.Once a seat belt pretensioner has
activated, it cannot be reused and
must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hard-
ware, should be inspected after
any collision. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. NISSAN recommends that
all seat belt assemblies in use
during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor
and the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.
Seat belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Always follow
the restraint manufacturer’s in-
spection instructions and repla-
cement recommendations. The
child restraints should be re-
placed if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front
seats are equipped with a seat belt
warning light. The warning light, located
in the meters and gauges area, will show
the status of the driver and passenger
seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warning
light will not illuminate if the seat is not
occupied.
For additional information, refer to “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” (P.2-10).
PREGNANT WOMEN
NISSAN recommends that pregnant wo-
men use seat belts. The seat belt should
be worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips,
not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the lap/shoulder belt over your
abdominal area. Contact your doctor for
specific recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific re-
commendations.
THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
.Every person who drives or rides
in this vehicle should use a seat
belt at all times. Children should
be in the rear seats and in an
appropriate restraint.
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle
when the seatback is reclined.
This can be dangerous. The
shoulder belt will not be against
your body. In an accident, you
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-13

WARNING
.It is recommended that only
NISSAN seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, be used with NISSAN seat
belts.
. Adults and children who can use
the standard seat belt should not
use an extender. Such unneces-
sary use could result in serious
personal injury in the event of an
accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly,
the child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision or a
sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply
a mild soap solution or any solution
recommended for cleaning upholstery
or carpets. Then wipe with a cloth and
allow the seat belts to dry in the
shade. Do not allow the seat belts to
retract until they are completely dry. .
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the
seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe the
shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry
cloth.
. Periodically check to see that the
seat belt and the metal components,
such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors, work prop-
erly. If loose parts, deterioration, cuts
or other damage on the webbing is
found, the entire seat belt assembly
should be replaced.
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If
the seat belt becomes wrapped
around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be
seriously injured or killed if the seat
belt retracts and becomes tight. This
can occur even if the vehicle is
parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to
release the child. If the seat belt can
not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, release the child by cutting
the seat belt with a suitable tool
(such as a knife or scissors) to
release the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect
them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, in-
cluding doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community or-
ganizations. Every child is different, so be
sure to learn the best way to transport
your child.

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.

sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing
material near the seatbacks or by
installing additional trim materi-
al, such as seat covers, around
the side air bag.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the side air bag and
curtain air bag. It is also recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The Supplemental Re-
straint 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 side air bag or
curtain air bag systems.
*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 side air
bag and curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to the appropriate sec-
tions in this Owner’s Manual.
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, repaired. 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 a pre-
tensioner 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 Manual. 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 activates, smoke is
released and a loud noise may be heard.
The 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 breath-
ing condition should get fresh air

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits for the air bag
systems, pretensioners and all related
wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates for about 7 seconds
and then turns off. This means the system
is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur,
the air bag and/or pretensioner systems
need servicing: .
The supplemental air bag warning
light remains on after approximately
7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning
light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/
or pretensioner systems may not operate
properly. They must be checked and
repaired. It is recommended 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 recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pretensioners are designed
to activate on a one-time-only basis. As a
reminder, unless it is damaged, the sup-
plemental air bag warning light will re-
main illuminated after inflation has
occurred. These systems should be re-
paired and/or replaced as soon as possi-
ble. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

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.

equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services. .
Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check.
Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.
