ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (where
fitted for front seats)
WARNING
•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.
•Active head restraints are designed to supple-
ment other safety systems. Always wear seat
belts. No system can prevent all injuries in an
accident.
•Do not attach anything to the head restraint
stalks. Doing so could impair the active head
restraint’s function.
The head restraint moves forward utilising the force
that the seatback receives from the occupant in a
rear-end collision. The movement of the head re-
straint helps support the occupant’s head by reduc-ing its backward movement and by helping to ab-
sorb 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 whip-
lash 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 de-
scribed in the previous section.
Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS
Driver’s side
The driver’s seat belt warning light, located in the
instrument panel, will light up if the driver has not
fastened his/her seat belt. See “Warning/indicator
lights and audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section for further details.
Passenger’s side
The front passenger’s seat belt warning light is lo-
cated on the centre console as illustrated and re-
minds the front passenger to fasten his/her seat
belt. The light comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position and goes out when the
front passenger has securely fastened his/her seat
belt. A chime will sound unless the front passenger
seat belt is securely fastened when the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 km/h (15 MPH). The chime will
stop after approximately 90 seconds.

SEAT BELTS
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-5

•The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
•The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
•The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly. It must be checked and
repaired.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you in-
form the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driver
and front passenger air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pre-tensioner seat belt system.
Front 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.
NOTE
It is possible to disable the front passenger air
bag. See “Front passenger air bag indicator light”
later in this section for further details.
Side air bag system:this system can help cushion
the impact force to the chest area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The side air bag is designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
Curtain air bag system (where fitted):this system
can help cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in the front and rear outer seating posi-
tion. Curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted.
SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passenger seat
belts and isnot designed to substitutethem. Seat
belts should always be correctly worn and the driver
and front passenger seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel and front
door finishers. For additional information, see “Seat
belts” earlier in this section.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the air bag warning light illumi-nates. The air bag warning light will turn off after
approximately 7 seconds if the system is opera-
tional. See “Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
sectionfor further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.
WARNING
Driver and front passenger air bags.
•The air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a side impact, rear impact, roll over,
or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk or se-
verity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
•The seat belts and the air bags are most ef-
fective when you are sitting back and upright
in the seat. 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
and may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (air bag system)
1-10Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Side and curtain air bags (where fitted)
The supplemental side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front seats. The
supplemental curtain air bags are located in the roof
side trims. The supplemental side air bags and cur-
tain air bags are designed to inflate in higher sever-
ity side collisions, 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. Ve-
hicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indica-
tion of proper supplemental side air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag and curtain air
bag inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, fol-
lowed by a release of smoke. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire. However, care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing 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
chest of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help
to cushion the impact force to the head of occu-
pants in the front and rear outer seating positions.
They can help save lives and reduce serious inju-
ries. However, an inflating side air bag and curtain
air bag may cause abrasions or other injuries.
Supplemental side air bags and curtain air bags do
not provide restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright, and as far as
is practical, away from the side air bag. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as practi-
cal from the door finishers and side roof rails. The
side air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect the front occupants. Because
of this, the force of the side air bag and curtain 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 and cur-
tain air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is
over.
WARNING
•Directly after inflation, several air bag system
components will be hot. Do not touch them;
you may severely burn yourself.
•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the air bag sys-
tem. This is to prevent accidental inflation of
the air bag or damage to the air bag system.
•Tampering with the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury. Tampering includes
making changes to the steering wheel and
the instrument panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering pad and above the
dashboard, or by installing additional trim ma-
terial around the air bag system.
•Do not attach any objects to the steering
wheel pad or to the instrument panel. Objects
attached to the steering wheel pad and in-
strument panel may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the air bag inflates.
•Work on and around the air bag system should
be done by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Installation of electrical equipment
should be done by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. The yellow SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorised electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should not be used
on the air bag system.
* SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness con-
nectors or on the complete harness, for an
easy identification.

Child restraint on front passenger seat
(front passenger air bag equipped
models)
Vehicles equipped with a front passenger air bag,
will have an air bag warning label attached to the
passenger’s side of the instrument panel as (previ-
ously) illustrated.
This label mentions:
“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!”
This label warns you not to fit a rear facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the front passenger air bag.
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
When installing child restraints in your vehicle, al-
ways carefully observe the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. For more details on the installation of child
restraints, see “Child restraints” later in this section.
Children on front passenger seat (side
air bag equipped models)
Vehicles equipped with side air bags, will have a
side air bag warning label attached to the vehicle’s
interior as shown in the (previous) illustration.
This label warns you not to let infants or small chil-
dren sit on the front passenger’s seat as the air bag
may cause serious injury in case of deployment dur-
ing a collision.
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.

may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
