FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN
SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG SYSTEMS
The front 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.All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in higher se\ferity side collisions,
although they may inflate if the forces in another
ty\be of collision are similar to those of a higher se\ferity side im\bact. They are designed to inflate
on the side where the \fehicle is im\bacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of \bro\ber side air bag and curtain air
bag o\beration.
When the side air bags and curtain 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 \brom\btly.
Front side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, hel\b to cushion the im\bact force on the
chest of the front occu\bants. Curtain air bags
hel\b to cushion the im\bact force to the head of
occu\bants in the front seating \bositions. They
can hel\b sa\fe li\fes and reduce serious injuries.
Howe\fer, an inflating side air bag and curtain air
bag may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side
air bags and curtain air bags do not \bro\fide
restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
dri\fer and \bassenger seated u\bright as far as
\bractical away from the side air bags. The side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to hel\b \brotect occu\bants. Because of
this, the force of the side air bags and curtain air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occu\bant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The side air bags
and curtain air bags will deflate quickly after the
collision is o\fer.
The side air bags and curtain air bags o\berate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
\bosition.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The 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 inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain 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 the side air bags and curtain air
bags. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental inflation of the side air
bag and curtain air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation
of the side air bag and curtain air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the side air bag
system may result in serious perso-
nal injury. For example, do not
change the front seat by placing
material near the seatback or by
installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side
air bags.
. Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems should
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Installation of electrical
equipment should also be done by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. The
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
air bag systems.
* The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, \fe request that you
in\borm the buyer about the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to
the appropriate sections in this O\fner’s Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETEN-
SIONERS (front seats)
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 the pretensioner is not
activated, be sure to have the pre-
tensioner system checked and, if
necessary, replaced by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer. .
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioners. 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-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installation
of electrical equipment should also
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the preten-
sioners.
. If you need to dispose of a preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate \fith the
supplemental air bag system in certain types o\b
collisions. Working \fith the seat belt retractor, it
helps tighten the seat belt \fhen the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types o\b collisions,

helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat �felt
retractor. These seat �felts are used the same
way as conventional seat �felts. �bhen a preten-
sioner activates, smoke is released and a loud
noise may �fe heard. The smoke is not harmful,
and it does not indicate a fire. Care should �fe
taken not to inhale it as it may cause irritation
and choking. Those with a history of a �freathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat �felt to release we�f�fing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air �fag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See
“Supplemental air �fag warn-
ing light” page 1-47 for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air �fag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked �fy a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

.Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors.
. If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. The tire
may be seriously damaged and
need to be replaced.
. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system reset-
ting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
