light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means the system is operational. If any of the following system conditions occur, the supplemental air bag and pretensioner seat belt systems need servicing and should be taken to an authorized NISSAN dealer: ● The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds. ● The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently. ● The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all. Under these conditions, the Supplemental Restraint System (supplemental air bag or pre-tensioner seat belt systems) may not function properly. It must be checked and repaired. WARNING If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the supplemental air bag or pre-tensioner seat belt systems will not operate in an accident. Repair and replacement procedure The supplemental air bag modules are designed to inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light remains illuminated after inflation has occurred. Repair and replacement of the supplemental air bag system should be done only by an authorized NISSAN dealer. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, pre-tensioner seat belts and related parts should be pointed out to the person conducting the maintenance. The ignition key must always be in the LOCK position when working under the hood or inside the vehicle. WARNING ● Once the supplemental front air bag has inflated, the air bag module will not function and must be replaced. Additionally, if any of the supplemental airbags inflate, the pre-tensioner seat belts must also be replaced. The air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt system should be replaced by an authorized NISSAN dealer. The air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt system cannot be repaired. ● The supplemental 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 the supplemental air bag, pre-tensioner seat belt system or scrap the vehicle, contact an authorized NISSAN dealer. Correct supplemental air bag and pre-tensioner seat belt system disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury.
