AIR BAG PROTECTION WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AIR BAGS Air bags are a supplemental restraint system designed to enhance the protection provided by the seat belt system during certain types of collisions. Driver and passenger frontimpact air bags are standard on every NISSAN vehicle. Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags are available on many 2014 NISSAN vehicles. See your vehicle owner's manual for information about these air bag systems, if so equipped. Please remember, always wear your seat belt, and that a rear-facing child restraint must never be used in the front passenger seat if the vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air bag. See page 10 of this guide for important information about child restraint use. FASTER THAN THE EYE CAN BLINK In a collision, a lot can happen in just one second. Generally, at 0.01 seconds after a collision starts, an air bag begins to inflate. At 0.04 seconds, it is fully inflated. By 0.1 seconds, it has done its job and is deflating. Considering the speed of these events, it is not surprising that many people involved in a frontal collision do not realize that their air bags did inflate. 0.01 SECONDS INFLATING BEGINS 0.04 SECONDS AIR BAG IS INFLATED 0.1 SECONDS DEFLATING BEGINS 2014 NISSAN Consumer Safety & Air Bag Information Guide 1
