Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the system is operational.

If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner systems need servicing:
. The supplemental air bag warning light

remains on after approximately 7 seconds.

. The supplemental air bag warning light

flashes intermittently.

. The supplemental air bag warning light does

not come on at all.

Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag and pretensioner systems
may not operate properly. They must be checked
and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioners are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. Repair and replacement of these sys-
tems should be done only by a NISSAN dealer.

When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain
air bags and pretensioners and related parts
should be pointed out to the person performing
the maintenance. The ignition switch should
always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.

WARNING

. Once a front air bag, side air bag or

curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioner should be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The
air bag modules and pretensioner
system cannot be repaired.

. The front air bag, side air bag and

curtain air bag systems, and preten-
sioner system 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 a supple-

mental air bag or pretensioner or
scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN
dealer. Correct supplemental air
bag and pretensioner system dis-
posal procedures are set forth in the
appropriate NISSAN Service Man-
ual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
