1999 NISSAN FRONTIER clock

turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF.
The ON/OFF switch should ONLY
be used
to turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF when the following government criteria
exists:
IInfants (less than 1 year old) in rear
facing child restraints MUST
be placed
in the front passenger seat.
IChildren ages 1-12 years MUST
be
placed in the front passenger seat.
I
The passenger has a medical condition
which, according to a physician, causes
the air bag to pose a special risk and
makes the potential harm from the air-
bag greater than the potential harm
from turning off the air bag.
Seat belts and child restraints should al-
ways be properly used. See ªPrecautions
on seat belt usageº and ªChild restraintsº
later in this section for details.
To turn the passenger supplemental air bag
OFF, insert the ignition key in the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch and
turn the switch clockwise to the OFF position.
Then remove the key. When the ignition is
turned to the ON or START position thepassenger air bag OFF indicator light will
illuminate to indicate the air bag is OFF. To
turn the passenger supplemental air bag ON,
insert the ignition key in the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch and
turn the switch counter clockwise to the ON
position. Then remove the key. When the
ignition is turned to the ON or START posi-
tion the passenger air bag OFF indicator light
will illuminate for 7 seconds to indicate the
system is working properly and then go out to
indicate that the passenger supplemental air
bag is ON.
When the switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the passenger supplemental air bag is
enabled and could inflate in a frontal colli-
sion. When the switch is turned to the OFF
position, the passenger supplemental air
bag is disabled and will not inflate in a
frontal collision. The passenger supplemen-
tal air bag OFF indicator light on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch is
turned to the OFF position. The driver's side
supplemental air bag always remains en-
abled and is not affected by the passenger
supplemental air bag ON/OFF switch.
The passenger supplemental air bag light,displaying OFF in the center of the instru-
ment panel, monitors the position of the
passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF
switch. When the ignition key is in the ON or
START position, the light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off if the air
bag is ON/OFF switch is in the ON position,
or stays on if the passenger supplemental
air bag ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
WARNING
IDo not switch the airbag OFF unless
you meet the federal government cri-
teria outlined previously. This ve-
hicle is equipped with seat belts with
a²load limiter²feature. The seat
belts are designed to work with the
air bags to reduce the risk of injury
in a collision. The seat belts are
designed to release additional belt
webbing during some collisions to
reduce the concentration of force on
the occupant's chest area. In a colli-
sion with the airbag turned OFF, the
seat belt may allow the occupant
enough forward movement to incur
serious or fatal injuries.
