NISSAN 2014 GT R - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 95)

1-46 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
necessary, replaced by a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioners. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental
activation of the pretensioners.
Tampering with the pretensioner
system may result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Work around and on the preten-
sioners should be done by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer. Installation
of electrical equipment should also
be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the preten-
sioners.
. If you need to dispose of a preten-
sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with the
supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it
helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types of collisions,
helping to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt
retractor. These seat belts are used the same
way as conventional seat belts. When a preten-
sioner activates, smoke is released and a loud
noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful,
and it 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.
After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow
the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to
reduce forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is
used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner
system. (See
“Supplemental air bag warn-
ing light” page 1-47 for more details.) If the
operation of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
When selling your vehicle, we request that you
inform the buyer about the pretensioner system
and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections
in this Owner’s Manual.
