WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the front
passenger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System, please observe the following
items.
• Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.
• Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback,
head restraint/headrest or in the
seatback pocket.
• Make sure that there is nothing pressing against the rear of the
seatback, such as a child restraint
installed in the rear seat or an object
stored on the floor.
• Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger
seat.
• Make sure that there is no object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door. • If a forward-facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts
the instrument panel. If the child re-
straint does contact the instrument
panel, the system may determine
the seat is occupied and the passen-
ger air bag may deploy in a collision.
Also the front passenger air bag sta-
tus light may not illuminate. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Child
restraints” in this section.
• Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag sta-
tus light.
• If you notice that the front passen- ger air bag status light is not operat-
ing as described in this section, get
the occupant classification system
checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• Until you have confirmed with a dealer that your passenger seat oc-
cupant classification system is
working properly, position the occu-
pants in the rear seating positions. • Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear seat. If
the front seat does contact the rear
seat, the air bag system may deter-
mine 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.
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada. All of the information, cautions
and warnings in this manual apply 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 in-
strument panel 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
