Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and

rollover supplemental air bag system (if so

equipped): This system can help cushion the

impact force to the head of occupants in front

and rear outboard seating positions in certain

side impact or rollover collisions. In a side impact,

the curtain and rollover air bags are designed to

inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

In a rollover both curtain and rollover air bags are

designed to inflate and remain inflated for a short

time.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-

signed to supplement the crash protection pro-

vided by the seat belts and are not a substitute

for them. Seat belts should always be correctly

worn and the occupant seated a suitable dis-

tance away from the steering wheel, instrument

panel and door finishers. See “Seat belts” earlier

in this section for instructions and precautions on

seat belt usage.
The supplemental air bags operate only

when the ignition switch is in the ON or

START position.
After turning the ignition key to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-

onds if the system is operational.

WARNING

The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact, rear

impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-

tal collision. Always wear your seat

belts to help reduce the risk or severity

of injury in various kinds of accidents.

The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag status

light is lit or if the front passenger seat

is unoccupied. See “Front passenger air

bag and status light” later in this

section.

The seat belts and the front air bags are

most effective when you are sitting well

back and upright in the seat. The front

air bags inflate with great force. Even

with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag Sys-

tem, if you are unrestrained, leaning

forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-

tion in any way, you are at greater risk of

injury or death in a crash. You may also

receive serious or fatal injuries from the

front air bag if you are up against it

when it inflates. Always sit back against

the seatback and as far away as practi-

cal from the steering wheel or instru-

ment panel. Always use the seat belts.
