Front passenger air bag and status light

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn OFF under some conditions. Read this section carefully to learn how it operates. Proper use of the seat, seat belt and child restraints is necessary for most effective protection.

restraint mode). Based on the weight on the seat detected by the occupant classification sensor and the belt tension detected on the seat belt, the advanced air bag system determines whether the front passenger air bag should be automatically turned OFF as required by the regulations.

sensors are designed to operate as described above to turn the front passenger air bag OFF for specified child restraints as required by the regulations. Failing to properly secure child re- strains and to use the automatic locking 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 inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. See “Child restraints” earlier in this section for proper use and installation.

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 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 sensor to turn the air bag OFF. In addition, if the occupant improperly uses the seat belt in the automatic locking mode (child restraint mode), this could cause the air bag to be turned OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly for the most effective protection by the seat belt and supple- mental air bag. NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil- dren be properly restrained in a rear seat. NISSAN also recommends that appropriate child restraints and booster seats be properly installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant classification sensor and seat belt 1-50 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the passenger air bag is 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 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 occu- pants are seated and restrained properly. Using the passenger air bag status light, you can monitor when the front passenger air bag is automatically turned OFF with the seat occu- pied. The light will not illuminate when the front passenger seat is unoccupied. If an adult occupant passenger air bag status light

the is illuminated

is in the seat but

(indicating that the air bag is OFF), it could be that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seat properly or is not using the seat belt properly.

If a child restraint must be used in the front seat, the passenger air bag status light may or may not be illuminated, depending on the size of the child and the type of child restraint being used. If the 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 prop- erly and the occupant is positioned properly. If the air bag status light is still not illuminated, reposition the occupant or child restraint in a rear seat.

If the passenger air bag status light will not illuminate even though you believe that the child restraint, the seat belt and the occupant are properly positioned, the system may be sensing an unoccupied 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 air bag system and passenger air bag status light will take a few seconds to register a change

墌 06.7.5/Z50-D/V5.0 墍

in the passenger seat status. For example, if a large adult who is sitting in the front passenger seat exits the vehicle, the passenger air bag status light will change from OFF to ON for a few seconds and then to OFF. This is normal system operation and does not indicate a malfunction.

If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air bag system, the supplemental air bag warning located in the meter and gauges light area, will blink. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. Other supplemental front air bag precautions

WARNING

쐌 Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instru- ment panel. Also, do not place any objects between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause in- jury if the supplemental front air bag inflates.

쐌 Immediately after inflation, several front air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

쐌 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 supplemental air bag or dam- age to the supplemental air bag sys- tem.

쐌 Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental air bag system.

쐌 Tampering with the supplemental front air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering wheel and the instrument panel as- sembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the instrument panel or by installing ad-

ditional trim material around the air bag system.

쐌 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 additional trim material, such as seat covers, on the seat that are not specifically designed to as- sure proper air bag operation. Addi- tionally, do not stow any objects un- der the front passenger seat or the seat cushion and seatback. Such ob- jects may interfere with the proper operation of the occupant classifica- tion sensor (pressure sensor).

쐌 No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the seat belt system. This may affect the supplemental front air bag sys- tem. Tampering with the seat belt system may result in serious per- sonal injury.

though they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity side impact. They are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in certain side collisions. Curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of roll- over collisions or near rollovers. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag operation. When the supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag inflate, 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. Supplemental side air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest of the front occupants. Curtain side- impact and rollover air bags help to cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in the front and rear outboard seating positions. They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag may cause abra- sions or other injuries. Supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air

SSS0190

Supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag systems The supplemental side air bags are located in the outside of the seatback of the front seats. The supplemental curtain side-impact and roll- over air bags are located in the side roof rails. These systems are designed to meet voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of injury to out-of-position occupants. However, all of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed. The supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions, al-

bags do not provide restraint to the lower body. The seat belts should be correctly worn and the driver and passenger seated upright as far as practical away from the supplemental side air bag. 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 side-impact and rollover air bags inflate quickly in order the front and rear outboard occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag 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 bag will deflate quickly after the collision is over. The curtain side-impact and rollover air bags will remain inflated for a while. The supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START position. After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

쐌 Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door fin- isher and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side air bag inflates.

쐌 Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain side-impact and roll- over air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

쐌 No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag or damage to the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag system.

쐌 Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system or side panel. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system.

쐌 Tampering with the supplemental system may result in serious per- sonal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material near the seatback or by in- stalling additional trim material, such as seat covers, around the side air bag.

쐌 Work around and on the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec- trical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring harnesses* should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electri- cal test equipment and probing de- vices should not be used on the side air bag system.

WARNING

쐌 The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused after activation. It must be replaced together with the retractor and buckle as a unit.

쐌 If the vehicle becomes involved in a frontal collision but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure to have the pre-tensioner system checked and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN dealer.

쐌 No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental activa- tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt operation. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat belt system may result in serious personal injury.

쐌 Work around and on the pre- tensioner seat belt system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa- tion of electrical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. Unauthorized electrical test equip- ment and probing devices should not be used on the pre-tensioner seat belt system.

쐌 If you need to dispose of the pre- tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con- tact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre- tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.

1-54 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system activates in conjunction with the supplemental front air bag system. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occu- pants.

Also, the front seat pre-tensioner seat belt sys- tem activates in conjunction with the supple- mental side-impact/rollover air bag system. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of rollover collisions or rear rollovers. The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s retractor. These seat belts are used the same as conventional seat belts. When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard. The 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. If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn- ing light will not come on, will flash inter- mittently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on after the ignition switch has been turned to

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so equipped) The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors when the system is armed. is not, however, a motion detection type system that

It

activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle components in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible. Many devices offering additional protection, such as component locks, identification markers, and tracking systems, are available at auto sup- ply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment. Check with your insurance company to see if you may be eligible for discounts for various theft protection fea- tures. The vehicle security system provides visual and audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are disturbed.
