SYSTEMS
GUID-EB2F6895-6E81-4642-9F76-FC0B9A82DFD3The side air bags are located in the outside of
the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails (Hardtop
models) or upper side of the door trim (Cross-
Cabriolet models) . 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 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 heads of occupants in the front and
rear outboard seating positions (Hardtop mod-
els) or the heads of the driver and front
passenger (CrossCabriolet models) . 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 the
driver 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

1-58Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the occupants. 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. In a rollover, the
curtain and rollover air bags on both sides are
designed to inflate. Under both side-impact and
rollover situations, the curtain air bags will
remain inflated for a short period of time.
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. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a side
air bag or door-mounted curtain air bag (CrossCabriolet model) 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 bags. This is to prevent
damage to or accidental inflation of
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, door panel,
door trim, 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
installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side
air bag. .
Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain and rollover air bag
systems 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 harnesses* should not
be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not be
used on the side air bag and curtain
and rollover air bag systems.
*
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 side air bag and
curtain and rollover air bag systems and guide
the buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner’s Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS
(front seats)
GUID-3B87B5A0-4336-4C99-89BF-22D756A42161
WARNING
.The pretensioners cannot be reused
after activation. They must be re-

placed together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in a
collision but a pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the pre-
tensioner system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioner system. This is
to prevent damage to or accidental
activation of the pretensioners.
Tampering with the pretensioner
system may result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioner system should be done by a
NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec-
trical equipment should also be
done by a NISSAN dealer. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not be
used on the pretensioner system.
. If you need to dispose of a preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
NISSAN dealer. Correct preten-
sioner disposal procedures are set
forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal
procedures could cause personal
injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. 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
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner activates, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. The
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 pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See “Supplemental air bag warning
light” later in this section for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have the system checked by a 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.

circuits for the air bag systems, pretensioner
seat belt system and all related wiring.
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 SRS air bag systems are
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bags and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing: .
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains 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 air bags and/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 air
bags and/or pretensioner systems will
not operate in an accident. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.

DUAL POP-UP ROLL BAR SYSTEM
(CrossCabriolet models)
GUID-94609B65-694A-4C47-A779-9B5BB5581CB7The dual pop-up roll bars are designed to
deploy only during rollover collisions. The dual
pop-up roll bars are located behind the rear
seatback and deploy when the Air bag Control
Unit (ACU) judges that the vehicle will overturn.
The dual pop-up roll bars, with proper seat belt
usage, help preserve occupant headroom in a
rollover collision and can help reduce the risk of
occupant injury.

vated. Keep hands and other body
parts away from the dual pop-up roll
bars.
. Never place objects (such as um-
brellas or accessories) near the dual
pop-up roll bars, which deploy from
the top of rear seatback. Such
objects can become dangerous pro-
jectiles when dual pop-up roll bars
deploy.
. Tampering with the dual pop-up roll
bars may cause them to uninten-
tionally deploy or operate abnor-
mally.
. Never open the dual pop-up roll bar
covers or modify or disassemble the
