2008 NISSAN TITAN Owners Manual

Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
(if so equipped)
The front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags are located in the outside of the
seatback of the front seats. The roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags are located in the side roof rails. These
systems are designed to meet voluntary guide-
lines to help reduce the risk of injury to out-of-
position occupants.However, all of the infor-
mation, cautions and warnings in thismanual still apply and must be followed.
The front seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover
air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity
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.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bags are also designed to inflate
in certain types of rollover collisions or near roll-
overs. As a result, certain vehicle movements (for
example, during severe off roading) may cause
the airbags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag op-
eration.
When the front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover supplemental air bags
inflate, 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 con-
dition should get fresh air promptly.Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to
cushion the impact force on the chest of the front
occupants. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bags help to cush-
ion the impact force to the head of occupants in
the front and rear outboard seating positions.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bags, or roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supple-
mental air bags may cause abrasions or other
injuries. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental 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 front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag. Rear seat passen-
gers should be seated as far away as practical
from the door finishers and side roof rails. The
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect the occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the

occupant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag will
deflate quickly after the collision is over.
Thefront seat-mounted side-impact supplemen-
tal air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air bags will
remain inflated for a short time.
The front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bags and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover supple-
mental air bags operate only when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON or START posi-
tions.
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
cDo not place any objects near the seat-
back of the front seats. Also, do not
place any objects (an umbrella, bag,
etc.) between the front door finisher
and the front seat. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag
inflates.
cRight after inflation, several front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag and roof-mounted curtain side-
impact and rollover supplemental air
bag system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the side
air bag and curtain air bag or damage to
the side air bag and curtain air bag
system.cDo not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle’s electrical system, sus-
pension system or side panel. This
could affect proper operation of the
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system.
cTampering with the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag sys-
tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. For example, do not change the
front seats by placing material near the
seatbacks or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers,
around the side air bag.
cWork around and on the roof-mounted
curtain side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag system should be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation
of electrical equipment should also be
done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wir-
ing harnesses* should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized electri-
cal test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the side air bag
or curtain air bag system.
* The SRS wiring harness or connectors are
yellow or orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag and roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supple-
mental air bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
Seat belts with pretensioners system
(Front seats)
WARNING
cThe seat belts with pretensioners can-
not be reused after activation. It must
be replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
c
If the vehicle becomes involved in a fron-
tal collision but the pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the preten-
sioner system checked and, if necessary,
replaced by your NISSAN dealer.
cNo unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
seat belts with pretensioners system.
This is to prevent accidental activation of
the seat belts with pretensioners or dam-
age to the seat belts with pretensioners
operation. Tampering with the seat belts
with pretensioners system may result in
serious personal injury.
cWork around and on the pretensioner
system should be done by a NISSAN
dealer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by a NISSAN
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices should
not be used on the seat belts with pre-
tensioners system.
cIf you need to dispose of the preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct pretensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The driver and right front passenger seat belts
include a pretensioner system that activates in
conjunction with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps
tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions, helping to
restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used the same as
conventional seat belts.
When the pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. 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.
After the pretensioners have activated, load lim-
iters allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the chest.
If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner
system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
will not come on, will flash intermit-
tently 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 pretensioner
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
inform the buyer about the seat belts with preten-
sioners system and guide the buyer to the appro-
priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.
