mental air bag systems. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supplemental air
bags or damage to the supplemental air bag
systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem or front end structure. This could affect
proper operation of the supplemental air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the supplemental air bag
systems may result in serious personal
injury. Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel by placing materials over the
steering wheel pad and above, and by
installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
. Work around and on the supplemental air
bag systems should be done by a NISSAN
dealer. The SRS wiring should not be
modified or disconnected. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and probing de-
vices should not be used on the supple-
mental air bag systems.
. The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and/or orange for easy identification.
When the air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the 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.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
E12-A-120227-9D893C45-DE18-4EDC-A5C2-BB2E0A3E017F
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the center of the steering wheel. The
passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system 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 frontal collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation.
SRS AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CONDITIONS
GUID-EA94E724-2BFA-4511-B44F-0B0B6CE015B9
The SRS air bags activate in the event of a front impact
in which the vehicle occupants may be severely injured
even if they are wearing the seat belts properly.
They may not activate when the crash energy is
absorbed and/or distributed by the vehicle body.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper SRS air bag system operation.
When the SRS air bag will deploy

Supplemental front-impact air bags:
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is
designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions.
Some examples are shown in the following illustrations.
JVR0151X
The supplemental front-impact air bag system will
deploy in the event of an impact which exceeds a 25
km/h (16 MPH) frontal collision with a solid wall that
does not move or deform.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system may also
deploy when the vehicle receives severe damage to
the undercarriage.
