is designed to inflate on the side 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 head of occupants in front
and rear (2nd and 3rd) 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 roll-
over, the curtain air bags on both sides
are designed 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 tosupplement the crash pro-
tection provided by the driver and pas-
senger 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.1-20) for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is 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 systems
are operational.
Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55

Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far-away as practical
from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat
belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags. Failure to properly wear
seat belts can increase the risk
or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifi-
cation sensors (weight sensors)
that turn the front passenger air
bag and front passenger knee air
bag OFF under some conditions.
These sensors are only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-63).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could increase the risk of injury if the
front air bag inflates.

system may determine a sensor
malfunction has occurred and the
front passenger air bag status
light may illuminate and the sup-
plemental 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 re-
straint contacts the instrument
panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the
system may determine the seat is
occupied and the passenger air
bag and front passenger knee air
bag may deploy in a collision.
Also the front passenger air bag
status light may not illuminate.
See “Child restraints” (P.1-32) for
information about installing and
using child restraints.
. Confirm the operating condition
with the front passenger air bag
status light.
. If you notice that the front pas-
senger air bag status light is not
operating as described in this
section, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer to check the
passenger seat Advanced Air Bag
System. .
Until you have confirmed with
your dealer that your passenger
seat advanced air bag is working
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. This system is
designed to meet certification require-
ments under U.S. regulations. It is also
permitted in Canada. All of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the
steering wheel. The passenger supple-
mental front-impact air bag is mounted in
the instrument panel 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 inflate in certain frontal
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is
not always an indication of proper front
air bag operation.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
monitors information from the Air bag
Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle sen-
sors and the occupant classification sen- sors (weight sensors). Inflator operation is
based on the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage for the driver. For the
front passenger, the occupant classifica-
tion sensors are also monitored. Based on
information from the sensors, only one
front air bag may inflate in a crash,
depending on the crash severity and
whether the front occupants are belted
or unbelted. Additionally, the front pas-
senger air bag and front passenger knee
air bag may be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions, depending on the
information provided by the occupant
classification sensors. If the front passen-
ger air bag and front 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 illumi-
nated, but the air bag will be off). (See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
(P.1-63) for further details.) 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 you visit a
NISSAN dealer to obtain information
about the system. If you are considering
modification of your vehicle due to a
disability, you may also contact NISSAN.
Contact information is contained in the
front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front 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.
Front air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the head and chest of the front occu-
pants. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an in-
flating front air bag may cause facial
abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags,
other than the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s knee air bags, do not provide
restraint to the lower body.
Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat
belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and 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 increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against,
the air bag module during inflation.
The front air bags deflate quickly after a
collision.
The front air bags operate only whenthe ignition switch is 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.

.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.1-32).)
. 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
