•If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guideof
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean,
dry cloth.
•Periodically check to see that the seat belt
and the metal components, such as buckles,
tongues, retractors, flexible wires and anchors,
work properly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts
or other damage on the webbing is found, the
entire seat belt assembly should be replaced.
WARNING
•The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor as a unit.
•If the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt opera-
tion. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat
belt system may result in serious personal in-
jury.
•Work on and around the pre-tensioner system
should be done by an authorised NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. Installation of
electrical equipment should also be done by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. Unau-
thorised electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on the pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
•If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. Correct pre-tensioner
disposal procedures are set forth in the ap-propriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause personal in-
jury.
The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system is acti-
vated in conjunction with the front air bag system. It
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle is in-
volved in certain types of collisions by restraining
the seat occupants via the seat belt retractor.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s
retractor. These seat belts are used in the same way
as conventional seat belts.
Additionally, the driver’s side pre-tensioner seat belt
system is also equipped with a lap pre-tensioner.
Both the retractor pre-tensioner and lap pre-ten-
sioner provide significant protection against injury in
an accident and increase the safety performance of
your vehicle.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt system activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard.
The smoke is harmless, but care should be taken
not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and choking.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START
position, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag warning light will illuminate. The SRS air bag
warning light will turn off after approximately 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational. If any of the follow-
ing conditions occur, the air bag and/or pre-ten-
sioner seat belt need servicing and your vehicle must
be taken to the nearest NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-13

The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children
aged 12 and under. Always use seat belts and
child restraints. For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, you must always wear
your safety belt. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the airbag. Do not place any objects over
the airbag or between the airbag and yourself. If
the airbag warning light stays on or is flashing
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, go to a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Airbags can only be removed or disposed
of by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Be sure to read the “AIRBAG LABEL” description
at the end of this manual.
In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger
air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem only on the rear seats.
When installing a child restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation. For informa-
tion, see “Child restraints” earlier in this section.SRS air bag warning light
The SRS air bag warning light, displayingin
the instrument panel, monitors the circuits of the
supplemental front-impact air bag, front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag (where
fitted), supplemental curtain side-impact air bags
(where fitted), and pre-tensioner seat belt systems.
The circuits monitored by the SRS air bag warning
light are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sen-
sor, satellite sensors, front impact air bag modules,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bag modules (where fitted), roof-mounted curtain
side-impact supplemental air bag modules (where
fitted), pre-tensioner seat belt systems, and all re-
lated wiring.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-
tem is operational.Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
•The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately 7 seconds.
•The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
•The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag systems and/or
pre-tensioner seat belt systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and repaired. Con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop imme-
diately.
