FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN
SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG SYSTEMS
GUID-17B6038E-9ED1-47FA-95EC-3CB5939B8DA1The 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 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.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
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 promptly.
Front side 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 cushion the impact force to the head of
occupants in the front seating positions. They
can help save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating side air bag and curtain air
bag 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 bags. The side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect 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 deflate quickly after the
collision is over.
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.
. 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, we request that you
inform the buyer about the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to
the appropriate sections in this Owner's Manual.
SEAT BELTS WITH PRETEN-
SIONERS (front seats)
GUID-83CCFE23-17A6-4609-BB14-B0BAD60738AA
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, it is recommended to
have the pretensioner system
checked and, if necessary, replaced
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should be

1-46Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
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, it is
recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts. When a preten-
sioner activates, smoke is released and a loud
noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful,
and it 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.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See
ªSupplemental air bag warn-
ing lightº page 1-47 for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, it is
recommended you have the system checked
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner's Manual.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARN-
ING LIGHT
GUID-82359632-46CE-4C81-B9FB-07D0ED5D4EB5The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the meter, monitors the circuits for the
air bag systems, pretensioners and all related
wirings.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the SRS air bag systems are
operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bag and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing:
.
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or
pretensioner systems may not operate properly.
They must be checked and repaired. It is
recommended you take your vehicle to the
nearest GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioners will not operate in
an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
GUID-52C90909-0DB6-4BD4-9AC0-8CF05E0220C1The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
