WARNING

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This

can be dangerous. The shoulder belt

will not be against your body. In an

accident, you could be thrown into it

and receive neck or other serious

injuries. You could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

.For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright. Always sit

well back in the seat with both feet

on the floor and adjust the seat belt

properly. See “Precautions on seat

belt usage” (P.1-10).

.After adjustment, gently rock in the

seat to make sure it is securely

locked.

.Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-

knowingly activate switches or con-

trols. Unattended children could

become involved in serious acci-

dents.

.The seatback should not be reclined

any more than needed for comfort.

Seat belts are most effective when

the passenger sits well back and

straight up in the seat. If the seat-

back is reclined, the risk of sliding

under the lap belt and being injured

is increased.

CAUTION

.When adjusting the seat positions,

be sure not to contact any moving

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-

STRAINTS (if so equipped)

GUID-04CC5D98-D772-4790-ABF2-7D289F4C5E15

The Active Head Restraint moves forward

utilizing the force that the seatback receives

from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The

movement of the head restraint helps support

the occupant’s head by reducing its backward

movement and helping absorb some of the

forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.

Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-

sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said

that whiplash injury occurs most.

Active Head Restraints operate only in certain

rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head

restraints return to their original positions.

The front head restraints have multiple adjust-

ment notches.

Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as

described in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT

USAGE GUID-C987D89B-B838-4428-BA84-4FDC1D0D8DC8

If you are wearing your seat belt properly

adjusted, and you are sitting upright and well

back in your seat with both feet on the floor, your

chances of being injured or killed in an accident

and/or the severity of injury may be greatly

reduced. NISSAN strongly encourages you and

all of your passengers to buckle up every time

you drive, even if your seating position includes a

supplemental air bag.

Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces

or territories specify that seat belts be

worn at all times when a vehicle is being

driven.

SSS0136A

SSS0134A

SEAT BELTS

SSS0016

SSS0014

WARNING

.Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times.

.The seat belt should be properly

adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do

so may reduce the effectiveness of

the entire restraint system and in-

crease the chance or severity of

injury in an accident. Serious injury

or death can occur if the seat belt is

not worn properly.

.Always route the shoulder belt over

your shoulder and across your

chest. Never put the belt behind

your back, under your arm or across

your neck. The belt should be away

from your face and neck, but not

falling off your shoulder.

.Position the lap belt as low and

snug as possible AROUND THE

HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt

worn too high could increase the

risk of internal injuries in an acci-

dent.

.Be sure the seat belt tongue is

securely fastened to the proper

buckle.

.Do not wear the seat belt inside out

or twisted. Doing so may reduce its

effectiveness.

.Do not allow more than one person

to use the same seat belt.

.Never carry more people in the

vehicle than there are seat belts.

.If the seat belt warning light glows

continuously while the ignition is

turned ON with all doors closed and

all seat belts fastened, it may in-

dicate a malfunction in the system.

Have the system checked by a

NISSAN dealer.

.No changes should be made to the

seat belt system. For example, do

not modify the seat belt, add mate-

rial or install devices that may

change the seat belt routing or

tension. Doing so may affect the

operation of the seat belt system.

Modifying or tampering with the

seat belt system may result in

serious personal injury.

.Once a seat belt pretensioner has

activated, it cannot be reused and

must be replaced together with the

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-11

1-12 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

retractor. See a NISSAN dealer.

.Removal and installation of the

pretensioner system components

should be done by a NISSAN dealer.

.All seat belt assemblies, including

retractors and attaching hardware,

should be inspected after any colli-

sion by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN

recommends that all seat belt as-

semblies in use during a collision be

replaced unless the collision was

minor and the belts show no da-

mage and continue to operate prop-

erly.

Seat belt assemblies not in use

during a collision should also be

inspected and replaced if either

damage or improper operation is

noted.

.All child restraints and attaching

hardware should be inspected after

any collision. Always follow the

restraint manufacturer’s inspection

instructions and replacement re-

commendations. The child restraints

should be replaced if they are

damaged.

PREGNANT WOMEN

GUID-FBD4C4A5-05BF-4632-9E6D-F4A82E320187

NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use

seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug,

and always position the lap belt as low as

possible around the hips, not the waist, and

place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and

across your chest. Never run the lap/shoulder

belt over your abdominal area. Contact your

doctor for specific recommendations.

