WARNING
•Since your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
a rearward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first.
•Do not fit a rearward facing child seat on the
front passenger seat if the air bag activation/
deactivation system (where fitted) is malfunc-
tioning. Your vehicle must immediately be
taken to a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop in such a situation.
The front passenger air bag status lights
andare located on the instrument panel above the
shift lever.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the front passenger air bag status ON and
OFF lights illuminate and then turn off or remain on
depending on the front passenger air bag status.
•When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the front passenger air bag is ac-
tive, both the front passenger air bag status OFF
light
, and the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) air bag warning lightin the com-
bination meterj1 will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds.
The front passenger air bag status ON light
will illuminate and then turn off after a period of
time when the front passenger air bag switch is
in the ON position.
•When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the front passenger air bag is inac-
tive, both the front passenger air bag status ON
light
, and the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) air bag warning lightin the com-
bination meterj1 will turn on after about 7 sec-
onds.
The front passenger air bag status OFF light
will illuminate and remain on as long as the
front passenger air bag switch is in the OFF
position.
If the front passenger air bag status light operates in
a way other than described above, the front passen-
ger air bag may not function properly. Have the sys-
tem checked, and if necessary repaired, by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop promptly.

To turn on the front passenger air bag:
1. Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the glove box and insert the key into the
front passenger air bag switch.
3. Push and turn the key to the ON position.

Supplemental side–impact air bag
system
The supplemental side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The supplemental side-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity side
impact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental side-impact air bag
system operation.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright, and as far as
is practical, away from the side air bag. The side air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the front
occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if theoccupant is too close to, or is against, these air bag
modules during inflation. The side air bag will de-
flate quickly after the collision is over.
Supplemental side–impact curtain air
bag system (where fitted)
The supplemental side–impact curtain air bag is lo-
cated in the roof side trims.
The supplemental side–impact curtain air bag sys-
tem is designed to inflate in higher severity side col-
lisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher se-
verity side impact. It may not inflate in certain side
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not al-
ways an indication of proper supplemental curtain
side–impact air bag system operation.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the rear
seat passengers should be seated as far away as
practical from the door finishers and side roof rails.
The curtain air bags inflate quickly in order to help
protect the front and rear occupants. Because of
this, the force of the curtain air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too close
to, or is against, these air bag modules during infla-
tion. The curtain air bag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
WARNING
•Directly after inflation, several air bag system
components will be hot. Do not touch them;
you may severely burn yourself.

on the driver side centre pillar, to turn the low
tyre pressure warning light off. If the light still
illuminates while driving after adjusting the
tyre pressure, a tyre may be flat. If you have a
flat tyre, repair it with the emergency tyre
puncture repair kit (where fitted) or replace it
with a spare tyre (where fitted) as soon as
possible.
•After adjusting the tyre pressure, be sure to
reset the TPMS. Unless the resetting is per-
formed, the TPMS will not warn of the low tyre
pressure correctly.
•When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
•Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
CAUTION
•The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
•If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
•Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly.
Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This
means the system is operational.

qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.
