쐌 Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident

you could be thrown into it and re-

ceive neck or other serious injuries.

You could also slide under the lap

belt and receive serious internal

injuries.

쐌 For most effective protection when

the vehicle is in motion, the seat

should be upright. Always sit well

back in the seat and adjust the seat

belt properly. See “Precautions on

seat belt usage” later in this section.

REAR SEAT ADJUSTMENT

Folding

1. Remove the rear seat cup holder from the

center console.

2. Secure the seat belt on the clip.

3. Remove the head restraints. (The removed

head restraints can be stored on the reclining

lock plate.)

4. Pull the strap forward and bring up the seat

cushion.

5. After removing the tonneau cover (if so

equipped) from each rear seatback, pull up

the knob and fold the seatback down.

6. When resetting the seat, be sure to install the

head restraints.

WARNING

쐌 Never allow anyone to ride in the

cargo area or on the rear seat when it

is in the fold-down position. Use of

these areas by passengers without

proper restraints could result in seri-

ous injury in an accident or sudden

stop.

쐌 It is extremely dangerous to ride in a

cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a

collision, people riding in these areas

are more likely to be seriously in-

jured or killed.

쐌 Do not allow people to ride in any

area of your vehicle that is not

equipped with seats and seat

belts. Be sure everyone in your ve-

hicle is in a seat and using a seat belt

properly.

쐌 Do not fold down the rear seats when

occupants are in the rear seat area or

any luggage is on the rear seat.

쐌 Head restraints should be adjusted

properly as they may provide signifi-

cant protection against injury in an

accident. Always replace and adjust

them properly if they have been re-

moved for any reason.

쐌 If the head restraints are removed for

any reason, they should be securely

stored to prevent them from causing

injury to passengers or damage to

or an accident.

쐌 Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

backs. In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause per-

sonal injury.

쐌 When returning the seatbacks to the

upright position, be certain they are

completely secured in the latched po-

sition. If they are not completely se-

cured, passengers may be injured in

an accident or sudden stop.

ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (front

seats)

WARNING

쐌 Always adjust the head restraints

properly as specified in the previous

section. Failure to do so can reduce

the effectiveness of the active head

restraint.

쐌 Active head restraints are designed

to supplement other safety systems.

Always wear seat belts. No system

can prevent all injuries in any acci-

dent.

쐌 Do not attach anything to the head

restraint stalks. Doing so could im-

pair active head restraint function.

The head restraint moves forward utilizing the

force that the seatback receives from the occu-

pant in a rear-end collision. The movement of the

head restraint helps support the occupant’s

head by reducing its backward movement and

helping absorb some of the forces that may lead

to whiplash type injuries.

Active head restraints are effective for collisions

at low to medium speeds in which it is said that

whiplash injury occurs most.

Active head restraints operate only in certain

rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head

restraints return to their original positions.

Properly adjust the active head restraints as

described in the previous section.

ARMREST

Pull the armrest forward and lay it horizontal.

The armrest see-through appears by pulling the

pocket forward.

Removing the armrest

You can remove the armrest when the armrest

and pocket are pulled down.

1. Remove the clip from the hinge.

2. Slide the armrest and pocket toward the clip

side.

3. Shift the armrest and pocket, sliding them to

the right side to remove from the pin.

CAUTION

Do not sit in the rear center seat posi-

tion when the armrest is removed.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE

If you are wearing your seat belt properly ad-

justed and you are sitting upright and well back

in your seat, your chances of being injured or

killed in an accident and/or the severity of injury

may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly en-

courages you and all of your passengers to

buckle up every time you drive, even if your

seating position includes a supplemental air bag.

Most states, provinces or territories re-

quire that seat belts be worn at all times

when a vehicle is being driven.

SEAT BELTS

1-10 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

WARNING

쐌 Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times. Children should be properly

restrained in the rear seat and, if

appropriate, in a child restraint.

쐌 The belt should be properly adjusted

to a snug fit. Failure to do so may

reduce the effectiveness of the entire

restraint system and increase the

chance or severity of injury in an

accident. Serious injury or death can

occur if the seat belt is not worn

properly.

쐌 Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your chest.

Never run the belt behind your back

under your arm or across your neck.

The belt should be away from your

face and neck, but not falling off your

shoulder.

