•
Work around and on the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the supple-
mental air bag systems.
•
The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and/or orange for easy identification.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. However,
care should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause
irritation and choking. Occupants with a history of
breathing difficulties, such as asthma, should get
fresh air promptly.
Supplemental air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the chest
of the front occupants. Curtain air bags help to cush-
ion the impact force to the head of occupants in the
front and rear outer seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. However, an
inflating side air bag and curtain air bag may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Supplemental side air
bags and curtain air bags do not provide restraint to
the lower body.
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a higher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation.
WARNING
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In a frontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child.
For models with front passenger air bag switch:
The front passenger air bag is designed to be turned
off using the front passenger air bag switch, only if
absolutely necessary.
