READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY
Before driving your vehicle, read this Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure
familiarity with controls and maintenance requirements, assisting you in the safe
operation of your vehicle.
Throughout this manual the following symbols and words are used:
WARNING
Indicates the presence of a hazard that could cause death or serious per-
sonal injury. To avoid or reduce the risk, the procedures described must be
followed precisely.
CAUTION
Indicates the presence of a hazard that could cause minor or moderate per-
sonal injury, or damage to your vehicle. To avoid or reduce the risk, the pro-
cedures described must be followed carefully.
NOTE
Indicates additional helpful information.

•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the air bag sys-
tem. This is to prevent accidental inflation of
the air bag or damage to the air bag system.
•Tampering with the air bag system may result
in serious personal injury. Tampering includes
making changes to the steering wheel and
the instrument panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering pad and above the
dashboard, or by installing additional trim ma-
terial around the air bag system.
•Do not attach any objects to the steering
wheel pad or to the instrument panel. Objects
attached to the steering wheel pad and in-
strument panel may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the air bag inflates.
•Work on and around the air bag system should
be done by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Installation of electrical equipment
should be done by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. The yellow SRS wiring har-
nesses* should not be modified or discon-
nected. Unauthorised electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should not be used
on the air bag system.
* SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
insulation either just before the harness con-
nectors or on the complete harness, for easy
identification.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
WARNING
•Once the air bags have been inflated, the air
bag modules will not function and must be
replaced. The air bag modules must be re-
placed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. The inflated air bag modules cannot be
repaired.
•The air bag systems should be inspected by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop if there
is any damage to the front end portion of the
vehicle.
•When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the air bag system and
guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in
this Owner’s Manual.
•If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap the
vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. Correct disposal procedures are
set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts are de-
signed to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless the SRS air bag warning light is
damaged, the SRS air bag warning light remains
illuminated after inflation has occurred. The repair
and replacement of the SRS should be done only by
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat
belts and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the LOCK position when
working under the bonnet or inside the vehicle.

Low tyre pressure warning light
(where fitted)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) that monitors the tyre pres-
sure of all tyres except the spare.
The low tyre pressure warning light warns of low
tyre pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not func-
tioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, this light illuminates for about 1 second and
turns off.
Low tyre pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tyre pressure,
the warning light will illuminate. A low tyre pressure
warning (e.g., [Low tyre pressure]) also appears in
the vehicle information display.
When the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates,
you should stop and adjust the tyre pressure of all 4
tyres to the recommended COLD tyre pressure
shown on the tyre placard located on the driver side
centre pillar see “Tyre placard” in the “9. Technical
information” section. The low tyre pressure warning
light does not automatically turn off when the tyre
pressure is adjusted. After the tyre is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven
at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate theTPMS and turn off the low tyre pressure warning
light. Use a tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure.
The low tyre pressure (e.g., [Low tyre pressure])
warning appears each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low tyre
pressure warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle information
display” later in this section and “Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” later in this section.
TPMS resetting must be also performed after a tyre
or a wheel is replaced, or the tyres are rotated.
Depending on a change in the outside temperature,
the low tyre pressure warning light may illuminate
even if the tyre pressure has been adjusted prop-
erly. Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are cold,
and reset the TPMS.
If the low tyre pressure warning light still continues
to illuminate after the resetting operation, it may indi-
cate that the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
For additional information, see “Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section and “Vehicle information display”
later in this section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tyre
pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1
minute when the ignition switch is placed in the ONposition. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop. The low tyre pressure warning does
not appear if the low tyre pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the igni-
tion switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
•If the low tyre pressure warning light illumi-
nates while driving, avoid sudden steering
manoeuvres or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tyres may permanently
damage the tyres and increase the likelihood
of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check the
tyre pressure for all four tyres. Adjust the tyre
pressure to the recommended COLD tyre
pressure shown on the tyre placard, located

tenance and do-it-yourself” section. Many factors
including tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tyre wear and when
tyres should be replaced. Setting the tyre re-
placement indicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tyres will last that long. Use
the tyre replacement indicator as a guide only
