PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-

tion contains important information concerning

the following systems.

If the seating position does not have an adjust-

able head restraint/headrest and it is interfer-

ing with the proper booster seat fit, try another

seating position or a different booster seat.

4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low

and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to follow

the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions

for adjusting the seat belt routing.

• Driver and passenger supplemental front-

impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag

System)

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt

toward the retractor to take up extra slack. Be

sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the

top, middle portion of the child’s shoulder. Be

sure to follow the booster seat manufacturer’s

instructions for adjusting the seat belt routing.

may or may not illuminate

depending on the size of the child and the

type of booster seat used. See “Front passen-

ger air bag and status light” in this section.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag system: This system can help

cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvic

area of the driver and front passenger in certain

side impact collisions. The side air bag is de-

signed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is

impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-

mental air bag system: This system can help

cushion the impact force to the head of occu-

pants in front and rear outboard seating positions

in certain side impact collisions. In a side impact,

the curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the

side where the vehicle is impacted.

These supplemental restraint systems are de-

signed to supplement the crash protection pro-

vided by the driver and passenger seat belts and

are not a substitute for them. Seat belts should

always be correctly worn, and the occupant

should be seated a suitable distance away from

the steering wheel, instrument panel and door

finishers. See “Seat belts” in this section for

instructions and precautions on seat belt usage.

The supplemental air bags operate only

when the power switch is in the ON posi-

tion.

After the power switch is placed in 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 systems are operational.

•

The driver and front passenger seat

belt buckles are equipped with sen-

sors that detect if the seat belts are

fastened. The Advanced Air Bag Sys-

tem monitors the severity of a collision

and seat belt usage then inflates the

air bags as needed. 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. This sensor is 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 acci-

dent. See “Front passenger air bag

and status light” in this section.

WARNING

•

The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact,

rear impact, rollover or lower severity

frontal collision. Always wear your

seat belts to help reduce the risk or

severity of injury in various kinds of

accidents.

•

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. See “Front passenger

air bag and status light”in this section.

The seat belts and the front air bags are

most effective when you are sitting well

back and upright in the seat with both

feet on the floor. The front air bags inflate

with great force. Even with the NISSAN

Advanced Air Bag System, if you are un-

restrained, leaning forward, sitting side-

ways or out of position in any way, you

are at greater risk of injury or death in a

crash. You may also receive serious or

fatal injuries from the front air bag if you

are up against it when it inflates. Always

sit back against the seatback and as far

away as practical from the steering wheel

or instrument panel. Always use the seat

belts.

•

Keep hands on the outside of the

steering wheel. Placing them inside

the steering wheel rim could increase

the risk that they are injured if the front

air bag inflates.

WARNING

•

Never let children ride unrestrained or

extend their hands or face out of the

window. Do not attempt to hold them

in your lap or arms. Some examples of

dangerous riding positions are shown

in the illustrations.

Children may be severely injured or

killed when the front air bags, side air

bags or curtain air bags inflate if they

are not properly restrained. Pre-teens

and children should be properly re-

strained in the rear seat, if possible.

Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air

Bag System, never install a rear-facing

child restraint on the front seat. An

inflating front air bag could seriously

injure or kill your child. See “Child re-

straints” in this section for details.

Do not lean against doors or windows.

WARNING

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bags and roof-mounted cur-

tain side-impact supplemental air bags:

•

The side air bags and curtain air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of

a frontal impact, rear impact, rollover

or lower severity side collision. Always

wear your seat belts to help reduce the

risk or severity of injury in various

kinds of accidents.

1-40 Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•

The seat belts, the side air bags and

curtain air bags are most effective

when you are sitting well back and

upright in the seat. The side air bag

and curtain air bag inflate 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

seats or rear outboard seats 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.

•

When sitting in the rear seat, do not

hold onto the seatback of the front

seat. If the side air bag inflates, you

may be seriously injured. Be especially

careful with children, who should al-

ways be properly restrained. Some ex-

amples of dangerous riding positions

are shown in the illustrations.

Do not use seat covers on the front

seatbacks. They may interfere with

side air bag inflation.