쐌 Position the lap belt as low and snug

as possible around the hips, not the

waist. A lap belt worn too high could

increase the risk of internal injuries

in an accident.

쐌 Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-

curely fastened to the proper buckle.

쐌 Do not wear the belt inside out or

twisted. Doing so may reduce its ef-

fectiveness.

쐌 Do not allow more than one person

to use the same belt.

쐌 Never carry more people in the ve-

hicle than there are seat belts.

쐌 If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while the ignition is

turned ON with all doors closed and

all seat belts fastened, it may indi-

cate a malfunction in the system.

Have the system checked by your

NISSAN dealer.

쐌 Once the pre-tensioner seat belt has

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with the

SSS0134A

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

retractor. See your NISSAN dealer.

쐌 Removal and installation of the pre-

tensioner seat belt system compo-

nents should be done by a NISSAN

dealer.

쐌 All seat belt assemblies including re-

tractors and attaching hardware

should be inspected after any colli-

sion by your NISSAN dealer. NISSAN

recommends that all seat belt as-

semblies in use during a collision be

replaced unless the collision was mi-

nor and the belts show no damage

and continue to operate properly.

Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-

ing a collision should also be in-

spected and replaced if either dam-

age or improper operation is noted.

쐌 All child restraints and attaching

hardware should be inspected after

any collision. Always follow the re-

straint manufacturer’s inspection in-

structions and replacement recom-

mendations. The child restraints

should be replaced if they are dam-

aged.

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

CHILD SAFETY

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less

than 9 kg (20 lb) should be placed in rear facing

child restraints. Front facing child restraints are

available for children who outgrow rear facing

child restraints.

WARNING

Infants and children need special pro-

tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not

fit them properly. The shoulder belt may

come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones. In an accident, an improperly

fitting seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury. Always use appropriate

child restraints.

Provinces of Canada require the use of ap-

proved child restraints for infants and small

children. (See “Child restraints” later in this

section.)

In addition, there are many types of child re-

straints available for larger children which should

be used for maximum protection.

NISSAN recommends that all preteens and

children be restrained in the rear seat if

possible. According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly restrained

in the rear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (air bag system) for the front passen-

ger (see “Supplemental restraint system”

later in this section for precautions).

Infants and small children

NISSAN recommends that infants and small

children be placed in child restraints that comply

with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

You should choose a child restraint that fits your

vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

Larger children

Children who are too large for child restraint

systems should be seated and restrained by the

seat belts which are provided.

If the child’s seating position has a shoulder belt

that fits close to the face or neck, the use of a

booster seat (commercially available) may help

overcome this. The booster seat should raise the

child so that the shoulder belt is properly posi-

tioned across the top, middle portion of the

shoulder and the lap belt is low on the hips. The

booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and have

a label certifying that it complies with Canadian

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once the child

has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or

near the face and neck, use the shoulder belt

without the booster seat.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any

seat and do not allow a child in the

cargo areas while the vehicle is moving.

The child could be seriously injured or

killed in an accident or a sudden stop.

PREGNANT WOMEN

NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use

seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,

and always position the lap belt as low as

possible around the hips, not the waist. Place

the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across

your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder belt over

your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for

specific recommendations.

WARNING

쐌 Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times.

쐌 Do not ride in a moving vehicle when

the seatback is reclined. This can be

dangerous. The shoulder belt will not

be against your body. In an accident

you could be thrown into it and re-

ceive neck or other serious injuries.

You could also slide under the lap

belt and receive serious internal inju-

ries.

쐌 For most effective protection when

Fastening the seat belts

1. Adjust the seat. See “Seats” earlier in this

section.

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle until it

snaps. For additional information regarding

the rear center seat belt, see “Rear center

seat belt” later in this section.

The retractor is designed to lock during a

sudden stop or on impact. A slow pulling

motion will permit the belt to move, and

allow you some freedom of movement in

the seat.

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Make sure the

shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder

and across your chest.

The front passenger and rear seat belts have a

cinching mechanism for child restraint installa-

tion. It is referred to as the automatic locking

mode.

When the cinching mechanism is activated the

seat belt cannot be withdrawn again until the

seat belt tongue is detached from the buckle and

fully retracted. For additional information, see

“Child restraints” later in this section.

