2018 NISSAN VERSA NOTE ignition

When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Af ter the pretensioner(s’) activation, load
limiters allow the seat belt to release web-
bing (if necessary) to reduce forces against
the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning
light
is used to indicate malfunctions
in the pretensioner(s) system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Supplemental
air bag warning light” in this section. If the
operation of the supplemental air bag
warning light indicates there is a malfunc-
tion, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the preten-
sioner system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s
Manual.
