is sitting the front passenger seat exits the ve-
hicle, the front passenger air bag 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 be illuminated (blink-
ing or steadily lit). Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
Normal operation:
In order for the occupant classification sensor
system to classify the front passenger based on
weight, please follow the precautions and steps
outlined below:
Precautions:
• Make sure that there are no objects weighing
over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hanging on the seat or placed
in the seatback pocket.
• Make sure that a child restraint or other object is
not pressing against the rear of the seatback.
• Make sure that the rear passenger is not push-
ing or pulling on the back of the front passenger
seat.
• Make sure that the front passenger seat or
seatback 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 seat.
Steps:
1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats”
section of this manual. Sit upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with your feet comfortably ex-
tended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on your lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat
belts” section of this manual. Front passenger
seat belt buckle status is monitored by the
occupant classification system, and is used
as an input to determine occupancy status.
So, it is highly recommended that the front
passenger fasten their seat belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allow-
ing the system to classify the front passenger
before the vehicle is put into motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the
front passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system generally keeps the classifica-
tion locked during driving, so it is important
that you confirm that the front passenger is
properly classified prior to driving. How-
ever, the occupant classification sensor
may recalculate the weight of the occupant
under some conditions (both while driving
and when stopped), so front passenger
seat occupants should continue to remain
seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag status light
is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the
front passenger seat:
• Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light
is functioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then
this may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors:
• Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning
against the seatback, and centered on the
seat cushion with his/her feet comfortably
extended to the floor.
