bag system. 쐌 Work around and on the supplemen- tal front air bag system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa- tion of electrical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The yellow and orange Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) wiring and connectors should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electri SSS0190 Supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag systems The supplemental side air bags are located in the outside of the seatback of the front seats. The supplemental curtain side-impact and roll- over air bags are located in the side roof rails. These systems are designed to meet voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of injury to out-of-position occupants. However, all of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed. The supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions on the 1-46 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 墌 05.4.8/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 side where the vehicle is impacted, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity side impact. They are designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They may not inflate in certain side collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper supplemental side air bag and curtain side- impact and rollover air bag operation. Curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of roll- over collisions or near rollovers. When the supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful and 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. Supplemental side air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest of the front occupants. Curtain side- impact and rollover air bags help to cushion the impact force to the head of occupants in the front and rear outboard seating positions. They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag may cause abra- sions or other injuries. Supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags do not provide restraint to the lower body. The seat belts should be correctly worn and the driver and passenger seated upright as far as practical away from the side air bag. Rear seat passengers should be seated as far away as practical from the door finishers and side roof rails. The side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the front occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag inflating can in- crease the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against, these air bag modules during inflation. The side air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is over. The curtain side-impact and rollover air bags will remain inflated for a while. After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems are operational. WARNING 쐌 Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door fin- isher and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the side air bag inflates. 쐌 Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain side-impact and roll- over air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself. 쐌 No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag or damage to the side air bag and curtain side- impact/rollover air bag system. 쐌 Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system or side panel. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental side air bag and Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-47 墌 05.4.8/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system. 쐌 Tampering with the supplemental system may result in serious per- sonal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material near the seatback or by in- stalling additional trim material, such as seat covers, around the side air bag. 쐌 Work around and on the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec- trical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring harnesses* should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electri- cal test equipment and probing de- vices should not be used on the side air bag system. * The SRS wiring harnesses are cov- ered with yellow and orange insula- tion either just before the harness connectors or over the complete har- ness for easy identification. When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual. Pre-tensioner seat belt system (For front seats) WARNING 쐌 The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused after activation. It must be replaced together with the retractor and buckle as a unit. 쐌 If the vehicle becomes involved in a frontal collision but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure to have the pre-tensioner system checked and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN dealer. 쐌 No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental activa- tion of the pre-tensioner seat belt or damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt operation. Tampering with the pre-tensioner seat belt system may result in serious personal injury. 쐌 Work around and on the pre- tensioner seat belt system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installa- tion of electrical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. Unauthorized electrical test equip- ment and probing devices should not be used on the pre-tensioner seat belt system. 쐌 If you need to dispose of the pre- tensioner or scrap the vehicle, con- tact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre- tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury. The front seat pre-tensioner seat belt system activates in conjunction with the supplemental front air bag system. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of 1-48 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 墌 05.4.8/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 collisions, helping to restrain front seat occu- pants. Also, the front seat pre-tensioner seat belt sys- tem activates in conjunction with the supple- mental side-impact/rollover air bag system. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of rollover collisions or rear rollovers. The pre-tensioner is encased with the seat belt’s retractor. These seat belts are used the same as conventional seat belts. When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but 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. If any abnormality occurs in the pre-tensioner seat belt system, the supplemental air bag warn- will not come on, will flash inter- ing light mittently or will turn on for 7 seconds and remain on after the ignition switch has been turned to the ON or START position. In this case, the pre-tensioner seat belt may not function prop- erly. They must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer. When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the pre-tensioner seat belt system and guide the buyer to the appro- priate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

If the warning light is still on after the above operation, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. or Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the light will illuminate. The light will turn off after about 2 seconds if the system is operational. If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate that the anti-lock brake system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-lock function will cease but the ordinary brakes will continue to operate normally. See “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” in the “5. Start- ing and driving” section for further details. If the light comes on while you are driving, contact a NISSAN dealer for repair. or Brake warning light This light functions for both the parking brake and the foot brake systems. Parking brake indicator: When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the light comes on when the parking brake is applied. Low brake fluid warning light: The light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light comes on while the engine is running with the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “8. Main- tenance and do-it-yourself” section. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a NISSAN dealer. Avoid high speed driving and abrupt braking. If both the brake warning light and the anti- lock brake warning light come on simulta- neously, it may indicate the anti-lock brake system is not functioning properly. See “Anti- 墌 05.4.8/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 lock brake system (ABS) warning light” ear- lier in this section. WARNING 쐌 Your brake system may not be work- ing properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station for re- pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous. 쐌 Pressing the brake pedal with the engine stopped and/or a low brake fluid level may increase your stop- ping distance and braking will re- quire greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel. 쐌 If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked at a NISSAN dealer. Charge warning light If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not functioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the generator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN dealer immediately. CAUTION Do not continue driving if the generator belt is loose, broken or missing. Door open warning light This light comes on when any of the doors are not closed securely while the ignition switch is ON. Engine oil pressure warning light This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the light blinks or comes on during normal driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine immediately and call a NISSAN dealer or other authorized repair shop. The oil pressure warning light is not de- signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. See “Engine oil” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section. CAUTION Running the engine with the engine oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. Intelligent Key warning light (for Intelligent Key system) (if so equipped) This light comes on in green when it is possible to turn the ignition switch. When the light comes on in red, it is not possible to turn the ignition switch. 쐌 The warning light blinks in red when the Intelligent Key is outside the vehicle with the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position. Confirm the location of the key as soon as possible when the warning light blinks in red. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you while driving the vehicle. 쐌 The warning light goes off about 10 seconds Instruments and controls 2-11 墌 05.4.8/Z50-D/V5.0 墍 after the Intelligent Key is brought inside the vehicle. Low fuel warning light This light comes on when the fuel in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E. There will be a small reserve of fuel re- maining in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches E. Low tire pressure warning light (if so equipped) After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light comes on for about 1 second and then turns off. This light warns of low tire pressure. NISSAN’s low tire pressure warning system is a tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and 2-12 Instruments and controls tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s han- dling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pres- sure as specified in the vehicle placard and Owner’s Manual. The recommended inflation pressure may also be found on the Tire and Loading Information label. Low tire pressure warning: If the vehicle is being driven with a low tire pressure (lower than 27 psi, 190 kPa), the light will illuminate and the chime will sound for about 10 seconds. If you select the tire pressure in the display, the FLAT TIRE warning message will be displayed. For additional information, see “Low tire pres- sure warning system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case of emergency” section. Also, you can check the pressure of all 4 tires on the display screen. See “Tire pressure information” in the “4. Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio sys- tems” section. WARNING 쐌 If the light does not come on with the key switch turned ON, have the ve- hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. 쐌 If the light comes on while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe locationand stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal in- jury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pres- sure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still comes on while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat.
