LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system ● Do not place heavy loads heavier than 2.2 lb (1 kg) on the seatback, head restraint/headrest or in the seatback pocket. ● Do not store luggage behind the seat that can press into the seatback. ● Do not position the front passenger seat so it contacts the rear seat. If the front seat does contact the rear seat, the air bag system may determine a sensor malfunction has occurred and the front passenger air bag status light may illuminate and the supplemental air bag warning light may flash. ● If a forward facing child restraint is installed in the front passenger seat, do not position the front passenger seat so the child restraint contacts the instrument panel. If the child restraint does contact the instrument panel, the system may determine the seat is occupied and the passenger air bag may deploy in a collision. Also the front passenger air bag status light may not illuminate. See "Child restraints" earlier in this section for information about installing and using child restraints. ● Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag status light. ● If you notice that the front passenger air bag status light is not operating as described later in this section, please take your vehicle to your NISSAN dealer to check the occupant classification system. ● Until you have confirmed with your dealer that your passenger seat occupant classification system is working properly, position the occupants in the rear seating positions. This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and front passenger seats. This system is designed to meet certification requirements under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in Canada. However, all of the information, cautions and warnings in this manual still apply and must be followed. The driver supplemental front-impact air bag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger supplemental front-impact air bag is mounted in the dashboard above the glove box. The front air bags are designed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions, although they may inflate if the forces in another type of collision are similar to those of a higher severity frontal impact. NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System (front seats) WARNING To ensure proper operation of the passenger's advanced air bag system, please observe the following items. ● Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat to push or pull on the seatback pocket.
