necessary, replaced by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. . No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the pretensioners. This is to prevent damage to or accidental activation of the pretensioners. Tampering with the pretensioner system may result in serious personal injury. Work around and on the pretensioners should be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Installation of electrical equipment should also be done by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Unauthorized electrical test equipment and probing devices should not be used on the pretensioners. If you need to dispose of a pretensioner or scrap the vehicle, contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures could cause personal injury. . . The pretensioner system may activate with the supplemental air bag system in certain types of collisions. Working with the seat belt retractor, it helps tighten the seat belt when the vehicle becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants. The pretensioner is encased with the seat belt retractor. These seat belts are used the same way as conventional seat belts. When a pretensioner activates, smoke is released and a loud noise may be heard. The smoke is not harmful, and it does not indicate a fire. Care should be taken not to inhale it as it may cause irritation and choking. Those with a history of a breathing condition should get fresh air promptly. After pretensioner activation, load limiters allow the seat belt to release webbing (if necessary) to reduce forces against the chest. The supplemental air bag warning light is used to indicate malfunctions in the pretensioner system. (See "Supplemental air bag warning light" page 1-44 for more details.) If the operation of the supplemental air bag warning light indicates there is a malfunction, have the system checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. When selling your vehicle, we request that you inform the buyer about the pretensioner system and guide the buyer to the appropriate sections in this Owner's Manual. SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LABELS Warning labels about the supplemental frontimpact air bag are placed in the vehicle as shown in the illustration. 1 SRS air bag * The warning labels are located on the surface of the sun visors.
