. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the front air bag. It is also
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for installation of electrical
equipment. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not
be used on the air bag system.
. A cracked windshield should be
replaced immediately by a quali-
fied repair facility. A cracked
windshield could affect the func-
tion of the supplemental air bag
system.

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER
SUPPLEMENTAL KNEE AIR BAG
The knee air bag is located in the knee
bolster, on the driver’s and passenger’s
sides. All of the information, cautions
and warnings in this manual apply and
must be followed. The knee air bag is
designed 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
frontal impact. It may not inflate in certain
collisions.
WAB0048X
Passenger’s side
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not
always an indication of proper knee air
bag operation.
When the knee air bag inflates, 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.
The knee air bag helps to cushion the
impact force on the knees of the driver
and passenger. It can help reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating knee air bag
may cause abrasions or other injuries.
