straint contacting the roof.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions.
Restart the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed dur-
ing which the front passenger air bag
status light will remain lit for about 7
seconds initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be
repositioned in the rear seat and it is
recommended that the vehicle should be
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.

Other supplemental front-impact
air bag precautions
WARNING
.Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel pad or on the
instrument panel. Also, do not place any objects between any
occupant and the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if the front
air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp
edges on the seat. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the seat
that will leave permanent impres-
sions in the seat. Such objects
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensors (weight
sensors). This can affect the op-
eration of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic clea-
ners (hot steam cleaners) on the
seat. This can damage the seat or
occupant classification sensors.
This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in
serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, sev-
eral front air bag system compo-
nents will be hot. Do not touch
them; you may severely burn
yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supple-
mental air bag or damage to the
supplemental air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
front end structure. This could
affect proper operation of the
front air bag system.
. Tampering with the front air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. Tampering includes
changes to the steering wheel
and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the
instrument panel or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.
. Removing or modifying the front
passenger seat may affect the
function of the air bag system
and result in serious personal
injury.
. Modifying or tampering with the
front passenger seat may result
in serious personal injury. For
example, do not change the front
seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing ad-

WAB0048XFront passenger’s side
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper knee air
bag operation.
When the knee 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.
The knee air bag helps to cushion the
impact force on the knees of the driver
and front passenger. It can help reduce
serious injuries. However, an inflating
knee air bag may cause abrasions orother injuries. The knee air bag provides
restraint to the lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order
to help protect the occupants. Because of
this, the force of the knee air bag inflating
can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against,
this air bag module during inflation. The
knee air bag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over OR the knee air bag will
remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bag operates only when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch 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 system
is operational.
WARNING
.
Do not place any objects between
the knee bolster and the driver’s
or front passenger’s seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a
knee air bag inflates. .
Right after inflation, the knee air
bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the knee air bag system.
This is to prevent damage to or
accidental inflation of the knee
air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system or suspension system.
This could affect proper opera-
tion of the knee air bag system.
. Tampering with the knee air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the driver or front pas-
senger knee bolster or install
additional trim material around
the knee air bag.
. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the knee air bag. It is also
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for installation of
electrical equipment. The SRS
wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equip-

belts, helps to cushion the impact force
on the head area of the front occupants.
Curtain air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head and chest area
of occupants in the front and rear out-
board seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating side air bag or
curtain air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver, front passenger and rear
outboard occupants seated upright as far
as practical away from the side air bags.
Rear seat passengers should be seated as
far away as practical from the door
finishers and side roof rails. The side air
bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect the occupants.
Because of this, the force of the side air
bags and curtain air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant
is too close to, or is against, these air bag
modules during inflation. The side air
bags will deflate quickly after the collision
is over. The front central side air bag and
curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch isin the ON position.
After placing the ignition switch 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.
WARNING
.
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front and rear
seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)
between the front and rear door
finisher, the center console, and
the front and rear seats. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a
side air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side
air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tem components will be hot. Do
not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental
inflation of the side air bag and curtain air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
side panel. This could affect prop-
er operation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
. Tampering with the side air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front and rear seats
by placing material near the seat-
backs or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers,
around the side air bag.
. Removing or modifying the front
and rear passenger seat may
affect the function of the air bag
system and result in serious per-
sonal 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

— There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the
road surface.
— The vehicle is driving through a draped flag or a curtain.
— The vehicle is driving on a steep hill.
— There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehi-
cle.
— An ultrasonic wave source, such as another vehicle’s so-
nar, is near the vehicle.
. Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate
again if the vehicle approaches
the same obstacle.
. The automatic brake control can
only operate for a short period of
time. Therefore, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. In the following situations, the
RAB system may not operate
properly or may not function
sufficiently: — The vehicle is driven in bad
weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
— The vehicle’s posture is chan- ged (e.g., when driving over a
bump).
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
— The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel
fully.
— Snow chains are used.
— Wheels or tires other than NISSAN recommended are
used.
— The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or im-
mediately after driving has
started.
— The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes after
driving through a puddle or
washing the vehicle.
. Turn the RAB system off in the
following conditions to prevent
the occurrence of an unexpected
accident resulting from sudden
system operation: — The vehicle is towed.
— The vehicle is carried on a
flatbed truck.
— The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
— The vehicle drives on an un- even road surface.
— Suspension parts other than those designated as genuine
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body
inclination is changed, the
system may not detect an
obstacle correctly.)
