Repair and replacement procedure The supplemental front air bag modules are designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag light remains illuminated after inflation has occurred. Repair and replacement of the air bag system should be done only by an authorized NISSAN dealer. To ensure long-term functioning, the supplemental air bag system must be inspected 10 years after the date of manufacture as noted on the certification label located on the driver side front pillar. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, the supplemental front air bag system and related parts should be pointed out to the person conducting the maintenance. The ignition key should always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle. WARNING ● Once the supplemental front air bag inflates, the air bag module will not function again and should be replaced by an authorized NISSAN dealer. The air bag module cannot be repaired. ● The supplemental front air bag system should be inspected by an authorized NISSAN dealer if there is any damage to the front end portion of the vehicle or replaced if the supplemental air bag has inflated. ● If you need to dispose of a supplemental air bag or scrap the vehicle, contact an authorized NISSAN dealer. Correct supplemental air bag disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
