WARNING

To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s advanced air bag system, please ob-
serve the following items.

Do not allow a passenger in the rear

seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.

Do not place heavy loads heavier than

2.2 lb (1 kg) on the seatback, head
restraint/headrest or in the seatback
pocket.

Do not store luggage behind the seat

that can press into the seatback.

Do not position the front passenger

seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the
front seat does contact the rear seat,
the air bag system may determine a
sensor malfunction has occurred and
the front passenger air bag status light
may illuminate and the supplemental
air bag warning light may flash.

If a forward facing child restraint is in-

stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy
in a collision. Also the front passenger
air bag status light may not illuminate.
See “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion 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 passenger air

bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed later in this section, please take
your vehicle to your NISSAN dealer to
check

the

occupant

classification

system.

Until you have confirmed with your

dealer that your passenger seat occu-
pant classification system is working
properly, position the occupants in the
rear seating positions.

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S. regu-
lations. It is also permitted in Canada. However,
all of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is
located in the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is
mounted in the dashboard above the glove box.
The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, although they may in-
flate if the forces in another type of collision are
similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact.
