PRECAUTIONS ONSUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTSYSTEMThis Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)section contains important information
con-cerning the driver and passenger supplemen-tal front air bags,
supplemental side air bagsand pre-tensioner seat belts.Supplemental
front air bag system: Thissystem can help cushion the impact force
tothe face and chest of the driver and frontpassenger in certain
frontal collisions.Supplemental side air bag system (if
soequipped): This system can help cushion theimpact force to the
head and chest area of thedriver and front passenger in certain
sideimpact collisions. The supplemental side airbags are designed
to inflate on the side wherethe vehicle is impacted.These
supplemental restraint systems are de-signed to supplement the
crash protectionprovided by the driver and front passengerseat
belts and are not a substitute for them.Seat belts should always be
correctly wornand the driver and front passenger seated asuitable
distance away from the steeringwheel, instrument panel and front
door finish-ers. (See Seat belts later in this section for
instructions and precautions on seat belt us-age.)After turning
the ignition key to the ONposition, the supplemental air bag
warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air bagwarning light
will turn off after about 7seconds if the systems are
operational.

WARNINGI The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of aside impact, rear
impact, roll over, orlower severity frontal collision. Al-ways wear
your seat belts to helpreduce the risk or severity of injury
invarious kinds of accidents.
I The seat belts and the supplementalfront air bags are most
effective when
you are sitting well back and uprightin the seat. Front air bags
inflate withgreat force. If you are unrestrained,leaning forward,
sitting sideways orout of position in any way, you are atgreater
risk of injury or death in acrash and may also receive seriousor
fatal injuries from the supplemen-tal front air bag if you are up
againstit when it inflates. Always sit backagainst the seatback and
as far awayas practical from the steering wheel
or instrument panel. Always use theseat belts.
I Keep hands on the outside of thesteering wheel. Placing them
insidethe steering wheel rim could increasethe risk that they are
injured when thesupplemental front air bag inflates.

Supplemental front air bag systemThe driver supplemental air bag
is located inthe center of the steering wheel; the frontpassenger
supplemental air bag is mounted inthe dashboard above the glove
box. Thesesystems are designed to meet optional certifi-cation
requirements under U.S. regulations.They are also permitted in
Canada. The op-tional certification allows front air bags to
bedesigned to inflate somewhat less forcefullythan previously.
However, all of the informa-tion, cautions and warnings in this
manualstill apply and must be followed. The frontair bags are
designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they mayinflate if the
forces in another type of collisionare similar to those of a higher
severity frontalimpact. They may not inflate in certain
frontalcollisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is notalways an
indication of proper supplementalair bag operation.When the
supplemental front air bag inflates, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed byrelease of smoke. This smoke is not harmfuland
does not indicate a fire, but care should betaken not to inhale it,
as it may cause irritationand choking. Those with a history of a
breath-ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental front air bags, along with theuse of seat belts,
help to cushion the impactforce on the face and chest of the
occupant.They can help save lives and reduce seriousinjuries.
However, an inflating front air bagmay cause facial abrasions or
other injuries.Front air bags do not provide restraint to thelower
body.The seat belts should be correctly worn andthe driver and
passenger seated upright as faras practical away from the steering
wheel ordashboard. Since the supplemental front airbag inflates
quickly in order to help protect theoccupant, the force of the
front air bag inflatingcan increase the risk of injury if the
occupant istoo close to or is against the air bag moduleduring
inflation.The air bags will deflate quickly after a collisionis
over.After turning the ignition key to the ONposition, the
supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air
bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the system
is operational.

inserious personal injury. Tamperingincludes changes to the
steeringwheel and the instrument panel as-sembly by placing
material over thesteering wheel pad and above theinstrument panel,
or by installing ad-ditional trim material around the airbag
system.
I Work around and on the supplemen-tal front air bag system
should bedone by an authorized NISSANdealer. Installation of
electrical equip-ment should also be done by an au-thorized NISSAN
dealer. The yellowSupplemental Restraint System(SRS) wiring
harnesses* should notbe modified or disconnected. Unau-thorized
electrical test equipment andprobing devices should not be usedon
the air bag system.
I A cracked windshield should be re-
placed immediately by a qualified re-pair facility. A cracked
windshieldcould affect inflation of the supple-mental air bag
system.
* The SRS wiring harnesses are cov-ered with yellow insulation
either justbefore the harness connectors orover the complete
harness for easyidentification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that youinform the buyer
about the supplemental airbag system and guide the buyer to the
appro-priate sections in this Owners Manual.

