belts, helps to cushion the impact force
on the head area of the front occupants.
Curtain air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head and chest area
of occupants in the front and rear out-
board seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries.
However, an inflating side air bag or
curtain air bag may cause abrasions or
other injuries. Side air bags and curtain air
bags do not provide restraint to the lower
body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver, front passenger and rear
outboard occupants seated upright as far
as practical away from the side air bags.
Rear seat passengers should be seated as
far away as practical from the door
finishers and side roof rails. The side air
bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to help protect the occupants.
Because of this, the force of the side air
bags and curtain air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupant
is too close to, or is against, these air bag
modules during inflation. The side air
bags will deflate quickly after the collision
is over. The front central side air bag and
curtain air bags will remain inflated for a
short time.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the ignition switch is
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 systems
are operational.
WARNING
. Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front and rear
seats. Also, do not place any
objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.)
between the front and rear door
finisher, the center console, and
the front and rear seats. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a
side air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side
air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tem 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 side air bag and
curtain air bag systems. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental
inflation of the side air bag and
curtain air bag systems.
. Do not make unauthorized
changes to your vehicle’s electri-
cal system, suspension system or
side panel. This could affect prop-
er operation of the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems.
. Tampering with the side air bag
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not
change the front and rear seats
by placing material near the seat-
backs or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers,
around the side air bag.
. Removing or modifying the front
and rear passenger seat may
affect the function of the air bag
system and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for work on and
around the side air bag and
curtain air bag. It is also recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for installation of electrical equip-
ment. The Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) wiring
harnesses* should not be modi-
fied or disconnected. Unauthor-
ized electrical test equipment
