2009 NISSAN GT-R light

Black plate (70,1)
Model "R35-D" EDITED: 2008/ 5/ 20
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner systems need servicing:
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on approximately 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.
. 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 or pretensioner systems may
not operate properly. They must be checked and
repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioners will not operate in
an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer as soon as possi-
ble.REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDUREThe front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. Repair and replacement of these sys-
tems should be done only by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags, pretensioners and related parts should
be pointed out to the person conducting the
maintenance. The ignition switch should always
be in the LOCK position when working under
the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Once a front air bag, side air bag, or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
if any of the front air bags inflate,
the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioners should be
replaced by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. The air bag module and
pretensioners cannot be repaired.
. The front air bag, side air bag,
curtain air bag and the pretensioner
should be inspected by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if there is
any damage to the front end or side
portion of the vehicle.
. If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or a pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Correct air
bag and pretensioner disposal pro-
cedures are set forth in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