Supplemental side air bag system (ifso equipped)The supplemental
side air bags are located inthe outside of the seatback of the
front seats.The supplemental side air bag (on the driver orfront
passenger seat) is designed to inflate inhigher severity side
collisions, although it mayinflate if the forces in another type of
collisionare similar to those of a higher severity sideimpact. It
is designed to inflate on the sidewhere the vehicle is impacted. It
may notinflate in certain side collisions. Vehicle dam-age (or lack
of it) is not always an indication ofproper supplemental side air
bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bags inflate, afairly loud noise
may be heard, followed byrelease of smoke. This smoke is not
harmfuland does not indicate a fire, but care should betaken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritationand choking. Those with a
history of a breath-ing condition should get fresh air
promptly.Supplemental side air bags along with the useof seat
belts, help to cushion the impact forceon the head and chest of the
front occupants.They can help save lives and reduce
seriousinjuries. However, an inflating side air bag maycause
abrasions or other injuries. Side airbags do not provide restraint
to the lower body.The seat belts should be correctly worn andthe
driver and passenger seated upright as faras practical away from
the supplemental sideair bags. Since the side air bags inflate
quicklyin order to help protect the front occupants, theforce of
the side air bag inflating can increasethe risk of injury if the
occupant is too close toor is against the side air bag module
duringinflation. The side air bags will deflate quicklyafter the
collision is over.After turning the ignition key to the ONposition,
the supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental
air bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the
system is operational.
WARNINGI Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, donot place any objects (an
umbrella,bag, etc.) between the front door fin-isher and the front
seat. Such objectsmay become dangerous projectilesand cause injury
if the supplementalside air bag inflates.
I Right after inflation, several side airbag system components
will be hot.Do not touch them; you may severelyburn yourself.
I No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELTUSAGEYour chances of being injured or
killed in anaccident and/or the severity of injury may begreatly
reduced if you are wearing your seatbelt and it is properly
adjusted. NISSANstrongly encourages you and all of your pas-sengers
to buckle up every time you drive,even if your seating position
includes a supple-mental air bag.Most states, provinces or
territories requirethat seat belts be worn at all times when
avehicle is being driven.
WARNINGI Every person who drives or rides in
this vehicle should use a seat belt atall times. Children should
be properlyrestrained and, if appropriate, in achild restraint.
I The belt should be properly adjustedto a snug fit. Failure to
do so mayreduce the effectiveness of the entirerestraint systems
and increase thechance or severity of injury in an
accident. Serious injury or death canoccur if the seat belt is
not wornproperly.
I Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across
your chest.Never run the belt behind your back,under your arm or
across your neck.The belt should be away from yourface and neck,
but not falling off yourshoulder.
I Position the lap belt as low and snugas possible around the
hips, not thewaist. A lap belt worn too high couldincrease the risk
of internal injuries inan accident.
I Be sure the seat belt tongue is se-curely fastened to the
proper buckle.
I Do not wear the belt inside out ortwisted. Doing so may reduce
its ef-fectiveness.
I Do not allow more than one person touse the same belt.
I Never carry more people in the ve-

