you slide the seat forward or
backward to the desired position.
Release the lever to lock the seat
in position.

2

， Reclining（Except for bench）

Pull the lever up and lean back
until the desired angle is obtained.
To bring the seat back forward
again. Pull the lever and move
your body forward. The seat back
will move forward automatically.

Warning

SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
（Models equipped with

driver and front passenger

air bags

）

This

Supplemental

Restraint

System

section

contains

important information concerning
the driver and passenger air bags.
The

Supplemental

Restraint

System Air Bag can help reduce
impact force to the driver in
certain frontal collisions. The air
bag is designed to supplement
the crash protection provided by
the driver seat belt and is not a
substitute for it. The seat belts
should always be correctly worn
and the driver seated a suitable
distance from the steering wheel.
(See “Seat belts” for instructions
and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The air bag works when the
ignition key is on the

“on” or

“start” position .

Pre-driving checks and adjustments 2-11

Warning

●

The air bag ordinarily will

not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, roll over,
or

lower

severity

frontal

collision; so always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in
various kinds of accidents.

●

The seat belts and the air

bag are most effective when
you are sitting back and
upright in the seat. Air bag
inflates with great force. If you
are unrestrained, leaning

forward, sitting sideways or out
of position in any way, you are
at greater risk of injury or death
in a crash and may also receive
serious or fatal injuries from
the air bag if you are up against
it when it inflates.

Air Bag System
The driver air bag is located in the
center of the steering wheel. The
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.
When the 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, but care
should

be

taken

not

to

intentionally inhale it, as it may
cause irritation and choking. The
air bag, along with the use of seat
belts, helps to cushion the impact
force on the face and chest of the

2-12 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

occupant.
The seat belts should be correctly
worn and the driver seated
upright as far as practical away
from the steering wheel. Since the
air bag inflates quickly in order to
help protect the occupant, the
force of the 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 air bag will deflate
quickly after a collision.

After turning the ignition key to
the “ON” position, the air bag
warning light illuminates. The
air bag warning light will turn
off after about 7 seconds if the
system is operational.

WARNING

●

Right

after

inflation,

several

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 the air
bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the air
bag or damage to the air bag
system.

●

Tampering with the air bag

system may result in serious
personal

injury.

Tampering

includes

changes

to

the

steering

wheel

by

placing

material

over

the

steering

wheel pad or by installing
additional trim material around
the air bag system.

●

Do not attach any objects

to the steering wheel pad.
Objects

attached

to

the

steering

wheel

pad

may

become dangerous projectiles

and cause injury if the air bag
inflates.

Work around and on the air bag
system should be done by an
authorized Zhengzhou NISSAN
dealer.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments 2-13

AIR BAG WARNING LABEL
