the belt is away from the child’s
face and neck and the lap portion
of the belt does not cross the
stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the
child’s arm.
. A booster seat must only be
installed in a seating position that
has a lap/shoulder belt.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important in-
formation concerning the following sys-
tems:
.Driver and front passenger supple-
mental front-impact air bag (NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System)
. Driver and front passenger supple-
mental knee air bag
. Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag
. Rear outboard seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag
. Front central seat-mounted side-im-
pact supplemental air bag (if so
equipped)
. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact
and rollover supplemental air bag
. Seat belt with pretensioner (front and
rear outboard seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem: The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Driver and front passenger supplemen-
tal knee air bag system: This system can
help cushion the impact force to the
driver’s and front passenger’s knees in
certain collisions. Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag system:This system
can help cushion the impact force to the
chest and pelvic area of the driver and
front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The side air bag is designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
Rear outboard seat-mounted side-im-
pact supplemental air bag system:
This
system can help cushion the impact force
to the chest and pelvic area of the rear
outboard seat passengers in certain side-
impact collisions. The side air bags are
designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted.
Front central seat-mounted side-im-
pact supplemental air bag (if so
equipped): This system can help cushion
the impact force to the head area of the
driver and front passenger in certain side-
impact collisions. The front central side-
impact air bag is designed to inflate in the
front central area where the vehicle is
impacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system:
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the heads of occupants in front
and rear outboard seating positions in
certain side impact or rollover collisions.
In a side-impact, the curtain air bags are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the
curtain air bags on both sides are de-
signed to inflate. Under both side-impact
and rollover situations, the curtain air
bags will remain inflated for a short
period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to
supplement the crash pro-
tection provided by the driver, passenger
and rear outboard seat belts and are not
a substitute for them. Seat belts should
always be correctly worn and the occu-
pant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument pa-
nel and door finishers. (See “Seat belts”
(P.1-13) for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After the ignition is placed in 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 systems
are operational.
