PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the driver and passenger front im-
pact supplemental air bags, front seat side-
impact supplemental air bags, curtain air
bags and front seat pre-tensioner seat belts.
Front impact supplemental air bag sys-
tem: This system can help cushion the
impact force to the face and chest of the
driver and front passenger in certain frontal
collisions.
Side-impact supplemental air bag sys-
tem: This system can help cushion the
impact force to the chest area of the driver
and front passenger in certain side impact
collisions. The front seat side-impact
supplemental air bags are designed to in-
flate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted.
Side impact supplemental curtain air bag
system: This system can help cushion the
impact force to the head of occupants in
front and rear outboard seating positions in
certain side impact collisions. The curtain
air bags are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to the crash protec-supplement
tion provided by the driver and front passen-
ger seat belts and are fornot a substitute
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the occupant seated a suitable
distance away from the steering wheel, in-
strument panel and door finishers. (See
‘‘Seat belts’’ later in this section for instruc-
tions and precautions on seat belt usage.)
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental
air bag warning light will turn off after
about 7 seconds if the systems are op-
erational.

Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-13
Supplemental front air bag system
The driver supplemental air bag is located in
the center of the steering wheel; the front
passenger supplemental air bag is mounted in
the dashboard above the glove box. These
systems are designed to meet optional certi-
fication requirements under U.S. regulations.
They are also permitted in Canada. The op-
tional certification allows front air bags to be
designed to inflate somewhat less forcefully
than previously. However, all of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this manual
still apply and must be followed. 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 supplemental
air bag operation.
The supplemental air bag system has dual
stage inflators for both the driver and pas-
senger air bags. The system monitors infor-
mation from the crash zone sensor, the
diagnosis sensor unit and seat belt buckle
sensors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. Inflator operation is based on the
severity of a collision and whether the seat
belts are being used.
When the supplemental front air bag in-
flates, 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 front air bags, along with the
LRS0104
1-14 Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems
Supplemental side air bag and cur-
tain air bag system (if so equipped)
The supplemental side air bags are located
in the outside of the seatback of the front
seats. The supplemental curtain air bags
are located in the roof side 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 air bags are designed to inflate
in higher severity side collisions, although
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. Vehicle damage (or lack of
it) is not always an indication of proper
supplemental side air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag and
curtain 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 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 air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Supplemental side air bags
and curtain air 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 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 air bag inflate quickly in order to help
protect the front occupants. Because of this,
the force of the side air bag and curtain 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 and curtain air bag will deflate
quickly after the collision is over.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if
the system is operational.
WARNING
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
finisher and the front seat. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the side
air bag inflates.

