NISSAN 2008 Altima Hybrid - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 77)

WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the supplemental
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact and supple-
mental air bags and/or pretensioners will
not operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon
as possible.
Repair and replacement procedure
The supplemental front air bags, front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bags,
roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental
air bags and seat belt pretensioners are designed
to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light remains illuminated after inflation
has occurred. Repair and replacement of these
supplemental air bag systems should be done
only by a NISSAN dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the supplemental front air bags, supple-
mental side air bags, curtain side-impact air
bags, pretensioners and related parts should be
pointed out to the person performing the mainte-
nance. The ignition should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or inside
the vehicle.
WARNING
● Once a supplemental front air bag,
side-impact supplemental air bag, cur-
tain side-impact and supplemental air
bag has inflated, the air bag module will
not function again and must be re-
placed. Additionally, if any of the
supplemental front air bags inflate, the
activated pretensioners must also be
replaced. The air bag module and pre-
tensioners should be replaced by a
NISSAN dealer. The air bag module and
pretensioners cannot be repaired.
● The supplemental front air bag, curtain
side-impact and supplemental air bag
systems, and the pretensioners should
be inspected by a NISSAN dealer if
there is any damage to the front end or
side portion of the vehicle.
● If you need to dispose of the supple-
mental air bag, pretensioners or scrap
the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer.
Correct supplemental air bag and pre-
tensioner disposal procedures are set
forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
