Repair and replacement procedure

The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
knee air bag and 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 front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bag, pretensioners and related
parts should be pointed out to the person per-
forming 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, cur-

tain air bag, or knee air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioners must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner should be replaced by
a NISSAN dealer. The air bag module
and pretensioner cannot be repaired.

The front air bag, side air bag, curtain

air bag, knee air bag systems and the
pretensioner system should be in-
spected 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 supplemen-

tal air bag or pretensioner or scrap the
vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.

If there is an impact to your vehicle from

any direction, your Occupant Detection
Sensor (ODS) should be checked by a
NISSAN dealer to verify it is still func-
tioning correctly. The ODS should be
checked even if no air bags deploy as a
result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper ODS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment resulting
in injury or death.
