bags or damage to the supplemental air bag
systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-
tem, front end structure, and side panels.
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 and the instrument panel by
placing materials over the steering wheel
pad and above, around or on the instrument
panel or by installing additional trim materi-
als around the supplemental air bag sys-
tems.
. 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
GUID-10D19F42-D875-4 BD1-910E-75A8CE2F4492
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 (if
equipped) 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.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT SYSTEM (if
equipped)
GUID-1EF6D71E-7544-4260-A34C-C08560F5757D
WARNING:
. The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be re-
used after activation. It must be replaced
together with the retractor and buckle as a
unit.
. If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision
but the pre-tensioner 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 pre-
tensioner seat belt system. This is to prevent
accidental activation of the pre-tensioner
seat belt or damage to the pre-tensioner
seat belt system.
. Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat
belt system 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 pre-
tensioner seat belt system.
. If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle,
contact a NISSAN dealer. Correct pre-ten-
sioner disposal procedures are set forth in
the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
Incorrect disposal procedures could cause
personal injury.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat belt’s
retractor and anchor. These seat belts are used the
same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, 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.

DURE
GUID-1C1079A0-6942-4EA2-BCA3-C0257EB521C4

. The supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer
