1-58 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
The knee air bag provides restraint to the
lower body.
The knee air bag inflates quickly in order
to help protect the occupants. Because of
this, the force of the knee air bag inflating
can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against,
this air bag module during inflation. The
knee air bag will deflate quickly after the
collision is over OR the knee air bag will
remain inflated for a short time.
The knee air bag operates only when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the system
is operational.
WARNING
. Do not place any objects between
the knee bolster and the driver’s
or passenger’s seat. Such objects
may become dangerous projec-
tiles and cause injury if a knee air
bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, the knee air
bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should
be made to any components or
wiring of the knee air bag system.
This is to preventdamageto or
accidental inflation of the knee
air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system or suspension system.
This could affect proper opera-
tion of the knee air bag system.
. Tampering with the knee air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the driver or passenger
knee bolster or install additional
trim material around the knee air
bag.
. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the knee air bag. It is also
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for installation of
electrical equipment. The SRS
wiring harnesses* should not be
modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equip-
ment and probing devices should
not be used on the knee air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness or connectors
are yellow or orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the knee air
bag system and guide the buyer to the
appropriate sections in this manual.