INJURED PERSONS

GUID-CF3259C2-575E-4B85-9F87-106A0CACD8A7

NISSAN recommends that injured persons use

seat belts, depending on the injury. Check with

your doctor for specific recommendations.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT

GUID-9DFCF977-CD67-40C9-858B-21A46B00477A

WARNING

.Every person who drives or rides in

this vehicle should use a seat belt at

all times.

.Do not ride in a moving vehicle

when the seatback is reclined. This

can be dangerous. The shoulder belt

will not be against your body. In an

accident, you could be thrown into it

and receive neck or other serious

injuries. You could also slide under

the lap belt and receive serious

internal injuries.

.For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the

seat should be upright. Always sit

well back in the seat with both feet

on the floor and adjust the seat belt

properly.

.Do not allow children to play with

the seat belts. Most seating posi-

tions are equipped with Automatic

Locking Retractor (ALR) mode seat

belts. If the seat belt becomes

wrapped around a child’s neck with

the ALR mode activated, the child

can be seriously injured or killed if

the seat belt retracts and becomes

tight. This can occur even if the

vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat

belt to release the child. If the seat

belt can not be unbuckled or is

already unbuckled, release the child

by cutting the seat belt with a

suitable tool (such as a knife or

scissors) to release the seat belt.

SSS0292

Fastening the seat belts

GUID-375E0FE4-5C19-4924-8BED-A64820ED813B

1. Adjust the seat. (See “Seats” (P.1-2).)

2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor

and insert the tongue into the buckle until

you hear and feel the latch engage.

. The retractor is designed to lock

during a sudden stop or on impact.

A slow pulling motion permits the

belt to move, and allows you some

freedom of movement in the seat.

. If the seat belt cannot be pulled from

its fully retracted position, firmly pull

the belt and release it. Then

smoothly pull the belt out of the

retractor.

SSS0290

3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug

on the hips as shown.

4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the

retractor to take up extra slack. Be sure the

shoulder belt is routed over your shoulder

and across your chest.

The three-point type seat belts have two modes

of operation:

.Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

.Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode

allows the seat belt to extend and retract to

allow the driver and passengers some freedom

of movement in the seat. The ELR locks the seat

belt when the vehicle slows down rapidly or

during impacts.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode

(child restraint mode) locks the seat belt for

child restraint installation.

Pull the seat belt out until it is fully extended to

activate the ALR mode. Detach the seat belt

tongue from the buckle and retract the seat belt

completely to cancel the ALR mode and revert

back to the ELR mode.

When the ALR mode is activated the seat belt

cannot be extended again until the seat belt

tongue is detached from the buckle and fully

retracted. For additional information, see “Child

restraints” (P.1-19).

The ALR mode should be used only for

child restraint installation. During normal

seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR

mode should not be activated. If it is

activated it may cause uncomfortable seat

belt tension.

WARNING

When fastening the seat belts, be

certain that seatbacks are completely

secured in the latched position. If they

are not completely secured, passengers

Checking seat belt operation

GUID-CC5BCC44-8198-433E-B78E-25BB3B8B7ADD

Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat

belt movement by two separate methods:

.When the belt is pulled quickly from the

retractor.

.When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To increase your confidence in the seat belts,

check the operation as follows:

.Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward

quickly. The retractor should lock and

restrict further belt movement.

If the retractor does not lock during this check or

if you have any question about seat belt

operation, see a NISSAN dealer.

SSS0588

Shoulder belt arm (for Coupe models)

GUID-34E51A12-1FC8-4226-8E84-039D7655FA2C

Before fastening the seat belt, pull the shoulder

belt arm forward until it clicks at the detent

position.

Pulling the arm forward will allow an easy access

to the belt.

SEAT BELT EXTENDERS

GUID-05254D46-78EB-47E2-AA76-3031E215135E

If, because of body size or driving position, it is

not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt

and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with

the installed seat belts is available that can be

purchased. The extender adds approximately 8

in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either

the driver or front passenger seating position.

See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with

purchasing an extender if an extender is

required.

WARNING

.Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,

made by the same company which

made the original equipment seat

belts, should be used with the

NISSAN seat belts.

.Adults and children who can use the

standard seat belt should not use an

extender. Such unnecessary use

could result in serious personal

injury in the event of an accident.

.Never use seat belt extenders to

install child restraints. If the child

restraint is not secured properly, the

child could be seriously injured in a

collision or a sudden stop.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE

GUID-F9F09FD3-79C5-4F51-88B9-71E0A1FCF80C

.To clean the seat belt webbings, apply a

mild soap solution or any solution recom-

mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.

Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat

belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the

seat belts to retract until they are completely

dry.

.If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt

guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat

belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder

belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.

.Periodically check to see that the seat

belt and the metal components such as

buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires

and anchors work properly. If loose parts,

deterioration, cuts or other damage on the

webbing is found, the entire seat belt

assembly should be replaced.

WARNING

Do not allow children to play with the

seat belts. Most seating positions are

equipped with Automatic Locking Re-

tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the

seat belt becomes wrapped around a

child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-

vated, the child can be seriously injured

or killed if the seat belt retracts and

becomes tight. This can occur even if

the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the seat

belt to release the child. If the seat belt

can not be unbuckled or is already

unbuckled, release the child by cutting

the seat belt with a suitable tool (such

as a knife or scissors) to release the

seat belt.

Children need adults to help protect them.

They need to be properly restrained.

In addition to the general information in this

manual, child safety information is available from

many other sources, including doctors, teachers,

government traffic safety offices, and community

organizations. Every child is different, so be sure

to learn the best way to transport your child.

There are three basic types of child restraint

systems:

.Rear-facing child restraint

.Front-facing child restraint

.Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less

than 20 lb (9 kg)) should be placed in rear-

facing child restraints. Front-facing child re-

straints are available for children who outgrow

rear-facing child restraints and are at least 1

year old. Booster seats are used to help position

a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no

longer use a front-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special pro-

tection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not

fit them properly. The shoulder belt may

come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones. In an accident, an improperly

fitting seat belt could cause serious or

fatal injury. Always use appropriate

child restraints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require the use of approved child

restraints for infants and small children. (See

“Child restraints” (P.1-19).)

Also, there are other types of child restraints

available for larger children for additional pro-

tection.

INFANTS GUID-42ADB3F5-AAC2-4C38-8576-FD3C98AF5932

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed

in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-

mends that infants be placed in child restraints

that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. You should choose a child restraint

that fits your vehicle and always follow the

manufacturer’s instructions for installation and

use.

SMALL CHILDREN (for Coupe models)

GUID-8826CA6D-58C8-452D-85E5-0275E62D12E3

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at

least 20 lb (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing

child restraint as long as possible up to the

height or weight limit of the child restraint.

Children who outgrow the height or weight limit

of the rear-facing child restraint and are at least

1 year old should be secured in a forward-facing

child restraint with a harness. Refer to the

manufacturer’s instructions for minimum and

maximum weight and height recommendations.

NISSAN recommends that small children be

placed in child restraints that comply with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. You

CHILD SAFETY

should choose a child restraint that fits your

vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

GUID-6551B21F-87BD-4DEC-9837-08A9557EA109

Children should remain in a forward-facing child

restraint with a harness until they reach the

maximum height or weight limit allowed by the

child restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit

of the harness-equipped forward-facing child

restraint, NISSAN recommends that the child be

placed in a commercially available booster seat

to obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit

properly, the booster seat should raise the child

so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned

across the chest and the top, middle portion of

the shoulder. The shoulder belt should not cross

the neck or face and should not fall off the

shoulder. The lap belt should lie snugly across

the lower hips or upper thighs, not the abdomen.

A booster seat can only be used in seating

positions that have a three-point type seat belt.

The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat and

have a label certifying that it complies with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt

is no longer on or near the face and neck, and

the lap belt can be positioned properly across

the lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat belt

without the booster seat.

WARNING

Never let a child stand or kneel on any

seat and do not allow a child in the

cargo area. The child could be seriously

injured or killed in a sudden stop or

collision.

damage the vehicle.

CAUTION

A child restraint in a closed vehicle can

become very hot. Check the seating

surface and buckles before placing a

child in the child restraint.

In general, child restraints are designed to be

installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder

seat belt.

Several manufacturers offer child restraints for

children of various sizes. When selecting any

child restraint, keep the following points in mind:

.Choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

.Check the child restraint in your vehicle to

be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s

seat and seat belt system.

.If the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the child restraint is compatible with

your child. Choose a child restraint that is

designed for your child’s height and weight.

Always follow all recommended procedures.

