INSTRUMENT PANEL

1-32Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far-away as practical
from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat
belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with an occupant clas-
sification sensor (pattern sensor)
that turns the front passenger air
bag OFF under some conditions.
This sensor is only used in this
seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-38).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could
increase the risk of injury if the supplemental front air bag in-
flates.

tion.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has
dual stage air bag inflators. The system
monitors information from the crash
zone sensor, the Air bag Control Unit
(ACU), seat belt buckle switches and the
occupant classification sensor (pattern
sensor). Inflator operation is based on
the severity of a collision and seat belt
usage for the driver. For the front pas-
senger, the occupant classification sensor
is also monitored. Based on information
from the sensors, only one front air bag
may inflate in a crash, depending on the
crash severity and whether the front
occupants are belted or unbelted. Addi-
tionally, the front passenger air bag may
be automatically turned OFF under some
conditions, depending on the information
provided by the occupant classification
sensor. If the front passenger air bag is
OFF, the front passenger air bag status
light will be illuminated (if the seat is
unoccupied, the light will not be illumi-
nated, but the air bag will be off). (See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
(P.1-38) for further details.) One front air
bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer to obtain informationabout the system. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a
disability, you may also contact a NISSAN
dealer. Contact information 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 release
of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and
does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to 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 head and chest of the front occu-
pants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an in-
flating 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 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 air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.
The supplemental front air bags oper-
ate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the system
is operational.

WARNING
The front passenger air bag is de-
signed to automatically turn OFF
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
seat belt and child restraints is ne-
cessary for most effective protec-
tion. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual concern-
ing the use of seats, seat belts andchild restraints can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an accident.
Status light:
The front passenger air bag status light
is located on the instrument panel.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the front passenger air bag
status light illuminates for about 7 sec-
onds and then turns off or illuminates
depending on the front passenger seat
occupied status. The light operates as
follows:
. Unoccupied front passenger seat: The
is OFF and the front passenger 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
illu-
minates to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is OFF and will not
inflate in a crash.
. Occupied front passenger seat and
the front passenger meets the condi-
tions outlined in this section: The light
is OFF to indicate that the front
passenger air bag is operational.
Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF when the
vehicle is operated under some condi-
tions as described below as permitted by
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 passen-
ger seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automatically
turned OFF.
The occupant classification sensor (pat-
tern sensor) is in the front passenger seat
cushion and is designed to detect an
occupant and objects on the seat. For
example, if a child is in the front passen-
ger seat, the Advanced Air Bag System is
designed to turn the front passenger air
bag OFF in accordance with the regula-
tions. Also, if a child restraint of the type
specified in the regulations is on the seat,
the occupant classification sensor can
detect it and cause the air bag to turn
OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and using the
seat belt as outlined in this manual
should not cause the front passenger air
bag to be automatically turned OFF. For
small adults it may be turned OFF, how-

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.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT AND ROOF/DOOR-MOUNTED
CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT AND ROLL-
OVER (if so equipped) SUPPLEMEN-
TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS
The side air bags are located in the
outside of the seatback of the front seats.
The curtain air bags are located in the
side roof rails (Coupe) or upper side of the
door trim (Roadster). All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.
The side air bags and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in higher severity side
collisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity side
impact. They are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
They may not inflate in certain side
collisions.
Roof-mounted curtain air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of
rollover collisions or near rollovers (Coupe
models). As a result, certain vehicle move-
ments may cause the curtain air bags to
inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper supple-
mental side air bag and curtain air bag
operation.
When side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate a fire.
Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those
with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest and pelvis of the front occu-
pants. Curtain air bags help to cushion
the impact force to the head of occu-
pants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, inflating
side air bags and curtain air bags may
cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air

SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS
(front seats)
WARNING
.The pretensioners cannot be re-
used after activation. They must
be replaced together with the
retractor and buckle as a unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in
a collision but a pretensioner is
not activated, be sure to have the
pretensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the pretensioner sys-
tem. This is to prevent damage to
or accidental activation of the
pretensioners. Tampering with
the pretensioner system may re-
sult in serious personal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the pretensioner system.
It is also recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for installation of
electrical equipment. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not
be used on the pretensioner sys-
tem.
. If you need to dispose of the
pretensioner or scrap the vehicle,
it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Correct pretensioner disposal
procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Man-
ual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate
with the supplemental air bag system in
certain types of collisions. Working with
the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the
seat belt when the vehicle becomes
involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat
belt retractor. These seat belts are used
the same way as conventional seat belts.
When a pretensioner seat belt activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise may
be heard. The smoke is not harmful, and it
does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to inhale it as it may cause
irritation and choking. Those with a
history of a breathing condition should
get fresh air promptly. After pretensioner activation, load limiters
allow the seat belt to release webbing (if
necessary) to reduce forces against the
chest.
The supplemental air bag warning lightis used to indicate malfunctions in
the pretensioner system. (See “Supple-
mental air bag warning light” (P.1-44) for
more details.) If the operation of the
supplemental air bag warning light indi-
cates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the seat belt
pretensioners and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this Owner’s Man-
ual.
