placing material over the steering
wheel pad and above the instrument
panel or by installing additional trim
material around the air bag system.
.Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result in
serious personal injury. For exam-
ple, do not change the front seats by
placing material on the seat cushion
or by installing additional trim ma-
terial, such as seat covers, on the
seat that is not specifically designed
to assure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any ob-
jects under the front passenger seat
or the seat cushion and seatback.
Such objects may interfere with the
proper operation of the occupant
classification sensor.
.No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the seat belt system. This may
affect the front air bag system.
Tampering with the seat belt system
may result in serious personal in-
jury.
.Work on and around the front air
bag system should be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec-trical equipment should also be
done by a NISSAN dealer. The
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) wiring should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized elec-
trical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the
air bag system.
.A cracked windshield should be
replaced immediately by a qualified
repair facility. A cracked windshield
could affect the function of the
supplemental air bag system.
.The SRS wiring harness connectors
are yellow and orange for easy
identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the front air bag system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND
ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM-
PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN-
TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof rails.
These systems are designed to meet voluntary
guidelines to help reduce the risk of injury to out-
of-position occupants.However, all of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual still apply and must be followed.
The side air bags and curtain and rollover air
bags are designed to inflate in higher severity
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-51

Model "Z51-D" EDITED: 2007/ 10/ 2
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. Curtain and rollover air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of rollover
collisions or near rollovers.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain and
rollover air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain and rollover
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
condition should get fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain
and rollover air bags help to cushion 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,
side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags
may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air
bags and curtain and rollover air bags do not
provide restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and thedriver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bags. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the occupants in the outboard seating positions.
Because of this, the force of the side air bags
and curtain and rollover 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 side air bags and curtain
and rollover air bags will deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
The side air bags and curtain and rollover
air bags operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch 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 systems are operational.
WARNING
.Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door
finisher and the front seat. Suchobjects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a side
air bag inflates.
.Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain and rollover air bag
system components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
.No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of this side air bag and curtain and
rollover air bag systems. This is to
prevent accidental inflation of the
side air bags and curtain and roll-
over air bags or damage to the side-
impact air bag and curtain side-
impact and rollover air bag systems.
.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 and
rollover air bag systems.
.Tampering with the supplemental
air bag system may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing
material near the seatbacks or by

After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
If any abnormality occurs in the pretensioner
system, the supplemental air bag warning light
will not come on, will flash intermittently or
will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the ON
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 pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 165 lb (75 kg) on
the roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the crossbars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof rails. Contact a
NISSAN dealer for crossbar or other equipment
information. Be careful that your vehicle does
not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear) . The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S.
certification label (located on the driver’s door
pillar) . For more information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, see “VEHICLE LOADING INFOR-
MATION” in the “9. Technical and consumerinformation” section.
WARNING
.Drive extra carefully when the vehi-
cle is loaded at or near the cargo
carrying capacity, especially if the
significant portion of that load is
carried on the roof rack.
.Heavy loading of the roof rack has
the potential to affect the vehicle
stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
.Roof rack load should be evenly
distributed.
.Do not exceed maximum roof rack
load weight capacity.
.Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing
items from the roof rack. If you cannot
comfortably lift the items onto the roofrack from the ground, use a ladder or
stool.
