SEATS

Seat Adjustment

Warning

●

Do not adjust the driver

’s

seat  while  driving.  This  seat
moves  suddenly  and  could
cause  loss  of  control  of  the
vehicle.

●

After adjustment, check to

be sure that the seat is
securely locked.

， Forward and backward

Pull the lever up and hold it while
you slide the seat forward or
backward to the desired position.
Release the lever to lock the seat
in position.

， 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

The  seatback  should  not  be
reclined  any more than needed
for  comfort.  Seat  belts  are  the
most

effective

when

the

passenger  sits  well  back  and
straight  up  in  the  seat.  If  the
seat  is  reclined,  the  risk  of
sliding  under  the  lap  belt  and
being injured is in increased.

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

heard,

followed  by  release  of  smoke.
This  smoke  is  not  harmful  and
does  not  indicate  a  fire,  but  care
should

taken

not

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

made

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

the

steering

wheel

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

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.
