WARNING
• The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of
the front seat or near the side roof
rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in
the front seats or rear outboard seats
to extend their hand out of the win-
dow or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the previous
illustrations.
WARNING
• When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you
may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who
should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of danger-
ous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
• Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
side air bag inflation.

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the pas-
senger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, please observe the following
items.
• Do not allow a passenger in the rear
bench seats to push or pull on the
seatback pocket.
• Do not place heavy loads heavier
than 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) on the seatback,
head restraint or in the seatback
pocket.
• Do not store luggage behind the seat
that can press into the seatback.
• Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear bench
seats. If the front seat does contact
the rear bench seats, the air bag sys-
tem may determine a sensor mal-
function has occurred and the front
passenger air bag status light may
illuminate and the supplemental air
bag warning light may flash. •
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 as occupied and the passenger
air bag and passenger knee air bag
may deploy in a collision. Also the
front passenger air bag status light
may not illuminate. For additional
information, see “Child restraints”
(P. 1-28).
• Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status
light.
• If you notice that the front passenger
air bag status light is not operating
as described in this section, get the
occupant classification system
checked. It is recommended that you
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
• Until you have confirmed with a
dealer that your passenger seat oc-
cupant classification system is work-
ing properly, position the occupants
in the rear seating positions. This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats.
All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual still 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
dashboard 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 not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle
damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper front air bag system op-
eration.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the crash zone
sensor and the Air bag Control Unit (ACU).
Inflator operation is based on the severity
of a collision and seat belt usage for the
driver. For the front passenger, the occu-
pant classification sensor is also moni-
tored. Based upon the information from
the sensor, only one front air bag may in-
flate in a crash, depending on the crash
severity. Additionally, the front passenger
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-61

air bag and passenger knee air bag may be
automatically turned off under some con-
ditions, depending on the weight detected
on the front passenger seat and how the
seat belt is used. If the front passenger air
bag and passenger knee air bag are OFF,
the front passenger air bag status light will
be illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied,
the light will not be illuminated, but the air
bag will be off ). For additional information,
see “Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-63). One front air bag inflating
does not indicate improper performance
of the system.
If you have any questions about your air
bag system, it is recommended that you
contact NISSAN or a NISSAN dealer. If you
are considering modification of your ve-
hicle due to a disability, you may also con-
tact NISSAN. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner's Manual.
When a front air bag inflates, a fairly loud
noise may be heard, followed by the re-
lease of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken to not inhale it, as it may cause irrita-
tion and choking. Those with a history of a
breathing condition should get fresh air
promptly.Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the face and chest of the front occupants.
They can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, an inflating front air
bag may cause facial abrasions or other
injuries. Front air bags, other than the driv-
er’s knee air bag, do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
Even with NISSAN Advanced Air Bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and front passenger seated upright
as far as practical away from the steering
wheel or instrument panel. The front air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect
the front occupants. Because of this, the
force of the front air bag inflating can in-
crease the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, the front air bag
module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly af ter a
collision.
The front air bags operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
Af ter 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
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.

Front passenger air bag and status light
WARNING
The front passenger air bag and front
passenger supplemental knee air bag
is designed to automatically turn OFF
under some conditions. Read this sec-
tion carefully to learn how it operates.
Proper use of the seat, seat belt and
child restraints is necessary for most
effective protection. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual concerning
the use of seats, seat belts and child
restraints can increase the risk or se-
verity of injury in an accident.
Status light
The front passenger seat is equipped with
an occupant classification sensor (weight
sensor) that turns the front passenger air
bag and passenger knee air bag on or off
depending on the weight applied to the
front passenger seat. The status of the
front passenger air bag and passenger
knee air bag (ON or OFF) is indicated by the
front passenger air bag status light
which is located on the instrument panel.
Af ter the ignition switch is placed in the
"ON" position, the front passenger air bag
status light on the instrument panel illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off or remains illuminated depending on
the front passenger seat occupied status.
The light operates as follows:
• Unoccupied front passenger's seat: The
light is OFF and the front passenger
air bag is OFF and will not inflate in a
crash. • Front passenger seat occupied by a
small adult, child or child restraint as out-
lined in this section: The
light may or
may not illuminate, depending on the size
of the occupant or the type of child re-
straint being used. When the
light is
illuminated, the front passenger air bag is
OFF and will not inflate in a crash. For
additional information, see “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” (P. 1-63).
• Occupied front passenger seat and the passenger meets the conditions as out-
lined in this section: The
light is OFF
to indicate that the front passenger air
bag is operational.
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, see “Normal
operation” (P. 1-65) and “Troubleshooting”
(P. 1-65).
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag and passen-
ger knee air bag are designed to automati-
cally turn OFF when the vehicle is operated
under some conditions as described be-
low in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag and passenger
WRS0475
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-63

knee air bag are 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 passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requir-
ing the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF under some conditions. Certain sen-
sors 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 up to
the approximate size and weight of a one
year old is properly restrained in the front
passenger seat, the NISSAN Advanced Air
Bag System is designed to turn the front
passenger air bag and passenger knee air
bag OFF. For a properly restrained child
who is larger than the approximate size
and weight of a one year old, the front pas-
senger air bag may or may not be auto-
matically turned OFF, depending on the
size of the child and the type of child re-
straint being used. Af ter installing the child
restraint and positioning the child, place
the ignition switch in the ON position: if the
front passenger air bag status light is illu-
minated, the front passenger air bag andpassenger knee air bag are OFF. If the front
passenger air bag status light is not illumi-
nated, the air bag will inflate in a crash.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt
as outlined in this manual should not
cause the front passenger air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small adults
it may be turned OFF, however if the occu-
pant 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 sensor to turn the front passen-
ger air bag and passenger knee air bag
OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wear-
ing the seat belt properly for the most ef-
fective 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 classifica-
tion sensor is designed to operate as de-
scribed above to turn the front passenger
air bag and passenger knee air bag OFF for
specified child restraints as required by the
regulations. Failing to properly secure childrestraints and to use the ALR mode may
allow the restraint to tip or move in a colli-
sion or sudden stop. This can also result in
the passenger air bag and passenger knee
air bag inflating in a crash instead of being
OFF. For additional information, see “Child
restraints” (P. 1-28).
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag and 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 classification sensor. Other
conditions could also result in air bag infla-
tion, such as if a child is standing on the
seat, or if two children are on the seat, con-
trary to the instructions in this manual. Al-
ways be sure that you and all vehicle occu-
pants are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status
light, you can monitor when the front pas-
senger air bag and passenger knee air bag
are automatically turned OFF with the seat
occupied. The light will not illuminate when
the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is illu-
minated (indicating that the front passen-
ger air bag and passenger knee air bag are
