REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. These systems should be repaired and/
or replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pretensioners and related parts
should be pointed out to the person performing
the maintenance. The ignition switch should
always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
.Once a front air bag, side air bag or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioner should be
replaced. It is recommended youvisit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice. However, the air bag modules
and pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
.The front air bag, side air bag and
curtain air bag systems, and preten-
sioner system should be inspected
if there is any damage to the front
end or side portion of the vehicle. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
.If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer. Correct
supplemental air bag and preten-
sioner system disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
.If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should
be checked to verify it is still
functioning correctly. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. The OCS
should be checked even if no airbags deploy as a result of the
impact. Failure to verify proper
OCS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment result-
ing in injury or death.

The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors,
hood (if so equipped) and liftgate when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a motion
detection type system that activates when a
vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
*Afor the high
beam assist system is located in front of the
inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of
the high beam assist system and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
.Always keep the windshield clean.
.Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
ambient image sensor.
.Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor.

If the ambient image sensor is damaged due to
an accident, it is recommended you contact a
NISSAN dealer.
Battery saver system
.When the headlight switch is in theorposition while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automatically
turn off within a period of time after the
ignition switch has been placed in the OFF
position.
.When the headlight switch remains in the
orposition after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will turn on when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
CAUTION
.When you turn on the headlight
switch again after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will not
turn off automatically. Be sure to
turn the light switch to the OFF
position when you leave the vehicle
for extended periods of time, other-
wise the battery will be discharged.
.Never leave the light switch on
when the engine is not running forextended periods of time even if the
headlights turn off automatically.
Daytime Running Light (DRL) system
The LED portion of the headlights automatically
illuminate at 100% intensity when the engine is
started and the parking brake released. The LED
Daytime Running Light (DRL) operate with the
headlight switch in the OFF position or in the
position. When you turn the headlight
switch to theposition for full illumination,
the LED lights switch from LED DRL to the park
function.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine
is started, the LED DRL do not illuminate. The
LED DRL illuminate when the parking brake is
released. The LED DRL will remain on until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch ON for interior controls and switches to
illuminate, as those remain OFF while the switch
is in the OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on yourheadlights. Failure to do so could cause
an accident injuring yourself and
others.

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is not a
malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, air flow from the foot outlets will
operate normally.
The sensors
*1and*2, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’sozone layer.However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommendations”
(P.10-6) .)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently,
replace the filter according the specified main-
tenance intervals listed in the "9. Maintenance
and schedules" section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.
