. Until youhave confirmed withyour
dealer thatyour passenger seat
occupant classification systemis
working properly, positiontheoccu-
pants inthe rear seating positions.
This vehicle isequipped withtheNISSAN
Advanced AirBag System forthe driver and
front passenger seats.Thissystem isdesigned
to meet certification requirements underU.S.
regulations. Itis also permitted inCanada. Allof
the information, cautionsandwarnings in
this manual applyandmust befollowed.
The driver supplemental front-impactairbag is
located inthe center ofthe steering wheel.The
passenger supplemental front-impactairbag is
mounted inthe instrument panelabove theglove
box. Thefront airbags aredesigned toinflate in
higher severity frontalcollisions, althoughthey
may inflate ifthe forces inanother typeof
collision aresimilar tothose ofahigher severity
frontal impact. Theymaynotinflate incertain
frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (orlack ofit) is
not always anindication ofproper frontairbag
operation.
The NISSAN Advanced AirBag System has
dual stage airbag inflators. Thesystem monitors
information fromtheAirbag Control Unit(ACU) ,
seat beltbuckle sensors andtheoccupant classification
sensors(weightsensors) .Inflator
operation isbased onthe severity ofacollision
and seat beltusage forthe driver. Forthefront
passenger, theoccupant classification sensors
are also monitored. Basedoninformation from
the sensors, onlyonefront airbag may inflate in
a crash, depending onthe crash severity and
whether thefront occupants arebelted or
unbelted. Additionally ,the front passenger air
bag may beautomatically turnedOFFunder
some conditions, dependingonthe information
provided bythe occupant classification sensors.
If the front passenger airbag isOFF ,the
passenger airbag status lightwillbeilluminated
(if the seat isunoccupied, thelight willnot be
illuminated, buttheairbag willbeoff).(See
ªFront passenger airbag andstatus lightº(P.1-
46) forfurther details.) Onefront airbag inflating
does notindicate improper performance ofthe
system.
If you have anyquestions aboutyourairbag
system, contactNISSAN oraNISSAN dealer.If
you areconsidering modification ofyour vehicle
due toadisability ,you may also contact
NISSAN. Contactinformation iscontained in
the front ofthis Owner's Manual.
When afront airbag inflates, afairly loudnoise
may beheard, followed byrelease ofsmoke.
This smoke isnot harmful anddoes notindicate
a fire. Care should betaken nottoinhale it,as it may
cause irritation andchoking. Thosewitha
history ofabreathing conditionshouldgetfresh
air promptly .
Front airbags, along withtheuse ofseat belts,
help tocushion theimpact forceonthe head
and chest ofthe front occupants. Theycanhelp
save livesandreduce serious injuries. However,
an inflating frontairbag may cause facial
abrasions orother injuries. Frontairbags do
not provide restraint tothe lower body.
Even withNISSAN Advanced AirBags, seat
belts should becorrectly wornandthedriver
and passenger seatedupright asfar aspractical
away fromthesteering wheelorinstrument
panel. Thefront airbags inflate quickly inorder
to help protect thefront occupants. Becauseof
this, theforce ofthe front airbag inflating can
increase therisk ofinjury ifthe occupant istoo
close to,orisagainst, theairbag module during
inflation.
The front airbags deflate quickly afteracollision.
The front airbags operate onlywhen the
ignition switchisin the ONposition.
After theignition isplaced inthe ON
position, thesupplemental airbag warning
light illuminates. Thesupplemental airbag
warning lightwillturn offafter about 7
seconds ifthe system isoperational.

WARNING
The front passenger airbag isdesigned
to automatically turnOFF under some
conditions. Readthissection carefully
to learn howitoperates. Properuseof
the seat, seatbeltandchild restraints is
necessary formost effective protection.
Failure tofollow allinstructions inthis
manual concerning theuse ofseats,
seat belts andchild restraints can
increase therisk orseverity ofinjury in an
accident.