hicle than there are seat belts.I If the seat belt warning light
glows
continuously while the ignition isturned ON with all doors
closed andall seat belts fastened, it may indicatea malfunction in
the system. Have thesystem checked by your NISSANdealer.
I Once the pre-tensioner seat belt hasactivated, it cannot be
reused andmust be replaced together with theretractor. See your
NISSAN dealer.
I Removal and installation of the pre-tensioner seat belt system
compo-nents should be done by an autho-rized NISSAN dealer.
I All seat belt assemblies including re-tractors and attaching
hardwareshould be inspected after any colli-sion by your NISSAN
dealer. NISSANrecommends that all seat belt assem-blies in use
during a collision bereplaced unless the collision was mi-nor and
the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.Seat belt assemblies not in use
dur-ing a collision should also be in-spected and replaced if
either dam-age or improper operation is noted.
I All child restraints and attachinghardware should be inspected
afterany collision. Always follow the re-straint manufacturers
inspection in-structions and replacement recom-mendations. The
child restraintsshould be replaced if they are dam-aged.
CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protect them.They need
to be properly restrained.The proper restraint depends on the
childssize. Generally, infants (up to about 1 year andless than 20
lb (9 kg)) should be placed in rearfacing child restraints. Front
facing child re-straints are available for children who outgrowrear
facing child restraints.
WARNINGInfants and children need special pro-tection. The
vehicles seat belts may notfit them properly. The shoulder belt
maycome too close to the face or neck. Thelap belt may not fit over
their small hipbones. In an accident, an improperlyfitting seat
belt could cause serious orfatal injury. Always use appropriate
childrestraints.
All US states and provinces of Canada requirethe use of approved
child restraints for infantsand small children. See Child
restraints laterin this section.
In addition, there are many types of childrestraints available
for larger children whichshould be used for maximum
protection.NISSAN recommends that all preteens andchildren be
restrained in the rear seat ifpossible. According to accident
statistics,children are safer when properly restrainedin the rear
seat than in the front seat.This is especially important because
yourvehicle has a Supplemental Restraint Sys-

tem (Air Bag System) for the front passen-ger. See Supplemental
Restraint Systemearlier in this section for precaution.
Infants and small childrenNISSAN recommends that infants and
smallchildren be placed in child restraints that com-ply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Stan-dards. You should choose a child restraint thatfits
your vehicle and always follow the manu-facturers instructions for
installation and use.
Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child
restraintsshould be seated and restrained by the seatbelts which
are provided.If the childs seating position has a shoulderbelt that
fits close to the face or neck, the useof a booster seat
(commercially available) mayhelp overcome this. The booster seat
shouldraise the child so that the shoulder belt isproperly
positioned across the top, middleportion of the shoulder and the
lap belt is lowon the hips. The booster seat should fit thevehicle
seat and have a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor
Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards.
Once the child has grown so theshoulder belt is no longer on or
near the face
and neck, use the shoulder belt without thebooster seat.
WARNINGNever let a child stand or kneel on anyseat and do not
allow a child in the cargoareas while the vehicle is moving.
Thechild could be seriously injured or killedin an accident or
sudden stop.
PREGNANT WOMENNISSAN recommends that pregnant womenuse seat
belts. The seat belt should be wornsnug, and always position the
lap belt as lowas possible around the hips, not the waist.Place the
shoulder belt over your shoulder andacross your chest. Never run
the lap/shoulderbelt over your abdominal area. Contact yourdoctor
for specific recommendations.INJURED PERSONSNISSAN recommends that
injured personsuse seat belts, depending on the injury. Checkwith
your doctor for specific recommendations.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCEI To clean the seat belt webbings, apply
a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-mended for cleaning
upholstery or carpets.Then brush the webbing, wipe it with a
clothand allow it to dry in the shade. Do not allowthe seat belts
to retract until they are com-pletely dry.
I If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide ofthe seat belt
anchors, the seat belts mayretract slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt
guidewith a clean, dry cloth.
I Periodically check to see that the seatbelt and the metal
components such asbuckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wiresand
anchors work properly. If loose parts,deterioration, cuts or other
damage on thewebbing is found, the entire belt assemblyshould be
replaced.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHILDRESTRAINTS
WARNINGI Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriatechild restraint while riding in
the ve-hicle. Failure to use a child restraintcan result in serious
injury or death.
I Infants and small children shouldnever be carried on your lap.
It is notpossible for even the strongest adultto resist the forces
of a severe acci-dent. The child could be crushed be-tween the
adult and parts of the ve-hicle. Also, do not put the same seatbelt
around both your child and your-self.
I Never install a rear facing child re-straint in the front
seat. An inflatingsupplemental front air bag could se-riously
injure or kill your child. A rearfacing child restraint must only
beused in the rear seat.
I NISSAN recommends that the childrestraint be installed in the
rear seat.According to accident statistics, chil-dren are safer
when properly re-strained in the rear seat than in thefront
seat.
I An improperly installed child re-straint could lead to serious
injury ordeath in an accident.
In general, child restraints are designed to beinstalled with a
lap belt or the lap portion of athree point type seat belt. Child
restraints forinfants and children of various sizes are of-fered by
several manufacturers. When select-ing any child restraint, keep
the followingpoints in mind:I Choose only a restraint with a label
certify-
ing that it complies with Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard
213 or CanadianMotor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
I Check the child restraint in your vehicle tobe sure it is
compatible with the vehiclesseat and seat belt system. Choose a
childrestraint that meets the guidelines of theSociety of
Automotive Engineers recom-

