Children
Children who are too large for child restraints should
be seated and restrained by the seat belts that are
provided.
The use of a booster seat (commercially available)
may help to avoid the shoulder belt coming across
the face or neck area of a child’s seating position.
The booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,
middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is low
on the hips. The booster seat should fit the vehicle’s
seat. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt
is no longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any seat and
do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the
vehicle is moving.
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never
put the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons use seat
belts, depending on the injury. Check with your doc-
tor for specific recommendations.
SEAT BELT WARNINGS
Driver and front passenger
The seat belt warning lightsj1 , located in the in-
strument panel, will light up if the driver and/or front
passenger seat belts have not been fastened. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section for further
details.
Dependant on the vehicle specification the seat belt
warning lights, located in the instrument control
panel, will either:
•Alert only the driver when his/her seat belt is not
securely fastened.
•Alert the driver and/or front passenger when a
seat belt is not securely fastened.
Rear passengers
The rear passenger seat belt warning (where fitted)j1 is shown in the vehicle information display see
“Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section.
The seat belt warning alerts the driver and/or front
passenger if a (rear) seat belt is not securely fas-
tened. The seat belt warning shows a filled circle
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and an empty circle when the related seat belt has
been securely fastened, or after approximately 35
seconds after engine start, or when acknowledged
by the driver pushing the steering wheel switch
(where fitted).
NOTE
•If there is a change in rear seat belt status
during a journey then the applicable symbol
for any unbuckled seat will show again for a
further 35 seconds.
•The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not illuminate if the seat is unoccupied.
•A chime will sound unless the front passen-
ger seat belt is securely fastened when the
vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h (15 MPH).
The chime will stop after approximately 90
seconds.

1-10Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag system
(where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of the driver and passengers in front and
rear outer seating positions in certain side-impact
collisions. The roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag is designed to inflate on the
side where the vehicle is impacted.
The SRS is designed tosupplementthe crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and front passenger
seat belts and isnot designed to substitutethem.
Seat belts should always be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front door finishers. For additional infor-
mation, see “Seat belts” earlier in this section.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON or
START position, the air bag warning light will illu-
minate. The air bag warning light will turn off
after approximately 7 seconds if the system is
operational. See “Warning/indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” sectionfor further details.
The air bag will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.Driver and front passenger air bags:
WARNING
•The supplemental front-impact air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear the seat belts
to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in
accidents.
•The seat belts and the supplemental front-im-
pact air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
front-impact air bags inflate with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-
ting sideways, or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or death in an
accident. You may also receive serious or fa-
tal injuries from the supplemental front-im-
pact air bag if you are up against it when itinflates. Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the steering
wheel. Always use the seat belts.
WARNING
•Never install a child restraint system in the
front seat. An inflating supplemental front-im-
pact air bag could seriously injure or kill your
child (see “Air bag warning labels” later in this
section).
•Children may be severely injured or killed
when the air bags inflate if they are not prop-
erly restrained see “Child restraints” earlier in
this section.
•Never let children ride unrestrained or extend
their hands or face out of the window. Do not
attempt to hold them in your lap or arms.

WARNING
•Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
pad. Do not place any objects between the
driver and steering wheel pad. Such objects
may become dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if a supplemental air bag inflates.
•Immediately after inflation, several supple-
mental air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them: you may severely burn
yourself.
•No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the supplemen-
tal air bag systems. This is to prevent acci-
dental inflation of the supplemental air bags
or damage to the supplemental air bag sys-
tems.
•Do not make unauthorised changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or front end structure. This could affect
proper operation of the supplemental air bag
systems.
•Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel by placing materials over the steering
wheel pad and above, and by installing addi-
tional trim materials around the supplemental
air bag systems.NIC2170
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-33

•Work around and on the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the supple-
mental air bag systems.
•The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and/or orange for easy identification.
•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. However,
care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause
irritation and choking. Occupants with a history of
breathing difficulties, such as asthma, should get
fresh air promptly.
Supplemental air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest
of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help to cush-
ion the impact force to the head of occupants in the
front and rear outer seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, aninflating side air bag and curtain air bag may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Supplemental side air
bags and curtain air bags do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation.
WARNING
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In a frontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child.For models with front passenger air bag switch:
The front passenger air bag is designed to be turned
off using the front passenger air bag switch, only if
absolutely necessary.
