eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents 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 supplemental air
bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supple-
mental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the front air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-
ditional trim material, such as
seat covers, on the seat that is
not specifically designed to as-
sure proper air bag operation.
Additionally, do not stow any
objects under the front passen-
ger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may inter-
fere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sen-
sors.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the seat belt system.
This may affect the front air bag system. Tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.
. A cracked windshield should be
replaced immediately by a quali-
fied repair facility. A cracked
windshield could affect the func-
tion of the supplemental air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.

ing.
Electric power steering warn-
ing light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the electric power steering
warning light illuminates. After starting
the engine, the electric power steering
warning light turns off. This indicates the
electric power steering is operational.
If the electric power steering warning
light illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate the electric power
steering is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running,
the power assist to the steering will cease
operation but you will still have control of
the vehicle. At this time, greater steering
efforts are required to operate the steer-
ing wheel, especially in sharp turns and at
low speeds.
(See “Electric power steering” (P.5-105).)
Electronic parking brake sys-
tem warning light (yellow) (if so
equipped)
The electronic parking brake system
warning light functions for the electronic
parking brake system. When the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position, the
light illuminates for a few seconds. If the
warning light illuminates at any other
time, it may indicate that the electronic
parking brake system is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked,
and, if necessary, repaired. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Electronic parking brake
warning light (if so equipped)
The electronic parking brake warning
light indicates that the electronic parking
brake system is operating.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the electronic parking brake
warning light illuminates. When the en-
gine is started and the parking brake is
released, the warning light turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released,
the electronic parking brake warning light
remains on. Be sure that the electronic
parking brake warning light has turned off before driving. (See “Parking brake”
(P.5-27).)
If the electronic parking brake warning
light illuminates or flashes while the
electronic parking brake system warning
light
(yellow) illuminates, it may in-
dicate that the electronic parking brake
system is not functioning properly. Have
the brake system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system warning light (if so
equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the AEB system warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
warning light turns off.
This light illuminates when the AEB sys-
tem is set to OFF on the vehicle informa-
tion display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB
system is ON, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. See “Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB)” (P.5-82) or
“Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with
pedestrian detection system” (P.5-89).

Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires
except the spare tire.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, this light illuminates for
about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information
display.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automa-
tically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must
be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
is active as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle
information display” (P.2-18), “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P.6-3).
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates
to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).
WARNING
. If the light does not illuminate
with the ignition switch placed in
the ON position, have the vehicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service as soon as possible.
. If the light illuminates while driv-
ing, avoid sudden steering man-
euvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