The passenger seat is not suitable for use with a

rear-facing child restraint for infants. Therefore,

infants should not be transported in this vehicle.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated. Canadian law requires the

top tether strap on front-facing child

restraints to be secured to the designated

anchor point on the vehicle.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-

STRAINT (for Coupe models)

GUID-2F214B1C-4D1A-4008-9C3D-344B8DA9D83C

If the manufacturer of your child restraint

requires the use of a top tether strap, it must

be secured to an anchor point.

WARNING

.Child restraint anchorages are de-

signed to withstand only those

loads imposed by correctly fitted

child restraints. Under no circum-

stances are they to be used for adult

seat belts, harnesses or for attach-

ing other items or equipment to the

vehicle. Doing so could damage the

child restraint anchorages. The child

restraint will not be properly in-

stalled using the damaged ancho-

rage, and a child could be seriously

injured or killed in a collision.

.If the cargo cover (if so equipped)

contacts the top tether strap when it

is attached to the top tether anchor,

remove the cargo cover from the

vehicle or secure it on the cargo

floor below its attachment location.

If the cargo cover is not removed, it

may damage the top tether strap

during a collision. Your child could

be seriously injured or killed in a

collision if the child restraint top

tether strap is damaged.

.Do not allow cargo to contact the

top tether strap when it is attached

to the top tether anchor. Properly

secure the cargo so it does not

contact the top tether strap. Cargo

that is not properly secured or cargo

that contacts the top tether strap

may damage the top tether strap

during a collision. Your child could

be seriously injured or killed in a

collision if the child restraint top

tether strap is damaged.

STRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE

SEAT BELTS (for Coupe models)

GUID-9C7EE9BA-4B50-4E46-86C5-A0087C7219BE

WARNING

The three-point seat belt with Auto-

matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be

used when installing a child restraint.

Failure to use the ALR mode will result

in the child restraint not being properly

secured. The restraint could tip over or

be loose and cause injury to a child in a

sudden stop or collision. Also, it can

change the operation of the front

passenger air bag. See “Front passen-

ger air bag and status light” (P.1-36).

SSS0640

Front-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child

safety” and “Child restraints” sections before

installing a child restraint.

Follow these steps to install a front-facing child

restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the front

passenger seat:

1. If you must install a child restraint in

the front seat, it should be placed in a

front-facing direction only. Move the

seat to the rearmost position. Child

restraints for infants must be used in

the rear-facing direction and therefore

must not be used in front seat.

2. Position the child restraint on the seat.

Always follow the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions.

The back of the child restraint should be

secured against the vehicle seatback.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head

restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child

restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is

removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure

to reinstall the head restraint/headrest

when the child restraint is removed.

See “Head restraints/headrests” (P.1-6) for

head restraint adjustment, removal and

installation information.

If the seating position does not have an

adjustable head restraint/headrest and it is

interfering with the proper child restraint fit,

try a different child restraint.

SSS0360B

Front-facing — step 3

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child

restraint and insert it into the buckle until you

hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to

follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

instructions for belt routing.

If the child restraint is equipped with a top

tether strap, route the top tether strap and

secure the tether strap to the tether anchor

point. See “Installing top tether strap (for

Coupe models)” (P.1-26).

SSS0651

Front-facing — step 4

4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully

extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor

is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

mode (child restraint mode). It reverts to

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode

when the seat belt is fully retracted.

SSS0641

Front-facing — step 8

8. After attaching the child restraint, test it

before you place the child in it. Push it from

side to side while holding the child restraint

near the seat belt path. The child restraint

should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm)

from side to side. Try to tug it forward and

check to see if the belt holds the restraint in

place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten

the seat belt as necessary, or put the

restraint in another seat and test it again.

You may need to try a different child

restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all

types of vehicles.

9. Check to make sure the child restraint is

properly secured prior to each use. If the

seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 2

through 8.

SSS0988

Front-facing — step 11

10. If the child restraint is installed in the front

passenger seat, push the ignition switch to

the ON position. The front passenger air bag

status light should illuminate. If this light

is not illuminated, see “Front passenger air

bag and status light” (P.1-36). Have the

system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

After the child restraint is removed and the seat

belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child

restraint mode) is canceled.

Precautions on booster seats

GUID-2FF60888-9E8E-472D-B228-6543305D4D41

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not

used properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a sudden stop or collision

greatly increases:

.Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s face

and neck and the lap portion of the

belt does not cross the stomach.

.Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the child’s

arm.

.A booster seat must only be in-

stalled in a seating position that has

a lap/shoulder belt.

LRS0455

Booster seats of various sizes are offered by

several manufacturers. When selecting any

booster seat, keep the following points in mind:

.Choose only a booster seat with a label

certifying that it complies with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

SSS0363

.Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be

sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat

and seat belt system.

.Make sure the child’s head will be properly

supported by the booster seat or vehicle

seat. The seatback must be at or above the

center of the child’s ears. For example, if a

low back booster seat *

1 is chosen, the

vehicle seatback must be at or above the

center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is

lower than the center of the child’s ears, a

high back booster seat *

2 should be used.

LRS0454

.If the booster seat is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the booster seat

and check the various adjustments to be

sure the booster seat is compatible with

your child.

Always follow all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or

territories require that infants and small

children be restrained in an approved child

restraint at all times while the vehicle is

being operated.

The instructions in this section apply to booster

seat installation in the front passenger seat.

chest of the driver and front passenger in certain

frontal collisions.

Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-

mental air bag system: This system can help

cushion the impact force to the chest and pelvis

area of the driver and front passenger in certain

side impact collisions. The front seat side-

impact supplemental air bags are designed to

inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-

mental air bag system (for Coupe models):

This system can help cushion the impact force

to the head of the driver and front passenger in

certain side impact collisions. The curtain air

bags are designed to inflate on the side where

the vehicle is impacted.

Door-mounted curtain side-impact supple-

mental air bag system (for Roadster mod-

els): This system can help cushion the impact

force to the heads of the driver and front

passenger in certain side impact collisions.

The curtain air bags are designed to inflate on

the side where the vehicle is impacted.

These supplemental restraint systems are de-

signed to the crash protectionsupplement

provided by the driver and passenger seat belts

and are for them. Seat beltsnot a substitute

should always be correctly worn and the

occupant seated a suitable distance away from

the steering wheel, instrument panel and door

WARNING

.The front air bags ordinarily will not

inflate in the event of a side impact,

rear impact, rollover, or lower se-

verity frontal collision. Always wear

your seat belts to help reduce the

risk or severity of injury in various

kinds of accidents.

.The front passenger air bag will not

inflate if the passenger air bag

status light is lit or if the front

passenger seat is unoccupied. See

“Front passenger air bag and status

light” (P.1-36).

.The seat belts and the front air bags

are most effective when you are

sitting well back and upright in the

seat with both feet on the floor. The

front air bags inflate with great

force. Even with the NISSAN Ad-

vanced Air Bag System, if you are

unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-

ting sideways 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 prac-

tical from the steering wheel or

instrument panel. Always use the

seat belts.

.The driver and 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 in-

crease the risk or severity of injury

in an accident.

.T h e f r o nt p a ss en ge r s ea t is

equipped with an occupant classifi-

cation sensor (pattern sensor) that

turns the 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 passenger air

bag and status light” (P.1-36).

.Keep hands on the outside of the

steering wheel. Placing them inside

the steering wheel rim could in-

crease the risk of injury if the

GUID-4F03AD05-DD2B-4C2B-8D52-C16B380BECDC

This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN

Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and

front passenger seats. This system is designed

to meet certification requirements under U.S.

regulations. It is also permitted in Canada. All of

the information, cautions and warnings in

this manual apply and must be followed.

The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is

located in the center of the steering wheel. The

front passenger supplemental front-impact air

bag is mounted in the instrument panel above

the glove box. The front air bags are designed to

inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,

although they may inflate if the forces in another

type of collision are similar to those of a higher

severity frontal impact. They may not inflate in

certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack

of it) is not always an indication of proper front

air bag operation.

The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System has

dual stage air bag inflators. The system monitors

information from the crash zone sensor, the Air

bag Control Unit (ACU), seat belt buckle

switches and the occupant classification sensor

(pattern sensor). Inflator operation is based on

the severity of a collision and seat belt usage for

the driver. For the front passenger, the occupant

classification sensor is also monitored. Based

on information from the sensors, only one front

air bag may inflate in a crash, depending on the

crash severity and whether the front occupants

are belted or unbelted. Additionally, the front

passenger air bag may be automatically turned

OFF under some conditions, depending on the

information provided by the occupant classifica-

tion sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,

the passenger air bag status light will be

illuminated (if the seat is unoccupied, the light

will not be illuminated, but the air bag will be off).

