WARNING
The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in theevent of a sideimpact, rear
impact, rollover, or lower severity fron-
tal 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 “Frontpassenger air
bag and status light” later in this
section.
The seat belts and the front air bags are
most effective when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat. The front
air bags inflate with great force. Even
with the NISSANAdvanced Air Bag Sys-
tem, if you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of posi-
tion inany way, youare atgreater risk of
injury or death in a crash. You may also
receive serious or fatalinjuries from the
front air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Alwayssit back against
the seatback and as far away as practi-
cal from the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Always use the seat belts.
The driver andfront passenger seat belt
buckles are equipped with sensors that
detect if theseat belts arefastened. The
Advanced Air Bag System monitors the
severity of a collision and seat belt us-
age then inflates the air bags. Failure to
properly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
The front passenger seat is equipped
with an occupant classification sensor
(pressure 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 acci-
dent. See “Front passenger air bag and
status light” later in this section.
Keep hands on the outside of the steer-
ing wheel. Placing them inside the
steering wheel rim could increase the
risk that they are injured when the front
air bag inflates.
