WARNING
●The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright in
the seat. The side air bag and curtain air
bag inflate with great force. Do not al-
low anyone to place their hand, leg or
face near the side air bag on the side of
the seatback of the front seat or near
the side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear out-
board seats (if so equipped) to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the previous illustrations.
WARNING
● When sitting in the rear seat (if so
equipped) , do not hold onto the seat-
back of the front seat. If the side air bag
inflates, you may be seriously injured.
Be especially careful with children, who
should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding
positions are shown in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with side
air bag inflation.

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items.
●Do not allow a passenger in the rear
bench seats (if so equipped) to push or
pull on the seatback pocket.
● Do not place heavy loads heavier than
1 kg (2.2 lb) on the seatback, head re-
straint or in the seatback pocket.
● Do not store luggage behind the seat
that can press into the seatback.
● Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear bench seats
(if so equipped) . If the front seat does
contact the rear bench seats (if so
equipped) , the air bag system may de-
termine a sensor malfunction has oc-
curred and the front passenger air bag
status light may illuminate and the
supplemental air bag warning light may
flash. ●
If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat as occu-
pied and the passenger air bag may
deploy in a collision. Also the front pas-
senger air bag status light may not illu-
minate. For additional information
about installing and using child re-
straints, refer to “Child restraints” in
this section.
● Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
● If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section, get the occupant
classification system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you take your vehicle to
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
● Until you have confirmed with your
dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in the
rear seating positions (if so equipped) .
Do not use the front seat or transport a
child in the vehicle (Single Cab) . This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats.
All of the information, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual still ap-
ply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supplemental front-impact air
bag is mounted in the dashboard above the glove
box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity frontal collisions, although they
may inflate if the forces in another type of collision
are similar to those of a higher severity frontal
impact. They may not inflate in certain frontal
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper front air bag sys-
tem operation.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System monitors
information from the crash zone sensor and the
Air bag Control Unit (ACU) . 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 upon the information from the sensor, only
one front air bag may inflate in a crash, depending
on the crash severity. Additionally, the front pas-
senger air bag may be automatically turned off
under some conditions, depending on the weight
detected on the front passenger seat and how
the seat belt is used. If the front passenger air bag
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-59

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) . For additional information, refer to “Front
passenger air bag and status light” in this section.
One front air bag inflating does not indicate im-
proper performance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you contact
NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. If you are consid-
ering modification of your vehicle due to a disabil-
ity, you may also contact NISSAN. Contact infor-
mation is contained in the front of this Owner’s
Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud noise
may be heard, followed by the release of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a
fire. Care should be taken to not 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 face 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
front 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 front air bag module during infla-
tion.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
Front passenger air bag and status light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF under some condi-
tions. 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 con-
cerning the use of seats, seat belts and
child restraints can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.

Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with an
occupant classification sensor (weight sensor)
that turns the front passenger air bag on or off
depending on the weight applied to the front
passenger seat. The status of the front passen-
ger air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by the front
passenger air bag status light
which is
located on the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the front passenger air bag status light
on the instrument panel illuminates for about
7 seconds and then turns off or remains illumi-
nated depending on the front passenger seat
occupied status. The light operates as follows:
● Unoccupied front passenger’s seat:
The
light is OFF and the front passen-
ger 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
light may or may not
illuminate, depending on the size of the oc-
cupant or the type of child restraint being
used. When the
light is illuminated,
the front passenger air bag is OFF and will
not inflate in a crash. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag” in this
section. ●
Occupied front passenger seat and the pas-
senger meets the conditions as outlined in
this section: The
light is OFF to indi-
cate that the front passenger air bag is op-
erational.
In addition to the above, certain objects placed
on the front passenger seat may also cause the
light to operate as described above depending
on their weight.
For additional information related to the normal
operation and troubleshooting of this occupant
classification sensor system, please refer to
“Normal operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this
section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to auto-
matically turn OFF when the vehicle is operated
under some conditions as described below in
accordance with 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 auto-
matically turned OFF under some conditions.
Certain sensors are used to meet the require-
ments. The occupant classification sensor in this vehicle
is a weight sensor. It is designed to detect an
occupant and objects on the seat by weight. For
example, if a child up to the approximate size and
weight of a one year old is properly restrained in
the front passenger seat, the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag OFF. For a properly restrained
child who is larger than the approximate size and
weight of a one year old, the front passenger air
bag may or may not be automatically turned OFF,
depending on the size of the child and the type of
child restraint being used. After installing the
child restraint and positioning the child, place the
ignition switch in the ON position: if the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated, the
air bag is OFF. If the front passenger air bag
status light is not illuminated, the air bag will
inflate in a crash.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as out-
lined 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 takes his/her weight off
the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting up-
right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position) , this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be
sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt
