NISSAN 2015 Rogue - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 76)

status light will go from OFF to ON for a few
seconds and then to OFF. This is normal system
operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front passenger air
bag system, the supplemental air bag warning
light
, located in the meter and gauges area
of the instrument panel, will blink. Have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
In order for the Occupant Classification System
to classify the right front passenger based on
weight, please follow the precautions and steps
outlined below:
Precautions
● Make sure there are no objects weighing
over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hanging on the seat or
placed in the seat-back pocket.
● Make sure that a child seat or other object is
not pressing against the rear of the seat-
back.
● Make sure that a rear passenger is not push-
ing or pulling on the back of the front pas-
senger’s seat.
● Make sure that the front seat or seat-back is
not forced back against an object on the
seat or floor behind it.
● Make sure that there is no object placed
under the front passenger’s seat.
Steps
1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”
section of the Owner’s Manual. Sit upright,
leaning against the seat back, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet comfort-
ably extended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on the occu-
pant’s lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat
belts” section of the Owner’s Manual.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds al-
lowing the system to classify the passenger
before the vehicle is put into motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the
passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sys-
tem locks the classification during driving
so it is important that you confirm that the
passenger is properly classified prior to
driving. Also, the occupant classification
system may recalculate the weight of the
occupant when the vehicle comes to a stop
(i.e stop light, stop sign etc.), so front pas-
senger seat occupants should continue to
remain seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the passenger air bag status light is
incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with no front passenger and
no objects on the front passenger seat:
This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hang-
ing on the seat or placed in the seat-back
pocket.
● A child seat or other object pressing against
the rear of the seat-back.
● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger’s seat.
