monitored by the SRS air bag warning light are: all
sensors, air bag modules and all related wiring, and
the pre-tensioner seat belt.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-
tem is operational.
If any of the following conditions occurs, the front air
bag, side and curtain air bag systems (where fitted)
and pre-tensioner seat belt need servicing and
should be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop:
•The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately 7 seconds.
•The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
•The SRS air bag warning light does not come on
at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bags, side and
curtain air bags (where fitted) and/or pre-tensioner
seat belt will not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags (where fitted), cur-
tain air bags (where fitted) and pre-tensioner seat
belt are designed to activate on a one-time-only ba-
sis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after inflationhas occurred. Repair and replacement of the air bag
system should be done only by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
the air bag systems, related parts and pre-tensioner
seat belt should be pointed out to the person con-
ducting the maintenance. The ignition switch should
always be in the LOCK position when working un-
der the bonnet or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
•Once the air bag has inflated or the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt has been activated, the air
bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt will
not function again and must be replaced. The
air bag module should be replaced by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. The air
bag module cannot be repaired.
•All air bag systems should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop if there
is any damage to the front end portion of the
vehicle.

Radio data system (RDS) operation
The RDS is a system through which encoded digital
information is transmitted in addition to the normal
FM-broadcasting radio station. The RDS provides
information services such as station’s name, traffic
information, regional news or search for a station
with a certain broadcasting programme type.
NOTE
In some countries or regions, some of these ser-
vices are not available.
Alternative Frequency (AF)
•The AF function operates in the FM (radio) and
CD Mode (if FM was formerly selected in the
radio mode).
•When the AF mode has been set to the ON posi-
tion in the user set up menu mode and the AF
indicator comes on.

For additional information, see “User set up menu”
later in this section for how to switch this mode on
or off.
The following functions operate when the AF mode
is on:
Automatic switching function
This function compares the strengths of the signals
and selects the station with the optimum reception
conditions.
Enhanced Other Network (EON) data
update (this function also operates when
the AF mode is off.)
When EON data is being received, this enables au-
tomatic retuning of other preset stations on the same
network. Also, network linked services can be used
such as traffic announcement. EON indicator lights
up when receiving RDS EON stations in the FM
waveband.
Programme Service (PS) function
(station name display function)
When an RDS station is tuned in with seek or manual
tuning, the programme station name will be dis-
played immediately after receiving the RDS data.
Emergency broadcast interrupt function
[ALARM INTERRUPTION – EBU
(European Broadcasting Union) SPEC

gency broadcast code), the sound is interrupted,
the emergency broadcast is heard, and ALARM is
displayed. Once the emergency broadcast is fin-
ished, the unit immediately returns to the previous
source.
REG (Regional) mode
When the REG mode is activated in the FM wave-
band and the radio receiver is tuned to a regional
radio station which is transmitting local (regional)
programmes, then it will keep receiving this radio
station without switching to another regional station.
For additional information, see “User set up menu”
later in this section for how to de/activate this mode.

nouncement is tuned in and the volume increases to
the set level. TRAFFIC is displayed and the TA indi-
cator blinks.
Once the traffic announcement is finished, the unit
returns to the source which was set before the traf-
fic announcement started, and the volume returns to
the previous level. For EON stations, the radio is
interrupted by another EON station with traffic an-
nouncements.
The traffic announcement interrupt mode is can-
celled if the TA, BAND or SRC button is pressed
during a traffic announcement. The TA mode re-
turns to the standby mode.