The automatic locking mode should be

used only for child restraint installation.

During normal seat belt use by a passen-

ger, the locking mode should not be acti-

vated. If it is activated it may cause uncom-

fortable seat belt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be cer-

tain that seatbacks are completely se-

cured in the latched position. If they are

not completely secured, passengers

may be injured in an accident or sudden

stop.

Unfastening the seat belts

To unfasten the belt, press the button on the

buckle. The seat belt will automatically retract.

Checking seat belt operation

Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock

belt movement using two separate methods:

쐌 when the belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

쐌 when the vehicle slows down rapidly.

You can check their operation as follows:

쐌 grasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly for-

ward. The retractor should lock and restrict

further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this check or

if you have any questions about belt operation,

see your NISSAN dealer.

Shoulder belt height adjustment (For

front seats)

The shoulder belt anchor height should be ad-

justed to the position best suited for you. (See

“Precautions on seat belt usage” earlier in this

section.) To lower, pull the release button, and

then move the shoulder belt anchor to the

desired position, so that the belt passes over the

shoulder. Release the adjustment button to lock

the shoulder belt anchor into position.

To raise, move the adjuster up to the desired

position while pulling the button.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

If, because of body size or driving position, it is

not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt

and fasten it, an extender is available. The ex-

tender adds approximately 200 mm (8 inches) of

length and may be used for either the driver or

front passenger seating position. See your

NISSAN dealer for assistance if the extender is

required.

WARNING

쐌 Only NISSAN belt extenders, made

by the same company which made

the original equipment belts, should

be used with NISSAN belts.

쐌 Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary use

could result in serious personal in-

jury in the event of an accident.

쐌 Never use seat belt extenders to in-

stall child restraints. If the child re-

straint is not secured properly, the

child could be seriously injured in a

collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

쐌 To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-

mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.

Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a cloth

and allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allow

the seat belts to retract until they are com-

pletely dry.

쐌 If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of

the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may

retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide

with a clean, dry cloth.

쐌 Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires

and anchors work properly. If loose parts,

deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

webbing is found, the entire belt assembly

should be replaced.

PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD

RESTRAINTS

WARNING

쐌 Infants and small children should al-

ways be placed in an appropriate

child restraint while riding in the ve-

hicle. Failure to use a child restraint

can result in serious injury or death.

쐌 Infants and small children should

never be carried on your lap. It is not

possible for even the strongest adult

to resist the forces of a severe acci-

dent. The child could be crushed be-

tween the adult and parts of the ve-

hicle. Also, do not put the same seat

belt around both your child and your-

self.

쐌 Never install a rear facing child re-

straint in the front seat. An inflating

supplemental air bag could seriously

injure or kill your child. A rear facing

child restraint must only be used in

the rear seat.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

1-18 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

쐌 NISSAN recommends that the child

restraint be installed in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, chil-

dren are safer when properly re-

strained in the rear seat than in the

front seat.

쐌 An improperly installed child re-

straint could lead to serious injury or

death in an accident.

In general, child restraints are designed to be

installed with the lap portion of a three-point type

seat belt. In addition, this vehicle is equipped

with a universal child restraint lower anchor

system, referred to as the LATCH (Lower An-

chors and Tethers for CHildren) system. Some

child restraints include two rigid or webbing-

mounted attachments that can be connected to

these lower anchors. For details, see “LATCH

(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYS-

TEM” later in this section.

Child restraints for infants and children of various

sizes are offered by several manufacturers.

When selecting any child restraint, keep the

following points in mind:

쐌 choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Canadian Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Federal Motor Ve-

hicle Safety Standard 213.

쐌 check the child restraint in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat

and seat belt system.

쐌 if the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint

and check the various adjustments to be sure

the child restraint is compatible with your

child. Always follow all recommended proce-

dures.

Canadian provinces and all US states re-

quire that infants and small children be

restrained in approved child restraints at

all times while the vehicle is being oper-

ated.

WARNING

쐌 Improper use of a child restraint can

result in increased injuries for both

the infant or child and other occu-

pants in the vehicle.

쐌 Follow all of the child restraint manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation

and use. When purchasing a child

restraint, be sure to select one which

will fit your child and vehicle. It may

not be possible to properly install

some types of child restraints in your

vehicle.

쐌 If the child restraint is not anchored

properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a collision or a sudden stop

greatly increases.

쐌 Adjustable seatbacks should be po-

sitioned to fit the child restraint, but

as upright as possible.

쐌 After attaching the child restraint,

test it before you place the child in it.

Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it

forward and check to see if the belt

holds the restraint in place. The child

restraint should not move more than

25 mm (1 inch). If the restraint is not

secure, tighten the belt as necessary,

or put the restraint in another seat

and test it again.

쐌 For a front facing child restraint,

check to make sure the shoulder belt

does not go in front of the child’s face

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

or neck. If it does, put the shoulder

belt behind the child restraint. If you

must install a front facing child re-

straint in the front seat, see instruc-

tions later in this section.

쐌 When your child restraint is not in

use, keep it secured with a seat belt

to prevent it from being thrown

around in case of a sudden stop or

accident.

CAUTION

Remember that a child restraint left in a

closed vehicle can become very hot.

Check the seating surface and buckles

before placing your child in the child

restraint.

INSTALLATION ON REAR SEAT

CENTER OR OUTBOARD

POSITIONS

WARNING

쐌 The three-point rear seat belts on

your vehicle are equipped with a

locking mode retractor which must

be used when installing a child re-

straint.

쐌 Failure to do so will result in the child

restraint not being properly secured.

It could tip over or otherwise be un-

secured and cause injury to the child

in a sudden stop or collision.

Front facing

When you install a child restraint in a rear

outboard or center seat, follow these steps:

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. It can

be placed in a front facing direction, depend-

ing on the size of the child. Adjust the head

restraint to its highest position or remove it if

LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND

TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)

SYSTEM

WARNING

쐌 Attach LATCH system compatible

child restraints only at the locations

shown. If a child restraint is not se-

cured properly, your child could be

seriously injured or killed in an

accident.

쐌 Do not secure a child restraint in the

center rear seating position using the

child restraint lower anchors. The

child restraint will not be secured

properly.

쐌 The LATCH system anchors are de-

signed to withstand only those loads

imposed by correctly fitted child re-

straints. Under no circumstance are

they to be used for adult seat belts or

harnesses.

Some child restraints include two rigid or

webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-

nected to two anchors located at certain seating

positions in your vehicle. This system is known

as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for

CHildren) system. This system may also be

referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible

system. With this system, you do not have to use

a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with LATCH system com-

patible child restraints. Check your child restraint

for a label stating that it is compatible with the

LATCH system. This information may also be in

the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have

such a child restraint, refer to the illustration for

SSS0329

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-25

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

the seating positions equipped with LATCH

system anchors which can be used to secure the

child restraint.

The LATCH system anchors are located at the

rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A

label is attached to the seatback to help you

locate the LATCH system anchors.

Some child restraints may also require the use of

a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child

restraint” later in this section for installation

instructions.

When installing a child restraint, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this manual and

those supplied with the child restraint.

When you install a LATCH system compatible

child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,

follow these steps.

WARNING

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting

your fingers into the lower anchor area

and feeling to make sure there are no

obstructions over the LATCH system an-

chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat

cushion material. If a seat belt buckle

hinders installation of the LATCH

system, remove the buckle from the

buckle fixing band of the seatback.

The child restraint will not be secured

properly if the LATCH system anchors

are obstructed.

1. To install the LATCH system compat-

ible child restraint, insert the child

restraint LATCH system anchor at-

tachments into the anchor points on

the rear. If the child restraint is

equipped with a top tether, see “Top

tether strap child restraint” later in

this section for installation instruc-

tions.

2. After attaching the child restraint and

before placing the child in it, use

force to tilt the child restraint from

side to side and tug it forward to

make sure that the child restraint is

securely held in place. It should not

move more than 25 mm (1 inch).

3. Check to make sure that the child

restraint is properly secured prior to

each use.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD

RESTRAINT

WARNING

쐌 The child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for adult

seat belts or harnesses.

SSS0322

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

쐌 After removing a rear seat head re-

straint for top tether installation,

store it securely to prevent it from

causing injury to passengers or dam-

age to the vehicle in case of sudden

braking or an accident. Always re-

place it and adjust properly when top

tether is no longer in use.

쐌 The top tether strap may be damaged

by contact with the tonneau cover (if

so equipped) or items in the cargo

area. Remove the tonneau cover from

the vehicle or secure it and any cargo.

Your child could be seriously injured

or killed in a collision if the top tether

strap is damaged.

If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it

must be secured to the anchor point provided

behind its position.

First, remove the head restraint from the seat-

back and adjust the seatback so that it is as

upright as possible. Then secure the child re-

straint with the rear seat belt or the LATCH

system (outboard positions), as applicable. Re-

move the anchor cover from the anchor point as

illustrated. Keep the removed cover in a secure

place to prevent loss or damage.

Remove the head restraint from the seatback.

Store it in a secure place. Position the top tether

strap over the top of the seatback and secure it

to the tether anchor bracket that provides the

straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap

according to the manufacturer’s instruction to

remove any slack.

For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint

installation instructions in this section and the

child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

INSTALLATION ON FRONT

PASSENGER SEAT

WARNING

쐌 Never install a rear facing child re-

straint in the front passenger seat.

Supplemental air bags inflate with

great force. A rear facing child re-

straint could be struck by the supple-

mental air bag in a crash and could

seriously injure or kill your child.

쐌 NISSAN recommends that child re-

straints be installed in the rear seat.

However, if you must install a front

facing child restraint in the front pas-

senger seat, move the passenger

seat to the rearmost position.

쐌 A child restraint with a top tether

strap should not be used in the front

passenger seat.

쐌 The three-point belt in your vehicle is

equipped with a locking mode retrac-

tor which must be used when install-

ing a child restraint.

쐌 Failure to use the retractor’s locking

mode will result in the child restraint

not being properly secured. The child

restraint could tip over or otherwise

be unsecured and cause injury to the

child in a sudden stop or collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) sec-

tion contains important information concerning

the driver and passenger front impact supple-

mental air bags, front seat side-impact supple-

mental air bags and front seat pre-tensioner seat

belts.

Supplemental front impact air bag system:

This system can help cushion the impact force to

the face and chest of the driver and front

passenger in certain frontal collisions.

Supplemental side-impact air bag system

(if so equipped): This system can help cushion

the impact force to the chest area of the driver

and front passenger in certain side impact colli-

sions. The front seat side-impact supplemental

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

provided by the driver and passenger seat belts

and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts

should always be correctly worn and the occu-

pant seated a suitable distance away from the

steering wheel, instrument panel, door finishers.

(See “Seat belts” earlier in this section for

instructions and precautions on seat belt usage.)

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 systems are operational.

WARNING

쐌 The supplemental front air bags ordi-

narily will not inflate in the event of a

side impact, rear impact, roll over, or

lower severity frontal collision. Al-

ways wear your seat belts to help

reduce the risk or severity of injury in

various kinds of accidents.

쐌 The seat belts and the supplemental

front air bags are most effective

when you are sitting well back and

upright in the seat. Front air bags

inflate with great force. If you are

unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting

sideways 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 supplemental 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.

쐌 Keep hands on the outside of the

steering wheel. Placing them inside

the steering wheel rim could increase

the risk that they are injured when

the supplemental front air bag in-

flates.

Supplemental front air bag system

The driver supplemental air bag is located in the

center of the steering wheel; the front passenger

supplemental air bag is mounted in the instru-

ment panel above the glove box. These systems

are designed to meet certification requirements

under Canadian regulations. All of the infor-

mation, cautions and warnings in this

manual still apply and must be followed.

The supplemental front air bags are designed to

inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, al-

though they may inflate if the forces in another

type of collision are similar to those of a higher

severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in

certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack

of it) is not always an indication of proper

supplemental air bag operation.

When the supplemental front 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 front air bags, along with the use

of seat belts, helps to cushion the impact force

on the face 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.

The seat belts should be correctly worn and the

driver and passenger seated upright as far as

practical away from the steering wheel or instru-

ment panel. The supplemental front 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 the collision is over.

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

쐌 Do not place any objects on the

steering wheel pad or on the instru-

ment panel. Also, do not place any

objects between any occupant and

the steering wheel or instrument

panel. Such objects may become

dangerous projectiles and cause in-

jury if the supplemental front air bag

inflates.

쐌 Right after inflation, several air bag

system components will be hot. Do

not touch them; you may severely

burn yourself.

쐌 No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the supplemental front air bag sys-

tem. This is to prevent accidental in-

flation of the air bag or damage to

the air bag system.

쐌 Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicle’s electrical system,

suspension system or front end

structure. This could affect proper

operation of the supplemental air

bag system.

쐌 Tampering with the supplemental

front air bag system may result in

serious personal injury. Tampering

includes changes to the steering

wheel and the instrument panel as-

sembly by placing material over the

steering wheel pad, above the dash-

material around the air bag system.

쐌 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.

쐌 A cracked windshield should be re-

placed immediately by a qualified re-

pair facility. A cracked windshield

could affect inflation of the supple-

mental air bag system.

쐌 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. Vehicle

damage (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.

After turning the ignition key to the ON

WARNING

쐌 Do not place any objects near the

seatback of the front seats. Also, do

not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door fin-

isher and the front seat. Such objects

may become dangerous projectiles

and cause injury if the side air bag

inflates.

쐌 Right after inflation, several side air

bag system components will be hot.

Do not touch them; you may severely

necessary, replaced by your NISSAN

dealer.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-39

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

쐌 No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of

the pre-tensioner seat belt system.

This is to prevent accidental activa-

tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or

damage to the pre-tensioner seat

belt operation. Tampering with the

pre-tensioner seat belt system may

result in serious personal injury.

쐌 Work around and on the preten-

sioner seat belt system should be

done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa-

tion of electrical equipment should

also be done by a NISSAN dealer.

Unauthorized electrical test equip-

ment and probing devices should not

be used on the pretensioner seat belt

system.

쐌 If you need to dispose of the pre-

tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con-

tact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre-

tensioner disposal procedures are

set forth in the appropriate NISSAN

Service Manual. Incorrect disposal

procedures could cause personal

injury.

The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system

activates in conjunction with the supplemental

front air bag. Working with the seat belt retrac-

tor, it helps tighten the seat belt the instant the

vehicle becomes involved in certain types of

collisions, helping to restrain front seat occu-

pants.

The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s

retractor. These seat belts are used the same as

conventional seat belts.

When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates,

smoke is released and a loud noise may be

heard. The smoke is not harmful, but 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.

If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner

seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn-

ing light

will not come on, will flash inter-

mittently 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 pre-

tensioner seat belt 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

will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is

operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the

supplemental front air bag, supplemental side air

bag system, and pre-tensioner seat belt need

servicing:

쐌 The supplemental air bag warning light re-

mains on after approximately 7 seconds.

쐌 The supplemental air bag warning light

flashes intermittently.

쐌 The supplemental air bag warning light does

not come on at all.

Under these conditions, the supplemental front

air bags, supplemental side air bags, and/or

pre-tensioner seat belt may not operate properly.

They must be checked and repaired. Take your

vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

If the supplemental air bag warning

light is on, it could mean that the

supplemental front air bag, supplemen-

tal side air bag systems and/or pre-

tensioner seat belt 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, supplemental

side air bags, and pre-tensioner seat belt are

designed to activate on a one-time-only basis.

As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supple-

mental air bag warning light will remain illumi-

nated after inflation has occurred. Repair and

replacement of these systems should be done

only by a NISSAN dealer.

When maintenance work is required on the

vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side air

bags, related parts and pre-tensioner seat belt

should be pointed out to the person conducting

the maintenance. The ignition key should always

be in the LOCK position when working under the

hood or inside the vehicle.

WARNING

쐌 Once the supplemental front air bag

or side air bag has inflated, the air

bag module will not function again

and must be replaced. Additionally, if

any of the supplemental front air

bags inflate, the activated preten-

sioner seat belt must also be re-

placed. The air bag module and pre-

tensioner seat belt system should be

replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The air

bag modules and pre-tensioner seat

belt system cannot be repaired.

쐌 The supplemental front air bag and

side air bag systems and pre-

tensioner seat belt system should be

inspected by a NISSAN dealer if there

is any damage to the front end or

side portion of the vehicle.

쐌 If you need to dispose of these

supplemental systems or scrap the

vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer.

Correct disposal procedures are set

forth in the appropriate NISSAN Ser-

vice Manual. Incorrect disposal pro-

cedures could cause personal injury.
