.
Until you have confirmed with your dealer  
that your passenger seat advanced air bag is  
working properly, position the occupants in  
the rear seating positions.  
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is  
designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,  
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of  
collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal  
impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal collisions.  
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an  
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air  
bag system operation.  
Do not place objects with sharp edges on  
the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on  
the seat that will leave permanent impres-  
sions in the seat. Such objects can damage  
the seat or occupant classification sensors  
(weight sensors). This can affect the opera-  
tion of the air bag system and result in  
serious personal injury.  
If the air bag status light does not illuminate when a  
child is seated in the front passenger seat, or  
illuminates when an adult is seated in the front  
passenger seat, check to confirm that no loads are  
applied to the seat except for the weight of the seated  
passenger. If you have any questions about whether  
your passenger air bag is functioning as designed, your  
NISSAN dealer can confirm that it is working properly  
by using a special tool.  
Supplemental front-impact air bag system

.
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot  
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can  
damage the seat or occupant classification  
sensors. This can also affect the operation of  
the air bag system and result in serious  
personal injury.  
WARNING:  
To ensure proper operation of the passengers  
advanced air bag system, please observe the  
following items.  
This vehicle is equipped with Advanced Air Bag  
System for the driver and front passenger seats. The  
driver’ s supplemental front-impact air bag is located at  
the center of the steering wheel. The passenger’s  
supplemental front-impact air bag is located at the  
instrument panel above the glove box.

upright as far as practical away from the steering wheel  
or instrument panel. The supplemental front-impact 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 air bag  
module during inflation. The air bag will deflate quickly  
after a collision.  
.
Occupied passenger seat and the passenger  
meets the conditions outlined in this section: The  
light is OFF to indicate that the front  
passenger air bag is operational.  
Front passenger air bag:  
The front passenger air bag is designed to automati-  
cally turn OFF when the vehicle is operated under  
some conditions as described below. If the front  
passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate in a crash.  
The driver’s air bag and other air bags in your vehicle  
are not part of this system.  
The Advanced Air Bag System has dual stage air bag  
inflators. The system monitors information from the  
crash zone sensor, the diagnosis sensor unit, seat belt  
buckle sensors and the occupant classification sen-  
sors (weight sensors). Inflator operation is based on  
the severity of a collision and seat belt usage. For the  
front right passenger, the occupant classification  
sensors are also monitored. 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 front passenger’s air bag may be automatically  
turned OFF under some conditions, depending on the  
information provided by the occupant classification  
sensors. 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). One front air bag inflating does  
not indicate improper performance of the system. If you  
have any questions about the performance of your air  
bag system, please contact NISSAN or a NISSAN  
dealer.  
Front passenger air bag status light:  
The purpose of this system is to help reduce the risk of  
injury or death from an inflating air bag to certain front  
passenger seat occupants, such as children, by  
requiring the air bag to be automatically turned OFF.  
The occupant classification sensors (weight sensors)  
are on the seat cushion frame under the front  
passenger’s seat and are designed to detect an  
occupant and objects on the seat. For example, if a  
child is in the front passenger seat, the Advanced Air  
Bag System is designed to turn the passenger air bag  
OFF in accordance with the regulations. Also, if a child  
restraint is on the seat, the occupant classification  
sensors can detect it and cause the air bag to turn  
OFF.  
JVR0273X  
The front passenger air bag status light  
is located  
on the instrument panel. After the ignition switch is  
placed in the “ON” position, the front passenger air  
bag status light illuminates for about 7 seconds and  
then turns off or operates depending on the front  
passenger seat occupied status. The light operates as  
follows:  
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are  
properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in  
this manual should not cause the passenger’s air bag  
to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults, it may  
be turned OFF, however, if the occupant does not sit in  
the seat properly (for example, by not sitting upright, by  
sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being  
out of position), this could cause the sensors to turn  
the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and  
wearing the seat belt properly for the most effective  
protection by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.  
Supplemental front air bags, along with the use of seat  
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the head and  
chest of the front occupants. They can help save lives  
and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating front  
air bag may cause facial abrasions or other injuries.  
Front air bags do not provide restraint to the lower  
body.

