In addition to the above, certain objects placed
on the front passenger seat may also cause the
light to operate as described above depending
on their weight.
For additional information related to the nor-
mal operation and troubleshooting of this
occupant classification sensor system, please
refer to “Normal operation” (P.1-42) and “Trou-
bleshooting” (P.1-42) in this section.
Front passenger air bag:
GUID-22018305-9BAB-4201-B6FC-C08EB94AEAE0
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, it
will not inflate in a crash. The driver’s air bag
and other air bags in your vehicle are not part
of this system.
The purpose of this system is to help reduce
the risk of injury or death from an inflating air
bag to certain front passenger seat occupants,
such as children, by requiring the air bag to be
automatically turned OFF.
The occupant classification sensors (weight
sensors) are on the seat frame under the front
passenger’s seat and are designed to detect an
occupant and objects on the seat. For example,
if a child is in the front passenger seat, the
Advanced Air Bag System is designed to turn
the front passenger air bag OFF. Also, if a child
restraint is on the seat, the occupant classifica-
tion sensors can detect it and cause the air bag
to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as
outlined in this manual should not cause the
passenger’s air bag to be automatically turned
OFF. For small adults, it may be turned OFF,
however, if the occupant does not sit on the
seat properly (for example, by not sitting up-
right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position), this could
cause the sensors to turn the air bag OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing the
seat belt properly for the most effective pro-
tection by the seat belt and supplemental air
bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and chil-
dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.
NISSAN also recommends that appropriate
child restraints and booster seats be properly
installed in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the
occupant classification sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the front
passenger’s air bag OFF for specified child
restraints. Failing to properly secure child
restrains and to use the automatic locking
mode (child restraint mode) (if equipped) may
allow the restraint to tip or move in an accident
or sudden stop. This can also result in the
passenger’s air bag inflating in a crash instead
of being OFF. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-15) for
proper use and installation.)
If the front passenger’s seat is not occupied,
the passenger’s air bag is designed not to
inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object being detected
by the occupant classification sensors. Other
conditions could also result in air bag inflation,
such as if a child is standing on the seat, or if
two children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be sure that
you and all vehicle occupants are seated and
restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status light,
you can monitor when the front passenger air
bag is automatically turned OFF.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated
(indicating that the air bag is OFF), it could be
that the person is a small adult, or is not sitting
on the seat properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front
seat, the front passenger air bag status light
may or may not be illuminated, depending on
the size of the child and the type of child
restraint being used. If the air bag status light is
not illuminated (indicating that the air bag
might inflate in a crash), it could be that the
child restraint or seat belt is not being used
properly. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly, the seat belt is used properly
and the occupant is positioned properly. If the
air bag status light is still not illuminated,
reposition the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
