FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM- PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM- PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN- TAL AIR BAG (Hardtop models) OR DOOR-MOUNTED CURTAIN SIDE-IM- PACT AND ROLLOVER SUPPLEMEN- TAL AIR BAG (CrossCabriolet models) SYSTEMS GUID-EB2F6895-6E81-4642-9F76-FC0B9A82DFD3
The side air bags are located in the outside of the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air bags are located in the side roof rails (Hardtop models) or upper side of the door trim (Cross- Cabriolet models). 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 side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity side collisions, 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. Curtain and rollover air bags are also designed to inflate in certain types of rollover collisions or near rollovers.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag operation. When the side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags 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. Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest and pelvic area of the front occupants. Curtain and rollover air bags help to cushion the impact force to the heads of occupants in the front and rear outboard seating positions (Hardtop mod- els) or the driver and front passenger (CrossCabriolet models). They can help save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and curtain 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 bags. 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 and rollover

air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against, these air bag modules during inflation. In a rollover, the curtain and rollover air bags on both sides are designed to inflate. Under both side-impact and rollover situations, the curtain air bags will remain inflated for a short period of time. The side air bags and curtain and rollover air bags operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING

. 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 finisher and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if a side air bag or door-mounted curtain air

bag (CrossCabriolet model) inflates. . Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

. No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of this side air bag and curtain and rollover air bags. This is to prevent damage to or accidental inflation of the side-impact air bag and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag systems.

. Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system, door panel, door trim, or side panel. This could affect proper operation of the side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems.

Tampering with the supplemental air bag system may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material near the seatbacks or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, around the side air bag.

. Work around and on the side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec- trical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should not be modified or disconnected. Un- authorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems.

The SRS wiring harness connectors are yellow and orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual. SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS (front seats)

placed together with the retractor and buckle as a unit.

If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision but a pretensioner is not activated, be sure to have the pre- tensioner system checked and, if necessary, replaced by a NISSAN dealer.

. No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the pretensioner system. 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- sioner system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec- trical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. Un- authorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the pretensioner system.

If you need to dispose of a preten- sioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct preten- sioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN

Service Manual. Incorrect 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 pretensioner activates, smoke is re- leased and a loud noise may be heard. The 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. 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 warning light” later in this section for more details.) If the supplemental air bag warning light indicates there is a malfunction, have the system checked

The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds. The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently. The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.

Under these conditions, the air bags and/or pretensioner systems may not operate properly. They must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the air bags and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

DUAL POP-UP ROLL BAR SYSTEM (CrossCabriolet models) GUID-94609B65-694A-4C47-A779-9B5BB5581CB7
The dual pop-up roll bars are designed to deploy only during rollover collisions. The dual pop-up roll bars are located behind the rear seatback and deploy when the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) judges that the vehicle will overturn. The dual pop-up roll bars, with proper seat belt usage, help preserve occupant headroom in a rollover collision and can help reduce the risk of occupant injury.

ment of these systems should be done only by a NISSAN dealer. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain and rollover air bags and pretensioners and related parts should be pointed out to the person performing the maintenance. The ignition switch should always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle.

end or side portion of the vehicle.

If you need to dispose of a supple- mental air bag or pretensioner sys- tems, or scrap the vehicle, contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct supplemen- tal air bag and pretensioner system disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal proce- dures could cause personal injury.

WARNING

. Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain and rollover air bag has inflated, the air bag module will not function again and must be replaced. Additionally, the activated pretensioners must also be re- placed. The air bag module and pretensioner system should be re- placed by a NISSAN dealer. The air bag modules and pretensioner sys- tem cannot be repaired.

The front air bag, side air bag and curtain and rollover air bag systems, and pretensioner system should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to the front

the dual pop-up roll bar to not operate properly.

. Never allow anyone other than a NISSAN dealer to retract or repair the dual pop-up roll bars. Always contact a NISSAN dealer after dual pop-up roll bars deploy.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions in this section may result in serious injury or death.

The dual pop-up roll bars deploy upward at a high speed when acti- vated. Keep hands and other body parts away from the dual pop-up roll bars.

. Never place objects (such as um- brellas or accessories) near the dual pop-up roll bars, which deploy from the top of rear seatback. Such objects can become dangerous pro- jectiles when dual pop-up roll bars deploy.

Tampering with the dual pop-up roll bars may cause them to uninten- tionally deploy or operate abnor- mally.

. Never open the dual pop-up roll bar covers or modify or disassemble the dual pop-up roll bars.

. Do not sit, place a heavy object, or apply a strong load on the dual pop- up roll bar cover. Doing so could cause damage to the cover or cause

CAUTION

If the warning light comes on while driving there may be a malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce the vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

If the AWD warning light blinks when you are driving:

— blinks rapidly (about twice a

second): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD to prevent the AWD system from

malfunctioning. If the warning light turns off, you can drive again.

— blinks slowly (about once every

2 seconds): Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same, tire pressure is correct and tires are not worn.

If the warning light is still on after the above operations, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

.

If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with un- der-inflated tires may permanently damage the tires and increase the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still illuminates while driv- ing after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible.

. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi- mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as

possible for tire replacement and/ or system resetting.

. Replacing tires with those not ori- ginally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.

CAUTION

The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.

If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate correctly.

WARNING

The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, in- cluding tire pressure checks. See “Changing wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec- tion. Many factors including tire infla- tion, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tire wear and when

tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

4. “OTHER” indicator GUID-17015DA7-2755-4CAC-AF46-619CAF47DE9D This indicator appears when the customer set time comes for replacing items other than the engine oil, oil filter and tires.