seat belt is not being used properly. Make sure that the  
child restraint is installed properly, the seat belt is used  
properly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the  
air bag status light is still not illuminated, reposition the  
occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.  
Supplemental side-impact air bag system (if  
equipped)  
a
recommends that appropriate child restraints and  
booster seats be properly installed in a rear seat. If  
this is not possible, the occupant classification sensors  
are designed to operate as described above to turn the  
front passenger’s air bag OFF for specified child  
restraints. Failing to properly secure child restrains and  
to use the automatic locking mode (child restraint  
mode) may allow the restraint to tip or move in an  
accident or sudden stop. This can also result in the  
passenger’s air bag inflating in a crash instead of being  
OFF. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-12) for proper use  
and installation.)  
If the passenger air bag status light will not illuminate  
even though you believe that the child restraint, the  
seat belts and the occupant are properly positioned,  
the system may be sensing an unoccupied seat (in  
which case the air bag is OFF). Your NISSAN dealer  
can check that the system is OFF by using a special  
tool. However, until you have confirmed with your  
dealer that your air bag is working properly, reposition  
the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.  
SSS0978  
If the front passenger’s seat is not occupied, the  
passenger’s air bag is designed not to inflate in a  
crash. However, heavy objects placed on the seat  
could result in air bag inflation, because of the object  
being detected by the occupant classification sensors.  
Other conditions could also result in air bag inflation,  
such as if a child is standing on the seat, or if two  
children are on the seat, contrary to the instructions in  
this manual. Always be sure that you and all vehicle  
occupants are seated and restrained properly.  
The supplemental side-impact air bag is located at the  
outside of the front seats’ seatbacks.  
The Advanced Air Bag System and passenger air bag  
status light will take a few seconds to register a  
change in the passenger seat status. However, if the  
seat becomes unoccupied, the air bag status light will  
remain off.  
The supplemental side-impact air bag system is  
designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,  
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of  
collision are similar to those of a higher severity side  
impact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.  
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an  
indication of proper supplemental side-impact air bag  
system operation.  
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger’s air bag  
system, the supplemental air bag warning light  
located in the meter and gauges area will blink. Have  
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.  
Using the passenger air bag status light, you can  
monitor when the front passenger air bag is auto-  
matically turned OFF with the seat occupied. The light  
will not illuminate when the front passenger seat is  
unoccupied.  
Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag  
system (if equipped)  
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag is  
located at the roof rails.  
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the passenger air  
bag status light is illuminated (indicating that the air  
bag is OFF), it could be that the person is a small adult,  
or is not sitting on the seat properly.  
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag system is  
designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,  
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of  
collision are similar to those of a higher severity side  
impact. It 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 system operation.  
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat, the  
passenger air bag status light may or may not be  
illuminated, depending on the size of the child and the  
type of child restraint being used. If the air bag status

The pre-tensioner system may activate in conjunction  
with the supplemental air bag in certain types of  
collisions. 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.  
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT SYSTEM (if  
equipped)  
The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are designed  
to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,  
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged, the  
SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated after  
inflation has occurred. The repair and replacement of  
the SRS should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.  
WARNING:  
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat belt’s  
retractor and anchor. These seat belts are used the  
same as conventional seat belts.

The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be re-  
used after activation. It must be replaced  
together with the retractor and buckle as a  
unit.  
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, 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 not to inhale it, as it may cause  
irritation and choking. Those with  
breathing condition should get fresh air promptly.  
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,  
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat belts  
and related parts should be pointed out to the person  
performing the maintenance. The ignition switch  
should always be in the “LOCK” position when working  
under the hood or inside the vehicle.  
If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision  
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be  
sure to have the pre-tensioner system  
checked and, if necessary, replaced by a  
NISSAN dealer.