disposal procedures are set forth in
the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, your chances of being injured or
killed in an accident and/or the severity of
injury may be greatly reduced. NISSAN
strongly encourages you and all of your
passengers to buckle up every time you
drive, even if your seating position includes
a supplemental air bag.
Most U.S. states and all Canadian prov-
inces and territories, require that seat belts
be worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.
WARNING
Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be prop-
erly restrained and, if appropriate, in
a child restraint.
The belt should be properly adjusted
to a snug fit. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an acci-
dent. Serious injury or death can occur
if the seat belt is not worn properly.
ARS1134
SEAT BELTS
Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-21
seat belt assemblies in use during a
collision be replaced unless the col-
lision was minor and the belts show
no damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is
noted.
● All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after
any collision. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturers inspection in-
structions and replacement recom-
mendations. The child restraints
should be replaced if they are dam-
aged.
CHILD SAFETY
Children need adults to help protect
them. They need to be properly re-
strained.
The proper restraint depends on the child’s
size. Generally, infants up to about 1 year
and less than 20 pounds, (9 kg) should be
placed in rear facing child restraints. Forward
facing child restraints are available for chil-
dren who outgrow rear facing child restraints.
WARNING
Infants and children need special pro-
tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may
not fit them properly. The shoulder belt
may come too close to the face or neck.
The lap belt may not fit over their small
hip bones. In an accident, an improp-
erly fitting seat belt could cause seri-
ous or fatal injury. Always use appro-
priate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require the use of approved child
restraints for infants and small children. See
‘Child Restraints’ later in this section.
In addition, there are many types of child
restraints available for larger children which
should be used for maximum protection.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear
seat if possible. According to accident
statistics, children are safer when prop-
erly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat. This is especially important
because your vehicle has a supplemen-
tal restraint system (Air bag system) for
the front passenger. See ‘‘Supplemental
restraint system’ earlier in this section.
Infants and small children
NISSAN recommends that infants and small
children be placed in child restraints that
comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturers instruc-
tions for installation and use.
Larger children
Children who are too large for child re-
straints should be seated and restrained by
the seat belts which are provided.
If the child’s seating position has a shoulder
belt that fits close to the face or neck, the
use of a booster seat (commercially avail-
able) may help overcome this. The booster
seat should raise the child so that the shoul-
der belt is properly positioned across the
top, middle portion of the shoulder and the
lap belt is low on the hips. The booster seat
should fit the vehicle seat and have a label
certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once the
child has grown so the shoulder belt is no
longer on or near the face and neck, use the
shoulder belt without the booster seat.
Seats, restraints and supplemental air bag systems 1-23
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it
is not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder
belt and fasten it, an extender is available
which is compatible with the installed seat
belts. The extender adds approximately 8
inches (200 mm) of length and may be used
for either the driver or front passenger seat-
ing position. See your NISSAN dealer for
assistance if an extender is required.
WARNING
Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with NISSAN
seat belts.
Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal in-
jury in the event of an accident.
Never use seat belt extenders to in-
stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
To clean the seat belt webbings, apply
a mild soap solution or any solution rec-
ommended for cleaning upholstery or
carpet. Then wipe with a cloth and allow
the seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not
allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
If dirt builds up on the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat
belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoul-
der belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components, such
as buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible
wires and anchors, work properly. If
loose parts, deterioration, cuts or other
damage on the webbing is found, the
entire seat belt assembly should be re-
placed.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD
RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Infants and small children should
always be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while riding in the ve-
hicle. Failure to use a child restraint
can result in serious injury or death.
Infants and small children should
never be carried on your lap. It is not
possible for even the strongest adult
to resist the forces of a severe

holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the re-
straint in another seat and test it
again.
For a front-facing child restraint, if
the seat position where it is installed
has a three-point type lap/shoulder
belt, check to make sure the shoulder
belt does not go in front of the child’s
face or neck. If it does, put the shoul-
der belt behind the child restraint. If
you must install a front-facing child
restraint in the front seat, see ‘‘Instal-
lation on front passenger seat’ later
in this section for details.
When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.

WARNING
Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat.
Supplemental front air bags inflate
with great force. A rear-facing child
restraint could be struck by the
supplemental front air bag in a crash
and could seriously injure or kill
your child.
NISSAN recommends that child re-
straints be installed in the rear seat.
However, if you must install a
forward-facing child restraint in the
front passenger seat, move the pas-
senger seat to the rear most posi-
tion.
A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with a locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the retractors locking

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent
an electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to an authorized NISSAN dealer
and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned
on, its brightness or color varies slightly.
However, the color and brightness will soon
stabilize.
The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to
turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals, (for example, when the vehicle
stops at a traffic signal). Even when
the daytime running lights are active
(Canada only), the xenon headlights
do not turn on. This way the life of the
xenon headlights is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will dras-
tically decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact a
NISSAN dealer.

Failure to do so could cause the
hood to fly open and result in an
accident.
If you see steam or smoke coming
from the engine compartment, to
avoid injury do not open the hood. OPENER OPERATION
WARNING
Do not drive with the trunk lid open.
This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.

and driving’’ section of this manual.
Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the

prevent children’s access to car
keys.
The trunk lid opener lever is located below
the armrest of the driver’s door trim panel.