mended practice J1819 for child restraintinstallation.
I If the child restraint is compatible with yourvehicle, place
your child in the child re-straint and check the various
adjustmentsto be sure the child restraint is compatiblewith your
child. Always follow all recom-mended procedures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-quire that infants and
small children berestrained in approved child restraints atall
times while the vehicle is being oper-ated.
WARNINGI Improper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for boththe infant or child and
other occu-pants in the vehicle.
I Follow all of the child restraint manu-facturers instructions
for installationand use. When purchasing a childrestraint, be sure
to select one whichwill fit your child and vehicle. It maynot be
possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in yourvehicle.
I If the child restraint is not anchoredproperly, the risk of a
child beinginjured in a collision or a sudden stopgreatly
increases.
I Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-tioned to fit the child
restraint, but asupright as possible.
I After attaching the child restraint,test it before you place
the child in it.Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug itforward and
check to see if the beltholds the restraint in place. If
therestraint is not secure, tighten thebelt as necessary, or put
the restraintin another seat and test it again.
I For a front facing child restraint, if theseat position where
it is installed hasa three-point type lap/shoulder belt,check to
make sure the shoulder beltdoes not go in front of the childs
faceor neck. If it does, put the shoulderbelt behind the child
restraint. If you
must install a front facing child re-straint in the front seat,
see later inChild restraints for installation onfront passenger
seat.
I When your child restraint is not inuse, store it in the trunk
or keep itsecured with a seat belt to prevent itfrom being thrown
around in case ofa sudden stop or accident.
CAUTIONRemember that a child restraint left in aclosed vehicle
can become very hot.Check the seating surface and bucklesbefore
placing your child in the childrestraint.

Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the
frontseat, follow these steps:1. Position the child restraint on
the front
passenger seat. It should be placed in afront facing direction
only. Move the seatto the rear most position. Always follow
thechild restraint manufacturers instructions.Child restraints for
infants must be usedin the rear facing direction and thereforemust
not be used in the front seat.
2. Route the seat belt tongue through the childrestraint and
insert it into the buckle untilyou hear and feel the latch
engage.Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-facturers
instructions for belt routing.
3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the beltis fully
extended. At this time, the beltretractor is in the automatic
locking mode(child restraint mode). It reverts back toemergency
locking mode when the belt isfully retracted.

4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the beltto remove any
slack in the belt.
5. Before placing the child in the child re-straint, use force
to tilt the child restraintfrom side to side, and tug it forward to
makesure that it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automaticlocking mode by
trying to pull more belt outof the retractor. If you cannot pull
any morebelt webbing out of the retractor, the belt isin the
automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraintis properly
secured prior to each use. If thelap belt is not locked, repeat
steps 3through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is allowed to wind back into theretractor, the
automatic locking mode (childrestraint mode) is canceled; the seat
belt onlylocks during a sudden stop or impact.