(See “Front passenger air bag and status light”

(P.1-36) for further details.) One front air bag

inflating does not indicate improper performance

of the system.

If you have any questions about your air bag

system, contact a NISSAN dealer. If you are

considering modification of your vehicle due to a

disability, you may also contact a NISSAN

dealer. Contact information is contained in the

front of this Owner’s Manual.

When a front 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.

Front air bags, along with the use of seat belts,

help to cushion the impact force on the head

and chest of the front occupants. They can help

save lives and reduce serious injuries. However,

an inflating front air bag may cause facial

abrasions or other injuries. Front air bags do

not provide restraint to the lower body.

Even with NISSAN advanced air bags, seat

belts should be correctly worn and the driver

and passenger seated upright as far as practical

away from the steering wheel or instrument

panel. The front air bags inflate quickly in order

to help protect the front occupants. Because of

this, the force of the front air bag inflating can

increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too

close to, or is against, the air bag module during

inflation.

The front air bags deflate quickly after a collision.

The supplemental front air bags operate

only when the ignition switch is in the ON

position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The supplemental air bag

warning light will turn off after about 7

seconds if the system is operational.

WARNING

The front passenger air bag is designed

to automatically turn OFF under some

conditions. Read this section carefully

to learn how it operates. Proper use of

the seat, seat belt and child restraints is

necessary for most effective protection.

Failure to follow all instructions in this

manual concerning the use of seats,

seat belts and child restraints can

increase the risk or severity of injury in

an accident.

Status light: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F57 9C407

The front passenger air bag status light is

located on the instrument panel. After the

ignition switch is placed in the ON position,

the front passenger air bag status light illumi-

nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off or

illuminates depending on the front passenger

seat occupied status. The light operates as

follows:

.Unoccupied passenger seat: The is

OFF and the front passenger air bag is OFF

and will not inflate in a crash.

.Passenger seat occupied by a small adult,

child or child restraint as outlined in this

section: The illuminates to indicate that

the front passenger air bag is OFF and will

not inflate in a crash.

.Occupied passenger seat and the passen-

ger meets the conditions outlined in this

section: The light is OFF to indicate that

the front passenger air bag is operational.

Front passenger air bag:

GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

The front passenger air bag is designed to

automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is

operated under some conditions as described

below as permitted by U.S. regulations. If the

front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not inflate

in a crash. The driver air bag and other air bags

in your vehicle are not part of this system.

The purpose of the regulation 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 sensor (pattern

sensor) is in the front passenger seat cushion

and is 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 passenger air

bag OFF in accordance with the regulations.

Also, if a child restraint of the type specified in

the regulations is on the seat, the occupant

classification sensor 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 air bag to be automatically turned

OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF,

however, if the occupant does not sit in the seat

properly (for example, by not sitting upright, by

sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise

being out of position), this could cause the

sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure

to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly

for the most effective protection by the seat belt

and supplemental air bag.

The occupant classification sensor is designed

to operate as described above to turn the front

passenger air bag OFF for specified child

restraints. Failing to properly secure child

restrains and to use the ALR mode (child

restraint mode) may allow the restraint to tip or

move in an accident or sudden stop. This can

also result in the passenger air bag inflating in a

crash instead of being OFF. (See “Child

restraints” (P.1-19) for proper use and installa-

tion.)

If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the

passenger 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 sensor. 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 passenger air bag status light, you can

monitor when the front passenger air bag is

automatically turned OFF with the seat occu-

pied. The light will not illuminate when the front

passenger seat is unoccupied.

If an adult occupant is in the seat but the

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 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 passenger 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 passen-

ger air bag status light is still not illuminated, try

a different child restraint.

If the passenger air bag status light will not

illuminate even though you believe that the child

restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are

properly positioned, the system may be sensing

an unoccupied seat (in which case the air bag is

OFF). Your NISSAN dealer can check that the

system is OFF by using a special tool. However,

until you have confirmed with your dealer that

your air bag is working properly, do not transport

a child in this vehicle.

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-

PACT AND ROOF/DOOR-MOUNTED

CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMEN-

TAL AIR BAG SYSTEMS

GUID-DF0A0CC7-16B6-455F-BB8D-7F450B825E8E

The side air bags are located in the outside of

the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air

bags are located in the side roof rails (Coupe) or

upper side of the door trim (Roadster). All of

the information, cautions and warnings in

this manual apply and must be followed.

