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. Failing to properly secure
child restrains and to use the ALR 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.1-32) 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
being detected by the occupant classifi-
cation 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 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
illuminated (indicating that the front pas-
senger air bag and front passenger knee
air bag are OFF), it could be that the
person is a small adult, or is not sitting on
the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the
front seat, the front passenger air bag
status light may or may not be illumi-
nated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used.
If the front passenger air bag status light
is not illuminated (indicating that the air
bag might inflate in a crash), it could be
that the child restraint or seat belt is not
being used properly. Make sure that the
child restraint is installed properly, the
seat belt is used properly and the occu-
pant is positioned properly. If the front
passenger air bag status light is still not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or
child restraint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light
will not illuminate even though you be-lieve that the child restraint, the seat belts
and the occupant are properly positioned,
the system may be sensing an unoccu-
pied seat (in which case the air bag is
OFF). Your NISSAN dealer can check that
the system is OFF by using a special tool.
However, until you have confirmed with
your dealer that your air bag is working
properly, reposition the occupant or child
restraint in a rear seat.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
and front passenger air bag status light
will take a few seconds to register a
change in the front passenger seat sta-
tus. However, if the seat becomes unoc-
cupied, the front passenger air bag status
light will remain off.
If a malfunction occurs in the front
passenger air bag system, the supple-
mental air bag warning light
, located
in the meter and gauges area will blink.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Normal operation:
In order for the occupant classification
sensor system to classify the front pas-
senger based on weight, please follow the

Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires
except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, this light illuminates for
about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warning also appears in the vehicle information
display. If you select the tire pressure
information in the vehicle information
display, the Low Pressure information will
be displayed. The tire pressure for each
tire will also be displayed.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automa-
tically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must
be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a
tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low Add Air” warning
appears each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated.
