2021 NISSAN ROGUE troubleshooting

In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may
also cause the light to operate as de-
scribed above depending on their weight.
For additional information related to the
normal operation and troubleshooting of
this occupant classification sensor sys-
tem, please refer to “Normal operation”
(P.1-58) and “Troubleshooting” (P.1-59) in
this section.
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. Certain sensors are used to
meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this
vehicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the
seat by weight. For example, if a child is in
the front passenger seat, the AdvancedAir Bag System is designed to turn the
passenger air bag OFF in accordance
with the regulations. Also, if a child
restraint of the type specified in the
regulations is on the seat, its weight and
the child’s weight can be detected 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 passenger air bag
and front passenger knee air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small
adults it may be turned OFF, however, if
the occupant takes his/her weight off the
seat cushion (for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on an edge of the seat,
or by otherwise being out of position), this
could cause the sensors to turn the air
bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the seat belt
and supplemental air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. NISSAN also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the
front passenger air bag and front pas-
senger knee air bag OFF for specified
child restraints as required by the regula-
tions. Failing to properly secure child
restraints and to use the Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint
mode) may allow the restraint to tip or
move in an accident or sudden stop. This
can also result in the passenger air bag
and front passenger knee air bag inflating
in a crash instead of being OFF. (See
“Child restraints” (P.1-23) for proper use
and installation.)
If the front passenger seat is not occu-
pied, the passenger air bag and front
passenger knee air bag are designed not
to inflate in a crash. However, heavy
objects placed on the seat could result
in air bag inflation, because of the object’s
weight detected by the occupant classi-
fication sensors. Other conditions could
also result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two
children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be
sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status
light, you can monitor when the front
passenger air bag and front passenger
knee air bag are automatically turned
OFF.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the

5. Ensure proper classification by check-ing the front passenger air bag status
light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification
sensor system generally keeps the
classification locked during driving, so
it is important that you confirm that the
front passenger is properly classified
prior to driving. However, the occupant
classification sensor system may recal-
culate the weight of the occupant under
some conditions (both while driving and
when stopped), so the front passenger
seat occupant should continue to re-
main seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
.Occupant is a small adult — the front
passenger air bag status light is func-
tioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag and front passenger knee
air bag are suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small
adult, then this may be due to the
following conditions that may be interfer-
ing with the weight sensors: .
Occupant is not sitting upright, lean-
ing against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the
floor.
. A child restraint or other object press-
ing against the rear of the seatback.
. A rear passenger pushing or pulling
on the back of the front passenger
seat.
. Forcing the front seat or seatback
against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
. An object placed under the front
passenger seat.
. An object placed between the seat
cushion and center console or be-
tween the seat cushion and the door.
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 ON after this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom- mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child
or child restraint occupying the front
passenger seat.
This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
.Small adult or child is not sitting
upright, leaning against the seatback,
and centered on the seat cushion with
his/her feet comfortably extended to
the floor.
. The child restraint is not properly
installed, as outlined. (See “Child re-
straints” (P.1-23).)
. An object weighing over 9.1 lbs (4 kg)
hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.
. A child restraint or other object press-
ing against the rear of the seatback.
. A rear passenger pushing or pulling
on the back of the front passenger
seat.
. Forcing the front seat or seatback
against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
. An object placed under the front
passenger seat.
. An object placed between the seat
cushion and center console.

AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Light reminder chime
The light reminder chime will sound when
the headlight switch is placed in the
orposition after the engine was
turned off, and the driver’s door is opened
with the light is on.
Turn the light switch to the OFF (if so
equipped) or AUTO position when you
leave the vehicle.
Driving Aid chimes (if so equipped)
An audible alert/chime may be heard if
any of the following systems (if so
equipped) are active:
. Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
. Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
. Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
. Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-
BSI)
. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
. ProPILOT Assist

ual.
Door lock warning chime
When the chime sounds, be sure to check
both the vehicle and the Intelligent Key.
See “Troubleshooting guide” (P.3-13).
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first
occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake
pad, the sound will always be heard even
if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have
the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the warning sound is heard.

Some of the Driver Assistance systems use the common parts (camera, radar, etc.) to function. When a pop-up warning message
appears in the vehicle information display, or the warning light flashes/illuminates, check the system condition. For details, see
“System temporarily unavailable” and “System malfunction” sections in this Owner’s Manual for each applicable system.
