WARNING
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, donot place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles
and cause injury if a side air bag
inflates.
Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain air bag system com-
ponents will be hot. Do not touch
them; you may severely burn your-
self.
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the side air bag and curtain air bag
systems. This is to prevent accidental
inflation of the side air bags and
curtain air bags or damage to the
side air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tems.
Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation of
the side air bag and curtain air bag
systems.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front-impact air bag,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag (if so equipped), roof-mounted curtain side-
impact supplemental air bag (if so equipped for
Coupe models) and seat belt pretensioner sys-
tems. The monitored circuits include the Air bag
Control Unit (ACU), crash zone sensor, satellite
sensors, front air bag modules, side air bag
modules, curtain air bag modules, pretensioners
and all related wiring.After turning the ignition key to the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag, and
pretensioner systems need servicing:
The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag and/or pretensioner systems
may not operate properly. They must be checked
and repaired. Take your vehicle to a NISSAN
dealer.
