WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.
. The seat belt should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do
so may reduce the effectiveness of
the entire restraint system and in-
crease the chance or severity of
injury in an accident. Serious injury
or death can occur if the seat belt is
not worn properly.
. Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your
chest. Never put the belt behind
your back, under your arm or across
your neck. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
. Position the lap belt as low and
snug as possible AROUND THE
HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt
worn too high could increase the
risk of internal injuries in an acci-
dent.
. Be sure the seat belt tongue is
securely fastened to the proper buckle.
. Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
. Do not allow more than one person
to use the same seat belt.
. Never carry more people in the
vehicle than there are seat belts.
. If the seat belt warning light glows
continuously while the ignition is
turned ON with all doors closed and
all seat belts fastened, it may in-
dicate a malfunction in the system.
Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. No changes should be made to the
seat belt system. For example, do
not modify the seat belt, add mate-
rial or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or
tension. Doing so may affect the
operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the
seat belt system may result in
serious personal injury.
. Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and

side to side while holding the child restraint
near the seat belt path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm)
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the seat belt as necessary, or put the
restraint in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles.

RESTRAINT SYSTEM
GUID-71C486F8-1582-4276-B111-88F8C1BA7124This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information concern-
ing the following systems.
.Driver and passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System)
. Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mounted (Coupe models) or door-
mounted (Roadster models) curtain side-
impact supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvis
area of the driver and front passenger in certain
side impact collisions. The front seat side-
impact supplemental air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system (for Coupe models): This system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of the driver and front passenger in
certain side impact collisions. The curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted.
Door-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system (for Roadster mod-
els):
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the heads of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and passenger seat belts
and are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and door
finishers. (See ªSeat beltsº (P.1-10) for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

bag Control Unit (ACU) , seat belt buckle
switches and the occupant classification sensor
(pattern sensor) . Inflator operation is based on
the severity of a collision and seat belt usage for
the driver. For the front passenger, the occupant
classification sensor is also monitored. Based
on information from the sensors, only one front
air bag may inflate in a crash, depending on the
crash severity and whether the front occupants
are belted or unbelted. Additionally, the front
passenger air bag may be automatically turned
OFF under some conditions, depending on the
information provided by the occupant classifica-
tion sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,
the front passenger air bag status light will be
illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied, the light
will not be illuminated, but the air bag will be off) .
(See ªFront passenger air bag and status lightº
(P.1-37) for further details.) One front air bag
inflating does not indicate improper performance
of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer to obtain information about the system. If
you are considering modification of your vehicle
due to a disability, you may also contact a
NISSAN dealer. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner's Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, 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 promptly.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the head
and chest of the front occupants. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,
an inflating front air bag may cause facial
abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags do
not provide restraint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the driver
and passenger seated upright as far as practical
away from the steering wheel or instrument
panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order
to help protect the front occupants. Because of
this, the force of the front air bag inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too
close to, or is against, the air bag module during
inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The supplemental front air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed
to automatically turn OFF under some
conditions. Read this section carefully
to learn how it operates. Proper use of
the seat, seat belt and child restraints is
necessary for most effective protection.
Failure to follow all instructions in this
manual concerning the use of seats,
seat belts and child restraints can
increase the risk or severity of injury inan accident.
Status light:

located on the instrument panel. After the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
the front passenger air bag status light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off or
illuminates depending on the front passenger
seat occupied status. The light operates as
follows:
. Unoccupied front passenger seat: The
is OFF and the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash.
. Front passenger seat occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as outlined in
this section: The
illuminates to indicate
that the front passenger air bag is OFF and
will not inflate in a crash.
. Occupied front passenger seat and the front
passenger meets the conditions outlined in
this section: The light
is OFF to indicate
that the front passenger air bag is opera-
tional.
Front passenger air bag:
GUID-AA6F677B-CAE5-4386-AF57-9195368922B6The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described below as permitted by U.S. regulations. If the
front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate
in a crash. The driver air bag and other air bags
in your vehicle are not part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce
the risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag
to certain front passenger seat occupants, such
as children, by requiring the air bag to be
automatically turned OFF.
The occupant classification sensor (pattern
sensor) is in the front passenger seat cushion
and is designed to detect an occupant and
objects on the seat. For example, if a child is in
the front passenger seat, the Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passenger
air bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.
Also, if a child restraint of the type specified in
the regulations is on the seat, the occupant
classification sensor can detect it and cause the
air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as
outlined in this manual should not cause the
front passenger air bag to be automatically
turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned
OFF, however, if the occupant does not sit in the
seat properly (for example, by not sitting upright,
by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise
being out of position) , this could cause the

TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
GUID-DF0A0CC7-16B6-455F-BB8D-7F450B825E8EThe 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 (Coupe) or
upper side of the door trim (Roadster) .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 severity side
collisions, although they may inflate if the forces
in another type of collision are similar to those of
a higher severity side impact. They are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. They may not inflate in certain side
collisions on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain air bag operation.
When 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 promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,
help to cushion the impact force on the chest
and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain air
bags help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, inflating side
air bags and curtain air bags may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and
curtain air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bag, and seated
as far away as practical from the door finishers
and side roof rails. The side air bags and curtainair bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the out-of-position occupants. Because of this,
the force of the side air bags and curtain air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The side air bags
and curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short period of time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
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.
