WARNING
The supplemental front air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or
lower severity frontal collision. Also,
the right front passenger air bag will not
inflate if the passenger air bag status
light is lit. See “Front passenger air bag
and status light” later in this section.
Always wear your seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the supplemental
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 ad-
vanced air bag system, if you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting side-
ways or out of position 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 supplemental
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.
The driver and right front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped with
sensors that detect if the seat belts are
fastened. The advanced air bag system
monitors the severity of a collision and
seat belt usage then inflates the air
bags. Failure to properly wear seat
belts can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
The right front passenger seat is
equipped with an occupant classifica-
tion sensor (weight sensor) that turns
the right front passenger air bag OFF
under some conditions. This sensor is
only used in this seat. Failure to be
properly seated and wearing the seat
belt can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident. See “Front Pas-
senger air bag and status light” later in
this section.
Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the
supplemental front air bag inflates.
