bags do not provide restraint to the lower body. The seat belts should be correctly worn and the driver and passenger seated upright as far as practical away from the supplemental side air bag. Rear seat passengers should be seated as far away as practical from the door finishers and side roof rails. The side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the front and rear outboard occupants. Because of this, the force of the side air bag and curtain sideimpact/rollover air bag inflating can increase the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or is against, these air bag modules during inflation. The side air bag will deflate quickly after the collision is over. The curtain side-impact and rollover air bags will remain inflated for a while. The supplemental side air bags and curtain side-impact and rollover air bags operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START position. After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the systems are operational. WARNING ¼ Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, do not place any objects (an umbrella, bag, etc.) between the front door finisher and the front seat. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the supplemental side air bag inflates. ¼ Right after inflation, several side air bag and curtain side-impact and rollover air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself. ¼ No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the side air bag and curtain sideimpact/rollover air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the side air bag and curtain sideimpact/rollover air bag or damage to the side air bag and curtain sideimpact/rollover air bag system. ¼ Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle's electrical system, suspension system or side panel. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system. ¼ Tampering with the supplemental system may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material near the seatback or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, around the side air bag. ¼ Work around and on the side air bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag system should be done by a NISSAN dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by a NISSAN dealer. The SRS wiring harnesses* should not be modified or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the side air bag system. * The SRS wiring harnesses connec- Safety - seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-53
