WARNING
cDo 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 receive
neck or other serious injuries. You
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries.cFor the 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 properly. See
“Precautions on Seat Belt Usage” later
in this section.

PASSENGER SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG ON/OFF SWITCH AND LIGHT
(except Crew Cab models)
WARNING
Air bags and seat belts are designed to
work as a unit. Do not switch the air bag
OFF unless you meet federal government
criteria. Switching off the air bag may in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injuries
in a collision where the air bag would have
inflated.
In rare instances, some passengers are exposed
to serious injury risks from inflating air bags, es-
pecially if not properly restrained. The U.S. and
Canadian federal governments recognize other
limited circumstances in which an air bag could
reduce safety. The passenger air bag ON/OFF
switch is, therefore, allowed in models without full
rear seats. Because the overall benefits of air
bags are great, in most situations air bags should
not be switched off unless special government
criteria exist.
The passenger air bag ON/OFF switch is located
under the climate controls. It can be used to 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:
cInfants (less than 1 year old) in rear facing
child restraints MUST be placed in the front
passenger seat.
cChildren ages 1-12 years MUST be placed
in the front passenger seat.
cThe 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 always be
properly used. See “Precautions on seat belt
usage” and “Child restraints” later in this section
for details.
To turn the passenger supplemental air bag OFF,
insert the ignition key in the passenger supple-
mental air bag ON/OFF switch and turn the
switch clockwise to the OFF position. Then re-
move the key. When the ignition is turned to the
ON or START position the passenger air bag
OFF indicator light will illuminate to indicate the
air bag is OFF. To turn the passenger supplemen-
tal air bag ON, insert the ignition key in the
passenger supplemental air bag ON/OFF switchand turn the switch counter clockwise to the ON
position. Then remove the key. When the ignition
is turned to the ON or START position the pas-
senger 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.
1. Do not operate the passenger supplemental
air bag ON/OFF switch when the ignition is
ON.
2. Fully turn the passenger supplemental air
bag ON/OFF switch to either the ON or OFF
position.
3. Always remove the ignition key after using
the passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch.
4. The passenger air bag OFF indicator light
should illuminate for 7 seconds after the
ignition is turned to the ON or START posi-
tion. If not, the vehicle should be taken to a
NISSAN dealer.
Items 2 and 3 above are intended to prevent
improper use of the ignition key.
When the switch is turned to the ON position, the
passenger supplemental air bag is enabled and
could inflate in a frontal collision. When the
switch is turned to the OFF position, the passen-
ger supplemental air bag is disabled and will not