The front passenger airbag status light

Front passenger airbag:
GUID-F 83C168B-173D -4313-B631-F712588C04 63
The front passenger airbag isdesigned to
automatically turnOFF when thevehicle is
operated undersomeconditions asdescribed
below aspermitted byU.S. regulations. Ifthe front
passenger airbag isOFF ,it will notinflate
in acrash. Thedriver airbag andother airbags
in your vehicle arenot part ofthis system.
The purpose ofthe regulation isto help reduce
the risk ofinjury ordeath fromaninflating airbag
to certain frontpassenger seatoccupants, such
as children, byrequiring theairbag tobe
automatically turnedOFF.
The occupant classification sensors(weight
sensors) areonthe seat cushion frameunder
the front passenger seatandaredesigned to
detect anoccupant andobjects onthe seat. For
example, ifa child isin the front passenger seat,
the Advanced AirBag System isdesigned to
turn thepassenger airbag OFF inaccordance
with theregulations. Also,ifa child restraint of
the type specified inthe regulations ison the
seat, theoccupant classification sensorscan
detect itand cause theairbag toturn OFF.
Front passenger seatadult occupants whoare
properly seatedandusing theseat beltas
outlined inthis manual shouldnotcause the
passenger airbag tobe automatically turned
OFF .For small adults itmay beturned OFF,
however, ifthe occupant doesnotsitinthe seat
properly (forexample, bynot sitting upright, by
sitting onanedge ofthe seat, orby otherwise
being outofposition) ,this could cause the
sensors toturn theairbag OFF.Always besure
&RQGLWLRQ


> (GLW   0RGHO )'@
to be seated andwearing theseat beltproperly
for the most effective protection bythe seat belt
and supplemental airbag.
NISSAN recommends thatpre-teens andchil-
dren beproperly restrained inarear seat.
NISSAN alsorecommends thatappropriate
child restraints andbooster seatsbeproperly
installed inarear seat. Ifthis isnot possible, the
occupant classification sensorsaredesigned to
operate asdescribed abovetoturn thefront
passenger airbag OFF forspecified child
restraints. Failingtoproperly securechild
restraints andtouse theAutomatic Locking
Retractor (ALR)mode(childrestraint mode)
may allow therestraint totip ormove inan
accident orsudden stop.Thiscanalso result in
the passenger airbag inflating inacrash instead
of being OFF.(See ªChild restraintsº (P.1-18)
for proper useand installation.)
If the front passenger seatisnot occupied, the
passenger airbag isdesigned nottoinflate ina
crash. However, heavyobjects placedonthe
seat could resultinair bag inflation, because of
the object beingdetected bythe occupant
classification sensors.Otherconditions could
also result inair bag inflation, suchasifa child is
standing onthe seat, oriftwo children areonthe
seat, contrary tothe instructions inthis manual.
Always besure thatyouand allvehicle
occupants areseated andrestrained properly.Using
thepassenger airbag status light,youcan
monitor whenthefront passenger airbag is
automatically turnedOFFwiththeseat occu-
pied. Thelight willnotilluminate whenthefront
passenger seatisunoccupied.
If an adult occupant isin the seat butthe
passenger airbag status lightisilluminated
(indicating thattheairbag isOFF) ,it could be
that theperson isasmall adult, orisnot sitting
on the seat properly .
If achild restraint mustbeused inthe front seat,
the passenger airbag status lightmayormay
not beilluminated, dependingonthe size ofthe
child andthetype ofchild restraint beingused.If
the airbag status lightisnot illuminated
(indicating thattheairbag might inflate ina
crash) ,it could bethat thechild restraint orseat
belt isnot being usedproperly .Make surethat
the child restraint isinstalled properly,the seat
belt isused properly andtheoccupant is
positioned properly.If the airbag status lightis
not illuminated, repositiontheoccupant orchild
restraint inarear seat.
If the passenger airbag status lightwillnot
illuminate eventhough youbelieve thatthechild
restraint, theseat belts andtheoccupant are
properly positioned, thesystem maybesensing
an unoccupied seat(inwhich casetheairbag is
OFF) .Your NISSAN dealercancheck thatthe system
isOFF byusing aspecial tool.However,
until youhave confirmed withyour dealer that
your airbag isworking properly,reposition the
occupant orchild restraint inarear seat.
The airbag system andpassenger airbag status
light willtake afew seconds toregister achange
in the passenger seatstatus. However, ifthe
seat becomes unoccupied, theairbag status
light willremain off.
If amalfunction occursinthe front passenger air
bag system, thesupplemental airbag warning
light
, located inthe meter andgauges area,
will blink. Havethesystem checked bya

inflate, afairly loudnoise maybeheard, followed
by release ofsmoke. Thissmoke isnot harmful
and does notindicate afire. Care should be
taken nottoinhale it,as itmay cause irritation