The side air bags and curtain air bags are

designed to inflate in higher severity side

collisions, although they may inflate if the forces

in another type of collision are similar to those of

a higher severity side impact. They are designed

to inflate on the side where the vehicle is

impacted. They may not inflate in certain side

collisions on the side where the vehicle is

impacted.

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an

indication of proper supplemental side air bag

and curtain air bag operation.

When side air bags and curtain air bags inflate, 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.

Side air bags, along with the use of seat belts,

help to cushion the impact force on the chest

and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain air

bags help to cushion the impact force to the

head of occupants. They can help save lives and

reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating

side air bags and curtain air bags 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 and passenger seated upright as far as

practical away from the side air bag, and 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 out-of-position 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

and curtain air bags will remain inflated for a

short period of time.

The side air bags and curtain air bags

operate only when the ignition switch is in

the ON position.

After pushing the ignition switch to the ON

position, the supplemental air bag warning

light illuminates. The 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 seats. Also, do

not place any objects (an umbrella,

bag, etc.) between the front door

finisher and the front seat. Such

objects may become dangerous

projectiles and cause injury if a side

air bag inflates.

Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-39

1-40 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

.Right after inflation, several side air

bags and curtain 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 side air bag and curtain air bag

systems. This is to prevent acciden-

tal inflation of the side air bag and

curtain air bag or damage to side air

bag and curtain air bag systems.

.Do not make unauthorized changes

to your vehicle’s electrical system,

suspension system or side panel.

This could affect proper operation

of the side air bag and curtain air

bag systems.

.Tampering with the air bag system

may result in serious personal in-

jury. For example, do not change the

front seats by placing material near

the seatback or by installing addi-

tional trim material, such as seat

covers, around the side air bags.

.Work around and on the side air bag

and curtain air bag systems should

be done by a NISSAN dealer. In-

stallation of electrical equipment

should also be done by a NISSAN

dealer. The SRS wiring harnesses*

should not be modified or discon-

nected. Unauthorized electrical test

equipment and probing devices

should not be used on the side-

impact air bag system.

*The SRS wiring harness connectors are

yellow and orange for easy identification.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the side air bag and

curtain air bag systems and guide the buyer to

the appropriate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

SEAT BELTS WITH PRETENSIONERS

(front seats)GUID-FDDDAA52-32AA-4A18-8F0A-ABA4C2466A02

WARNING

. The pretensioners cannot be reused

after activation. They must be re-

placed together with the retractor

and buckle as a unit.

.If the vehicle becomes involved in a

collision but a pretensioner is not

activated, be sure to have the pre-

tensioner system checked and, if

necessary, replaced by a NISSAN

dealer.

.No unauthorized changes should be

made to any components or wiring

of the pretensioner system. This is

to prevent damage to or accidental

activation of the pretensioners.

Tampering with the pretensioner

system may result in serious perso-

nal injury.

.Work around and on the preten-

sioner system should be done by a

NISSAN dealer. Installation of elec-

trical equipment should also be

done by a NISSAN dealer. Un-

authorized electrical test equipment

and probing devices should not be

used on the pretensioner system.

.If you need to dispose of the

pretensioner or scrap the vehicle,

contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct

pretensioner disposal procedures

are set forth in the appropriate

NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect

disposal procedures could cause

personal injury.

The pretensioner system may activate with the

supplemental air bag system in certain types of

collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it

helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle

becomes involved in certain types of collisions,

helping to restrain front seat occupants.

The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt

retractor. These seat belts are used the same

way as conventional seat belts.

When a pretensioner seat belt activates, smoke

is released and a loud noise may be heard. The

smoke is not harmful, and it 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.

After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow

the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to

reduce forces against the chest.

The supplemental air bag warning light is

used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner

system. (See “Supplemental air bag warning

light” (P.1-41) for more details.) If the operation

of the supplemental air bag warning light

indicates there is a malfunction, have the system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

When selling your vehicle, we request that you

inform the buyer about the seat belt preten-

sioners and guide the buyer to the appropriate

sections in this Owner’s Manual.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems,

as follows:

.Vehicle security system

.NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

The security condition will be shown by the

security indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

GUID-2A8196BD-5123-44CE-AD29-A4C97140D00E

The vehicle security system provides visual and

audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors,

hood or rear hatch/trunk when the system is

armed. It is not, however, a motion detection

type system that activates when a vehicle is

moved or when a vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior

or exterior vehicle components in all situations.

Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a

brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key(s)

in the vehicle, and always lock it when un-

attended. Be aware of your surroundings, and

park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.

Many devices offering additional protection,

such as component locks, identification markers,

and tracking systems, are available at auto

supply stores and specialty shops. Your

NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment.

Check with your insurance company to see if

you may be eligible for discounts for various

theft protection features.

5. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security indicator light stays

on for about 30 seconds. The vehicle

security system is now pre-armed. After

about 30 seconds the vehicle security

system automatically shifts into the armed

phase. The security light begins to flash

once every approximately 3 seconds. If,

during this 30-second pre-arm time period,

the door is unlocked, or the ignition switch is

pushed to ACC or ON, the system will not

arm.

are in the vehicle, the system will activate

with all doors, hood and rear hatch locked

with the ignition switch in the LOCK

position. When pushing the ignition switch

to the ACC or ON position, the system will

be released.

Vehicle security system activation

GUID-AD558359-78D6-4E25-91F4-A98C192340AF

The vehicle security system will give the follow-

ing alarm:

.The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

.The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 1 minute. However, the alarm

reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with

again.

The alarm is activated by:

.Unlocking the door or opening the rear

hatch without using the button on the

Intelligent Key, the door handle request

switch or the mechanical key. (Even if the

door is opened by releasing the door inside

XENON HEADLIGHTS

GUID-330D10D4-6990-4E22-991A-8739067F8CB9

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

. When xenon headlights are on, they

produce a high voltage. To prevent

an electric shock, never attempt to

modify or disassemble. Always have

your xenon headlights replaced at a

NISSAN dealer.

.Xenon headlights provide consider-

ably more light than conventional

headlights. If they are not correctly

aimed, they might temporarily blind

an oncoming driver or the driver

ahead of you and cause a serious

accident. If headlights are not aimed

correctly, immediately take your ve-

hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have

the headlights adjusted correctly.

When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,

its brightness or color varies slightly. However,

the color and brightness will soon stabilize.

.The life of xenon headlights will be

shortened by frequent on-off opera-

tion. It is generally desirable not to turn

off the headlights for short intervals

(for example, when the vehicle stops at

a traffic signal).

.If the xenon headlight bulb is close to

burning out, the brightness will drasti-

cally decrease, the light will start

blinking, or the color of the light will

become reddish. If one or more of the

above signs appear, contact a NISSAN

dealer.

on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is

approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-

charged, replace it with a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is almost

discharged, insert the Intelligent Key into the

Intelligent Key port to start the engine. Replace

the discharged battery with a new one as soon

as possible. For more details, see “Push-button

ignition switch” (P.5-8).

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-

ing radio waves, if the key is left near equipment

which transmits strong radio waves, such as

signals from a TV and personal computer, the

battery life may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a

battery, see “Intelligent Key battery replacement”

(P.8-24).

seriously injured if it is misused or

mishandled. Always stop engine

and do not smoke or allow open

flames or sparks near the vehicle

when refueling.

.Do not attempt to top off the fuel

tank after the fuel pump nozzle

shuts off automatically. Continued

refueling may cause fuel overflow,

resulting in fuel spray and possibly

a fire.

.Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It

has a built-in safety valve needed

for proper operation of the fuel

system and emission control sys-

tem. An incorrect cap can result in a

serious malfunction and possible

injury. It could also cause the mal-

function indicator light to come on.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from

buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,

usually in conjunction with increased distance

from the station transmitter, static or flutter can

be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the

treble setting to reduce the treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflective

characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-

flected signals reach the receiver at the same

time. The signals may cancel each other,

resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.

AM radio reception:

GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

AM signals, because of their low frequency, can

bend around objects and skip along the ground.

In addition, the signals can be bounced off the

ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of

these characteristics. AM signals are also

subject to interference as they travel from

transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing

through freeway underpasses or in areas with

many tall buildings. It can also occur for several

seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in

areas where no obstacles exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

Satellite radio reception (if so equipped):

GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407

When the satellite radio is used for the first time

or the battery has been replaced, the satellite

radio may not work properly. This is not a

malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the

satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any

metal or large building for the satellite radio to

receive all of the necessary data.

The satellite radio mode requires an active

SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The sa-

tellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and

Guam.

The satellite radio performance may be affected

if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite

radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite

antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna

can affect satellite radio performance. Remove

the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
