monitors the circuits for the air bag sys-
tems, pretensioner(s) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
or START position, the supplemental air
bag warning light illuminates for about
7 seconds and then turns off. This means
the system is operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and pretensioner systems need servicing:
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light remains on af ter approximately 7 sec-
onds.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner
systems may not operate properly. They
must be checked and repaired. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.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 pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN

you wish to return to the mode that was
selected before the warning occurred. The
DTE mark will remain blinking until the ve-
hicle is refueled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
DTE display will change to (----).NOTE:
∙ If the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is off is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be dis-
played.
∙When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shif ts, which may
momentarily change the display.
